Fidel's Cafe has a rich history that dates back to 1992 when it first opened as a Mexican Cafe called Little Gringo's. Despite initial skepticism, Fidel's quickly became a beloved spot in the community. Over the years, the venue expanded and transformed, adding outdoor seating, a larger kitchen, and even a street stall with a second coffee machine. Today, Fidel's is staffed by a team of 40 dedicated individuals who are passionate about serving Cuban coffee and good, honest food.

In addition to our culinary offerings, Fidel's has a strong connection to the local community. Back in 1997, the cafe formed a football team that joined the Sunday football league. This team, filled with talented individuals and a vibrant spirit, has achieved numerous titles and silverware over the past 16 years. We are proud to be a part of this legendary team and continue to support the glorious game.
