A bastion at the top of Cuba Street. Fidel’s is one of the most popular spots in town. Licensed and serving from the menu for breakfast and all the way through, Fidel’s has some of the best counter food in town as well as a full lunch and dinner menu. Part of the Havana family, Havana coffee comes fresh from the roastery just around the corner. A summer sun-trap, the front courtyard is an ideal spot to lose time

This business has five Badges from www.consciousconsumers.org.nz, including BYO Cup

The staff think they are ‘ubber cool’. Really put me off this place which is a shame as the coffee and food are amazing… just a shame the staff are so aloof!

A nice cafe near my work. I like coming here for my afternoon coffee and cigarette. The outside areas are full of groovy decor, seems to be a catch for the younger crowd. Great coffee and an amazing a custard and berry brioche they have! However i thought the cabinet food lacked freshness. The staff is there biggest let down, the are rather aloof and didn’t seem to care much about customer service, more just doing there job.
Dispite that i recommend it

Great food especially their burgers and plenty of it. Only complaint is their service – you have to find your own! Would be useful if you knew whether to order at the counter or not. Then the food takes some time to come.

Always good. Quick service, large tasty brunches. Fantastic coffee. Toilet a bit cheap for the food prices but even so food is really really delicious! Inside and outdoor seating options which is nice.

Great place for brunch, dinner or just hanging out for coffee and dessert! Love the decor inside, with the large outdoor dining area! Check out the beer & pizza deals, or their dessert offerings… to die for!

Fidel’s is a fantastic hang out spot. We love the atmosphere and the food is always fresh and delicious. Only complaint would be that the service is usually pretty slow.

I’ve been going to Fidel’s for years. The coffee (Havana) is always top quality and the food usually good. This morning, six of us had brunch. We were thrilled to get table service – usually we join the queue at the counter. Three of us had hard poached eggs arrive, but the rest of our meals were enjoyable. A great selection of generously-sized counter food is always available, too.

The food here is usually excellent. This includes both the menu and their cabinet food. There are vege and vegan options available. Fidel’s serve Havana coffee which is a decent strong coffee but tastes weak when served in a bowl size.

The problem I have with Fidel’s is their client focus. there are only about 10 tables for the inside, while their “outside” area have about the same if not more. Increasing the non smoking area would benefit this please immensely.

Great place to have a coffee with alternate atmospheres to enjoy:

Out the side in the sun, out the back in a funky covered area or inside on a booth or table.

I love the food especially the brunches.

Can be VERY VERY busy which results in uncomfortable queues where the staff have to push through you constantly to deliver their orders and you are unable to find a table once you have ordered.

Beware – the back area is quite smoky at times.
