They have a wide variety of pastries and sandwiches plus they added the best doughnuts! Perfect place to have breakfast and a cup of coffee. More convenient now that they're open 7 days! Make sure you ask for their guava and cheese, omelette, empanadas and Cuban sandwiches!

Super cute little cafe that caught my eye as I was driving by the other day - on a Sunday at 4:30 - closed - so I made a point of coming today to try their taste of Miami - I ordered a cortadito (double espresso with some milk and sugar) - the coffee has a nice flavor to it and just enough sugar to make it fun without spiking the blood sugar - also ordered the beef empanada - it had a few more words in there but you get the idea - the pastry was nice and flakey and had a good flavor -beef had a little spice, and the flavor was good - it was a nice snack size between lunch and dinner - lady in the back caught my eye and smiled pleasantly - and the young men in the front were also personable - I think perhaps one was new, he was learning how to make the cortadito - I'd say they did a good job - thanks for the midafternoon pick me up - if you live nearby or even if you don't, come on by! Next time I want the guava cheese pastry yum yum

I tried out an assortment of pastries from Too Good To Go. The doughnuts were fresh and the frosting was better than at Chuck's doughnuts (sorry Chuck!). I also got a ham and cheese croissant - I don't like ham, but the croissant was good and fresh and the cheese part was good. The best part was the meat-filled empanada. SO GOOD. I had left a poor review of an empanada place in San Francisco which understandably was not appreciated by the owner. But the pastry here is exactly what I want: flavorful, freshly-made, and not soaking in meat oil. Support small businesses that bring fresh, delicious food to you every day! There is ample parking. The cafe near 92 and El Camino. If you're stuck in traffic on 92 E, you can stop by here for a break and a snack.

Cute coffee shop in San Mateo. Plenty of parking in the lot outside but limited indoor seating. Their guava pastries are delicious and keep me coming back! We've also tried savory pastry options as well and it's always delicious. Coffee is good, nothing amazing but I enjoy it!

Such a cute neighborhood cafe. I Just had a delicious beef and jalapeño empanada with carrots and potatoes. They also have great sandwiches, made to order, and variety of pastries. Highly recommend stopping by for an easy and quick lunch or snack.

Hidden neighborhood gem in a small corner strip mall near Fiesta Garden neighborhood. Good selection of pastries, breakfast bites, Cuban sandwiches. Feels like walking in a friends kitchen . Owner ( very friendly man ) says " We make everything here. Except money". He's right. The prices are so reasonable for the quality you get. Happy to support this local business. I've passed by area hundred of times and didn't know this little place exists. Today was my 1st time and I'll be surely be back . 2 thumbs up

Excellent Cuban pastries! Guava cheese pastry was the best (better than Porto's). So happy to have found this spot in San Mateo. Out of the way in a strip mall near a neighborhood so you need to drive (not walk in Downtown San Mateo). Good coffee too!

Came here again and am upping my review to 5 stars because the owner is such a nice guy. Even though this was only my second visit, he actually recognized me! He seemed very happy to see me again. :) This time, he showed me their lunch special, which seemed like a yummy breaded chicken cutlet on rice with a sauce and plenty of vegetables. I was tempted, but I already ate lunch for the day so I respectfully declined. I then got 2 cheese puffs, and he offered to warm them up for me, then said it was good to see me (how sweet!). When I got home and bit into a cheese puff, I was in love. Delightfully sweet with crunchy sugar crystals, but the cream cheese kept its tanginess. Really need to get this again. I keep saying I'm coming back to places in my reviews, but I'm for sure taking it a step further and becoming a regular here. The owner knows his regulars by name, which is so great to see!

Clean with lots of tables. Quiet spot. Easy parking with a lot. Tons of pastries, baked goods and extensive menu. I had the breakfast braid which was great. Picked up some empanadas. Will try the quiche next time. Super friendly and helpful staff.

I'm always on the lookout for new cafes and was happy to see this popped up on my local search. I appreciate that it's located in a low traffic area, hidden from foot traffic, a small feel local spot. I was enticed by their NICHE claim to being a Cuban cafe serving up a Cuban menu. I haven't been to Cuba nor have I been to a cafe in Cuba, but I was still amazed at their eclectic tropical offerings. From Guava to Passionfruit to Pineapple to Coconut flavors, I am impressed and eager to try more! I ordered the Guava & Cheese Toast and asked for light cream cheese and light guava spread. It was served as a sandwich with Cuban bread and the amount of cream cheese and guava was HUGE. So much that I couldn't eat it without wiping off most of it. Otherwise I loved the tasty toasted bread and the guava flavor! I also ordered a cortado with almond milk and it seemed watery? Kinda like a coffee with a splash of almond milk? I would have preferred they asked if I wanted it in a mug or not too. Otherwise, caffeine that I definitely needed! The man at the counter was lively and funny. Quick to help and converse. What really stood out though was the customers coming in who would stop and say good morning to me with a smile! This is NICHE!
