📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Café cubano is Cuban-style espresso. The first few drops of coffee are whipped hard with sugar into a pale foam (espumita), and then the rest of the coffee is poured in. The very sweet, strong result is shared in tiny cups.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a walk-up window of a Havana street café, sweet strong coffee is poured into tiny cups and people sip it while chatting.
