The Café El Escorial is a place where the Cubans like to spend the afternoon by watching the busies square of the city from the terrace of the restored colonial mansion. Its covered terrace is an oasis for the tourists that escape from the burning sun. The theme of the place is coffee; they serve as well as over 20 varieties of coffee. They also serve coffee cocktails, made of coffee with all kind of Cuban rums and other liquors, such as coffee frappé, coffee liquor and even daiquirí de café. It is strictly recommended to taste Fariseo (coffee with rum) there that may cause addiction. Do not forget also to taste any of the chocolate cakes and the coffee ice cream. All the coffee beans are from the Escambray mountains. Freshly roasted coffee beans are also available for purchase.
