Blue Heaven is a renowned dining spot in Key West, known for its iconic Floridian-Caribbean cuisine and delectable key lime pie. The restaurant boasts a funky setting in a shady backyard, offering classic cooking and flavors. It's one of the top 10 restaurants noted by Conde Nast Traveler, alongside other unique dining establishments in the area.
Really neat and eclectic place to eat! The food was delicious, and albeit very expensive, you could tell they emphasized food quality and prioritized organic, local, and farm to table produce and food. Their key lime pie was also very delicious. There are free range chickens roaming around and live music playing. It’s loud, but definitely a really cool experience. I don’t think I’ve eaten at a place quite like it. It feels like a haven inside key west.

If you’re in Key West, Blue Heaven absolutely lives up to its name — it’s a little slice of paradise on a plate! We went for Sunday lunch while on vacation, and even though the place was super busy (we waited about 1 hour and 20 minutes), it was totally worth the wait. The vibe is pure Key West — open-air, al fresco dining, colorful decor, chickens wandering around, and live music adding to the laid-back island feel. I ordered the Surf and Turf Benedict, which features Filet Mignon and Lobster — and wow, it was phenomenally good. Perfectly cooked, rich, and absolutely unique. My friends’ dishes were just as amazing: the BLT Benedict (where the “L” stands for Lobster) and a Shrimp Omelette that was loaded and flavorful. Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying their famous Key Lime Pie, and it did not disappoint. Tangy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet — easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Whether you’re a foodie or just want the quintessential Key West experience, Blue Heaven is a must-visit. I’d recommend it to anyone heading to the island — just go early, be patient, and enjoy the tropical atmosphere while you wait.

As always a fun and amazing place! Breakfast was amazing on a Saturday! My crew and I got there nice and early just a little after open and walked right in. Certainly filled shortly after. Still all good because they open the bar across the street to get your vitamin c on. Most of us got the Lobster grits and BLT Benedicts which were delicious! Service was amazing!

Numerous recommendations and hype for Blue Heaven. Did it live up to my expectations? Absolutely! We arrived at 11 am and had a 15 minute wait. We had our 2 pups with us and had a bowl of water immediately provided to them. If your dog has issues with roosters/chickens, it may be a challenge but worked out well for us. Let’s just say our plates were returned empty and no take out boxes. I had a chicken salad sandwich with a side of potatoes (some of the best I have had), some fruit and a limeade. My wife had shrimp and grits, banana bread and some fruit. And to finish it off, some key lime pie, of course. Staff were great and watched the hostess skillfully handle an obnoxious whiner. Will definitely eat here again and recommend to friends and family.

Wonferful afternoon at Blue Heaven! Christy at the bar was friendly and very welcoming.. She pours the perfect cocktail!! After a short wait we were taken to our table. The garden and fresh air were just what we needed after our short flight from.Orlando. Jake presented us with menus and promptly provided the daily specials. Our food was really delicious and fresh. We ordered the daily special and the lobster Benedict. The flavors are unmatched anywhere in the Keys. We enjoyed bloody Mary cocktails while the band, Tequila Sunrise entertained. Our service was flawless. The roosters provided the Key West charm.we have come accustomed to over the past 20 years. We will return.

This is a very unique, Key West-esq place that is a lot of fun to be at. Unique foods, decor, and facility as well as great people. We had and awesome breakfast and still topped it off with a slice of their amazing Key Lime Pie. As with any place on the island, parking is very limited, so be prepared to walk a bit to get there if you're driving.
Brent H — Google review
In a word, stellar. There was a one hour wait for a table for 2, but the hostess suggested if we wanted we could sit a the inside bar (first come first served). We took her suggestion and were able to sit down immediately. The bartender (Darla) greeted us quickly with menus and waters and was super friendly. I got the BLT (bacon, lobster, tomato) Benedict and my husband got the breakfast sandwich with bacon and a single pancake. The Benedict was one of the best I've ever had. Sweet lobster, savory bacon, and acidic fresh tomatoes with a perfectly poached egg and rich, creamy Hollandaise sauce. The breakfast sandwich used the same amazing bacon with a fried egg and incredible sharp white cheddar cheese that still managed to be creamy. The pancake was also very good and was served with real maple syrup. Overall an excellent breakfast.

10/10 - Grace was an amazing host, attentive, professional and funny. Had an amazing breakfast experience. Shrimp and grits and rooster special were delicious. Recommend trying the spicy sausage! The ambiance feels like your in the jungle, and the roosters/chickens running around are entertaining.

Nice little bakery on Eaton St. We were staying just up the street and enjoyed walking in for some delicious baked goods. We tried the sticky buns and raspberry croissant. 🥐 The sandwiches looked good and service very friendly

OMG!!! I’ve been here 13 years and I’ve never gone here… I have been missing out! I’m on a mission to try new things and decided to pop in on this cute little place. I ended up ordering an Italian sandwich. Let me tell you it was divine. If you’re ever in town go there I ordered dessert ( the OMG Brownie) as well and it was awesome. I think I found a new favorite spot.

This bakery had (in my opinion) the best Key Lime pie on the island. I tried enough during our vacation to know! I also bought their peach cobbler Danish. OMG! Absolute heaven. Highly recommend stopping by and checking out their goodies.

Nice local grab and go place. Danishes are delicious, curry chicken sandwich was a little dry but great flavor. Which they would matchstick cut the apples to be easier to eat. Breakfast burrito best protein option, but felt like a lot of tortilla to filling ratio. Good coffee too. Only a bench outside, so recommend taking it Togo. Would return and try the 🥐, guava pastry was super flake, wish it was bigger and had cream cheese.

Freshly made bakery items with huge breakfast sandwiches and strong coffee. The staff/ owners were lovely. I knocked over a drink, they were so sweet to clean it up, and offered to replace it. The key lime pie was a little more tart than others, as I was on a mission to try as many version of local pies as possible. We enjoyed our visit. Try walking to the shop if possible since parking is a struggle, but is worth the challenge.

Tucked away just a block from the bustling Duval Street, the Key Lime Pie Bakery in Key West is a charming gem that every dessert lover should visit. This independently owned bakery not only specializes in the classic Key lime pie but also offers an enticing variety of treats, including chocolate-dipped slices and delightful cookies. The vibrant atmosphere makes it perfect for snapping photos while enjoying your sweet indulgence on their inviting green benches outside.
Super cute spot. You can see them baking their own key lime pies which is pretty cool. Their key lime pie is tart, seems more "lime-ee" than the others I tried so if you prefer tartness, this is your place. Their coconut key lime pie was soooo good! Recommend it.
Jesi B — Google review
We ordered a key lime pie so everyone in our group could try it. The cashiers we're very nice to give us small plates, napkins, and forks. We sat in the store and ate our pie in a cool environment. Key Lime pie isn't for everyone. Its tart and rich and the "lime" comes through. Many of us enjoyed a slice and others tried a bite and that's all they could do. To each his own. This small bakery also has a small attached gift shop with many great options.

Key Lime Pie Bakery in Key West is a great stop for anyone wanting to try the city’s signature dessert. The pies are creamy, tangy, and have that perfect balance of sweetness with the tart lime flavor. They also offer other treats and products to take home, making it a nice spot for both tasting and shopping. The atmosphere is casual, and the staff is friendly, which adds to the experience. Definitely worth a visit if you’re exploring Key West and want to enjoy an authentic slice of key lime pie.

I had high expectations for this iconic Key West spot, especially for my first Key Lime Pie experience. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. The Key Lime Pie was nothing special—I was expecting something fresher and more vibrant. The Coconut Cream Pie was even more disappointing. It was mostly whipped cream, with only a sprinkle of coconut on top. Honestly, I could’ve found a similar slice at a grocery store for half the price. Overall, the food just didn’t deliver. I was hoping for something memorable, but it fell short.
Chris R — Google review
Is this the original? There's some debate. But! It is fantastic. I loved their coconut key lime pie. I will be craving it for years to come. The shop offers all kinds of key lime treats if pie isn’t your thing. I wish there was more seating, but hey, that's a really small complaint.

A must try Keys Lime Pie!!! 🥧 This version is delicious. The best I've tried so far. A balanced amount of sugar and the pleasant sour lime taste. Staff is nice and prices are average. The bakery sells many unthinkable products with Key Lime Pie flavor. 🤔 For the joy of tourists!!! Two tables and a couple of benches are the only options for those who want to enjoy tasting the pie seated on the spot hoping these aren't already busy. 🔝

The Cafe is a vibrant and colorful eatery located in Key West, offering a diverse menu that caters to various dietary preferences. The cafe is adorned with local artwork and features a corrugated-tin-fronted counter, creating a trendy and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a vegetarian, vegan, or have specific food allergies, The Cafe has something for everyone.
The owners/hosts of The Cafe are some of the warmest persons I have come across. Our group had visited twice during the week of July 4th. There are plenty of different dishes to choose from and they are able to adjust for dietary restrictions as needed. The food was freshly made and very satisfying. The juices and coffees were brilliant as well. We were so full from the main course that we could not taste the desserts. To the owners and the chef, thank you for the memorable experience and brilliant food!!

Lots of interesting dishes especially if you are vegan. I only had the opportunity to try the vegan key lime pie, as the night we planned to have dinner here it was pouring rain. The key lime was ok - I’ve had better dairy free pie before. It wasn’t creamy enough -very solid. And no gluten free crust which would have made a big difference. The service was wonderful, very friendly. The inside was beautifully decorated. But as in most key west restaurants, no a/c, at least not turned on. It’s often so hot in the key west restaurants. I would recommend though. Wish I could have tried more things!

If you’re looking for a delicious, plant-based meal in Key West, The Café is a must. We ordered the spring rolls, stir-fry noodles, veggie pizza, and carrot cake (all vegetarian/vegan-friendly), and every dish was a winner. Spring Rolls: Crisp, golden, and not at all greasy—packed with fresh vegetables and herbs. The dipping sauce was bright and balanced, adding just the right tang. Stir-Fry Noodles: Perfectly cooked noodles with great bite, tossed in a savory, well-balanced sauce. The vegetables stayed vibrant and crisp—every forkful had flavor and texture. Veggie Pizza: Generously topped and thoughtfully composed. The crust was crisp outside, tender inside, and held up beautifully under the toppings—fresh and bright, not heavy. Carrot Cake: The star of the night. Moist and warmly spiced, with silky frosting that wasn’t overly sweet. A slow-savor dessert. Service: A special shout-out to Amanda, who was outstanding from start to finish. She listened carefully to our dietary preferences, clarified ingredients, and guided us to exactly what we’d love. Attentive without hovering—spot on. Kudos to the Chef: The taste across the board was awesome. You can feel the chef’s touch in the details—clean, balanced flavors; consistent seasoning; perfect textures (that wok-kissed noodle finish, those ultra-crisp rolls, and the beautifully spiced cake). Compliments to the kitchen team for executing everything so well. Ambience & Overall: Relaxed, welcoming, and unpretentious—ideal for a casual dinner that still feels special. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the menu offers plenty of meat-free variety without sacrificing flavor or creativity. Bottom line: Fantastic plant-based options (don’t miss the spring rolls and carrot cake), stellar service from Amanda, and chef-driven flavors that shine. We’ll be back—and we’ll be asking for Amanda again.

Love love love this place ! Finding a place with a ton of vegetarian options was a bliss !Everything we had was amazing ! Spring rolls - definitely try it ! It’s tastes much better than any other place The healthy chickpea and bean salad with tahini and blackened tofu on side was delicious ! Tofu was so soft and just melted in mouth . Tried Kombucha - had a different taste ! Stir fry flat rice noodles in szechaun gravy with tofu - it was a little bland with not much spice or flavor . Tofu wings - it was ok ok ! Chocolate chip vegan cake was kinda chewy and heavy .. but couldn’t resist and just ate all !

Vegan options! WOW the food is really tasty. They have lots of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options including desserts! We went for lunch. I had the "Chicken" salad sandwich with the bean salad - both were delicious! My husband had the Ceasar Kale salad which was a generous portion. I got the Fresh limeade (also very good). I saw they have breakfast/brunch options too so will definitely be back!

We had the quesadilla with vegan cheese and sour cream (super rare for restaurants to offer vegan options like that!), the grande burrito, BBQ un-wing dings (super crispy), and more. Amazing service as well, was checked on plenty but not intruded! Would highly recommend!

Glazed Donuts is a casual shop on Eaton Street that has been serving up creative donuts and coffee since 2012. The space is relaxed with robot decor, making it a unique spot to enjoy delicious treats. They take pride in crafting each donut from scratch, ensuring that there's a perfect option for everyone.
Great Donut and Coffee experience. Decor is like retro donut shop. Some seating but not enough for large crowd. Donuts are a tad pricey but worth it. Made fresh every day unlike chain stores who have them shipped in. They do not offer "by the dozen" pricing just individual. I would suggest going each morning and getting a fresh donut and coffee.
Heather C — Google review
Definitely on the pricey side for donuts but that comes with the benefit of being high quality. They're not overwhelmingly sweet. Outside almost has a light crust making for a great bite into the soft interior. Pictured is the key lime & Boston creme, filled with plenty of filling! This order cost me $10.30
Caleb — Google review
The donuts, coffee and staff were great! This place has so much potential — if the ambiance matched the food, it could easily be packed with people who would stay longer and order more. Unfortunately, the smell of cleaning products was so strong that it almost smelled dirty, making it hard to stay and eat. There were also lots of extra donut boxes lining the walls, which made the space feel more like a storage unit than a donut shop.
Jeanie S — Google review
4 stars just because of price... I realize everything in the Keys is expensive, but almost $5 a donut was a little steep for me, even as a guy who's favorite sweet is donuts. We were on vacation so we had to sample a half dozen, and the flavors, taste and size were 5 star. The key lime was delicious and I loved the seasonal pumpkin spice. As well as a bakery it's also a very cute coffee shop with a decent amount of inside seating. It's just a block between Truman's Annex and Duval street, so a great location for anyone staying at that end of the island. As the only shop I could find doing traditional donuts, and given how tasty they were, I'd justify the price again if I ever make it back to the keys.

Yes! I really appreciate great donuts. These were exceptional. Had the jelly of the week (guava) and a buttermilk glazed. I want to try them all!! In an atmosphere where heat and humidity are constantly changing, I appreciate the craft of working with dough to bring some happiness to people each day. These guys are brilliant. 100% would go back.

Glazed Donuts is a delightful spot in Key West with a creative, welcoming atmosphere and consistently high-quality selections. The space features fun robot-themed wall art, a U.S. map of donut shops, and an informative board describing their coffee roasting process and menu... small details that really add to the experience. One of my favorite features is the front window where you can watch the kitchen in action. It’s clear a lot of care goes into every batch. I always pick up a lemon poppy seed roll while also trying something new. The coffee is also good, with a self-serve area for customization. There’s seating inside, including a few children’s books along the wall, making it comfortable for a quick breakfast or a relaxed start to the day. The bathroom is clean, and the shop itself is well-maintained. I usually visit early, and by the time I leave, there’s often a line forming out the door, and indication of how good the donuts are. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service. A great stop for locals and visitors alike.

Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe is a bakery in the Florida Keys that specializes in key lime pie. They offer a variety of takes on the classic citrus fruit pie, along with food items such as olive oil and jellybeans.
This shop had a very welcoming environment. We were greeted by the mascot and his famous pie. He welcomed us in and encouraged us to partake in the samples provided all around the store. We purchased waffle cones and they were delicious. My son also got a bag of cookies 🍪, the cappuccino rum cake, and key lime pie. Surprisingly, the key lime pie was not that good. There were so many great treats to choose from. It was a fun experience.

Such a charming little shop! I finally got to try the famous Key Lime Pie here after doing a lot of research, it was my very first time having one in Key West. The pie was incredibly fresh, soft, and so delicious that it practically melted in my mouth. I loved it so much that I finished the whole thing in just four minutes!

Kermit’s Key Lime Pie Shop on Elizabeth Street is a fantastic stop in Key West. The key lime pie is delicious and refreshing, and they also have unique treats like lemon cookies that are worth trying. What makes it even better is the variety of samples available so you can taste before you buy. They even had a little snack for our dog, which was such a nice touch. A fun and welcoming spot to enjoy local flavors.

I know this place is always one of the top rated Key Lime pies in Key West. It ended up being my second favorite (tried 5 during the week). The pie was thicker (less creamy) than the others, but had a really nice lime flavor. I thought the piece was small, and while the shop had a lot of different key lime snacks and souvenirs, it felt a little over commercialized with just grabbing a pre-cut piece from a refrigerated case and checking out at a counter. It wasn't busy when we were there, but you could imagine days with large lines waiting to grab their piece of pie and go find a seat in the dining area. As I mentioned, the shop was cute, and there was a large indoor/outdoor seating area for when it's busy.

I stopped by Kermit’s Key Lime Shop and I have to say, everything about it was amazing. The key lime pie cheesecake was incredibly tasty, rich, creamy, and full of that perfect tangy sweet key lime flavor. Honestly, it was one of the best desserts I have ever had. I also tried the classic key lime pie, and it was just as good, smooth, refreshing, and not overly sweet. You can tell they really know what they are doing. The shop itself is cute and full of charm, and the people working there were very kind and welcoming. Everyone had a smile and made you feel at home. It is one of those places that feels local and authentic, not touristy at all. If you are in Key West, Kermit’s is a must visit whether you are a dessert lover or just curious about why key lime pie is such a big deal. You will walk away happy, maybe even with a few extra slices to take home.

This place is charmingly decorated and welcoming with yummy Key Lime delights inside. I never leave the Keys without a frozen Kermit’s Key Lime Pie for home and send these to clients around the country. Bring your own cooler or you’ll have to pay for a frozen bag. Tried their Key Lime Taffy samples for the first time and ended up buying two bags because they were so yummy. Took one star off because only after, did I read that they’re made with corn syrup and palm oil and I avoid those ingredients for obvious reasons.
Rina — Google review
This was definitely one of the best key lime pie I've tried out of all the keys, but I will say, it's better in the store than buying a whole pie and taking it home. The crust gets almost soggy when its frozen. The prices for everything were pretty reasonable, expect for the pie. Way overpriced, especially for soggy crust. Just need some work on how to keep the crust and it would be worth it because the filling is delicious.

Highly recommend and not just for the pie! Lots of Key Lime treats! Cookies, nuts, crackers, jelly beans... with free samples. It's hard to choose a favorite Key Lime Pie but theirs with coconut is mine :)

American restaurant
Pepe's Cafe is a historic restaurant in the Florida Keys, dating back to 1909. Originally a Cuban grocery that also sold alcohol and featured live music, it has evolved into a popular spot for signature breakfasts and surf 'n' turf dishes. The laid-back vibes and rustic charm make it a local favorite for hearty meals any time of day.
What a fun cafe! We enjoyed breakfast with biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs added. The biscuits and gravy were delicious and everything you expect them to be! In addition to that we got the French toast special which has a strawberry sauce. While I loved the French toast, I was not a fan of the sauce. I will try the eggs Benedict next time.

What a hidden gem! This rustic, slightly divey spot has so much charm and character. The food portions are huge and absolutely delicious — every bite felt homemade with love. And the key lime pie? Hands down the best I have ever tasted — creamy, tangy, and unforgettable. Definitely a must-visit!

Our first stop in Key West was Pepe's Cafe. We had chosen our destination well in advance... and we weren't disappointed. The service was very friendly and professional. We were served delicious coffee and a great American-style breakfast. The place itself has a unique atmosphere and a strong sense of time, as evidenced by the photos of its guests hanging around it... including Ernest Hemingway. It's worth a visit for a coffee and a trip back in time.

This is an iconic place as this is the oldest restaurant in key west. However, it is not for me. The sandwiches werent as tasty and I even ordered the special of the day. I think what affected my rating too is because I had set a very high expectation on this place.

If you look at this place from a certain angle, while trying to avoid the Gulf Coast sun from blinding you, it almost looks like it is closed. It wasn't until we got really close to it that we realized that it was fully functional. As we got closer, a friendly voice welcomed us in and directed us to the bar. Once we got there, Katie Mae simply knocked our socks off with her sense of humor, conversation, and knowledge of the island. Of course we ordered the $1.75 oysters and my friend ordered what's considered the best Mojito in town. My beers were cold and frequent. We truly enjoyed our two visits to Pepe's during our Key West adventure.

Out of the 6 dinners we had in KW, Pepes was our clear favorite. Unpretentious, friendly, quick, fresh and fish so tasty we're still talking about it. We sat at one of the hightops in the bar area. Luke ran the section and we followed all of his great recommendations; pepes style snapper and blackened snapper with a slab of keylime pie that was supposed to be eaten in the morning. The pie didnt survive the short walk back to the hotel. Its with good reason this place has been around longer than any restaurant in Key West. EAT HERE!

A Key West institution! They will cook your catch here, so we brought lobsters freshly caught that morning and enjoyed them with 2 sides, cocktails, a round of delicious appetizers, and key lime pie for dessert. Amazing.

El Meson De Pepe's Restaurant & Bar is a beloved Cuban eatery located in the vibrant Old Town neighborhood of Key West, near Mallory Square. With over 30 years of history, this family-owned establishment is dedicated to preserving the Cuban Conch Heritage. The founder, Pepe Diaz, hails from Yaguajay, Cuba and has crafted a menu featuring authentic Cuban dishes such as roasted pork tostones rellenos and cayo hueso Cuban sandwich.
#80 Combo all the way. You can try some of their top sellers. Yuka, some kind of rice, beens, and 3 kinds of meat. Pro tip # you can use the bread they give you with one of the salsas and throw the meat on it and it is quite delectable! Live music is nice and people dance to it. SHARE a big portion. Also the guacamoli with plantane chips are super good (and add to the bread. Also it is a stones throw from the water! Ervin was an excellent server with how busy they were. Also they have some neat displays inside of wood carvings by mario sanchez. They have information displayed on cuban history and customs.

Cool atmosphere with a lot of character and Cuban vibes. The outdoor seating area is spacious and has a nice setup. The food was okay — not the best I’ve had, but decent. The fried whole fish looked impressive, but the flavor was average. Dessert was also just okay. The biggest issue was the service — it took a long time to get our food, which was frustrating. Overall, worth checking out for the ambiance, but be prepared to wait.

What a fun place!! Great place to enjoy live Cuban music and enjoy the vibe while watching the sunset and eating great apetizers! The Scallops are a must as they are seasoned well with a butter sauce. Planting chips are good and add to the atmosphere. The Shrimp were on a another level and some of the best we had in Key west! Go for the atmosphere and enjoy the food while listening to some great Latin music

The most terrible experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Our server Jose was the most disrespectful server I’ve ever encountered. First he took the order for appetizers and after that took forever to come back and get our order for the meal, by the time he came back he had to tells us that they were out of white rice and arroz Moro which is what we planned to order. We didn’t mind and made our order and actually had to go one by one saying what we wanted and substituting the sides for fries. When the food finally arrived it was completely wrong. Basically all the sides were supposed to be fries and 2 of the orders had yellow rice and black beans, which we never would have ordered together and we mentioned that to our server while he took the order. The worst part is that we ordered 3 churrascos and only got one. The server Jose realized the mistake and started blaming us very rudely, saying we should have been paying more attention while ordering which was extremely disrespectful and rude. He started fighting back and forth on how it was not his fault the order was wrong when it was him who should have realized that we were six at the table and he only had 4 orders. After that he never came back to our table until we went up to him to get the bill because all we wanted was to leave. Everybody saw the way he spoke to us because he was very loud, rude and condescending and no manager or anyone intervened. I included pictures of the state of our table when we left. The plates from the appetizers were never picked up and we ordered multiple mojitos and the empty glasses were all there. Also the food was not good at all the black beans we never ordered were grey and and watery. We thought it was a sauce at first. Overall terrible experience, would not recommend and will not be going ever again.

Sarabeth's in Key West is a popular American restaurant known for its all-day breakfast and delectable desserts. Established in 2005, this sunny brunch spot originated from New York and is housed in the state's first synagogue. The chefs at Sarabeth's use organic and local ingredients to put a unique spin on classic breakfast dishes, such as the shrimp-and-bacon omelet and the renowned Fat and Fluffy French Toast.
We've been wanting to go and finally got to on this trip. Sunday morning brunch time. Inside was cool, tasteful nautical. Outside patio looked shaded and inviting. The staff were delightful, chatty and funny. We were well taken care of. I had the delicious spinach and goat cheese omelet with extra crispy bacon, generous mango pineapple mimosa. They even had gluten free bread for me, for toast. Served with Sarabeth's famous strawberry peach jam. My guy had a shrimp, bacon, cheese omelet and tasty muffin and bloody mary. All great. Highly recommend.

Sarabeth’s has a secret weapon! Is it their amazing Lobster Spinach Omelette, possibly. Is it their delicious Lemon Ricotta Pancakes or the Crab Avocado Bacon Benedict platter? Perhaps it could be the to die for Strawberry shortcake that will make your mouth water. The actual secret weapon is their spectacular customer service, BINGO! Our server for our breakfast today was “Brad.” Brad welcomed us like we were family as soon as we walked in the door. We were shown the menus for both food and beverages, and while we waited fresh, ice cold water was served. Brad inquired if anyone had dietary restrictions or needed to be aware of any allergies. Brad gave us a run down on the specials, and particularly awesome menu items. We truly were in absolute heaven by his professionalism, friendliness and hospitality. The entire staff was impressive. In addition their restrooms were clean, and fully stocked. The restaurant is nestled into a gorgeous corner lot, with ample street parking as well as scooter/bike availability. If you need a lovely, quiet and relaxing breakfast, lunch or dinner please visit Sarabeth’s Key West. (P.S. ask to be seated in Brad section, you’re welcome). Enjoy!

There’s nothing special. It’s very overpriced and the prices aren’t listened or mentioned to you for a reason which is really annoying considering their bottles of water are priced at $13 What easily would have cost us $25-$30 at any other restaurant in town, costed us $135 lol Also as someone who’s from Louisiana…your shrimp and grits are more like a breakfast bowl. I had a spoonful of grits, two shrimps, on top a mixture of sausage and idk what else they added in that bowl but it wasn’t no Shrimp and Grits plz don’t insult us like that again.

Go for the best tomato soup I’ve ever had and the best burger in Key West.. I also had a beautiful salad with fresh greens and a subtle, delicious dressing. This is a charming restaurant in a restored older house. We sat outside on the generous porch, and it was lovely. We arrived close to end of the lunch shift, so they were out of some items, and service was still excellent. We’ll definitely go back for brunch and/or dinner next time we’re there.

Hands down the best little restaurant and bakery that I’ve stumbled across while visiting Key West. The atmosphere is laid back and upbeat. The baked goods are delicious and unique, and the breakfast food is AMAZING. The salmon eggs Benedict was literally the best egg Benedict I’ve ever had. We liked this place so much that we came back three times on one vacation. It’s definitely on the list of places to visit every trip down here.

The menu offers a delightful range of options, from classic pastries to hearty breakfast plates, all made with fresh ingredients and a touch of elegance. The coffee is strong and smooth, complementing the food beautifully.

Walking in you immediately understand that everything done there is done properly, and with care. That sounds funny talking about food, but baked goods are topped perfectly, bread is baked to perfection and while the restaurant was definitely busy, the staff is working tirelessly to turn tables over, to get new customers seated. Not just the “staff”, the OWNER! I told him that if the owner is willing to bus his own tables, that is a formula for success, especially in a place like Key West. Now for the food! Just as I saw in when I walked in, everything that arrived on our plates was fresh and delicious. My kids raved about the bacon, and it is served as half sized. Mini bacon strips! Who knew a tiny little change would be such a hit? The eggs Benedict is light and tangy and the waffle comes with a giant dollop of whipped cream. The tables are situated so that even with the small space, you don’t feel cramped. Prices were not ridiculous, but the food and service would have been worth the price, even if they were. Upper area of Duval is a nice change of pace from the downtown vibes.

La Grignote is a simple and cozy café in Key West, with a laid-back, beach-style vibe, wooden tables, colorful dishes, and a relaxed atmosphere. The highlight was definitely the service: all the staff were super friendly and attentive from start to finish. I chose to sit outside, which was very pleasant. Inside, there's a big display case with lots of tempting sweets, croissants, and other baked goods. I ordered a Croque Madame with 2 poached eggs on top. The portion was huge, and it ended up being too heavy for breakfast. It had a lot of béchamel sauce, which made the flavor kind of repetitive and overwhelming. Wasn't that good to be honest and I couldn't finish it. It came with a small bowl of fruit on the side. My boyfriend ordered a croissant with egg and bacon, and that was excellent! The pastry was light, flaky, and crispy on the outside. The only downside was the sausage that came on the side: fried and very greasy. Overall, it was a good experience. The food had its ups and downs, so it's worth choosing your dish carefully, but the great service and welcoming, no-frills environment made up for it. I give it 4 stars.

Thai Island Restaurant is a charming eatery that offers a delightful blend of Thai cuisine and sushi in a cozy setting, complete with a patio that overlooks the marina. Locals frequent this hidden gem for its renowned crab rangoons, lobster pad Thai, and Key lime pie topped with a luscious coconut milk sauce. The restaurant's unique take on the classic Florida dessert is creamy, tangy, and sweet, offering a delightful burst of flavors.
This is such a great place and a must try if you’re anywhere in Key West! The service is outstanding!!! The food is absolutely phenomenal! The sushi rolls are fresh and large. Totally worth every penny. We had leftovers we had to wrap up to go. My husband & I ate there for lunch. Great views from the second floor deck. The menu will have choices for anyone’s taste or cravings. We both had a bowl of the miso soup. The BEST! The seaweed salad and house salads were also so good and refreshing. My husband’s favorite is the crab rangoon and the spring rolls were light and stuffed with veggies. We also tried the lobster roll and tuna roll. I can’t even explain how great this place is!! Just go!!

The food was really good as always, but she never came back to ask us if we would like a dessert or something else she just came with the bill. We paid and said good bye forever to one of our favorites restaurants because we are not coming back.

Mattheessen’s Candy Kitchen is a beloved spot in Key West, known for its delectable Key lime pies and other sweet treats. The family-owned business, which started as a small coffee kiosk in 1993, has now expanded to multiple locations. In addition to their famous half-pound cookies and homemade ice cream, Mattheessen’s offers traditional Key lime pie with a homemade graham cracker crust that perfectly complements the tart filling.
This is the best spot to get sweet treats on Key West. The cookies are what they are known for and for good reason. Just walking by you will see how ginormous they are. The cookies - chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter, and peanut butter with chocolate icing with fudge on top are all top notch. I loved them all. They also have great options to choose from of their homemade ice cream or milkshakes. I was very happy with the triple chocolate ice cream and the birthday cake ice cream. Pro tip: they will warm up the cookie if you ask and they also sell to go cups of milk if you need it.

Mattheessen’s has their own spin on Key West key lime pie, with a fairly thick hand made graham cracker crust, and whipped cream by request. I like a thicker crust, so I enjoyed the flavor fusion of crunch with the creamy smooth tart lime flavor.

This place is amazing. Got a cookie myself and two other people in my group got a key lime pie on a stick and key lime ice cream. Overall really positive. The cookie was great and really flavorful (Peanut butter and chocolate fudge). I was told that the both key lime pie items were pretty good. Overall a really cool place. Definitely worth it. Only reasons it isn’t 5 stars is because it was pretty pricy and there was a lot of sugar in the cookie. Kinda like a crumble cookie but fresher, better flavors, and felt like a little less sugary and buttery.

Better Than Sex is a daring dessert restaurant located in Key West, offering an intimate and romantic ambiance perfect for a date night or a girls' night out. The menu features decadent desserts and wines with suggestive names, created by the creative pastry chef-owner Dani Johnson and her husband Len.
We absolutely loved this restaurant. It’s the perfect hidden gem for a night out with your girlfriends or an intimate late-night treat with your significant other. The atmosphere is sensual and inviting, with low lighting, rich reds and blacks throughout the space, and a flirtatious vibe that immediately sets the mood. We ordered the “Four-gasm,” which included four different decadent desserts — each one more delicious than the last. The wine selection was excellent, with thoughtful pairings available. They dip the wine glasses in a sweet sauce, which may be a bit rich depending on your taste, but pairs wonderfully with a dry wine or a port. The seating felt intimate and semi-private, and there are sections where you can even draw curtains for extra privacy if you want an even more secluded experience. Service was top-notch: attentive, warm, and made us feel completely cared for without being overbearing. We went late at night, and while it wasn’t busy, the quality of service never wavered. This spot is clearly designed for adults (definitely 21+), and would be an ideal start to a long, memorable evening with someone special. Highly recommend!

It was a great experience. Desserts were delicious. My only recommendation is the following : we wanted to try a few things, but we didn't realize how rich and large the desserts were. I wished the waitress would have been upfront with us about the size desserts and the give us a little heads up about the amount we ordered. Otherwise no complaints at all. Very fun. The missionary dessert was amazing!!!

Several people told us how great this place was and that we should go here so we did. The vibe was fun! It’s dark and cozy and intimate and the menu reads like a smutty novel. Unfortunately, the desserts were not it for me. They were fine, but not mind blowing or anything. We got the four-gasm sampler and everything was just very mid, nothing really stood out. If that’s better than sex, you might be doing it wrong. That being said, if you’re looking for a fun and sexy vibe it might be worth a stop, just don’t expect mind blowing dessert

This is definitely a must try experience while in the Keys. We made a reservation but ended up coming an hour early and they quickly accommodated us. The inside is very dark and romantic, decorated with candles and chandeliers. Their music selection is perfect too. Our server was great in explaining the menu and making recommendations for us. We ordered an espresso martini and an Irish cream cocktail for our drinks which were delicious. We got the sampler with 4 different desserts on it. They included a candle with “happy honeymoon” on the plate which was a nice touch. The desserts were good, not great, which is why I only gave 4 stars. Overall I do recommend checking this spot out just for the experience!

The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The dessert was delicious and a sweet finish to the meal. The drinks, however, were a bit of a letdown compared to everything else, especially given how high-quality the food was. Still, the overall experience was wonderful. Between the fantastic seafood and one of the best views in Key West, I’d happily return to AB Lobster for the food and scenery alone.

Delightful experience dining at A&B Lobster House in Key West this week. Don’t be fooled by the low rating, dragged down by odd reviews! Beautiful location overlooking the marina in the Key West bight. Pavel was our waiter, did a fantastic job, helped us navigate the menu. Attentive but not intrusive! Dinner was excellent, cocktails followed by Pinot Grigio, grilled scallop with caviar, crab cakes, and triple-tail catch of the day, rare menu item … all delicious! Great location, fine dining! Ambiance awesome. Highly recommend!

Absolutely phenomenal! We had the absolute BEST time eating here during our family vacation. We started with the Oysters, which were so delicious. We each got a mixture of food and tried little bits of each, between the Tuna Steak, Alaskan King Crab Legs, Surf & Turf, and more.... Every single dish was perfectly cooked and plated. The staff was also just as pleasant as the food and are very attentive as well. Im also obsessed with the old-school type bar/bathroom in this place as well. Its a Key West GEM! We can not wait to come back!

Three of us ate outside on a Sunday night in early November. It was an amazing dining experience. The menu is extensive and the food is delicious. The shrimp cocktail was one of the best we’ve had and the pear salad was wonderful. The entrees were incredible. Caribbean lobster tail, seared tuna and red shrimp and scallops with fettuccine. The Key lime sorbet for dessert was very nice. Our server Casey was terrific. Super accommodating of all our requests. This is fine dining at its best. Amazing food, superb service and a great atmosphere. We eat here whenever we vacation in the area and definitely recommend this restaurant.

I had an amazing dining experience here. I ordered the filet mignon and a truffle risotto, and both were absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The meal started with warm bread and butter shaped with the restaurant’s initials, such a thoughtful detail. We sat in the outdoor seating area, which was lovely and made the evening even more enjoyable. I also tried the Espresso Martini, which was excellent and tasted like a coffee dessert. Highly recommend!

So make a reservation like a week before. That’s key to get in here and get sat. We had an great server who looked exactly like Julia Roberts. She was amazing!! We sat on the balcony over looking the marina, where they were feeding the huge tarpons. For the appetizer we had a king crab, crab cake. Holy moly was that packed with crab. We had some cocktails with the appetizer. Tito’s n soda and my girl had a mojito. Both were bangin. The main courses were the surf n turf awesome! My girl had a fat spiny lobster tail! Both were great. Dinner was pricey, $280 with a tip but it was really worth it.

We had dinner for 4 on the covered patio over looking the harbor. It was nice to see all the boats in the harbor and a nice view while enjoying your drinks and dinner. The Food was amazing as well. Limited seating only on the patio.....so make reservation or be there earlier.

Salute! On The Beach is a vibrant open-air restaurant located right on Higgs Beach, offering stunning ocean views and a fish-focused Italian menu. As the sister restaurant of Blue Heaven, it aims to bring the same quality dining experience to the beach. The cuisine features an Italian influence with popular dishes like Lobster Gumbo, island cocktails, mussels, and shrimp salad sandwiches.
It’s a true casual beachside seafood restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious. The device was great. We even got the recipe for the salad dressing it was so delicious! It’s hard to choose what was better, the grouper shrimp cakes or the yellow snapper sandwich. Oh that’s right it was the key lime pie!!

Salute! On The Beach offers a truly relaxed Key West dining experience, blending good food with unbeatable views. Nestled right on the beach, the location alone makes it worth a visit — you can feel the ocean breeze, hear the waves, and watch the sun dip low while enjoying your meal. It’s casual yet scenic, perfect for a laid-back evening out. I ordered the pesto pasta with Salute’s vegetables, which was vibrant, fresh, and satisfying without feeling too heavy. I paired it with a stout and a Bradley beer, both of which complemented the dish nicely and added to the mellow, beachside vibe. For my daughter, we ordered noodles with red sauce and cheese, a simple and comforting plate that she really enjoyed. Service was quick and efficient — we didn’t have to wait long for anything, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout. The overall experience was easygoing and enjoyable, ideal for families or anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed meal just steps from the water. Definitely a great spot to unwind with good food, drinks, and that classic Florida Keys backdrop.

This place was awesome! The folks greet you at the door and they exude positivity! The bar is just what you'd expect for being on the beach, but is perfect! The food is delish and portion sizes are healthy. Got the lasagna and the yellow tail snapper. Both were awesome! Parking is plentiful on days when the beach isn't crowded. Highly recommend!

First time trying Salute on the beach and it was great! Nice beach view outdoor seating and atmosphere all around. Mark the Host was so friendly and fun, he’s the best! Jesus was our server and he also took great care of us! Literally everything we tried was soooooo delicious! The fresh bread they bring to the table started off our meal the right way…so fresh and tasty! You can tell the chef put a lot of thought into these menu items. You gotta try the calamari! Might be the best I ever had; it’s sautéed instead of breaded and has a spicy red sauce, we loved it! Make sure you get the key lime pie for dessert! Thanks for an awesome time!

The food was amazing. We ordered the muscles in the white sauce it was to die for! The fresh fish was so yummy and tender the sauces on both of our fish dishes were amazing! The food made me dance. It was so delicious and filling, I had the yellow snapper and my husband had the grouper. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was very relaxing and romantic we sat pretty much on the beach. This is our favorite restaurant in Key West hands down!

Random stop, and was so happy to stumble upon those place. Ordered the sautéed calimari with marinara - which was fantastic! Order it! It was super fresh, plentiful for the cost, and was perfectly satisfying. The marinara had a nice little spice that elevated the dish to the next level. I will definitely Salute this location, and when back in Key West, I will make this a hit!

We've gone here a couple times before and always loved it! This time I had a migraine so we got it to go. The calamari portions are half of what they normally are, we got fettuccine Alfredo one with just chicken and one with shrimp and chicken and the one with shrimp and chicken has hardly any chicken in it compared to the one with only chicken, as well as the portions for the pasta, being a lot smaller than when you eat at the restaurant. Stood for ten minutes waiting for the lady at the bar to ask us what we needed continuously walking passed us without so much as a “one moment please”. Paying $100 for this throw together food is very disheartening.

La Crêperie French Café Key West is a charming spot tucked away in Bahama Village, offering a cozy open-kitchen setting and an outdoor patio for guests to enjoy their breakfast or lunch. With over 14 years of experience, the café has perfected the art of making delicious crêpes, including savory fillings in galettes made with buckwheat.
We went here for brunch and had a great experience. The food was delicious! We had: * Tartines - this was so good with the red pepper sauce, but since this is an appetizer, might not be sufficient as a full meal. * Veggie savory crepe * Eggs Benedict The cold coffees were not that great, but it is because I am mostly used to Indian cold coffees which have more milk and lesser coffee. In the end, we tried the red velvet crepe which was super yummy. Service is slighty slower, but the food was worth the wait.

Best breakfast in Key West. Came back both mornings that we were there. We had the veggie Omelette and the quiche and tried some crepes as well, which were SO good. The cappuccino was on point as well. The vibes are so cute. Friendly staff. I love this place so much and would highly recommend it.

We always stop by this cute spot in Key West. I love the plain crepes, but I tried a savory one this time and wasn't a fan. The plain crepe with maple syrup is still my favorite! My family loves the sweet crepes and they get crazy and ice cream 🔥😂 Service the last two times have been better. So I appreciate that as well.

Traditional French breakfast fare in a classic styled cafe with a jovial atmosphere. Service was quick but with no pressure to keep moving even though they had a constant stream of patrons. Being able to watch the crepes being made in front of you while sitting at the bar was especially helpful in deciding what to have on future visits!

La Crêperie is tucked away in a charming neighborhood just south of Duval Street, giving it a relaxed, local vibe that’s a nice break from the busier parts of Key West. The café has a small, cozy indoor space and some inviting outdoor seating, great for people-watching or enjoying a breezy morning. I tried the Key lime crepe, which was tasty and had a nice balance of flavors, but overall felt overpriced for the portion size. Adding to that, there’s a $2 surcharge on all menu items, which makes the cost feel even steeper. Service was friendly at first, but inconsistent. Our server was pleasant, but disappeared for a long stretch with no drink refills, and we eventually had to flag down another server just to get our check. All in all, La Crêperie has a fun atmosphere and decent food, but the service and value didn’t quite live up to expectations. It’s worth a visit if you’re nearby, but don’t expect a standout experience for the price.

Fantastic breakfast, lunch or brunch spot! We went for brunch one afternoon around 1pm in August and it was busy but we got seats at the bar. Stopped by the next morning around 11am and it was PACKED and lots of people waiting. Amazing food. I had a great crepe with strawberries, banana and chocolate ganache. My boyfriend had a croque and was obsessed! Great and super friendly service. Would definitely return here!
Lauren K — Google review
If I could give zero stars, I would. The food is overpriced and not tasty — everything was burnt. The Eggs Benedict was just a plain boiled egg, and the omelet was overcooked and burnt as well. The kids' portion of the omelet was ridiculously small for $11 plus an extra $2. Service was slow and unpleasant; the waiter ignored all our requests. The tables are tiny — there were four of us, but the table was meant for two. Overall, I absolutely do not recommend this place.

Key West Key Lime Pie Co. is a renowned establishment known for its delicious key lime pies, which are made fresh daily and have won numerous awards. The pies boast a light and smooth filling with just the right amount of sweetness, all nestled in a crunchy graham-cracker crust. They offer traditional key lime pie made the old-fashioned way, with a buttery graham cracker crust and tangy filling topped with whipped cream.
Stopped in on my way out of town to get a slice of key lime pie for my wife back in Miami. The shop had just opened, and the sweet, attentive lady behind the counter really made my day. Back in Miami, we served those mini pies, and they were delicious. I don't know if KWKLPC has the best pie in the Keys, but I do know it's the only place I will ever go when I'm down there.

I’m a key lime pie fan. We went by a few places to try their key lime pies. We got a small pie, it frozen, we ate it about a day later and it wasn’t good. It felt as the crust melted (got runny like the caramel of a flan). The texture wasn’t good, I’m not sure if it was because we got it frozen but it’s definitely not worth it. My daughter ate the whip cream. Publix key lime pie is a whole lot better.
Janet C — Google review
Grabbed a key lime pie to go. Will say I had a decent amount of key lime pie this trip. I will say this one’s ok. Maybe it’s because for me I’d like to have a bit more crust for a texture difference or contrast, also the pie was more tart than sweet. Basically, if those flavor profiles matches your fancy, absolutely come in and grab a slice.

This was the MOST delicious key lime pie I had ever tasted. Such kind and friendly staff and amazing key lime pie merch for a reasonable price. The store was also beautifully decorated which made the experience even better. It was walking distance from our cruise ship and if you are ever in key west you need to stop by. I also got the most heavenly scented key lime pie candle, an authentic beignet and the most refreshing key limeanade. My only complaint is that I don’t think I will be able to eat another key lime pie again unless it is made from this place, it’s that good

This was the absolute best key lime pie I have ever eaten. My niece and her husband actually saw this company on The Profit and said the gentleman stated the same thing. I guess you’ll have to visit Key West to get a taste of true key lime pie or order it online and have shipped. I wish I had bought more!! I highly recommend visiting if in the area.

Absolutely delicious 😋!! My Hubby and I came in December 2023 all the way from Atlanta during a cruise and now I returned in May 2024 on another cruise with my Mom. The key lime pie is light and refreshing. I also enjoyed the key lime punch so authentic. What I appreciate the most is that it's not tart!! The most delicious choice in Key West...give them a try.

Definitely the BEST Key Lime Pie in the Key West!!! We have tried Key Lime Pie from other locations during the same visit, but their Key Lime Pie and taffy definitely have that Key Lime punch, great consistency and taste as well.

Great place for ma y flavors of ice cream and gelato, including some with alcohol. They give you a generous scoop for a single serving. I had passion- mango-guava, and my wife liked her Pina colada. The key lime was ok, but rather bland compared to all the others our group had.

Whoever was working tonight was so sweet,attentive and helpful. And I'm sure we were annoying with all our questions but she seemed to really enjoy helping. The strawberry ice cream was super fruity n creamy. Loved the chocolate chip. It was just like we used to get when I was a kid. Light flaky chocolate chips. Lots of chocolate. Was not a huge fan if the chocolate amaretto. Promising but it had a slightly fake alcohol flavor to it. Maybe a minor adjustment in the recipe would fix it. The best by far BANANA CINNAMON! Light, fluffy, and velvety and a little sweeter. It's my new favorite. Anyhow definitely the best ice cream in Key West. We've had them all. This one is the most flavorful and absolute best service.

This place needs more credit on the island as it definitely seems underrated. They have so many fun and fresh flavors to offer and some local ones like Cuban coffee and key lime. They also have variety as they serve sorbets, frozen yoghurt and gelato-style ice cream. I had the coconut and guava and both of them are excellent. The coconut has actually shreds of coconut that gives it a nice texture and the guava is the prettiest color. It did get a little crowded and chaotic while I was there as there was only one person running it but she was super nice about offering samples and being patient. Highly recommend just dropping by as you walk around!

I live in Florida but was my first time in key west. West to this place yesterday. OMG. Ice cream was so good. I got guava and key lime, my wife and daughter chocolate and my son vanilla. Chocolate was really good and I am not a big fan of chocolate ice cream. Guava was delicious with a natural flavor. But I will tell you, the key lime flavor was amazing. I this was the best ice cream I ever tried in the US honestly. Definitely worth coming back for that.

Key West Cakes, run by Steven and Paul, specializes in delectable cupcakes like red velvet, blondie, strawberry, chocolate chip, and peanut butter. Their smooth frosting and creative decorations make these classics stand out. In addition to cupcakes, they offer cookies, muffins, and chocolate-dipped strawberries. Originally operating from a house in 2006 with just two employees, Key West Cakes quickly expanded due to the growing wedding market in the Keys.
Key West Cakes made the most delicious red velvet cake for my husband and I's wedding! We still talk about how good it was and how we wish we could eat it all over again! Not only did it taste great, but the design was stunning. I sent them an inspiration photo and they flawlessly recreated it. Also, their price for a single tier heart shaped cake was very reasonable. Especially when compared to the much higher quotes we received from other Key West bakeries. Thank you, Key West Cakes!

Key West Cakes did our wedding cake, and I couldn't have been happier! We chose a coconut cake with coconut icing, and it was such a crowd pleaser. I normally find wedding cake to be boring and dry, but this cake was so moist, fluffy, and flavorful. Our guests loved it! We tried saving the top tier but ended up devouring it with family the next day because we were all talking about how good it was. I will dream of this cake until I'm able to be back in Key West for a slice again soon!

Heavenly cupcakes! I picked up 6 of them today and tried the Funfetti as soon as I got home. A perfect 10 for me. The buttercream frosting is wonderful, it is not too heavy. There was a good amount of frosting on too, which is my favorite part of any cake so it was a hit for me. I can't wait to try the other flavors I got: mint chocolate chip (which has green mint cake vs chocolate cake), guava, lemon lovers, coconut bliss and key lime pie. They look incredible and based on the first one I tried I'm sure they will be just as delightful. A must-try for any cake lover. I can't wait to go back and try different flavors and also try their cookies. I do have one recommendation though, either drive to get these (they have some parking) or put them in a cooler to get them home if walking or biking. I had the cupcakes in a sealed bike bag during the hottest part of the day and got them home in under 10 min and some of the frosting had started to slide off and kind of "melt". Totally my fault and lesson learned. Next time I will have an ice pack in my bag.

An absolutely beautiful little shop with a wonderful cafe. I had an opportunity to meet Rebecca who's the buyer for the shop and she was explaining the mission of the place is to buy local and sustainable. For example their private line is made in Brooklyn New York with zero waste using 3D knitting. The pottery is made in Key West. You can't forget about the cafe with a delicious menu not often found down here! A great place to shop, grab a coffee or a easy lunch or breakfast.. And it's even served with a smile.

We read their menu late one night in their front window while passing by. My friend was obsessed with trying the green shakshuka. We went back in the morning for brunch. Although my travel friends are healthy eaters, they don’t usually eat at places like this, but were happy with the experience. Their shakshuka was FABULOUS and full of herbs and flavor. Two of us ordered the mushroom croissant…nobody could shut up about how good it was! I had their basil limeade. BEST LIMEADE I’ve ever had (fresh and sour and unique in flavor). I ordered a bowl with greens, salmon, avocado and pickled onions. It was EXACTLY what I was wanting-hearty, oh-so-fresh food to nourish me! 2 friends ordered the spinach and feta frittata and loved it! The coffee and golden milk were also spot-on. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasty. They’ve put a lot of thought into presentation and flavors, not to mention all of the earth-friendliness! I appreciated everything about this spot. Is it cheap? No, but actual good food never is. Also, their prices are totally comparable to anywhere else in town. The vibe is fun, welcoming and calm, and it’s a unique setting tucked back inside an upscale boutique. This is exactly the kind of healthy comfort food I look for when traveling. We were all so delighted to have eaten here.

The best cake we have ever had. Please don’t be blinded by the more popular/prominent bakeries in Key West. We tried them all (and not just their wedding cakes) and Paola’s tasting alone blew them out of the water. The white cake with strawberries and mousseline is to die for. Key lime with key lime filling is soooo good but the white cake stole the show for us. Guests were raving about both flavors. We ordered enough so we would have plenty of leftovers and people were stopping by the next morning to take some home and began eating a slice right in our condo. We did a small cutting cake with 2 sheet cakes served to guests, price was reasonable, decor was beautiful, flavor was fantastic. We will be ordering one to celebrate our anniversary when we are back next year.

We came to the Keys to visit our dearest friends and to celebrate our daughter’s 21st birthday. Amazing Cakes did a great job on capturing college/Keys/and the important “21”. The confetti cake flavor was so delicious. Delivery was perfect! Thank you so much!

Amazing Cakes truly lives up to its name. My cake was absolutely perfect. I had sent a few photos of what I wanted and they went above and beyond my expectations. Rick and team were so easy to email back and forth with and accommodate all of my requests. They even delivered to my hotel so it was there when I arrived. I very highly recommend! (Also is super reasonably priced!)

The most amazing cake and awesome service!!! Knowing my birthday was on April 11th and that we would be in Key West with friends, my fiancee wanted to do something extra special, as it was my 60th. She had found a pic of a similar cake and contacted the folks at Amazing Cake with her idea.... We are craft beer fans and especially fans of one certain craft brewery here In Virginia Beach. They had her ship the empty can to them and they came up with what was in the accompanying picture. The day of my birthday dinner, we were all over the map about where to go for dinner and Rick was SO helpful, even delivered the cake to the restaurant at 5 p.m. when we finally decided where we were eating... The cake was a HUGE success, an AWESOME SURPRISE and TASTY!!! Thank you Rick and company for all your hard work and assistance.

All I can say is wow!! My baby shower cake was so unbelievably beautiful I didn’t want to take a bite of it, the cake was the center of attention at our party :) From the phenomenal artistic design, to the rich delicious flavor, and the white chocolate ornaments... our cake was hands down the best!! I wish I could give more stars! Cannot wait to have another cake done for our next special occasion!

Nestled in the heart of Key West, The Mansion On The Sea is a charming historic Victorian inn that offers guests an unforgettable experience. This delightful retreat features a cozy vacation home and invites you to indulge in a complimentary continental breakfast each morning. One of its highlights is the Seaside Cafe, where culinary delights await, including their famous Lobster Pizza and shareable plates like Cast Iron Truffle Mac and Cheese.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My wife and I stayed at the Southernmost House for our anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect! The property is right on the water with the most amazing views—such a relaxing place to unwind and soak in the Key West vibe. The house itself is stunning, full of history, and so well cared for. On top of that, the staff are amazing—you truly feel right at home from Dean at the front of house to Alex the Manager. Their hospitality is top-notch and made our stay extra special. We can’t wait to come back again!

Absolutely loved this place! We hosted a surprise 30th birthday for my brother and rented out the entire property for the weekend. The service was truly exceptional - the staff made it feel like our own home. They went above and beyond, helping us place gift bags in each room and decorating the house for the celebration. We spent the day by the pool and had the main party in the afternoon/evening. We set up a tent and stage for a few bands, and the whole setup was gorgeous - plenty of space for our 60+ guests, right on the water. The staff were incredibly accommodating, letting us bring in coolers for drinks and catering from local restaurants. Everyone had an amazing time in such a beautiful setting. I can’t recommend Southernmost House enough for private parties, weddings, or any special event. Huge thanks to the entire team for an unforgettable weekend!

This place has everything you need for a perfect trip to Key West. We just returned from our honeymoon and we would go back in a heartbeat. The location is perfectly located near Old Town, right at the end of Duval. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our trip was special. Elio had our room decked out with champange and roses when we arrived and gave us countless recommendations for food and things to do. We also loved the bar and cafe located at the resort. The lobster pizza was delicious. The complimentary breakfast was also delicious with fresh local baked goods. The pool is by far the best pool on the island. Clean, beautiful view of the ocean, and the occasional chicken and iguana crossing. We cannot wait to book our next trip back to this resort!

Why 3 Star, because it’s rates a 3 star property, just a really expensive 3 star. You’re paying for location, pool and damn good pastries. We’re staying here right now (Night 1 of 3), We got moved from a King size partial Ocean View to a Bungalow. We were not told our upgrade was a Queen (pretty lame lack of communication tbh). Our first impression of the Bungalow was not great. The door barely shuts, the lights out avice the door and it barely locks. It has a dated kitchen and lack of detailed cleaning; think dirty old vents and build up on the vents. Not sure about this place tho. Hoping to be charmed by breakfast. Update Day 3 of 3. We decided to stay and not move, due to the fact we’re lazy, and we like the pool and quiet end of Duval. That said we did worry that we had a mold or mildew on our ceiling, the wash cloth holder comes off the wall. Get the picture? A lot of stuff like that. All in all a cool place just seems dumpy compared to nearby properties and other places we’ve stayed.

This restored mansion is at the southernost tip of Key West, right on the water. The large grounds include beautiful guest rooms, large outdoor pool and sun deck, and a nice cafe. Shopping, dining, and entertainment are mere steps from your door. And the infamous "Southernmost Point" marker photo-op is right next to it.

Went to enjoy some drinks and the view, but was absolutely appalled to see the host pouring boiling hot water on the chickens and roosters that were walking around. They were not getting into food or bothering anyone. Everywhere else on the island will use cold water spray bottles or just shoo them away. When I confronted the host about this disgusting behavior, he told me it was no problem and it was company policy. I have tried to call several times to speak with a manager, but I am told every single time that there is no manager on duty. Pouring boiling hot water on birds IS animal abuse and it is uncalled for. I wouldn’t suggest anyone step foot on this property.

If you find yourself wandering the charming streets of the island, make sure to stop by Mattheessen's, a delightful sweet shop that has become a beloved staple among locals and visitors alike. With three convenient locations, you're likely to stumble upon this gem where indulgence awaits. Known for its rich homemade fudge and creamy ice cream—available in tantalizing Key Lime flavors—Mattheessen's is particularly famous for its Key Lime pie.
Cookies as big as my fist, YES! If you’re looking for a Key West cookie, look no further. Mattheessen’s has got you covered. With every possible ice cream and milkshake options available if you something cool. But if you’re looking for a sweet cookie fix, they have chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, and so much more. The lady working behind the counter was polite, friendly and busier than a one arm paper hanger. Please if you’re looking for an unforgettable experience, check out Mattheessen’s. You will not be disappointed, enjoy!

I hesitate to leave this three star review because the pie was actually GOOD! Very homemade, very good. The first time we went, the lady was nice and she gave us that good pie, and I don’t want to take away from that. HOWEVER, the second time we went, there was a guy working the counter and he obviously wasn’t very versed in what to do. My husband ordered the key lime milkshake and after some hesitation, the gentleman scooped some hard vanilla ice cream into a cup, filled the top with ice and limeade and gave it to us, all for about $9 IF you don’t leave a small tip, which we did. If you are wondering if you read that right, yes you did. The guy didn’t blend the shake AT ALL. It was a hard ice cream lump with liquid floating around it. We were flabbergasted. How does one drink this? Or do we eat it? Yeah, it ended up in the trash with a lot of disappointment. Needless to say, we won’t be coming back.

When we first went to store, it was should have been open but the doors were locked. The lady inside waved gave hand signal as if to say just a minute. Well, we waited outside for at least 5 minutes and she never opened the door. We did go back hours later and she had opened for business. My great nephews enjoyed the ice cream. I love the way the store is decorated and it’s next to the best breakfast place ever; The Breakfast Club, Too.

Now that’s a cookie! Most oversized cookies suffer from the same issue - they are baked on the outside but by the time you get to the center it’s typically gooey undercooked cookie dough. Thankfully the chocolate chip cookie here was perfect. Baked throughout while still maintaining crunchiness on the outside but still cakey in the inside without being undercooked. This was one of my favorite cookies I’ve had in a long time.

Limes and Pies is a delightful spot that offers a unique take on classic lime-infused treats. The Lime(a) Bean Martini, for instance, expertly blends lime flavors with vanilla extract for a refreshing twist on the traditional martini. Meanwhile, their Key Lime Pie has garnered rave reviews for its world-class quality and balanced sweetness. Visitors also praise the wide selection of ice cream flavors available, including non-dairy options like the delectable strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone.
We visited on a Tuesday night in late December 2024 (Christmas eve). It has a fun and inviting store front design with lots of seating. There were a lot of key lime themed snack foods in here and everything seemed to be reasonably priced and comparable to other places around. The one staff helping us was also very nice and there was one group there when we came in and another one came in when we left. We ordered: - Key Lime Colada - Raspberry Key Lime - Strawberry Key Lime - 2x Slices of Key Lime Pie All the frozen drinks were great and the kids loved them. We also stopped by here to get some Key Lime Pie slices to try. They were also very tasty. If you wanted anything Key Lime flavored this is your one stop shop and a necessity to try while in Key West.

What a sweet spot in key west! You know after I got so many lemons, I have to come to keywest and visiting Hemingway’s house and the 61 cats on property. And this cute store just adorable. Key lemon pie with rich favor and a nice slice of lemon candy, perfectly matches the Cuban coffee and expresso. And the music and people watching on the cozy sofa… our server mil is very professional and attentive. The accessories and snacks and sweets they are selling will definitely bring the vibe back to wherever you are…can’t agree more below: Mil was a really great help with our questions. Didn’t experience such a great sales assistant in Florida yet.

Best Key Lime pie Has a nice balance between sweet and tart creamy. The crust was really good held together. Well not hard but not too soft and the whipped cream was really smooth.

Le Macaron is a sweet and bakery store in the heart of Duval Street in Key West, specializing in macarons - delicate French pastries with a distinctly Parisian flavor. Roger tried the dessert and enjoyed it, though he's not a huge macaron fan himself. The store is well-known and easy to spot, with its iconic Eiffel Tower window display.

Good place if you want to try some nice French pastries. We just wanted to try out macarons since we have never had one. We tried, as far as I remember, the Lemon and the Raspberry macarons and they were great. They even make these assorted boxes which you can get packed and gift it to someone. Definitely, a must try if you are on Duval Street.

What a cute shop on Duval St.! So many flavors to choose from it was hard to decide! My favorite was Bubblegum and it was blue! These kinds of treats are not cheap but when you're in Key West you need to treat yourself! They also have free tasting samples which makes it easier to decide what flavor to get. Best to eat them right away or keep them chilled. Next time I'm in Key West I'm going back to get some more!

It's a chain shop, same as the one I visited in Savannah in August this year. The chocolates are as beautiful as they are tasty. The macarons are delicious, even though they're a bit pricey for the size. And they were out of my favorite pistachio macarons when I visited. Still, it was an oasis of coolness after an afternoon of walking. Service is cheerful. I can't vouch for the gelato, but it did look yummy. These sweets are for a slightly more sophisticated palate than the sugar store down the street.

Very disappointed with the Macaroons. Not light with a slight chew. Not traditional at all. I can make these at home so much better. And I agree with comments expensive if not done correctly but it’s on Duval St got to make money. However need to do Macaroons recipe over

Cakes by Karol in Key West is known for creating stunning and delicious cakes that are true works of art. Featured on TV and in magazines, these cakes come in a variety of flavors like chocolate, coconut, banana, and white chocolate with fillings such as strawberry, key lime, and dulce de leche. The bakery is also capable of accommodating special dietary needs like gluten-free and vegan options without compromising on taste.
My wedding cake was the perfect wedding cake!! It was exactly what I wanted!! Cakes by Karol customer service was excellent. They kept me updated on everything and worked with the venue to get the cake delivered and we did not have to do anything. I highly recommend them!!

Working with Cakes by Karol was an absolute delight from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive and patient, answering all of our questions and offering thoughtful recommendations on flavor combinations that would complement each other perfectly. We had a very specific cake inspiration we found online, and Karol took that exact vision and transformed it into a beautiful cake that not only matched our wedding aesthetic but also reflected our personalities. It was truly the perfect centerpiece for our celebration. One of the highlights was the cake tasting process—even though we weren’t local, Karol shipped the cake layers, fillings, and frostings to us so we could sample and mix flavors at home. It was so much fun (and so tasty!) to experiment with all the delicious combinations before making our final choice. On the big day, our guests couldn’t stop raving about how incredible the cake was—some even joked about trying to bribe others for extra slices! That kind of reaction says it all. If you want a cake that’s as delicious as it is beautiful, and a vendor who’s easy to communicate with and truly cares, Cakes by Karol is the one to call.

Cakes by Karol hosted the desserts and cake for our wedding day last week. I have Celiac Disease and other food allergies so I stick mostly to a gluten free/vegan diet. Given that, we did a one tier gluten free, vegan cake with chocolate cake, peanut butter filling and vanilla buttercream icing with a blush flower on the side. Not only did our cake look beautiful, but you would have never known it was a gluten free, vegan cake - it was DELICIOUS! I totally recommend them whether you have food allergies or not. Our guests loved the dessert display we put underneath (key lime shooters, chocolate trifle shooters, peanut butter chocolate shooters, chocolate covered strawberries). Our guests ate them until they couldn't eat anymore, even after our reception had ended. Cakes by Karol worked amazing with all of this and the fact that we live almost 2,000 miles away. They kept in contact with us through emails, calls, etc. and always responded in a timely fashion. That was such a breeze to feel important so far away. Thank you Cakes by Karol! If we could give you more than 5 stars I would!

Very accommodating business. You tell them what you want and they’ll get it done (for a price of course). It’s always a gamble when it comes to taste. I had a cake done professionally last year for my daughters birthday in cape cod and it was trash, so I was praying this was edible. Luckily we could actually eat a birthday cake this year! Definitely pricey, but I know nothing about cake making. Overall they came through on my daughters birthday and that’s all I could ask for. Even delivered to Latitudes on a separate island. Thank you, again. (For those that need to know the cake we got was dense and rich and sweet, but that’s all I’ll say about that)

This funky bakery is a favorite of locals and tourists alike for its delicious key lime pies, treats, and other Key West-themed products. The location on Front and Duval Streets is just steps from Mallory Square, making it easy to pick up some sweet treats on your way to explore the lively district.
Awesome bakery with many other key lime items, like cookies, jelly beans and taffy. They offer samples too. There is a small outdoor are to sit and eat but no tables just seats. The key lime pie was good, but found it "normal" not too tart just enough lime flavor. I preferred their strawberry key lime instead, it was perfect! They also have a strawberry drink that is aaamazing! Didn't get a picture of it. But highly recommend it. You can also purchase gift, items as seen in the pictures. If you like key lime flavored anything, this is your place 👌

Of course the trolley we rode on through Key West passed in front of Kermit's Key West Lime Shoppe. Of course a human dressed in a key lime-colored baker's outfit was right curbside showing off a whole key lime pie to us all. And of course my spouse had to have one. After throwing down a few and enjoying some conch around town, we popped in before getting back on the cruise ship. MENU: Pies (by the slice, whole, even shipped to the lower 48), ice cream, smoothies, beverages. DESSERT: Key Lime Pie On A Stick An actual slice of frozen pie was covered in a dark chocolate shell. I personally would've liked it more if it was milk chocolate as the combined tartness of the pie and dark chocolate made it extremely tart for me. Key Lime Pie I'm not a key lime pie expert or fan, but it was good to me. A bit tart, light, not overly sweet, with a thin and moist crust. SERVICE: The male staff member who assisted us was welcoming and friendly. TIP: They sell other snacks and items as well. Mosey around the store! OVERALL: If you're a key lime fan, I'm sure you'll love this place.

If you're looking for key lime pie you've come to the right place! This shop is located right on Duval street and most likely you'll walk by it. Once you enter the place is really cute. They offer a variety of cookies, crackers, and the best part is they have free samples of it all! My favorite cookies were the key lime coolers. Give em a try. They also sell key lime pie by the slice or the whole pie. And if you want the pie to go, they do have thermal bags available which will keep your pie chilled. There's a fridge with key lime pies dipped in chocolate which are quite tasty. Another cool thing here is Key Lime Pie beer! Now that was an interesting find. I had never seen this before so I had to taste it. Yes, it's sour, but pretty refreshing especially on a hot day. I tried a slice of the original key lime pie and it was delish. Perfect amount of tartness and creaminess. The whip cream was delicious and the graham crust tasted fresh. They have some seating indoors and also have a cute key lime colored patio area where you can enjoy your goodies.

Had to try what I was told was the best key lime pie in KW. It was delicious indeed but I’ve got to believe there is better. Also the size of the slice is tiny.

Lovely French bakery tucked away off the side of the major road running throughout KW. Without looking it up honestly this place would be very easily missed but missing this place would be a mistake. Very delicious and artfully crafted baked items. Can strongly recommend the chocolate and almond (bear claw?, not quite sure but I loved it) all items were delicate and sweet but not overwhelming. I could definitely go through several of these without an issue so I had to restrict myself to half a baked item a day. Flew a few back home they were so good. In the $4-5 range for most items. Absolutely make a stop here

Highly recommend!

Nice little breakfast spot. Not super French though - crepes were chewy, but tasty and espresso was served in styrofoam cups. Ugh. Outside of that, pretty fabulous. Very nice staff, clean, prices not too bad. Breakfast sandwiches on croissants were on point.

If you're craving some delicious desserts, be sure to check out Mattheessen's Bakery. They have three locations in Key West and all of the goodies are made on-site each day. THEIR cookies are legendary, but don't forget about their ice cream, Key Lime Pie and other treats!
This was such a fun place with great local ice cream, the really fun part is checking out the local Keylime pie that was made just right and then dipped in chocolate. I never experienced such a thing before, but I really love it. The customer service was awesome. Highly recommended!

Such a cute place for desserts, wished we tried the ice cream. The cookies are absolutely huge and we got the snickerdoodle and chocolate chip. It was delicious but it didn’t WOW us. Overall the atmosphere and customer service were great!

This was a good ice cream spot; the ice cream is especially creamy which suggests to me that it has a higher cream content. The key lime pie was quite tasty; sweet yet tart and had a thick yummy buttery graham cracker crust. The gentleman added some whipped cream as this is not the “meringue topped” type of key lime pie. We also had some Cuban cappuccino which was essentially an Italian cappuccino but it was very good. The gentleman serving us surprised us with a taste of an affogado (espresso and some vanilla ice cream) which was really tasty! There are also giant cookies, fudge, gluten free chocolate macaroons but we did not try those. The ice cream is made down the street but it is essentially made on site as is the key lime pie. Good place!

Mattheessen’s Homemade is absolutely delicious! The ice cream sundae was incredible, topped with warm, fresh cookies that smelled amazing the moment you walked in. The whole place is filled with the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked cookies and sweets. Everything tasted rich, homemade, and full of flavor. If you’re in Key West, this place is a must-visit!”

By far the best key lime pie in all of Key West! The crust was incredible , and the key lime flavor is spot-on — tangy, smooth, and just right. We actually stumbled upon this spot while looking for ice cream but decided to try the pie instead… and I’m so glad I did! Highly recommend — even better than Kermit’s!

This luminous place will define my memories of Key West. A candy-like scent permeates the place, and I bought a bag full of massive cookies. The chocolate chip cookies with pecans, and peanut butter with chocolate fudge are absolute winners! The dense cookies are buttery, and perfectly chewy. You can definitely change the world with these cookies!

Kilwins is a delicious old fashioned confectionery chain selling chocolates, ice cream, handmade sweets and gift baskets. The ice cream is so good that it's worth travelling to Key West just to taste it! The service is excellent and the staff are very friendly.
We were not locals and needed something done last minute for Super Bowl. They nailed it with making us our chocolate covered strawberries and making them look like footballs. They were very polite in person and had no problem with the request. Highly recommend and the strawberries were very fresh and the chocolate was amazing!

Dairy Queen Store is a classic fast-food chain known for its soft-serve ice cream, signature shakes, burgers, and fries. The Key West location has a loyal customer base that spans generations, with many patrons reminiscing about enjoying ice cream delights as children and now sharing the experience with their own families. The friendly and happy team at this Dairy Queen maintains the quality experience that customers have come to love.
Looking for some dessert on date night after dinner. Went with the old classic! Friendly staff and well made blizzards. The thing that left me impressed with was how fast they were at making our ice cream as well as all the nice spots to sit. Yeah.. this is a good spot to hit when you are looking for something sweet!

Do not tip until you get your order. New owners are terrible! We have so many wonderful ice cream shops in Key West. This is not one of them.I always get the same thing. The grasshopper. It always had the graham cracker sprinkles in it. This time I was told it would be extra. When I got home, I did my research. Lots of photos and specific details regarding what is in the grasshopper. Including the graham cracker sprinkles. Seriously, if I wanted two scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream, I could’ve just gone to the grocery store for half the price. Instead of arguing with a customer, just give them what they want. I took two bites of my ice cream and told the server to put it in the trash. I have no desire to go back here ever again. Hope you all are reading this and enjoyed my tip.

Wicked Lick Ice Cream in Key West is a delightful gem that offers homemade, all-natural ice cream without any artificial ingredients. Located at Flamingos Crossing on Duval Street, this charming spot boasts an impressive selection of tropical flavors crafted from locally sourced fruits. One standout option is the vegan-friendly Reef Diver, which combines Oreo cookies with fresh strawberries and berry sauce—an absolute treat that leaves you craving more!
I couldn’t figure out why the ice cream was so refreshing instead of the heavy stuff that weighs your stomach down on a hot day or why I didn’t see the typical giant ice cream tubs behind a glass case - it’s made in small batches! Absolutely perfect stuff. Get the strawberry
John S — Google review
We had ice cream from here four nights in a row! We don’t have much to compare it to because after our first visit, we were hooked and didn’t feel the need to try anywhere else. Our go-to combo was Mexican vanilla with Oreos and strawberries—absolutely delicious. The two ladies who helped us each night were incredibly kind and even shared some of the shop’s history with us, which made the experience even more special. We’d 100% recommend this spot, though to be fair, our recommendation is based on our overall love of ice cream rather than comparing it to other places in the Keys.
AA T — Google review
$20.99 for ONE small scoop of strawberry ice cream in a cup and a small vanilla milkshake is INSANE! This is taking advantage of people! They have no prices posted on their menu in store so you don’t know that when you get to the register, you will be paying a crazy price. Generally, there is an expectation of price that would seem fair and reasonable for things, but this is ridiculous. Never again. RESPONSE: of course we ate it as we did not plan to waste it after purchasing. And, nowhere did I say it tasted bad. I strictly said your prices are horrible and they are.

We loved Wicked Lick so much, we went three days in a row while visiting Key West! The ice cream is fantastic—my girls couldn’t get enough of the one scoop with the waffle cone nacho chips (such a fun and tasty twist). The service made it even better—the ladies behind the counter were personal, friendly, and so warm every time we came in. It’s rare to find a spot that hits both the flavor and the experience this well. We’ll definitely be back next year!

Incredibly disappointed in the quality & pricing of this “ice cream.” The texture was very icy, the flavor was lacking and it was $8 for a small! They have very basic flavors and you have to pay extra to add toppings, as nothing is mixed in. We tossed our $10 worth of ice cream (chocolate with crushed Oreos on top) and went to Dairy Queen. I’ll pay for quality ice cream, but this did not check any of the boxes unfortunately :(

We came across this local small business while we were in Key West last weekend and decided to give it a try!! I’m so glad we did! It did NOT disappoint!! We got to meet the owners and they are so friendly! The shop is so bright, cheerful and inviting! We loved it so much that we came by on our way out of town!! They have a few merchandise items!! We had the shaved ice both times. The large is HUGE and at a great price!! We also added condensed milk and it was amazing!!! If you’re in Key West, you definitely need to give it a try! It’s on the corner of Fitzpatrick Street and Greene Street!!

Great deal for the price. I thought that the small was a large. It is well air conditioned and feels like a great environment. I tried blue raspberry and cherry. After a taste test I decided that the blue raspberry was a better flavor and I would recommend that. All in all this is a great place to get a quick shaved ice for a good price.

I love this place. I don't usually eat ice cream, but I drink a lot of fruit smoothies. I usually make them myself in my Vita-Mix, but in Key West for a treat this is where I like to go. Smoothie Shuttle is good too, but they're a little confusing with all the additives and such; this is easy and quick and the people are very nice. And the smoothies are uber-delicious to my tastes! Occasionally when I exercise by riding my human-powered vehicles around the island I like to make this the end of the hard ride, and cool down with a creamy, satisfying fruit smoothie. As some have mentioned, the products are very sweet; if you don't care for that just ask them to use more tart fruit and less ice cream, they've always been very accommodating for me. Recommended.

When visiting the Florida Keys, indulging in Key Lime Pie is a must, and one of the top spots to try it is at Southernmost Key Lime Shop.

The friendly staff provides excellent service and a great shopping experience with an array of local-made treats and a selection of clothes and accessories for sale.
No lie, my entire party agreed this was the best piece of Key Lime Pie we tried in Key West! It was such a happy moment. I don’t think I even had time to take a picture of it because we ate it so fast. Delish- just the right amount of sour/tangy lime and not overboard, and a good crust and whipped cream, it was marvelous. The shop itself is very cute as well, they actually sell a lot of Kermits Key Lime shop products from down the road which I found interesting. I enjoyed how they had a lot of Ernest Hemingway pictures up on the walls- the hero of Key West! They also have ice cream and coffee for those other cravings you may have. Highly recommend the KLP!

This wasn’t on our plan but noticed it while walking on the street. I wanted to try key lime pie in key west and accidentally stumbled on this place which had best key lime pie. I have never had key lime pie before so I cannot compare but it was delicious. Small cozy place which has few chairs outside. We sat outside eating our pie and drinking tea. Our son had ice cream. We saw few chickens running around which reminded me of my childhood back in India where chickens were just part of life in villages.

As we’re waiting we are told before ordering the only thing they will serve us is either on a cone or in a cup b/c they are closing. So we’re like ok I get it your closing no big deal we only want ice cream. We order and pay $40 for 4 cups of ice cream and the ice cream is delicious, but minutes after we order, as we are trying to finish it at table and we are told they have closed and we need to leave and eat our ice cream outside the restaurant. Completely rude staff and we weren’t being disruptive, just wanting to eat or ice cream we had just ordered. I understand they wanted to close up, but they could have started to close up and clean up while we finished up. I will never be back to this location and encourage everyone reading this to go elsewhere.

Ice cream and sorbet were good. Service was fine. Prices were RIDICULOUS. A mini - not small but mini - cup of ice cream and a mini - not small but mini - cup of sorbet, each barely reaching the top of the cup they were in, certainly not generous at all. And total came to over $19. I can’t imagine what it would cost if a family of five went there for good or normal sized ice cream cones!

Ordered one chocolate and one strawberry pint of ice cream. They sent me two strawberry. I ordered this through doordash. Try calling your phone and nobody answers it went to voicemail. Couldn't leave a voicemail please have voicemail is full. Try telling the doordash delivery driver and he kept on smiling at me saying yes and then realized he doesn't speak English at all. How does doordash hire somebody who can't speak English working in an English-speaking country why does a company even have a phone if they refuse to answer it

I'm sure the ice cream here is as good as the other stores, but the service was horrible. Some of our group still ordered but out of principle I had to leave without ordering. Plenty of other ice cream sellers!

Sales lady was unwilling to give us a little empty extra cup to let us give a spoon of our ice cream to our 10month old so she could nibble on a bit of ice cream on her own. Forced us to buy one cup of ice cream for 8.09$. Which is obviously way too much for a baby. Ice cream was standard Hagen dasz obviously so two stars
Sven D — Google review
Prices were too high. One scoop was $8!! Crazy! Certainly not consistent with all the other desserts and food we ate in KW.

I got the mango sorbet and mint chip sundae - both delicious! Everyone complains about the price but seems to forget the pints of ice cream in the grocery stores are always pricey. It’s worth it for a vacation treat.

I’m blessed to say that I’ve had a lot of ice cream in my day. This is the best anywhere. Freshness is incredible. I enjoyed the coconut and pineapple the on the first visit. We had to go back and try more flavors. The strawberry did not disappoint! Don’t miss it!
Drew G — Google review
Hands down a staple of Key West! This ice cream was indeed homemade and the taste was absolutely amazing! Very humble people and friendly. Don’t visit without stopping by.. prices are reasonable too! Snickers, Cookie and cream and the coconut was my all star snack!

The owner recommended the peanut butter ice cream and WOW, I am so glad I listened! It’s rich, creamy, and absolutely loaded with that perfect peanut butter flavor without being too sweet. Every bite is smooth and indulgent, like peanut butter heaven in a cone. You can really tell it’s made with care and quality ingredients. Hands down, one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had and I never would have tried it if the owner hadn’t suggested it. 10/10 recommend!
Melinda S — Google review
While in the keys we wanted to stop for some ice cream . We found this spot and they had great reviews so we gave it a chance. I personally did not enjoy my ice cream and unfortunately neither anyone else. The ice cream is home made which means that it doesn’t have all the extra preservatives, however I melts ima second. Not even joking it water down immediately! The people were very nice. They do have great reviews. I would recommend to try for yourself, but it wasn’t for us. This spot is on a corner with a few sidewalk tables.

Authentic as it gets - the peanut butter ice cream was some of the best ice cream I've ever had. Period. Texture was perfect, the taste was the perfect blend of peanut butter and cream. And then pair it with the banana ice cream with real banana pieces all throughout and it was INCREDIBLE. I will be back next time I'm in Key West!

Nestled next to the lively Tipsy Rooster, you can enjoy delightful live music while indulging in their delicious offerings. Guests rave about the creamy Cookie Monster ice cream and the irresistible mini donuts, especially flavors like cinnamon sugar and chocolate drizzle.
An amazing place, I must say!! We loved the mini donuts. They're hot and fresh. My favorite are the chocolate donuts. We've been there almost everyday during our trip to Keywest. Will definitely go back here when we're there.

A Sweet End to Our Key West Getaway! My husband and I stumbled upon Rooster Treats on our last day in Key West, and what a delightful find it was! I truly wish we had discovered it sooner so we could have gone back for more. I opted for the Cookie Monster ice cream, which was absolutely delicious – creamy and packed with flavor. However, the real showstopper was my husband's order: the Cookie Monster mini donuts. Oh my goodness, those were hands-down amazing! Fresh, warm, and utterly addictive, they were a perfect bite of heaven. Beyond the incredible treats, the atmosphere at Rooster Treats was fantastic. We loved the lively vibe, with music drifting over from next door creating a really fun backdrop to our sweet indulgence. The owner was incredibly friendly and genuinely grateful for our business, which always makes an experience even better. We also felt the prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality and generous portions – we definitely got our money's worth. If you're in Key West and looking for a fantastic dessert spot with delicious treats and a welcoming atmosphere, Rooster Treats is an absolute must-visit. Don't make our mistake – go early and go often!

The donuts were a nice mid-day treat. We ordered birthday cake + fruity pebbles and the total came to about $9. 🍩✨ Ice cream flavors are limited and no cones are available, but you can customize your soft serve with a variety of wet and dry toppings.

Really cute spot with fresh donuts. The donuts mainly taste good because they are hot and fresh. The ice cream is okay, more icy than creamy in my opinion, not my favorite. Nice chairs and places to sit down and enjoy the treats. Very close to the southernmost point.
Elizabeth H — Google review
Super Slow to get the product (20 min on line) on Friday night. They make donuts fresh but they were good (cookie monster donuts) 1 person working. I had the key lime ice cream but it was more ice than creamy which was a little disappointing. It didn't taste really like a true creamy ice cream. My kids got the key lime pie ice cream, the Duval crawl, shark bite and chocolate paradise. They liked the ice cream all which were server with pralines. The ice cream was average price. They have a small area to sit and enjoy your order.

Probably because it is closer to the where the cruises dock, the prices are a bit high. But we liked the outdoor seating and enjoyed the ice cream on a warm day. I tried the orange sherbet and it was good. The kiddo tried a cookie dough Ice cream and he liked it as well. The lady who served it was kind and overall we had a good experience.

If Rude and nasty was a person! In an attempt to treat my family to ice cream and patronize this establishment, we witnessed the lady serve customers before us and then opened a package of cones with her bare hands. There was zero hand hygiene performed. I inquired about what I witnessed, and the lady became defensive. I didn’t want to disappoint our children, so I instructed them to order cups. My 10 year old was the first to order, but the lady was “bucking” at him and and rolling her eyes. I asked her to please not be rude to my children and was told “you either order and deal with the way I am speaking….. or”. I didn’t stick around to hear the rest. So rude! Stay away.

Good ice cream at a rip off price. We were waiting for our jet ski tour and decided to share a scoop of ice cream, we wish we would have read the reviews before going. I get this is a tourist town but wow, $9 for a one scoop in a waffle cone...it wasn’t that good. Also, we asked for sprinkles and got what you see pictured, less than a teaspoon for $1.00 extra! We told her we would not be paying for the extra “topping”. We will never return.

River Street Sweets is a popular candy shop known for its homemade pralines and a variety of treats such as bear claws, glazed pecans, ice cream, and caramel corn made in-house. The aroma of fresh pralines lures visitors from blocks away. Visitors can watch the candy-making process, sample some treats, and purchase their favorites. The shop offers an inviting atmosphere with friendly staff and a colorful interior.
I am obsessed with this store! It’s such a vibe and smells so good! Specially when they make pralines! Anytime I am craving Key Lime ice cream, I come here because they have the best one on the island in my opinion! Their pralines are amazing and the selection of candy you can get is amazing! You’ve got to stop on and try the pralines and ice cream for sure!
Mermaid S — Google review
Walking into River Street Sweets in the heart of old Key West feels like stepping back in time—in the best possible way. As a kid, I remember visiting sweet shops just like this one, where the shelves were lined with endless rows of chocolates, candies, and handmade confections. Sadly, most of those magical places have disappeared… but not here. This shop captures that old-school candy store charm perfectly—and somehow improves on it. From the moment you walk in, the air is rich with the scent of caramel and chocolate, and you’re greeted with warm smiles and samples (yes, samples!). You can watch the candy-making process live, which adds a whole layer of excitement—especially for kids. The pralines are world-class, but honestly, you could spend an hour just deciding between all the fudge flavors, chocolate-dipped everything, brittles, gummies, saltwater taffy, and so much more. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are literally hundreds of options. Even though it’s in a high-traffic tourist area, I’ve never had to wait long, and the shop is well organized, clean, and fun to browse. The staff is friendly and patient, even when your kids are bouncing back and forth trying to decide what to get. I make it a point to stop in every time I visit Key West—it’s become a tradition—and my kids now look forward to it as much as I did when I was their age. It’s nostalgic, delicious, and a genuine highlight of every trip. Highly recommend if you’re in Key West. Even if you don’t have a sweet tooth, you’ll leave with a smile.

Very expensive to get a bag and choose candy, it was over $30 for us and we didn’t get that much. The taffy was gross, super soft and sticky even after putting them in a fridge overnight. Some of the wrappers were not closed up all of the way, and most of them were sticky on the outside. I don’t recommend getting candy there, maybe their ice cream is better.

Had the ice cream and the fudge, both were very good. 4 of 5 stars instead of 5, because 2 cones and 2 pieces of fudge was almost $40.00. I know it’s on Duval street, but my lord !!
Alex — Google review
It’s a lot of fun. Ice cream was good had a pretty neat selection. I would recommend it. Just don’t go out of your way for it. I would love to tell you all of you go to try the Carmel corn. They make it in house and watching them do it is pretty cool. I will say the atmosphere and aroma are both very inviting. Is it something that I would put on a travel blog no. But if you’re staying for a few weeks or even live here, it’s definitely worth a try. The other thing I especially loved about. It was the air conditioning. It gets really hot in the Florida Keys. So having AC in shade is a treat on its own.

I don’t do this often, but this was a brutal experience. We love Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, but the service at this location was very disappointing. My husband and I arrived 20 minutes prior to their listed closing time (11:00pm). There was one female employee behind the counter on her phone, who greeted us, and stated we would be helped momentarily. We then watched this employee walk back and forth behind the counter, while playing on her phone. My husband and I continued to wait patiently, while she continued for about ten minutes to ignore us. Twice, she poked her head around the corner towards the establishments bathrooms, calling for a second employee to come take our order. Finally the second employee showed up, and took our order. All to find the shake machine was “broken”. Honestly, the shake machines appeared to have just been cleaned for the evening. My biggest complaint isn’t about the machines, it’s about how the employee playing on her phone wouldn’t help us and continued to yell for another employee to help us instead.

A do-not-miss experience. Easy parking in Searstown plaza away from Key West crowds -- located conveniently on the drive in or out of Key West, La Michoacana is not anything like your standard, American ice cream shop. Not much on looks, but wowwie! It's like walking into a tropical taste treat of fruity and creamy ice creams and rich sorbet-like flavors made with yummy, fresh fruits, cream, and more. Innovative combos. We loved the Hot Banana -- a sundae with vanilla ice cream, warm caramelized cooked-banana sauce with real banana pieces supplemented by fresh banana slices. Also the more exotic, huge cup of mango sorbet combined with strawberries-and-cream ice cream. Not Baskin Robbins typical strawberry but thick streaks of real, deep red strawberry puree in an unusual, delicious vanilla ice cream topped with small cubes of real mango and I'm not sure what else, but it was super yummy. We didn't get to try the spectacular "popcicles" (shaped more like ice cream bars on sticks). They belong in a modern art museum. Exotic flavors, some embedded with big fruit cross sections. There are ice cream, dairy-free flavors, and huge shave-ice type snow cones drenched in creamy or fruity sauces. If savory is on your menu, the shop also has a few mini-meal treats -- large cups of a saucy Mexican street corn concoction, a flat-bread/pizza-type slice piled with some wild toppings, and more. Think Haagan Dazs does Acapulco at the corner of Mexico City and Sears parking lot!
