The New Brunswick Carribean Cafe reminds me of the cafes I visited down in Havana back when i couldn’t travel directly to Cuba because of the Yankee embargo. Anytime i get a craving for Cuban i can just go down and get me some maduros and black coffee just like I use to in Havana. Plantains just an elevator ride away, how sweet is that!The Carribean Cafe also spelt Caribbean Cafe in New Brunswick is a gritty urban corner cafe. This flantastic little place is literally in the shadow of my apartment building.They call themselves the Best Cafe in New Brunswick. I think they also describe themselves as a Cuban restaurant, but you’ll find food from a number of Latin American countries here. In that respect the Caribbean Cafe mirrors the population of New Brunswick which has been majority Hispanic for a number of years. It appears that a significant portion of their clientele are local Spanish speaking folks from the immediate area in and around downtown. Much of the nonlocal clients are jurors looking for affordable food n the immediate area – US$7 lunch specials. The Middlesex County Courthouse is across the street.Sometimes the CC is closed for private parties, but usually they stick to their posted hours. Like a lot of local New Brunswick places they are closed on Sundays because people don’t actually eat on Sundays in New Brunswick.Much of their business is takeout simply because the place is tiny, so there ain’t many places to sit and many people especially many of the regulars tend to linger over an espresso and Pierna y Muslo de Pollo.Oh, and they don’t have a liquor license, so no cervesa and no Cuba Libres.Caribbean Cafe85 Bayard St.New Brunswick, NJ 08901732 846-2620Caribbeancafenj.com

Not a Cuban Restaurant !!. Don’t bill yourself as a Cuban Restaurant and not serve Cuban Food. The owners are clearly from South America and either have no idea what Cuban food is or are using the idea of Cuban food to trick people. How can you call yourself a Cuban restaurant and not have Flan or Fried Plantains for sale.I won’t be returning to this place!!!
I have to agree with Jaramillo. They serve a lot of food for a very good price. I always leave full and with a smile on my face. Reminds me of my abuelita’s cooking from back in the day. The service is fast and friendly, and the ambience is great. They also cater for larger parties.
Lunch special can’t be beat. $6 gets you a giant plate of food, and the food is amazing.
