WOW! This place has an authentic Cuban flavor that truly shines through in every dish! We traveled from Ontario, Canada, and were blown away by the welcoming environment at LJ’s Café. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in.

The customer service here is extraordinary! The staff was always attentive, checking in on us frequently to ensure everything was to our liking and if we needed anything else. It was delightful to see that everyone was bilingual and so friendly, adding to the overall positive experience.

Now, let's talk about the food! We indulged in the pan cubano with lechón, Malta Hatuey, and cafe con leche, which were all phenomenal. The flavors were rich and authentic, making each bite a celebration of Cuban cuisine. The homemade Cuban sandwich was also a standout—definitely one of the best I’ve ever had!

Overall, LJ’s Café has been the best restaurant we’ve visited on this trip. If you're looking for delicious food, exceptional service, and a taste of Cuba, this is the place to be!...

I am here for the FOOD! The girls at the Airport told me I had to try it.

I asked LJ (yes-Owner present) what he had for breakfast and he said a sandwich. I told him to make me something good. He suggest a Cuban BLT! It was an eggoistic fantastic suggestion! Lots of bacon, some egg, cheese and all served on a fresh baked, smashed Cuban, Cuban roll. The Americano coffee was excellent and their service was spot on. This stop just made me feel good about spending my money! I enjoyed it enough that I came back for lunch and had stewed Cuban Pork and Potatoes off the hot plate skillets. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes!

If you’re around Marathon for any reason, make time for a little taste of Havana. And yes, the Barista knows what...
