The flan recipe that built Niaddi Foods’ name used to ship out of Zephyrhills. The retail storefront for it now sits on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Dade City instead. Cuban Grounds Cafe is the brick-and-mortar home for two related brands under one roof — Niaddi Foods and Cuban Grounds Coffee — built mainly to showcase and sell what the company already makes for wider distribution.
The menu centers on a Cuban sandwich made with scratch-made roast pork and melted Swiss, plus croquetas, tamales, a Cuban waffle, a croqueta sandwich and pan con queso. The dessert case is the real draw: Niaddi’s own flan, a Basque cheesecake and a key lime pie the company itself calls award-winning — we’re taking that at the brand’s word, since no independent award listing turned up in a search. The coffee program runs on Cuban espresso, cafe con leche and house-roasted beans.
One honest gap: neither the menu breadth nor pricing is posted in full online as of this writing, and there’s little published detail about seating or atmosphere — this reads as a small, counter-service retail cafe built to sell packaged Niaddi and Cuban Grounds product as much as serve a sit-down meal, not a full dining room. Call ahead if you’re planning around a specific item.
