Spring has sprung! What is your favorite thing about Spring?

Spice up your dinner with a trip to Guava Tree Cafe, home of the Cuban sandwich and other delectable Mediterranean options. Cuban and Columbian foods are the specialties at Guava Tree Cafe, with prices that are easy on the wallet.

Regulars of Guava Tree Cafe arrive often as part of their lunch-break routine. People absolutely rave about the food and the service. The luciano sandwich comes highly recommended, as do the arepas. You can get a mixed plate with plantains, roasted pork, beans, rice, and yuca fries—just as an example. Really you can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches.

The setting is unique with an adobe hut exterior and hallways inside leading to a number of rooms to sit and enjoy a meal. Limited outdoor seating is available, as well!
