Cuban coffee and a room built for lingering

Forget the grab-and-go counter. Kubana Kafe on South Dale Mabry treats Cuban coffee as a reason to stay, with a front room that fills up fast at cafecito gatherings. The food program leans into the same heritage as the drinks.

It's become a real neighborhood meeting spot since opening in December 2025. Go for the cafecito, stay for the regulars who already treat it like their living room.

If you’re looking for the best coffee shop in Tampa, Kubana Kafe is it. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with an inviting atmosphere, friendly service, and incredible Cuban-inspired coffee. Every drink I’ve tried has been delicious, but my absolute favorite is the Dulce de Leche Latte—it’s perfectly balanced, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. It’s one of those drinks you keep thinking about long after you finish it. Whether you’re stopping by for your morning coffee, catching up with friends, or looking for a cozy place to relax, Kubana Kafe never disappoints. Coffee, culture, and community all in one place. Highly recommend!

Every since Kubana Kafe, it has been a fan favorite between my friends and I. It has become our go-to spot for quick coffee runs, study dates, catching up with friends, and much more. Not only is the coffee amazing, but the food is just as good. The decorations are simple and a reminder of the beautiful Cuban culture. The staff is also great with every customer, from their warm welcome to their passion for ensuring every customer has a great experience. Kubana Kafe has easily become one of my most recommended coffee shops in the Tampa Bay area. Wishing you much continued success! 💗

My experience at Kubana Kafe was absolutely incredible. From the moment I walked in, I felt the warm atmosphere is inviting, and full of authentic Cuban culture music and energy. The coffee was outstanding rich, smooth, made to my taste. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience memorable. If you’re looking for great coffee, amazing service, and a place that truly values community, this is a must spot in Tampa. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended! 🇨🇺na☕️

Got the shaken cafe con leche latte. It was iced and flavors were mixed well. Got with whole milk for a smooth taste. Very polite ladies working and welcomed us as first timers. Located right outside MacDill AFB so very convenient. Definitely recommend. Clean and spacious.
