Breakfast with a salsa beat


Little Habana opened a year ago next door to East Coast Pizza in Riverview. When Al and Tanya Estevez, the owners, chose the name Little Habana, they weren't kidding - barely 20 seats were squeezed into the bright little nook of a dining room.

This lively Cuban restaurant has since gotten bigger. An additional dining room has more than doubled the seating for those who gather for superb, modestly priced Cuban specialties. Lots of Cuban memorabilia line the walls, while festive music is heard throughout the eatery.

We had breakfast there this morning and loved it! A visit to Little Habana would not be complete without a frothy, steaming cup or two of cafe con leche!

Al and Tanya are perfectionists and have a passion for authenticity and freshness. My dining partner enjoyed the Spanish omelette.

I ordered an omelette sandwich with chorizo on Cuban bread. It was delightful.

Mouthwatering Cuban food AND potent Cuban coffee, a big plus for SouthShore!

Charms of Leffingwell

Along with a deliciously fragrant lavender lemonade recipe from Charms of Leffingwell, you'll want to read about my visit to the antique shop and tea room here in this week's South Shore News & Tribune.

Charms of Leffingwell was a really interesting place. I think I'll let these photos tell you about its charm and style:
