Carmen's Cafe was named Best Kept Secret in Metroland Magazine's Best Of Issue. http://ow.ly/ixH0j

Carmen's Café was founded with the idea that people need an easy, attractive place to gather; fresh, tasty wholesome food at reasonable prices; and interesting art, ideas and entertainment to feed their bodies and souls.

We enjoy the fine art of conversation and delight in our customers making new friends, trading the latest about their lives, and finding jobs, apartments, or new things to do.

We get a kick out of offering new tapas recipes or sangria blends.

We like to eat here ourselves to meet and greet new friends and old, and we wouldn't open our doors if we didn't.

Carmen is Cuban-Puerto Rican. She cooks the food she grew up with, what she tasted while visiting relatives and friends in Spain and on the Islands. It's a mix of Cuban, Spanish, American and more. We cook it all fresh with healthy ingredients. We always have vegetarian options-- call about out nondairy and gluten free foods.

Join us Friday nights for Tapas, Spanish style-- it's not about a string of appetizers, it's about small tastes that make a meal. You can spend less and still be satisfied, or dazzle your palate with a dozen bites!
