We used to consider this place 4-5 stars. But from our last experience, we will not be going back! We were charged $55 for three subs! The foot long was $17, which is not the price on their menu. There was a tip automatically added on, that we did not agree to…$6.90 and it was a pick up order. The one man that is always there is in definite need of an attitude adjustment, he is never friendly, and super short and snappy when you order, also the quality of the meat is just not the same any more, very fatty and chewy.

I sadly felt mistreated at this location. It was 5:30pm. I stood next to my wife. The employee asked my wife what would she want to eat and drink. She ordered her sandwich and her coffee no problem. The employee swifly rushed to the cash register and told her the amount to pay. When she told the employee that I needed to order he looked at me over his glasses, raised his hands and said "you didn't tell me you wanted something". He didn't even smile noticing he was serious. With a not so friendly face he made my order.Based on food quality, ambiance, price and customer service. Pros: Sandwiches were good and tasty, small but nicely decorated place. Cons: A bit pricey and customer service can greatly improve.

Second time there. Both experiences were excellent. Staff is super nice and the food is delicious. I had a Philly cheese steak the first time and a tuna sandwich the second. No complaints at all. Nice atmosphere definitely will be back at my new spot

Everything about this little sub shop is legit. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere both inside and outside in the garden makes you want to chill out and eat. Your biggest problem is picking out your sandwich. It's a tough choice- the Cuban steak sandwich or a traditional Cuban. If you haven't tried the steak, do it! And, great Cuban coffee choices. Wish I lived nearby...

Horrible location.. they tell you 10 mins for sandwiches and when you arrive they haven’t even started your sandwich after 30 mins.. prices for a Cuban sandwich is 15.99 and no price update .. customer service is horrible .. coffee is always cold .. the old lady and old man are rude .. they should retire with the lack of customer service they have .. super super horrible .. subways is better

This restaurant is a Davie staple. Fantastic sandwiches and great coffee. We love the 50s decor too. Great place all around!

Love espresso coffee and cuban sandwiches!!! Very friendly staff!!! Love the 60's ambient inside the restaurant. They have a table that looks like a chevy bel air car!!!

The food is good but every time my boyfriend and I come here to eat, we have to wait so long for our food. It could be only on the weekends since that’s when we’ve gone but just a heads up, if you order to-go, it seems like the kitchen puts those orders in before the people sitting down, no matter who has been there first. This is the fourth time we’ve experienced this. I hate complaining about service but this time, we had to say something. If you are looking for fast service, this is not the place. Also, the announcer, who is there on Sunday’s, would not leave the customers alone to eat and enjoy their food.

It was Sunday the first day of daylight savings time and the weather was perfect for letting the fresh air and wind in this fabulous café! The breakfast and early lunch crowd were treated to the fabulous smooth sounds of Pamela " the velvet voice" Diggs! Yours truly was the the Mc . Either dining or waiting for their orders , all delighted in the music ,atmosphere and food . If you want great sandwiches , or breakfast which is served all day along with the best coffee in south Florida make the original café your dining location. Say hello to the Wolfpack and Ms. Diggs if you go on a Sunday!
