Old Havana bar and boutique hybrid on Calle Aguiar, serving tapas and cocktails alongside a fashion workshop for designer Loypa Yzaguirre. Small in-house fashion parades showcase her bold, colorful womenswear.
Best for In-house fashion parades showcasing designer Loypa Yzaguirre's bold, color-forward womenswear
Color Café operates as two businesses under one roof on Calle Aguiar in Old Havana: a tapas bar at the front, and Loypa Yzaguirre's fashion workshop and boutique at the back. The bar's menu mixes French, Spanish, and Cuban small plates, including quiches, Serrano ham toast, and ceviche toast, alongside a cocktail list built on classics and house creations, including a rum-ginger-tonic 'marilou' and a melon-mint 'rosa plizzz.'
The fashion side runs small, informal parades through the bar space itself, with models wearing Yzaguirre's designs, described as bold and summery in color, moving through the same room where customers are drinking and eating. So far the boutique has stocked womenswear only, though the business has signaled interest in expanding into menswear if demand continues.
On weekends, the bar brings in guest DJs, adding a nightlife layer on top of its tapas-and-fashion-show format. The combination — bar, boutique, and runway sharing one space — makes Color Café function less like a conventional shop and more like a small, recurring fashion event with food and drink built around it.

Dador runs both an online shop and a walk-in retail store in Havana Vieja, at Calle Amargura #253 between Habana and Compostela, open daily from 11am to 6pm. The Cuban brand describes itself as a responsible fashion and lifestyle label built around local development and female empowerment, framing its business explicitly around providing secure jobs, professional training and a support network for entrepreneurial Cuban women rather than treating "Made in Cuba" as a marketing label alone. Its collections run through dresses, jumpsuits, pants, shirtdresses, shirts, skirts, tops and accessories, with recent releases built around 100% linen pieces in its Malecón collection. Beyond ready-to-wear sizing, Dador offers made-to-measure tailoring: customers can visit the Havana store for an in-person fitting, or submit their own measurements online following the brand's detailed self-measurement guide for made-to-order pieces. The brand also publishes lifestyle content tied to its collections - travel journals from Cuba, notes on its design process - through a blog integrated into its site. For visitors to Havana Vieja, Dador functions as both a retail stop and a walk-in tailoring service, with staff taking measurements on-site for custom orders rather than requiring garments to be shipped back and forth.
