Sweet stuff abounds at Lelolai Bakery & Cafe, but the wondrous Cuban sandwiches bring diners from near and far.
From the restaurant's website:
"Lelolai Bakery & Café is a female- and minority-owned business that opened its doors in March 2001 as a retail bakery specializing in Spanish desserts, pastries and other delicacies, including the flan. ... In October 2002 Gourmet magazine recognized Lelolai Bakery & Café as 'one of the top 200 restaurants in the nation.' The Cafe's Cuban sandwiches have also been recognized as 'the best Cuban sandwiches in town'. ..."
No alcohol available. Serving breakfast and lunch Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
"Though the atmosphere is upbeat, the principal reason for rejoicing is the quality of the house specialties: warm sandwiches on freshly baked pan criollo (Creole bread), scrumptious flan and super-rich cheesecake. Breakfast favorites are guava-and-cheese quesitos (a light Caribbean version of Danish pastries) with a cup of flavorful and not-too-strong Pocillo Espanol (Puerto Rican coffee).
