Cuban Café Is Opening New Location In Newark

NEWARK, NJ — Cortaditos Coffee is opening a new café in Newark this week, which will be its seventh in New Jersey.

The newest location of the specialty Cuban café and fast-casual eatery will be located at 91 Halsey Street in Newark. A ribbon cutting event is scheduled for Friday, May 1.

The Cortaditos website offers some background about the business and its founders:

“Cortaditos was founded by two Cuban American entrepreneurs, who came together under the pretexts of social impact and passion for their Cuban roots – literally. Adam San Miguel, American-born to Cuban parents, founded a nonprofit organization that supports Cuban American college students with scholarships and leadership development programs. Andres Carrillo, who immigrated from Cuba at the age of 25, founded Sweets & Cortaditos, a local bakery cafe with his family. Andres would donate the appetizers, coffee, and desserts for Adam’s nonprofit scholarship Galas. And that is where the partnership formed, at the intersection of social good and Cuban culture.”

Other New Jersey locations include Belleville, Harrison, Jersey City, North Bergen, Union City and the American Dream complex in East Rutherford.
