La Ventanita

La Ventanita is a walk-up window in Little Havana serving Cuban coffee, croquetas, and pastries with quick service and casual bar seating. The cortadito and croquetas draw steady lines, while the space functions as a neighborhood gathering point where locals discuss current events and play dominoes. A cultural institution since 1971, it remains central to Miami's Cuban community.
