27 Best Cafes in Key West

“Wow! We are blown away with Marquesa hotel. From the beautiful king suite poolside room, to the delicious cookies at noon, and the amazing staff… Great job! We’ve been coming to Key West two times a year every year for the past 10 to 15 years and we’ve stayed at many beautiful properties, but this one wins above them all. I highly, highly recommend this property. We will be returning guests for sure!“

“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“

“If in Key West, you must visit Frenchie's for coffee and breakfast. The coffee and breakfast are great. The pastries are extraordinary (better than in Paris IMO). Try the almond croissant - wow! The cosy ambiance and friendly service top it all off. Wonderful!!! Highly recommended.“

“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 !“

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

“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!!“

“This place has the BEST iced cafe con leche in town. I went to Lucy’s Cafe every day on my trip. Their lemonade, mint lemonade, mango smoothie, and wraps are delicious. This place also has a beautiful outside area that is away from the crowd. The owner was extremely friendly and even remembered my order. I honestly think that Lucy’s Cafe shouldn’t have anything but 5 stars. If you’re in Key West it’s definitely worth a try!!!“

“We are early risers, even on vacay, so I searched“coffee near me open now,” and saw Sandy’s. Being a huge fan of Cuban café, I was so excited to see that they open at 5am! Hands down, the best Cortadito we’ve ever had. We grabbed a Cuban sandwich to wait out a small rain storm and I’ve never been more thankful for rain, because it was absolutely delicious. The BREAD…iykyk. We’ve found our early morning spot, and will definitely be back!“

“Best chicken quesadillas ever!“

“One of the owners Dennis is so very accommodating. He is one of our favorite people formerly of TandT. Wonderful gentleman. So happy the business is so successful.“

“As a local, this is one of my favorite coffee shops. It’s close by, has a wonderful cafe con leche, and very reasonable prices. Plus their fresh baked items are a great way to start the day. Highly recommend supporting local and coming here!“

“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.“

“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 😀“

“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!“

“Great little food stand at the Windward Hyatt Vacation Club that’s a perfect microcosm of traditional Key West foods! We tried the conch fritters, coconut shrimp, BLT burger, and smoked Gouda mac and cheese bites - everything was absolutely delicious. The woman working the counter was so friendly and pleasant, which made the experience even better. Perfect spot for a tasty bite while staying at the resort and experiencing authentic local flavors. Highly recommend!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“a step above. food and presentation are excellent. many fresh juice selections as well.“

“Corner Sandwich Shop is a small but very cozy spot that immediately gives you a homely vibe. The sandwiches are really tasty: fresh bread, generous fillings, and you can tell the ingredients are good quality. I especially liked that the portions are large and filling — perfect for a quick bite before exploring Key West. The staff is friendly and efficient, even when it gets busy. Prices are quite reasonable for the area. No unnecessary frills — just simple, honest, and delicious food.“

“Their coffee is the best! I visited in person once and am now hooked on their love ln espresso. I order it online and only use their coffee. They even send a little personalized note in the package!“

“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.“

“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 😀“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Great food and drinks! Service was outstanding!“
