The 20 Best Sandwiches In 20 Brooklyn Neighborhoods

 Fort Greene: Cafe Habana’s Guacamole con Queso Sandwich

Part of what makes a good sandwich is contrast, especially in textures. No one wants to eat a mushy sandwich; there needs to be a crispy and a creamy component for it to work. Enter Cafe Habana’s Guacamole con Queso sandwich. While Cafe Habana is rightly renowned for its Cubano sandwich, we’re partial to this vegetarian version which matches creamy avocado with mild queso fresco, fresh lettuce and tomato and zingy chipotle mayonnaise. Now all of these ingredients are already pretty great, but this sandwich is really all about the bread. Crispy and buttery, the bread is the real star here, complementing all the soft, mild textures and giving this sandwich a well-deserved spot in this best of Brooklyn list.
