Nice little bakery with a large selection! Gluten-free pastries are available and everything is made with sourdough, which I really appreciate. I understand that it's a lot of effort and manual labor, but still I wonder if a Pain aux Chocolate really has to cost more than 5$!

Cozy atmosphere, good food, friendly service, gluten free options. I happened to be there on their opening night so it was really packed and loud but the crowd was chill and the staff seemed to be handling it well. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

I’m obsessed with the miso marinated mushrooms in the Vietnamese bowl especially but all of the bowls are delicious! Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Fresh made juices and an assortment of local vegetables to buy to go from their farm! Service is fast, efficient and friendly. Nice front patio to dine-in with tabletop fireplace heaters. My favorite lunch in town!

This was our first time at Kuba Kuba, and it will not be the last! First of all, the food and atmosphere at this Cuban restaurant are very authentic. The menu is huge, packed with delicious options, and makes it hard to pick one thing. We visited Kuba Kuba for lunch on a weekday. At the time of arrival, they were not too busy. We arrived a little before the lunch rush. We did not have to wait for a table. There was some outdoor seating, and the weather was perfect to eat outside. A few other people had the same idea, and the outside seating was full. We sat indoors. For those who are vegan and gluten-free, you will NOT have an issue finding something to eat here. Our first orders were appetizers. We ordered Tostones/Plátanos [deep fried plantains, freshly made at today's state of ripeness] and Empanadillas [two traditional pastries stuffed with spinach topped with their house-made lime sour cream & veggie garnish]. We received huge portions of delicious Empanadillas & fried plátanos/tostones. It is safe to say that the majority of the dishes are Cuban-inspired with some twists on the traditional. For my entrée, I ordered The Paella Vegeteriana. And let me tell you, it was a monstrous portion in a Jethro-sized bowl. My order could have served at least two people. I couldn't finish it, I had to take half of it home. It was loaded with traditional Spanish rice dish with artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes, peas & spinach. Topped with avocado and Kuban bread. It was not the traditional Mexican-style but rather a huge pile of ingredients layered into a bowl. It was more than I really should have eaten in one sitting. I got an additional side of plátanos. With my meal, I went with their freshly squeezed Limeade. The portions are surprisingly huge for the price, and we left with a bag of take-home food. I would highly recommend visiting Kuba Kuba.

I love this place! They have such an amazing selection of fresh food and drinks for such a small place! They also have this gluten free polenta bread that is to die for! The breakfast sandwiches and lattes are my favorites, but my partner says everything is good! Skip the Starbucks downtown and hit this place instead! From the food to the service, you won't be sorry!
