27 Best Cafes in Key West

“One of the best hotel and cafe restaurants in key west“

“Delicious donuts and variety. The ice coffee was smooth and the staff very friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Heads up…. Payed for a latte, received a regular coffee no foam. Coffee was weak. What surprised me the most was that they were adamant that it was a latte. Other than that, the food was delicious and the pastry’s were out of this world. Happy dining“

“It has such a cool vibe, the staff were super friendly and professional and the food and drinks were so fresh and delicious on top of being really gorgeous! 💗 I also loved the added touch of the dog bowls on the side walk, MANY dogs stooped to grab and quick drink. I recommend 10/10 !“

“This place was phenomenal all around. The owner greeted us, management all greeted us, and staff was attentive all around. Lobster pizza and the street corn pizza were phenomenal. I loved the Pina colada key lime pie. It is by far the best key lime I have tried. The view, the chickens, all of it!!“

“Lovely place for breakfast! Me and my family ate eggs, pancakes, bacon and bread for a really reasonable price. The coffee was really good as well! The two people who ran it were really friendly and were happy to talk to us about Key West after we ate. It is also in a beautiful courtyard with seats both outside and inside.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Highly recommend it, friendly and fast service! Will be back for great ice-cream , cappuccino and more ;)?☕️“

“Best Cuban Sandwich anywhere!“

“Delicious food and courteous service. An authentic gem.“

“amazing mocktail place with fresh real fruit ! couldn't ask for a cleaner and more refreshing beverage. they also sell flowers and beignets!“

“Dare I say, this is the BEST place in all of KW for breakfast and tacos. Couldn’t recommend more, delicious and very filling. The staff is fantastic, nice seating in the back, a go to for locals and off the beaten path. Breakfast burrito is a staple with a cafe con leche - perfection. Don’t skip out on the empanadas or smoothies either! My #1 food recommendation for breakfast/lunch.“

“My husband have spent every day of our 7 day vacation trying at least 1 new coffee shop in town. I wasn't sure about this place mainly cause the coffee is served on a Styrofoam hot chocolate cup, so I thought it was be just a boring cup of Joe.

But just a reminder to not judge a book by its cover... After trying 7 different coffee places, this is still our favorite coffee. The actually coffee(espresso) it self is just a perfect taste. I am not sure if it's the roast or how they prepare it but we wish we can take it home for sure.

They do not have flavors, of you are looking for that and overly sweet lattes this is NOT the place for you. But if you enjoy true coffee flavor not just milk and sugar, this place is it. We had the cordadito and it came in a large cup!

The steak and cheese sandwich has the biggest piece of steak on it too. No skimping in that department so if your looking for a filling well priced breakfast this is it“

“We had the BEST experience here while on vacation this weekend! Delicious overnight oats, acai bowl, and sandwiches, and amazing matcha tea. Such a cool environment, and friendly employees. I wish we were local and we'd be regulars!“

“If you're staying at the Hyatt, this is the only place to grab a bite or beverage on property. I had a strawberry daiquiri, shrimp on a skewer (6) and chicken wings (6). The drink was excellent the rest typical bar food, not bad, not fabulous. Staff was friendly and helpful.“

“Great place. The ladies that worked the Greene St. shop are so sweet and friendly. When I worked for the Conch Tour Train it was my go-to at the Stop 3 😁 I've moved since mid 2022. If I get the chance to visit, I will definitely stop in for a cup of coffee and their delicious emenadas 😀“

“Lobster rolls were Amazing!!! Best we have ever had because of the buttery rolls and tons of lobster.“

“enjoyed the custard and delicious guava and cheese pastries every day for our week long vacation in KW. as good as the food is, the service is better. definitely recommend.“

“This place is amazing! The owner, is very accommodating and as nice as you can find. She also makes sure to hire people that emulate her style. The coffee is wonderful, regardless of what your preference is. She has all kinds of snacks, baked goods, etc. Get a java treat and grab a bench to look out over the water and Sunset Key. Great spot to enjoy!“

“5 STARS! I found this alfresco cafe in Key West because it looks like Florida. Colors, open air, music, food, great vibe! Then came the food. I had a salmon crepe that was huge and a cappuccino that made my day! Next time in town my girlfriend and I WILL be coming back!“

“Fantastic establishment on upper Duval Street in Key West. Amazing selection of adult beverages and soft drinks, cigars, tobacco, and souvenirs. The atmosphere is chill. The service is friendly.
Though I did not eat, their menu and the food I saw served looked enticing.
Cuban Deli is from 8-4 daily featuring breakfast and sandwiches. Pizza is offered too!
If you like cigars, as I do, the selection is extensive. From classic brands to key lime pie flavored stogies (outstanding key lime pie aroma) among others, you’re sure to find a winner.
Seating on the porch is perfect for people watching as are the lounge areas on street level.
I picked out a fine torpedo-reasonably priced-and a Cigar City Brewery Maduro beer. I was surprised when they brought out some peanuts and green olives for me to snack on. Great combo.
They also have hookahs and many floors of hookah tobacco to enjoy.
Point Break Cafe, Cigar Factory & Hookah Bar is highly recommended. They are generally open until midnight.“

“I booked this hotel for my daughter and friends. They had nothing but praise for the property. It was clean, staff extremely friendly and helpful and the location was perfect. If they get a chance to re-visit Key West, they expressed that they will re-book the same place.“

“What a lovely place to spend an afternoon soaking up sun, enjoying time by the ocean! We were blessed with some fun times in the sunshine…. Swimming and snorkeling, great food/refreshments at the cafe, chairs and umbrellas available for rent at a reasonable price, and beach attendants who went out of their way to provide a relaxing stay. Thank you!!“

“We stayed down the block at a AirBnB so naturally got coffee and breakfast our first morning. It was so delicious we ate breakfast there every morning except for one (we had to leave for the ferry before they opened, so we ate dinner there that night!) All the food was amazing! Well seasoned, fresh, flavorful, and portions were huge! The coffee was perfect, I really loved the cortadito and milk espreso. The staff was friendly and offered recommendations if needed.“

“I’ve driven by The Corner Sandwich Shop in Key West many times over my last vacation and every time, I noticed locals lined up or picking up sandwiches. That’s always a good sign, so on this trip, I made it a point to stop by—and I’m glad I did!

This is a true walk-up window spot, with a handful of outdoor counter seats and a menu posted on boards flanking the order window. Simple, unassuming, and exactly the kind of local gem you hope to find on vacation.

I ordered the steak sandwich and it was perfect. A generous portion, packed with flavor and great texture. The griddled beef was tender and savory, paired with grilled onions, melted cheese, fresh tomato, and the unexpected crunch of potato sticks—an amazing touch that brought everything together.

My wife and kids tried the Cuban sandwich and absolutely devoured it. What stood out was the way the pork was reheated—seared on the grill for a bit of crispy texture before being tucked into the sandwich. That little detail made a big difference in both flavor and mouthfeel.

It’s clear why the locals keep coming back. Great food, quick service, and zero fuss. If you’re in Key West and craving a satisfying sandwich, don’t miss this spot.“

“The food is healthy and delicious. Staff friendly and kind. You don’t need a “Loyalty Card” just add your phone number and use your perks as you please. Customers receive credits with each purchase. This is a healthy alternative to calorie laden meals. Incorporate a few trips to Date and Thyme in your weekly routine and your belly will smile. Mine gets happy with the Blueberry Bliss smoothie, organic apples (quick snack), espresso, the prepared foods (some make a great meal right on premises). There is ample seating and shade to keep you cool. Be cool my friends!“

“Great place. The ladies that worked the Greene St. shop are so sweet and friendly. When I worked for the Conch Tour Train it was my go-to at the Stop 3 😁 I've moved since mid 2022. If I get the chance to visit, I will definitely stop in for a cup of coffee and their delicious emenadas 😀“
