While the decor isn't particularly attractive, for those of us of Latin descent, it was a kick to see some of the pictures. The greatest of Cuban music were represented. Some cool autographs as well.

Being a Cubiche myself, I did enjoy my one and only visit there. I think every time I go to CVS I'll stop in for my tacita de caf�.

To the list:
Decided to give the Caf� Clave across from CVS on Locust a try today. It never looked particularly appealing from the outside, so I had not Previously been tempted to go in and sample the fare. Today I was Caught in a downpour, and I needed a place to wait for the rain to Let up. Lucky me, to have had the chance to discover a neat cafe.
Based on my experience, I recommend it strongly for anyone bummed out By our dark and stormy weather and hankering for a taste of Havana or A jolt of java in a Caribbean atmosphere. Given the number of neighbors Of various ages who were hanging out in the cafe, others clearly find it a comfortable place to sit and socialize over coffee and/or snacks.
I would not say the d�cor rates highly, but it was amusing in a left-of-center way, and the Cuban music that they were playing was energizing and fun. (Not excessively loud, for which I was grateful.) The service was prompt and cheerful.
I had a skim milk cappuccino, and it was excellent. Much better than The counterparts at some competitors, who shall remain nameless.
Want a change of pace? Give it a try.
