Yes! I've Bought A Few Coladas In My Day

Cuban bakeries sell Cuban pastries, Cuban bread, and Cuban coffee.  That's what they do and that's what they are in Miami.  I can hardly imagine what your blood pressure would be if you drank Cuban coffee like some folks drink American coffee.

Pinecrest Bakeries got into a jam with the Starbucks on the other side of the strip mall because they expresso coffee and cafe con leche which was in violation of their lease agreement with the strip mall owner that gave Starbuck's an "exclusive", in serving expresso and expressoes mixed with milk.

The judge told Pinecrest to ditch their expresso machine because they were only allowed to serve "American" coffee at their bakery, according to their lease agreement.

If I had been the owner of a Cuban bakery like Pinecrest I would never have signed such a lease. If I was Starbuck's I would never have tried to enforce such a condition on a Cuban bakery.

Yes the Cuban bakery ditched the expresso machine but the response on social media was immediate.  Folks started an unlike campaign that caused at least that Starbuck's to raise the white flag.
