Luis Galindo’s Latin American Bakery & Cafe is one of the greatest things to happen to me food wise in the last few years. I love Luis Galindo’s Latin American Restaurant which is right next door but sometimes it’s just filled to capacity and I’ll be forced to order food to go. Enter the Bakery & Cafe which is not open as late as the resto but has a menu all its own along with sandwiches, fresh baked pastries and desserts. It’s also right near where I live which doesn’t hurt.
I come here for a few particular things. I always order the Cafe con Leche (Espresso with Steamed Milk) with Tostadas (Buttered & Toasted Cuban Bread). It could be for a late-ish dinner at 9:30PM or an afternoon lunch type deal but it always hits the spot.

There’s also no way you can come here and not put down a couple of croquetas, some of the best in the city.

No visit here would be complete without a Pan con Tortilla (Omelette Sandwich). You can go the plain egg route but I add the Cuban standard of Ham and Swiss Cheese. It hits the spot at any time of day, trust me I’ve tested the theory many times over.
