Yiya's on 79 Street

Gourmet Cuban bakery on the 79th Street Causeway.

What we had:

We've been here for both breakfast and lunch. The breakfast sandwiches (we had eggs, cheese and ham or bacon on Cuban bread) were great--really fluffy eggs, a good balance of pork and cheese on a fresh, slightly chewy Cuban roll. What's not to like? And at $4 with the best cafe cubano I've had, a great deal.

The Cuban sandwiches are good, too. I still think Latin American Cafe is my favorite cuban, though. Yiya's bread is better quality, the cheese and pork are even, but Latin's ham quality is better.


Décor:

Cute. Small but comfy and cute, and with Food Network on both times I went.


Service:

Good.


Overall impressions:

Must go back for more.
