After the March Race to the Rocker 4-mile run, my mom and I enjoyed lunch at the Back in the Day Cafe with a Cuba native named Jane. Jane had offered to give us a tour of Cuba’s fantastic murals, but first, we needed lunch. Back the Day Cafe sits in one of the Cuba Historic Preservation Commission’s official historic buildings.
Immediately inside the restaurant door sits a long, pink buffet used for Sunday brunch. Behind it is one of Cuba’s unofficial murals depicting a young girl, an adult farmer, and rolling Missouri farmland.
On the opposite side of the cafe is another large mural depicting women making bread and cake:
The cafe serves soups, sandwiches, bakery items, sodas, coffee and teas. I’m not sure exactly what the Sunday brunch or lunch options are, but if the sandwich and fruit bowl I ordered are any indication, the other meals at the Cafe probably taste good and are reasonably priced.
The Back in the Day Cafe is located at 615 East Main Street in Cuba, Missouri and can be reached by phone at 573-885-0122.

That was a wonderful day. I am always amazed when you take me to places that I’ve never seen, some of which I’ve never known existed! Thanks again for including me in your day. The murals were fascinating, the food was delightful, and Jane was so knowledgeable about the city and its art. Only one question…what are we doing next?
I just love this site!:)
