Palace Cafe & Dairy

This little hole in the wall may look a health inspector’s nightmare from the outside, but it makes up for its lack of curbside appeal by serving good, cheap food. The batidos are excellent. They’re about 10 ounces in size and are thick, creamy and made with authentic fruit. The food is under $ 10 per plate and excellent. I’ve been twice and ordered the beef and the pork, and I can’t decide which is better. Suffice to say they’re both very good. The protein on the menu is accompanied with rice and fried plantains and will fill you up.
If you’re in the area looking for a quick bite to eat, Palace Café & Dairy will leave you full and satisfied. It’s as affordable as fast food, but healthier and tastes good too.

Very rich and creamy ice cream. I love the Oreo cup and decent prices. A nice lace to stop if you’re near the new stadium.

I just tried a mamey shake for the first time today and it was delicious!
This place is just a block from my apartment and is wonderful for a quick snack.
I went today for a shake and tostones. The day was breezy and beautiful, there was the sound of children playing and I had good company. Everything is made to order! The tostones came out perfectly crisp and hot. With some hot sauce they were amazing.
Not necessarily good if you want a meal, but the perfect sort of place for a snack! They don’t take cash, but everything is very inexpensive.

I love this place! It looks scary on the outside because of all the bars on the windows because it’s in a bad area, but if you can get past that, it’s a really good place to go to. It has food for really really really cheap, and it’s super yummy. They don’t have many flavors of icecream, but hey for 2.15 for a big cone is not too shabby. Definitely one of my favorite cafeteria’s in Little Havana. They don’t accept credit cards, so make sure you have cash on you when you go.

looks scary from the outside, barred up windows, small window countertop and outside benches
serves some food and has only 1 or 2 flavors of ice cream
but i braved trying a pina batido con helado and it was tasty.
little bits of pineapple! the fruta bomba wasn’t as good
