YaYa’s Cuban Cafe & Bakery

This is one of those posts where I can’t understand why I haven’t shared. YaYa’s is a place that has been part of my life for a long time.
Their original location, which I am reviewing, is right down the street from my old high school. As long as I had time before class, I’d stop in for toast with butter and coffee – still my favorite breakfast! And I got it all for about 3 bucks!

When it comes to breakfast sandwiches, I just cannot stay away from this – it is my favorite. A fried egg sandwich. The Cuban bread, baked fresh every day here, just makes it unbelievable. This bakery sells out of their freshly baked bread by 9 or 10 every morning. I think that proves it.

I think the only person that makes better coffee than YaYa’s is my husband, Ruben.

Here’s a video with the restaurant’s owner on the tradition of Cuban Sandwiches and a recipe

Note: YaYa’s caters and even make complete Thanksgiving dinners for great prices and options. Also, if you go there for lunch, try their Pan con Lechon (pork sandwich). It’s very good!

Anywho – on Saturday we visited with my husband’s parents and brought home some left overs. Yesterday, I decided I would make some pork chops with the really good side dishes – white rice and Cuban white beans called “Judios”.
