Authentic Cuban espresso. Roasted in Miami.
From the ventanita to your kitchen — the bold body, the natural sweetness, and the thick crema of true Cuban coffee, now at 1,000+ locations across South Florida.
The pause in a busy morning.
We set out to create a coffee that captures the full character of the Cuban espresso — the bold body, the natural sweetness, the thick crema.
Cuban coffee is more than a drink. It's the pause in a busy morning, the reason you lean across the ventanita, the thing you share before anything else gets said.
Every bag of Café Real is roasted with that ritual in mind — built for the cafetera, the colada, and the conversation that follows.
Our dark espresso roast draws out the natural oils that give Cuban coffee its signature body. There are no artificial flavors, no shortcuts. The sweetness you taste is in the bean — it comes from the roast. Every bag is built to perform in a cafetera: rich, smooth, and strong enough to hold its character through steamed milk or stand on its own in a small cup.
South Florida has been shaped by Cuban coffee culture for more than six decades. It’s why you can find a ventanita on nearly every corner in Miami, and why the colada — that small, shared pot of sweetened espresso — is as much a social ritual as a drink. Café Real grew up inside that culture. We didn’t import a coffee trend into Miami. We’re part of the tradition.
The 1,000+ locations where Café Real is served aren’t just distribution points. They’re the restaurants, bodegas, and cafés where Miami families have eaten and gathered for decades. That trust — the kind that earns a spot on a regular’s counter — is what we work for every time we roast a new batch.
The taste of Cuban coffee isn't just in the beans — it's in the ritual, the people, and the moment.
Three formats. One standard.
Each blend is built around the same Cuban espresso character — bold body, natural sweetness, thick crema. Pick the grind that fits your ritual.
