"Tropicana Bakery isn't the Madrazo family's first business. They previously ran a chain of Eastside chicken restaurants called Los Pollos back in the 90s. You can still find plenty of pollo on the lunch menu here, but we come for the guava and cheese pastelitos and strong Cuban coffee. Besides the creamy cortaditos and dark roast espresso to power you through the morning, try the Cuban iced coffee. It's like the lovechild between an iced latte and a frappe. Cuban espresso gets whipped with sugar until it's frothy and then poured over ice and your choice of milk." - sylvio martins
