Authentic Cuban sandwiches & coffee from a tiny house
"Whether a quick stop at the original location inside a tiny home in a Sandy Springs parking lot or a visit to the newer Roswell address, which includes a bar, Cubanos has nailed the Cuban sandwich and cafe con leche combo, using a crunchy, toasted bread from La Segunda Bakery (established in 1915) in Tampa. From Cuba to South Florida to Atlanta, owner Ozzy Llanes has made a point of preserving his roots through food. Drop into either location on Mondays for a free Cuban cafecito or visit the Roswell storefront on Thursday evenings for free salsa lessons." - Allison Ramirez
"I saw Cubanos ATL is opening on Mitchell Street as part of the South Downtown renovation project, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner and a full bar similar to its Roswell location." - Beth McKibben
"The first full-service location of the wildly popular Cuban sandwich shop opens Sept. 20 in downtown Roswell, offering an expanded menu and a full cocktail bar. Expect a tight list of traditional Cuban sandwiches (all created using family recipes), plus breakfast items like overnight oats, Cuban toast, and ham-and-cheese croissants paired with Cuban coffee; Spanish, Italian, and spicy-themed charcuterie boards; and desserts such as caramel flan and tres leches cake. The bar begins serving mojitos, daiquiris, beer, and wine in the afternoon. Service is counter-order with a number system and food is delivered to your table. The sit-down restaurant occupies the former Cricket Wireless space at 1007 Alpharetta Street and seats around 60 between the dining room, a small bar, and a sunny patio decked with bright yellow chairs, red umbrellas, and string lights; it also features a retail section selling wines from Argentina, Spain, and Napa Valley and Cuban rums, vodka, tequila, and other beverages. Owner Ozzy Llanes — who started Cubanos ATL as a tiny house food trailer during the pandemic and later opened additional locations in Cumming and at the Chattahoochee Food Works — plans further expansion, including a South Downtown spot on Mitchell Street. Open Sunday–Wednesday 8 a.m.–7 p.m.; Thursday–Saturday 8 a.m.–10 p.m.; cubanosatl.com." - Beth McKibben
"Cuban sandwich and coffee shop Cubanos ATL in Sandy Springs is located inside a custom-built tiny house on Roswell Road. It quickly become a hot spot for Cuban sandwiches and coffee drinks after opening in 2020. All of the shop’s sandwiches are served on La Segunda Central Bakery bread — the oldest Cuban bread maker in the United States — and are created using family recipes. Simply walk up to the window, place an order, and wait to be called. Cubanos ATL includes locations in Cumming, Alpharetta, and at Chattahoochee Food Works." - Beth McKibben
"Opened in August 2020, the takeout-only Sandy Springs outpost operates from a custom-built tiny house in the parking lot of a small retail plaza on Roswell Road that owner Ozzy Llanes designed and built himself, and it quickly gained a following with lines often snaking around the lot at lunch. I learned that Llanes, Cuban-born and having moved to Atlanta from Miami more than a decade ago, opened the shop after searching for a decent Cuban sandwich in the metro area. The menu centers on four family-recipe sandwiches — the traditional El Miami; the El Tampa with roast pork, ham, salami, pickles, and Swiss; the El Pollo, a chicken sandwich mixed with aioli and topped with pickles and Swiss; and a media noche — all served on La Segunda Central Bakery bread; the shop also serves breakfast and Cuban coffee and coffee drinks. Hours are Monday–Friday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; takeout only and masks required." - Beth McKibben
