Wonderful server. Eclectic atmosphere like many small cages in Key West. Food was excellent.
So delicious! A hidden gem
This place is a small, hole in the wall spot near the Kino sandal store. My husband and I like to find quiet, little spots that boast good eats and this was one of them!

Lucy's Cafe is a small, friendly, Cuban-influenced mom & pop style cafe, tucked away from the busy tourist areas in a quiet courtyard near Mallory Square. It offers an authentic experience that feels like a step into another world. The shrimp tacos are excellent, made with freshly caught shrimp and served on a bed of green peppers, onions, cilantro, and cabbage. The restaurant is also known for its steak burrito, packed with lots of veggies and topped with salsa verde. Customers praise the quick, friendly service and recommend pairing the meal with an iced cafe con leche or iced coffee with milk, both made perfectly. The breakfast options are good, including eggs, pancakes, bacon, and Cuban bread at reasonable prices. The cozy setting includes indoor and outdoor seating, making it a quiet escape from the busy streets. The restaurant is kid-friendly and located on a pedestrian square with space for children to run around. Conch fritters and pork tacos are also highly recommended, with sauces described as phenomenal and full of flavor. Many customers have enjoyed the lobster roll, describing it as tender and among the best in town, often complemented by refreshing smoothies. Overall, Lucy’s Cafe is a top choice for breakfast and lunch, offering generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere.
