WE ARE COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

​

We are dedicated to reducing our ecological footprint by operating a plastic-free facility, composting organic waste, and carefully selecting ingredients that benefit both our customers and the environment. 

 

Why We’re Different​

​

We believe that food should be both delicious and aligned with our commitment to sustainability and health. Here are some key things that set us apart:

 

House-made Bread: We bake our bread in-house using olive oil instead of lard, offering a healthier and plant-based alternative while keeping the rich, authentic flavors.

• Olive Oil for Cooking: Unlike many traditional Cuban recipes that use other fats, we use olive oil for all our cooking, making our dishes healthier without compromising on taste.

• Dedicated Gluten-Free Fryer: VCC is proud to be one of the few restaurants in our area to offer a dedicated gluten-free fryer, ensuring that customers with gluten sensitivities can dine safely and confidently with us.

• Specialty Espresso Beans: We brew our coffees using specialty espresso beans, giving our beverages a rich and bold flavor that pairs perfectly with our plant-based desserts.

• Natural Sweeteners: We sweeten our drinks and smoothies using natural sweeteners like agave, maple syrup, and dates, offering a healthier alternative to refined sugars.

OUR STORY

​​

Vegan Cuban Cuisine is a family-owned restaurant that was born out of a passion for authentic Cuban flavors but with a plant-based twist. Starting from humble beginnings in 2018, delivering meals and selling at farmers markets, we have now established our first brick-and-mortar location in Sunset.

 

Since day one, composting and being eco-conscious has been at the heart of everything we do. This dedication to sustainability has only grown as our restaurant has expanded, ensuring that our operations reflect the environmental values of our community.

 

Our first recipe was a revelation at a family gathering when non-vegans couldn’t distinguish between our plant-based Cuban dish and its traditional counterpart. That moment sparked the creation of Vegan Cuban Cuisine, and we’ve been on a mission ever since to bring the best plant-based Cuban food to the Miami community while staying committed to the health of our planet.
