The Sugarloaf Food Company | Review

Anne Rodamer opened her shop, the Sugarloaf Food Company, in the summer of 2006 and ever since then she has picked up quite a following. She is one hell of a baker, and she makes a mean cup of coffee to boot! Anytime I  head up the Keys I make this my stop for coffee and a treat. Her cookies are amazing as are her cakes and pies. Her key lime pistachio cookies are becoming quite famous. I particularly love the breakfast goodies she bakes up daily, like the cinnamon buns, sticky buns, coffee cake, and muffins. YUMMY! Besides delicious baked goods, you can also treat yourself to one of their daily lunch specials like shepherds pie, creamy soups, or mini meat loaves.

If you are in the area, stop on in. Sugarloaf Food Company is located at 24171 Overseas Hwy on Summerland Key. The shop is open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 am to 3:00 pm. There is ample parking and even a few seats outside if you want to relax there with a cup of coffee or a frothy cappuccino. Anne is also available for catering small business events and parties.

Its Grouper Time In Key West May 1

Lots of weather last weekend really shook it up here in Key West but that did not stop the world sailfish championship from being underway. With perfect conditions earlier in the week these boats landed over 600 sailfish in three days of fishing. The winner was the crew on board the “Sandman” . Nice work guys. Speaking of tournaments, we always have a tournament happening here in Key West. The Key West Fishing Tournament sponsored by Dream Catcher Charters. A year round event that allows anyone and everyone to participate. No entry fee required and lots of fun. If you are visiting, go out fishing either on your own or on a Key West fishing charter, catch a nice fish or any fish. Make it a recorded catch.. Who knows you may win something at our awards banquet held in November..

Inshore things are still hot with the tarpon bite and the migration has begun. Tarpon are poring in from the south into the inlets and channels along the flats offering our visiting Key West fishing anglers a shot at landing the silver king. Check out the Florida Keys Tarpon Fishing Guide web site to learn more about tarpon fishing.

We still have some slots open for you to book in May.. Call Island Genn at 1-888-362-3474 She knows the schedule of every good fishing guide in Key West.

Key West Restaurant Review: Nine One Five Bistro and Wine Bar

Located at 915 Duval Street, this is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Key West. It is located on the quieter end of Duval Street, so area crowds and parking are not typically an issue here. Although, because the food and the wine selection are so amazing you do need to make reservations to eat here or you will probably be waiting a long time for a table. Nine One Five has both indoor and outdoor seating. In the summers I opt for inside seating to keep cool but in the winter sitting outside is very comfortable and great for people watching.

Key West Restaurant Review: The Hogfish Bar and Grill

The Hogfish Bar and Grill is hidden away in Safe Harbor on the Stock Island section of Key West. This is Key West old style! It is a locals hangout, but many a lucky tourist hear about this gem and make their way over to experience Key West the way it used to be. You can hang out at the bar, play some pool, listen to live entertainment in the evenings, or relax with a drink and some grub at a table overlooking the water.
