The 18 Best Restaurants In Silver Lake - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Cafe Tropical has changed ownership a few times over the years, but this 50-year-old bakery on Sunset hasn’t veered far from its Cuban roots. The menu is still dominated by classics, like their famous cubano sandwich and golden-crusted pastelitos with sweet cheese and guava paste. But it's additions like an excellent BEC on cushiony coco bread, lightly floral orange-glazed donuts, and a spicy jerk chicken sandwich that we're most excited to pair with our midday cafe cubano. The sun-lit space is fairly small, with just a row of tables and a small sidewalk patio usually occupied by friends collaborating on a poetry zine. So come early for a guaranteed seat inside Silver Lake’s unofficial social club." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
