Cortaditos
Cortaditos on Washington Avenue in Belleville is just a few minutes north of Forest Hill. The welcoming staff brew strong Cuban-style espresso drinks that give the cafe its name. The menu also includes breakfast sandwiches and light bites, so it works for a quick stop any time of day.
I always notice the display case filled with guava pastries and tres leches cake. Many locals grab coffee and sweets to go thanks to the convenient parking right out front. It’s an easy spot to pick up a cortadito and a treat without traveling far.
