90 Miles Cuban Café

Blink, and you might miss this cigar-box-sized Cuban carryout spot tucked away off a dusty strip of Clybourn Avenue. That would be a shame, especially if you’re looking for a morning pick-me-up. Potent café con leche and cortaditos are the perfect pair with guava and cream cheese pastries, best enjoyed at one of the counter stools while waiting on a lunch order for later. Best bets include the meaty Cuban sandwich or the guajirito, essentially a Puerto Rican jibarito that piles marinated nickel-thin steak, grilled onions and cheese onto crispy green plantains.
