Cafe Don Pepe — Restaurant in Trinidad

This place was recommended to us by several folks who live in Trinidad and for good reason.

It was absolutely fantastic.

It has the feel of a coffee shop in the United States, but totally and completely authentically Cuban. The drinks were delicious and very reasonably priced. We ordered the Bonbon both with and without rum and they were each equally great.

There was plenty of seating around the cafe, but only a couple of tables in the shade, so be aware of that when going in. There's also some food options. We ordered the toast with honey, which was great, but I'm not sure that I would trust any of the other food.

Will absolutely be coming back here if I'm back...

14/05/25. This place is overrated.

1/ Look at this coffee ( cafe con crema 350pesos) half cup okay, can’t you see that hair and they are not even able to clean the cup properly? I touched that coffee marks and it’s not removable I don’t know how many people use this cup and they never get it washed?

2/staffs are not attentive. Maybe because it’s too popular among the tourist so they don’t care.

Paid 1300 pesos for a breakfast with very unpleasant experience with this price better...

The location was recommended by locals and is located in a beautiful backyard, surrounded by many plants and art pieces. The food and coffee was okay. Despite of the beautiful atmosphere there was a huge lack of motivation of the staff. We didn’t feel welcomed. The staff showed no interest in serving us. I missed good manners like “thank you”, “you’re welcome” or “good bye”. Maybe we caught them...
