Croissants de France Bakery & Pastries – Stock Island
2025 Update Croissants de France on Duval Street has been closed for about a year or two now, so this Stock Island location now has an expanded menu. While they still have their assortments of croissants and quiches, you can now get sandwiches, omelettes, and more! Recently, Steven, Indie and I decided to grab lunch […]
Key West Coffee Shops
For a little island, Key West has a lot of coffee shops, some attached to bakeries, restaurants, delis and even grocery stores and laundry mats! But with all of the Cuban culture here, what else would one expect? Below is a list (not exhaustive) of some of the coffee spots on the island. So pop […]
Banana Cafe | Review
Banana Cafe has long been a favorite breakfast spot of mine. The small property located on Duval Street is a little cramped while dining, but that does not stop it from being so busy because of the amazing food and friendly service. Updated Review 2/4/2024 Our friends Tommy and Pam called us on our Sunday […]
Starbucks Key West
February 17, 2020 – It seems like people either love it or hate it, but with four different Starbucks locations on the island of Key West, I would say it is more love than hate. I often stop at the 24 North Hotel location on N. Roosevelt Blvd. for by Starbucks coffee fix. The baristas […]
The Green Pineapple Wellness Center
To paraphrase Rupert Holmes, I may not be into yoga, but I do still like stopping by the Green Pineapple Wellness Center on Duval Street on occasion. This space is not only a yoga studio, but it also boasts a boutique, a cafe and a spa. The idea of the Green Pineapple is to live […]

Bien Caribbean Latino Restaurant | Review
Located at 1000 Eaton Street, Bien is a very casual eatery with limited outdoor seating. They serve breakfast and lunch. I tried it for breakfast this weekend.

Sarabeth’s Key West | Review
I decided to bring my Mom to Sarabeth’s for breakfast on the last day of her visit to Key West recently. It had been awhile since I had eaten here and I was hoping that it was as good as I remembered it being. As I pulled up to the restaurant which is located on […]
Key Plaza Creperie | Review
Located right next to Big John’s Pizzeria in the Key Plaza Shopping Center on Roosevelt Blvd, the Key Plaza Creperie is a new restaurant, opened for about a month now. The nice thing about this location is that there is parking, a rarity for the downtown restaurants. My friend Pam and I had breakfast here the other […]
La Creperie | Review
La Creperie was the brainchild of a couple of the original chefs at Croissants de France, so you know that the food has to be great! Proprietresses Yolande Findlay and Sylvie Le Nouail both come from the Morhihan region of France referred to as Brittany, and so they describe their food as such. The fare […]
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 […]
