The Best Cuban Sandwich Spots In St. Pete
We know the first few places people recommend when getting a Cuban sandwich are going to be in Tampa. But let’s just focus on St. Pete for a second. If you’re in Pinellas and don’t feel like making the trip across the bridge, here are the best cuban sandwich spots in St. Pete, according to locals.
The locals of the St. PetersbugFL Reddit thread came together to answer a simple question: Best Cuban sandwich in St Pete? Before we get to their answers, we have to tell you about this Cuban sandwich festival happening this weekend (July 28) in Tampa. This free event will attempt to make the longest cuban sandwich in the WORLD! 350 feet of deliciousness will then be donated to a local homeless shelter to feed over 700 people.

When you think of your go-to Cuban sandwich spot, many will automatically think of the spots in Tampa. Flan Factory and La Segunda are known to have the best cuban sandwich in Tampa. With Flan Factory actually being voted the best in 2023. However, a lot of local restaurants buy authentic cuban bread from La Segunda for their sandwiches, so I always tell people to try them first!

With so many options to choose from, these are the places locals recommend for a good Cuban sandwich in St. Pete:
- The Floridian – This was probably the most-suggested spot on the reddit thread. This little sandwich shop on Treasure Island has been around for decades and is definitely a fan favorite for the locals. Their reviews on Yelp are pretty similar to what people were saying on Reddit.
- Bodega – This Downtown St. Pete gem was a close tie with The Floridian. Located at 1180 Central Avenue in St. Pete. The only issue is their Cuban Sandwich doesn’t have salami, which is a deal breaker for some people.
- Pipos – With a few locations around Pinellas and one in Hillsborough this is definitely a good spot to check out. Pipos make’s their Cuban with slow cooked mojo pork and served on legit Cuban bread.
- The Galley – If your in Downtown St. Pete, this underrated spot has some amazing food! Their Cuban is made with bread from La Segunda so you know it’s legit!
