Cafe Artemisa

Cafe Artemisa is a Cuban restaurant on N Manhattan Ave in Tampa, serving traditional food in a warm and welcoming setting. The menu draws on the culinary traditions of Cuba, with familiar comfort dishes, pressed sandwiches, rice and bean plates, yuca, plantains, beef, chicken and milkshakes. Portions are described as generous, while the pricing is presented as fair for the amount of food served.

Sandwiches are central to the cafe’s identity. The traditional Cuban combines classic fillings with Cuban bread, while the media noche uses a softer, sweeter brioche-style roll before being pressed. The two sandwiches offer different textures and bread styles, making the distinction useful for diners choosing between a more savoury bread and a slightly sweet one. Other menu items include fried cassava, roast chicken with yellow rice and red beans, beef with white rice and red beans, and plantain dishes served with beef and rice.

The atmosphere is relaxed and homey, supported by friendly service that helps the cafe feel approachable for casual meals. Staff are described as welcoming, and the dining experience focuses on hearty servings, familiar flavours and straightforward hospitality rather than formality. The menu’s range gives diners options beyond sandwiches, including filling plates and refreshing milkshakes.

Cafe Artemisa suits diners looking for traditional Cuban food, substantial portions and a friendly place for an uncomplicated meal. It can work for a quick sandwich, a more filling plate or a casual gathering around generously served food. The location is at 6807 N Manhattan Ave, Tampa, Florida 33614.
