Falling in love with a Country, a culture and
a way of life.
It's not hard to understand why Coco Cubano's creators Tony and Avril Melhem fell in love with Latin America's most electric and unique nation. The secret was in capturing what makes Cuba's culture, coffee, rum, cocktails and cigars so unique, and bringing this experience to Australia. Today, they help reveal the culture that spawned salsa and mambo, psychedelic Che Guevara posters, Bacardi and Havana Club rum, and Cohiba cigars.

The Cuban inspiration

There is no denying that Australians have an appreciation for coffee, but no one can do the coffee culture as well as Cubans. Taking the best in European cafés and bars, and blending with the casual, indulgent charm of Cuba - Tony and Avril Melhem created an experience like no other.

Coco Cubano offers you a relaxing, comfortable, rich and redolent place to enjoy for an hour, or a day. To enjoy a Hemmingway Mojito… or two.

Coco Cubano was born to celebrate Cuba’s delicious contradictions – celebrating the Country’s persistence to always go against the grain. The blend of its historical make-up, its dynamism and its intrinsic beauty. From sprawling colonial mansions, to vibrant street music.  

Coco Cubano takes the best of Cuba, mixing hedonistic espresso, chocolate, cocktails and food to bring the experience to life. The café and bar takes the creation of pleasurable and comfortable environments seriously and blends with the best in customer service and delivery.

Through sourcing coffee beans from the world’s finest plantations in Cuba, Colombia and Brazil, Coco Cubano has created a world-class range of delicious espresso.  The signature chocolate drink - - the 'Plantation 1748' – was designed from 100% single origin Cuban dark couverture chocolate made from handpicked organic cocoa.

Between 1920 and 1933 Cuba was an unheralded preserve for Prohibition-era drinks and was home to the hordes of thirsty Americans that flocked south. Hundreds of famous cocktails were born. Coco Cubano is keeping the dark heart of Cuban cocktails alive, serving specialty signature Mojito cocktails and Latin American wines.

To complete the Cuban experience, Coco Cubano has sourced the finest hand rolled premium Cuban cigars.

The Coco Cubano team are proud to call themselves revolucionaries. Coco Cubano is transforming the way Australians see café / bars, and are opening our eyes to the unique blend of quality, taste, service and delivery.

Viva la revolución!
