La Ventanita is the legendary walk-up window attached to Versailles restaurant on Calle 8, a genuine Miami cultural institution since 1971 where the Cuban community gathers for coffee, pastries, and dominoes. Must-orders are the cortadito or cafecito, melt-in-your-mouth croquetas, and the pastelito de guayaba y queso. It draws crowds — this is a popular, busy spot, so expect company and a quick-service, standing-or-bar-seating setup rather than a sit-down experience.
