Cafecito is a Cuban coffee cafe and restaurant in downtown Chicago offering a separate vegan menu with a variety of sandwiches and platters made from ingredients like Beyond Meat and Just Egg. The interior is cozy and somewhat dark, reminiscent of a Cuban pub, with outdoor seating available. Reviews highlight the tasty food, especially vegan sandwiches, along with good coffee options and affordable prices, though some mention occasional slow service and a notable issue with mislabeled vegan items containing buttered bread.
