The who: Vegan Cuban Cuisine (VCC) 

The where: Miami, FL 

The vibe: Sabor, cultura, y plantas — authentic Cuban flavors with a plant-based twist

For Liz, the founder of Vegan Cuban Cuisine, food is all about tradition, family and connection. While standard Cuban cooking relies heavily on meat-based ingredients, Liz and her team wanted to preserve the heritage without sacrificing the flavor. They set out to recreate iconic Miami staples — from vegan croquetas and classic Cubano sandwiches to fresh cafecito and indulgent flan — using 100% plant-based protein alternatives.

What started in 2018 as a small meal delivery service and a staple at local farmers markets quickly exploded in popularity. By 2020, VCC opened its first brick-and-mortar storefront. To match their vibrant culinary identity and protect their signature products, they turned to StickerYou as their ultimate one-stop branding shop

The Challenge: Balancing Rapid Growth with Premium Branding

Running a high-traffic Miami restaurant requires balancing speed with presentation. As VCC expanded into a full-scale dining experience, and a robust take-out and catering business, they needed a branding solution that could keep up. Their goals were clear: they needed labels that could withstand moisture from cold drinks, eco-conscious packaging that aligned with their plant-based values and eye-catching signage to draw in local street traffic — all delivered quickly to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.

The StickerYou Solution

Vegan Cuban Cuisine transformed their physical storefront and their packaging using a diverse suite of custom stickers, creating an interactive, Instagram-worthy experience for their customers. Here’s how they did it:

1. Clear Roll Labels & Eco-Safe Semi-Gloss Labels

To handle their bustling beverage and take-out service, VCC uses high-performance Clear Roll Labels on their iced coffee and drink cups, letting their specialty drinks show through the branding. For their bakery boxes and dessert containers, they use Eco-Safe Semi-Gloss Labels. These seal everything from flaky pastries to premium vegan flans securely, reflecting the brand's commitment to high quality and planet-friendly alternatives.

2. Wall Decals & Door Signs

First impressions start at the entrance. VCC utilizes custom Wall Decals and high-precision Door Stickers to welcome guests into their tropical, modern space. From a bold, clean logo decal directly on their front glass doors to informational interior signage, these elements create a polished, inviting storefront that stands out to anyone passing by.

3. Custom Vinyl Stickers

Beyond standard packaging, VCC turned their branding into a takeaway experience with Custom Vinyl Stickers. They print beautifully detailed designs highlighting their menu items — like their famous “ham” croqueta — as well as cultural icons like traditional Cuban singer Celia Cruz, whose mural adorns their dining room. Placed right by the register, these stickers have become a favorite collectible for customers. Guests place them on laptops or share photos of them on Instagram, turning a simple sticker into a powerful, community-driven marketing tool.

The Result: Flavor, Culture, and Packaging with a Purpose

By choosing StickerYou’s versatile customization platform, Vegan Cuban Cuisine successfully elevated their brand from a local market favorite into a premium Miami dining destination. The combination of rapid delivery, vibrant color accuracy and material durability allowed Liz to focus on what matters most: serving delicious, planet-friendly food.
