This one slipped through the cracks last week but is worthing having on the record: The former bodega at the corner of St. Marks Avenue and 6th Avenue is going to be reborn as a Cuban restaurant called the Cubana Cafe. The new spot should be similar to the brand’s existing locations in SoHo and Carroll Gardens but be “more focused on fresh fruits and rums,” according to the blog Here Is Park Slope. GMAP
Go! -and even if you don’t like flan get the flan so you can suck up the home made caramel sauce with a straw. Everything we had was great, the cooking falls short of that line where gourmet turns from tasty to intellectual, thank god! Mashed Plantains, Plantain chips, Guacamole. Yeah. I’ll be back weekly. Wide menu, well made, great atmosphere, and the waitstaff wears the best outfits. Cute/classy cuban art on the ladies, peppy and attractive “Got Mojito” Ts on the guys. When they get through their opening jitters I see this place being really fun.
I’ve eaten at the Carroll Gardens location dozens of times and have never had a bad meal or experience, which is amazing in NYC/Brooklyn. Good luck to them.
Juan? He wasn’t so bad. Was sad when he left.
The dude who used to run that bodega was REALLY mean.

where is the one in soho?
*rob*
Yeah…been closed a LONG time.
Excellent news.
The Cubana Cafe in Soho is amazingly delicious, and the one in Carroll Gardens is mediocre at best. Let’s hope this one is more like the Soho version…
Great to see something FINALLY coming to this spot!
