HavanaBama – All The Cubanity You’ll Ever Need

UPDATE: 10/27/2020 – COMMENTS CLOSED – WE HAVE A WINNER! 

Congratulations to Jacqueline M. Cinnante, the winner of the HAVANAbama Tacita Package.

Please send me an email with your mailing address so we can get your HAVANAbama goodies out to you ASAP! Congratulations! 

Thank you all for your great ideas. Christmas is coming. I’m making my list right now! 

Please do yourself a favor and follow @havanabamacafe on Instagram and also bookmark the HAVANAbama shop.

***************************************************************

One of my very favorite things to do is to find Cuban vendors who truly represent us well. Or as I like to say, they “bring the Cubanity.” 

Which is why I’m so excited today to share HAVANAbama with you. They’re a family owned, mom and pop shop located in North Alabama. They’re bringing a genuine taste of Cubanity to Alabama with their Traveling Ventanita and online shop. I’m so super proud of all that they’re doing. 

This is exactly the kind of stuff I’m passionate about: supporting small Cuban businesses wherever they happen to pop up. 

Their online shop has all the things you want to really embrace your Cubanity. 

HAVANAbama made Cubanity apron and #BeLikeMarta tacita.

I’m super excited to share today’s 11th MBFCF Fourteen Years in the Blogosphere Giveaway of 2020 sponsored by HAVANAbama.

    “I like HAVANAbamaCafe!”
    I am married to a cuban and love all the items. The candles, the wax melts everything. I love learning new things and since I am puerto Rican the flavors, the colors, the life are similar so we blend so well. He loves his cafe con leche. I couldn’t ask for a better culture. God bless you.

  14. Justin Clark says

    I like Havanabamacafe!!

    I would get ponte las pilas or “y tu dieta?” because I’m forever saying that to myself while dreaming of pastellitos.

  15. Sarah Artis says

    Ayyyyy, Dios mío! So many fun sayings to choose from. Claro que #BeLikeMarta y #OhTheCubanity is on the top of my list!

    I’ve gotten several tacitas from Havanabama but my favorite ones have to be my “Cali Cubanita” custom ones! ❤

  28. Arlene says

    You make is proud Marta!!! We’re blessed to have you share the “Cubanity” with the world!!! Bravo mi hermana! ?❤️??

  31. Odalis says

    I like Habanamaba Cafe!! And next to my Tacita de café I would put the Pan Cubano Candle!! It reminds me of my sweet treat growing up ( un pedazo de pan cubano calientico echarle cafecito por arriba y después rociarle azúcar por arriba) se me hace la boca agua!!

  32. Wendy says

    Felicidades!!!
    I like HAVANAbama Cafe! I’ve seen their store before but never gotten anything. I love their mal se ojo. I have one that’s all beaded, but I like the simplicity of theirs. I also liked their “ I’m here for the croquetas,” but mine would have to read “I’m here for the croquetas de jamon” LOL. Love you Marta! Keep the cubanity going!

  33. Karina presti says

    I don’t live in Alabama but definitely love their page! And ps course I would love to put un café cubano in my tazita! I really would love to win this!

  34. Thelma Chattey says

  35. Bohemian Babushka says

    BB ADORA their stuff, their humor and their owner. Puro encanto! Have ordered cositas from there and look forward to doing so again! This tacita would be “Despiertate” for the win. Gracias for the giveaway.

  39. Carrie says

    Again, thank you for including us on to your giveaway. Would like the tacita that says the one with Cafecito & Chill because we all NEED it these days! Thank you! ??

  42. Rebekah López says

    As a Miami girl and with my Cubanity
    I would put Cafecito con pastelitos!
    ???
    “I like HAVANAbamaCafe!” It’s cute and original!

    • Alina Reich says

      My tacita would say, “#Cafecito just like Mama’s”. Mama was my beloved grandmother that was the best cook ever!!

  45. Natalie Lorenzo says

    These tacitas are too cute! I would like the tacita to say “ponte las pilas” because that Cuban coffee definitely gives us that energy to keep going in the morning! I love HAVANAbama cafe❤️??

  46. Victor Montecerin says

    Will definitely be ordering from HAVANAbama!

    I would put “Con Espumita!” on my tacita!

    Or “Pa’lante, marea” for the Alabama connection (Roll Tide)…

  48. Faustino Rodriguez says

    I love “Oh, the Cubanity” tacitas. I will use them with my favorite Cuban coffee brand La Llave of course.
    Marta the dictionary should add “cubanity” as a real word. I have been using it since I saw it on your blog.

  55. Isa says
