Coffee
through
the window.
A Cuban coffee window and kitchen. Colada at 6:30am, pastelitos out of the oven at 7, pan con bistec until we run out.
Three things we do well
Coffee
Colada, cortadito, café con leche. Pulled to order, never sitting on a burner.
Pastelitos
Guava and cheese, laminated here every morning. Sold out by eleven most days.
Sandwiches
Pan con bistec, media noche, croqueta preparada. Pressed on the plancha.
The window never closed.
Rosa opened Ventana with one espresso machine and a hand-painted sign. The dining room came later. The window is still where most of the neighborhood orders.

One machine,
one sign,
one window.
Rosa Betancourt spent eleven years running someone else's counter before she found the narrow storefront on NE 2nd. It had a window onto the sidewalk, which was the whole reason she signed the lease. She painted the sign herself over a weekend in August 2016.
For the first two years there were no tables. People ordered on the sidewalk, drank standing up, and went to work. When the space next door came open we took it, put in eight seats, and kept the window exactly as it was. It still does more business than the register inside.
2016
Rosa signs the lease and paints the sign.
2019
Eight seats added next door. Window stays.
2024
Rosa's son Ariel takes over the bakery shift.
