The 5 best places to have a marvellous breakfast in Havana

1) Mamainé

The café was built by the owners themselves. They incorporated recovered elements such as recycled wood, telephone poles and railroad ties in the interior. Enjoy a lovely breakfast on the terrace in front of the café or on the terrace on the side. They also serve cocktails and tapas later in the day. The homemade pineapple and ginger marmalade is divine. Mamainé is a place for art, conversation and friends.

4) SalchiPizza

Hands down this is the best bread in all of Havana. Bread with a story, baked by Alberto González… Step inside this ‘warm’ and welcoming place for a real experience. Probably one of the most interesting convos you’ll have during your entire trip. You can buy all sorts of breads here, drink a coffee or order a tasting platter. Highly recommended!
