Our first meal in Key West was at the Cafe, and it was so unpleasant that it negatively colored our trip. My wife's a vegetarian, and we both love vegetarian food and casual, quirky restaurants. Based on the reviews, we figured this would be perfect. We stopped here for a late lunch, around 2:30.The place was dark and lifeless. The... more

Without a doubt, the most amazing restaurant in Key West. I have never had a meal I did not walk away thinking, "This food is the most creative and delicious I have ever had." Trust me, you won't ever miss the meat. The flavors are fabulous. The pizzas are to die for, the clams the best we have ever had... more

Wow, this place was a life saver in Key West! As a vegetarian, it's hard to find good food in a sea-food town. The food and drinks were excellent. They have vegetarian and vegan food and also some sea-food. The servers were friendly and the presentation of the food was very appealing. The price was right for the quality of... more

Would I go back? Yes, the food was quite amazing. For lunch, I ordered a Blackened Tuna sandwich with fries. The tuna was amazing and I would go back just to have another. The fries were hand cut and pretty good. Hand cut fries taste different and have a different texture than regular fries so I can imagine someone thinking... more

The Cafe has the best food quality, consistency and atmosphere I have found in Key West. I've been going there a few times each month since they opened. Here are a few of the things that keep me going back. 1. A different fresh-brewed iced tea each time. Green, Orange Spiced, Ginger, Peppermint... There are usually at least two choices.... more

Our party loved loved The Cafe, cute, good lighting, nice wait staff, great food. Try the veggie burgers ( homemade) and their organic red quinoa salad with citrus-lavender vinaigrette, also their gyoza dumplings and polenta cakes were great. They have a cool tatami room to sit in as well for a little more privacy. All in all, a definite favorite... more

The food was good but the service was very slow. There were two other tables of two beside us. We ordered sauteed bok choy and it took over 40 minutes, while we watched the other tables get their whole meals. The Sangria was very good. Overall the prices were pretty good for Key West as well. more
