Cafe Tropical



The guava and cheese pies here are legendary in some circles and deservedly so: the crust is flaky and guava jam balances the cream cheese filling just so. For a dessert it's not overly sweet and is the perfect accompaniment to a steaming cup of fresh cafe con leche. The Cuban sandwich is filled with ham, lomo (roasted pork), melted swiss and a thin slice of pickle, all hot-pressed till flat between two pieces of crusty bread. Stop by on a sunny weekend afternoon, grab an outdoor table and watch the Silver Lake musician types stroll in to start their day.
