One of our favourite meals in Key West. I had salmon and my wife had the mahi mahi dinner special and both were fantastic. You could tell the food was all prepared fresh. We will be back soon!

Lucky to find such a great vegan meal in key west! There were plenty of options to choose from. My wife, our friend and I got all the vegan appetizers and split them all along with the kale Caesar salad. Everything was delicious. Will definitely be back if in the area again.

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.

I invited a friend and our lunch was perfect. He ordered pretty much all vegan and I vegetarian. Service was great. Can't wait to go back. Nice and wide open inside seating, very comfortable. A little pricey, but we'll worth it.
