 | Great boho chic cafe. 2010-05-24T23:11:00-07:00 Great funky vibe here at Cafe Tropical. It fits in real well into the silverlake community. It Is very boho chic and reminds me very much of some cafes in San Francisco.\r Get a cup of coffee or a sandwich or even try one of their… |
| Cafe Tropical: way over-rated 2009-02-26T10:38:35-08:00 It is difficult to believe people would give this filthy place a 5 star rating. So, the coffee is good, yes, best ever? No. In Vancouver, BC, good quality independent coffee joints come every 5 blocks, with the added bonus of floors… |
| Where to find the Guava Cheese Pie 2009-02-15T21:52:36-08:00 Upon entering Cafe Tropical, you could tell its been around forever. It has a lot of colorful hanging... |
| Hot, Strong, Sweet, and Rich Cuban 2009-01-09T17:45:31-08:00 Don't go to this cafe if you get freaked out by old, creaky, and not so clean neighborhood dives. This is a... |
| The guava cheese pie rocks my world 2008-11-25T05:08:18-08:00 I moved from LA to Boston a year ago and am still thinking about that guava cheese pie...the ice coffee, banana shakes, and cuban sandwiches are tasty too. |
| Great place, great coffee, great guave desserts. 2008-03-30T15:12:07-07:00 A great joint. Anyone dwelling on the lack of niceties or conveniences doesn't really get the point. Its a great place to hang. The coffee is so damn good (don't add your own milk! they know what they're doing!) and the servers are… |
| Surly service, decent coffee 2008-01-22T19:28:13-08:00 The history and spirit of the Tropical Bakery is admirable (I miss those cakes), but sadly it does not make the food any better, and it most certainly does not help the staff act any friendlier. Sad, because it is a really cool joint.... |
| I don't get it 2007-12-22T10:44:31-08:00 Good juice, but how could you screw up juice. I don't see whats so great about throwing an egg on some bread. Also the veggie "sandwich" for about $5.00 is white bread with mustard and mayo, some lettuce, a slice of tomato and an… |
| Coffee and Sandwiches 2007-07-11T03:26:47-07:00 As I sit in my apartment freaking out by the fact that my internet is not working, I had to venture out and find myself a wireless spot to work at. I managed to find this place using the internet at work. Situated on Sunset and without… |
| So So 2007-07-03T17:19:55-07:00 Everyone seems to love this place, but I don't get it. The coffee is okay and the pastries are bland. Also, the service can be hornery at best. Sadly, I keep going there, but only because it is near my house. |
| Silverlake Cafe Bakery 2007-04-20T04:51:22-07:00 Don't come to Cafe Tropical expecting fine dining. It's a very small cafe with counter service. I came looking for the famed guava cheese pie but didn't realize it was more of a turnover than a pie. They offer a variety of salads and… |
| Best Coffee in L.A. 2006-06-09T17:00:00-07:00 Lightning fast, personable staff serve up the best (and the strongest) cafe con leche in town. Pastries are fresh everyday and priced so reasonably it's hard not to order enough to cover your table. Sandwiches are great. Enjoy watching… |
| Excellent Coffee, Tasty Breakfast Sandwiches 2006-05-14T17:00:00-07:00 Cafe Tropical has very good coffee. I also love their croissant sandwiches. They bake all their own goods, and always have fresh roses decorating the place. Parking is on the street, and can sometimes be hard to come by, but I have… |
| Funky boho vibe 2005-09-05T01:03:00-07:00 With Che Guevara on the walls, you may expect this place to be an overrated hip coffeeshop. But when you try their cuban grilled sandwiches, you'll think otherwise. And then you'll move onto pastries and realize that this may be the best… |
| Great, Authentic Cuban 2005-04-27T23:00:00-07:00 I usually go there for the coffee, which is always some form of espresso, not drip. (Espresso con leche, etc.). But they also have terrific Cuban sandwiches, and the pastries are very impressive. I'm not much of a pastry fan myself,… |
| 2004-09-21T15:51:00-07:00 Guava Cheese Pie....ummm good stuff |
| 1 thing I really miss about Cali,.. 2003-09-10T15:47:01-07:00 I lived in SilverLake on Micheltorena St. in '96 & '97. Everyday I got off of the bus and went to Cafe Tropical. I even took walks down the Marathon Hill just to go there! No matter how broke I was, and couldn't "eat-out",.I made it my… |
| coffee shake 2002-08-11T16:21:23-07:00 no better coffee in town then at Cafe Tropical. oh and the turkey sandwiche oh so good |
| cafe con leche! 2002-06-13T17:00:00-07:00 Yes! It's universally agreed that the cafe con leche is wonderful, as is the pecan pie. Don't order a smoothie-- all froth and not much fruit or yogurt. Well, you can't have everything. |
| 2 best morning pastries 2002-05-18T17:00:00-07:00 Cafe con leche here is indeed delicious, but Cafe Tropical also serves my favorite morning pastries in L.A. These still-warm chocolate croissants are unparalleled, and a wedge of the guava-and-cream cheese pie is an authentic Cuban… |
