About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Innovative
  • Great for outdoor dining
Guavas Cuban Cafe is a counter service restaurant that has established itself in Minneapolis as a place to encounter new foods and experience deeply rooted traditions through the delicious traditional dishes of Cuba. Inside our lively space, warmth and Caribbean motifs abound. Our guests can take their time and relax as they enjoy a refreshing michelada or mojito and indulge in a classic Cuban bite like our tostones, yuca fritas, pan con churrasco, or our undisputed favorite -- the Cubano sandwich. Come for a meal, come for a cocktail, and have an experience that’s as novel as it is nourishing.

    Warm welcome. Nice selection of breakfast/brunch dishes. I had a delicious veggie sauté with eggs. Special coffees were great. Fruit drinks very good,too. There were some Cuban dishes that were new to us. Patrons must order at the counter, but we were given menus by the greeter and invited to sit at our reserved table while selecting our food. I hate ordering off of a large board at the counter, so I and others of my group appreciated this touch. We guessed this process was due to staff shortages. We were too early in April to use the nice patio in front of the restaurant (street side). It seats a lot of people.

    Had another wonderful meal and experience at Guava’s. It’s so nice to have such a fantastic restaurant right in our neighborhood. The Piccadillo bowl and patatas bravas ( and green sauce) are my favorite. They also have really good savory or sweet pastries that are great to tack into your meal and take home for breakfast the next day. Great selection of wine, beers and sangria.

    I don't like standing in line to order, receiving minimal service yet being asked to tip on a total for which I do most of the work. The food was just 'okay', the service was virtually non-existent, and so, unfortunately, I don't feel in a rush to return. When I go to a restaurant, I expect a certain amount of attentive interest in my being there, plus, service. Guavas did not deliver. I did, however, enjoy the diversity of diners and cultural ambiance that would woo me to revisit more than the other aforementioned factors.
