Cafe Cubano
3650 E Sunshine St, Springfield, MO
Crema's Take
“This Springfield gem brings authentic Cuban café culture to the Midwest, complete with bread shipped directly from Tampa for their crispy, genuine Cuban sandwiches that have Florida natives genuinely nostalgic. The owner's personal commitment to authenticity extends to their espresso program, which regulars praise for smooth, quality shots and thoughtful touches like sugar-free syrups for those particular about their coffee. It's the kind of warm, unpretentious spot where you can linger over a perfect cafecito, strike up a conversation with locals, or grab a quick bite—and leave feeling like you've stumbled onto something special that shouldn't be hidden away.”

We were pleasantly surprised to find a Tampa-style Cuban sandwich in Springfield. The owner even has the bread shipped in from Tampa! The sandwich was crispy and delicious. FYI, Cuban food is not spicy at all unless you add on peppers or hot sauce. He also has a lot of other sandwich choices.
As a Florida native with Cuban Family and a Cuban environment, I can attest that these sandwiches are very authentic and taste fantastic. The price is reasonable, the owner is authentic and kind and the employees are great. Definitely going back. God bless this business.
I absolutely love this place! As a Florida girl, I was seriously missing some real Cuban coffee and sandwiches! Never would have known about it, if I hadn't broke down and got a Sam's membership lol. I work A LOT and the best part of my day is stopping to get my coffee from Sammy and Echo. They are what really keeps me coming back. I could have had the worst start to my day and they always turn it around. Truly 5 star employees!
Fantastic little hidden gem. They had great, smooth coffee and lots of sugar-free syrup options. I liked it and I'm particular about my coffee. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and unique! Would eat again.
I had an incredible experience at this coffee shop! The coffee was divine, and the service was simply amazing. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome. When I inquired about recommendations, I was served the best coffee I've had in years! The atmosphere is quiet and charming, making it a perfect spot to relax. The shop is very clean, and I was impressed by the diverse menu. Although we didn’t try the food during our visit, there is a great selection available. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic coffee experience!
