The Fine Grind: Most people come for the coffee, but they end up sticking around for churros and Spanish-inspired food.

Most Popular Brew: The regular or Cuban Cortado. The regular is two shots of espresso with equal parts of skim milk -- sort of like a "mini latte", while the Cuban Cortado includes turbinado sugar.
