We just can’t have enough of this place!!!! Been going back several times since we found it. The food was sooo delicious… Mexican chorizo omelette was so satisfying.. grouper sandwich was fresh and so large in quantity. Cortadito hit the spot.. friendly service; relaxing ambiance… most importantly, their key lime pie is the best I have ever had!! Will for sure go back next time we visit KW <3

Food is excellent! Best meal we’ve had in Key West. There was only one waitress so be patient but the food is worth it.

The servers were friendly, and the portion sizes were generous. We tried the Cuban steak sandwich and the Cuban grilled chicken (pollo asado). At first, I thought the pollo asado would only come with a single quarter leg, but when my order arrived, it included a quarter leg (thigh and drumstick) along with a large chicken breast, plus rice, beans, coleslaw, and fried plantains. The flavors were fantastic! I highly recommend this place if you're looking to experience authentic Cuban food in Key West.

The please is nice my breakfast platter was good the only thing I wish if they invest with paper cup for coffee , they serve it hot coffee with foam cup and it’s the worst cup you serve hot drink I drink little bit and left it . Over all it’s good place for eat and cold drink

Fajitas, Birria tacos and iced coffee was the best we’ve ever had. So happy to have found this gem of a spot. Service was exceptional!

If you're looking for the best café con leche with a side of amor, this is the place. Every time I visit Key West, it’s my first stop when I arrive and my last before I leave. The food is amazing, with a full menu that covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner — everything is fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The owner, Caroline, is incredibly warm and welcoming. She always greets you with a smile and makes you feel like part of the family. A true gem in Key West and a must-visit every time.

Absolutely delicious! I will give it 10 stars if I could! The owner does it all, she’s the hostess and waitress and comes and visit you at each table. She took pictures for us. She was so kind and helpful. The food was. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. Off the beaten path, a little bit, not in the main part of town, but definitely worth it.
