No service, had to get my own water. They do not allow add ons or substitutions for salads.

Got a recommendation from a local and was super glad that I did. The sandwiches are excellent and the Cuban coffee was delicious. I also love their minimalist approach to serving everything. Very environmentally conscious. I'm from Ohio but wish that I had a Buchi locally. I'll be back on my next trip to CO.

I'm Brazilian and I got married in Colorado and at lunch time we stopped at this restaurant and it was a great experience. Home style food, very tasty and the hospitality of the owner and her son were very friendly! Highly recommended.

Way overpriced for Cuban food. $8 for 1 empanada. $14-16 per sandwich. Food is pretty decent but at these prices it’s not worth it

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Leadville! The sandwiches are delicious, the empanadas are tasty, and my kids loved the beans and rice! My favorite is the pan con lechon. The people who run this cafe are so friendly, too!

Man oh man was this food good! I had the Cuban sandwich and the Shoyu Ramen. The Cuban was perfect, crunchy, cheesy, meaty goodness. That bread is to die for! The ramen- wow was I shocked at how good it was! Noodles were chewy, broth had fresh mushrooms, and the pork melted in my mouth. The egg was perfection! What a great addition to the food scene in Leadville. Support this local business because their food is phenomenal!

Incredible breakfast sandwiches on home made bread, fresh and delicious ingredients. A good vibe with indoor, covered outdoor, and outdoor seating. Perfect for skijoring weekend! The front desk guy was so polite.

Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday. Front of the restaurant is a little rough but the inside is comfortable. Service very quick and friendly. I started with the Cafe con Leche which was very nice. My wife and I both had their cubano mix sandwich which was a classic cubano with pork, ham, pickles and mustard pressed in a panini. The sandwich was excellent—the ham and pork providing a nice mix. If I was making it I might go with a bit more tangy pickle and a little bit more mustard or a bit spicier mustard but that is probably my personal preference. Bread was very nice and cooked to a good crisp. Overall an excellent lunch choice and who expects a good cubano in Leadville.

Small, but lovely restaurants in downtown Leadville. I got their Aye Conyo with a Buchi Colada. Sat down and enjoyed half the delicious sandwich and took the rest to go. I stopped in a couple of times while staying out in Twin Lakes and will definitely stop in when I need a quick full meal.

If you’re Cuban and you happen to be in Leadville, I’d recommend eating here. Even if your not Cuban I’d recommend it. Good chow, straight forward but tasty in a good space. Staff was attentive and I’d eat here again.

Ordered the Aye Conyo... it's now one of my favorite sandwiches! Will be making an effort to swing by anytime we're in Leadville, CO!

Great food but overpriced. The avocado salad is $9 for 1/2 of a sliced avocado with some dressing. Empanada also small and overpriced. And I wish they wouldn’t use styrofoam.

Coffee was really good (I had cafe con leche with less sugar) and the panini sandwiches were delicious. Great service.

I was apprehensive to come here after reading the reviews, but decided to give it a try. It says online you can add lettuce or tomato to any sandwich. I wanted to add both, but asked if the lettuce could be on the side. I was told no. Then I asked if the lettuce could be put on after it’s pressed so it wouldn’t get hot and soggy, and I was also told no. She actually said to me that the lettuce was definitely “going to be warm and soggy.” So I said no thanks to the lettuce. The sandwich by itself was $15 (no side or chips or anything) and upon getting my receipt I see I was charged $2 for adding the tomato. If you’re going to upcharge for something, let the customer know beforehand. I definitely would not have paid an extra $2 for a few slices of tomato (especially since I asked to remove an ingredient—onion—from the original sandwich). The sandwich tasted good, but unfortunately the poor customer service and price gauging made my review go from 5-stars to 2-stars.

Great place to stop by for lunch. The sandwiches are pretty good & very filling. I love that they have a vegetarian option. Drinks are awesome too. Highly recommend this place!
