The front of the café is off the Overseas Hwy but limited parking, so we went around back for additional spaces and a back door into the café. We were so excited to have some gelato on this brutal hot day. The owner greeted us upon entry and noticed a few customers eating. Severely disappointed that no gelato was offered today even though the business is called Michel's Artisanal Gelato. They offer a decent selection of fresh pastry. We bought a banana muffin for $5 as a snack for the ride to Key West and left defeated. read more

Cute French bistro in the keys. Parked in the lot in the back. A few clothing outfits on racks at the rear of the bistro. Customers were eating at the tables and had to get a muffin because they stopped making gelato. The muffin was very sweet with lots of nuts. read more

Michele is a great owner/host/barista. Went twice on our weekend trip. Will be back.

New to the area decided to drop in for lunch. Order the Lyon. The salami was ok it was sliced way too thick and very hard to chew along with the baguette being old.. The bread was as hard as a rock and the sandwich it self had a ton of Dijon way too much.. I guess this is as good as it would get down here... Was Ehh wouldn't return read more

I love everything about Bitton, including the wonderful owner that takes such care and pride to make the most amazing foods and sweets. If you can drop in and take goodies to go I highly recommend it. read more

A must do!!!! A gem in the Keys that offers French pastries, ginormous crepes (pick your ingredients), sandwiches, and a delicious coffee bar; complete with friendly service and a welcoming vibe. We stopped by for breakfast one morning. The pastries and gelato looked fantastic. I ordered a ham and Gruyère croissant. The hubby went with the continental, a croissant (for the road), and a mango coconut crepe, which came with a small cup of mango gelato. The Chef is great, super fast, and makes a mean cup of coffee! We will definitely add this to our list of favorites for breakfast or lunch here in the keys. read more

The food is good. I had the strawberry-banana with Nutella crepe. It was decent but couldn't really taste anything other than the Nutella. It was a lot and clouding any tastes of the crepe or fruit. The wife had the shrimp quiche and said it was okay. It stands out as not many down there with same offerings. The place could use a good cleaning. But when you only have a crepe, a small shrimp quiche, a tea, and chocolate milk and the bill is $48 and by the time he added his own tip of $10 making our breakfast for 2 coming in at $58, it is very expensive breakfast for what you get. The service was not the best as the rest of the experience was very underwhelming. read more

Wonderful croissants (butter, chocolate, custard), raspberry pastry, great Americano! Would definitely return to try more food - quiche, crepe, you name it. Ambience is much like a diner with art for sale. read more

Sticker Shock! I came in and picked up three tiny pastries. I did not dine in and I even took my food home and heated it myself. My total was $19 and change, and I was not handed an itemized receipt. Even farmer's markets aren't charging these insane prices. I later went on Yelp and discovered this has been an on going issue, and the owner tacks on a 20 service charge even if you get food TOGO. I know things cost more in the Florida Keys but this guy is pushing it-I've been to France so not sure how this baker justifies his food prices. The pastries were phenomenal, but I think the cost for what you get is completely ridiculous. read more

Nice and cool inside! Chef is really nice and friendly! He's the only one servicing everyone but does so in a very timely and friendly manner. Wife got a mocha, Nutella croissant and the ham quiche with salad. Loved it! I got the Oslo sandwich, baguette was very good, tomatoes were juicy and smoked salmon delicious! I also got a banana walnut muffin which was very good as well! Then we each had a small gelato which was excellent! read more

The food was good. The ambience was nice. The service was average. The prices were high with up charges for gluten free and a $5 fee for sharing an entree. Water was only available for purchase. The 20% tip was included and the tip was calculated on the total which included tax. Too pricey for my taste for breakfast. read more

Great breakfast croissants and bakery items are spot on. The coffee is rich, strong and flavorful, each cup hand ground; we took a bag to go. read more

Let me start off by mentioning that the food is delicious. My husband and I stopped here for brunch and it came highly recommended by another couple from our hotel/resort. We were created right away and when walking it the smell of fresh pastries was amazing. My husband ordered a crepe, I had spinach quiche and we both had a smoothie. The owner/waiter/cook was quick to get us our food. Portions were generous. When my husband went to pay we both were shocked that our brunch was almost $90! I know to some that doesn't seem like a lot, but we realized that there was an automatic 20% tip added to the bill. It was a shock for sure. read more

Born in South Africa I just love this place! The savory crepes(Pannekoek) is amazing! Service is super fast and polite, welcoming and makes you feel so excited. The smell of fresh crepes are so comforting and the ambiance is like you are in Europe! read more

Still incredible. I ordered a sandwich, cafe au lait and some croissants to go. Delicious. We stop here every time we visit the keys, and it's worth the trip. It's kind of an unassuming little place. Wonderful baked goods!! The owner is very nice and the service was prompt and professional. Can't wait to return! read more

Great cafe in Islamadora. The owner runs the shop very efficiently. The mushroom quiche was delicious and came with a large side salad. My friend enjoyed his spinach crepe (made fresh to order). The croissant was better than any I've had in Miami. Very good coffee too. Highly recommend this place for breakfast or brunch in particular. Will be back for their house made Dijon mustard. read more

Driving down to Key West, we wanted to stop by to get some breakfast. We stopped here and ordered Croque Matin, Katie, and Key Lime pie. The food was fantastic and fueled us for the 2+ hour drive we had to endure in order to reach Key West. The only reason I have to knock it down one star is because when I asked for water, he decided to give me a bottle of European mineral water instead. I thought this was normal, until other customers came in and he poured water into their cups. This was incredibly annoying as I didn't want the fancy water and he didn't even ask what kind of water I wanted. Another annoyance was the already included 20% tip - I get that it's a thing around here, but I would rather the restaurant increase the price of the food to pay for living wages instead of an automatic tip percent. read more

Bitton Bistro Cafe - Strawberry, Banana and Nutella crepe. - Creperies Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

We stopped by on the way to Key West just after Christmas. The poor owner was the only one working in the whole restaurant -- taking orders, cooking, cleaning, ringing up, etc -- but he did an admirable job keeping up with the rush with a positive attitude and excellent food. Eventually another person came to help. We really enjoyed the crepes as well as the gluten-free option for someone in our party with an allergy. read more

On our way to keywest we decided get breakfast at this place. This is one man show and he is quick. They have patio furniture but they do not serve outside. You have take a to-go if you want to eat outside. We were in a group of six. We ordered i e tea, latte, mocha, veg sandwich, midi sandwich, katoe sandwich, pancake, croissant. Tuna sandwich was a bit dry but fresh. Everything was good in taste and the service was super quick. The man serving was super efficient and was serving and preparing for multiple people. Overall a great place to have a quick stop and get some juice bites. The restroom was super clean hence another reason to stop at this place if you plan to take a restroom break. read more

The quiche was absolutely wonderful! And, the coffee! You should try it! It's enough for two. read more

Very good and the service was great. I got the banana, strawberry, Nutella, buckwheat crepe (a good gluten free option). I didn't try the pastries but they looked good. The savory goat cheese, spinach, and mushroom crepe was also very tasty. The pricing was a little questionable. read more

I almost do not want to review Bitton, because it may cause me to have to wait in line here. From the outside this place has a quiet unassuming simplistic elegance. Much like the owner. The inside is perfect and what a French Bistro should be. Spotless, and warm atmosphere. The aroma will hypnotize you, and the coffee is best in the Keys. So I ordered the spinach quiche and a freshly baked croissant . Quiche came with a salad with a wonderful balsamic dressing. I took a box of pastries home to the house, and will return to order lunch for our fishing trip today. This gentleman understands consistency, and quality. read more

Very bad service. Waiter tried to receive our order 5 times -- he always distracted and went to another tables. He couldn't recommend us something and talked very unfriendly with us. Food was so so. I took croissant with smocked salmon and needed to add cream cheese by myself. Finally we couldn't separate our bill and after that sent money each other... Highly do not recommend. read more

This place is amazing! It's a one man shop who is super fast! We seated ourselves and grabbed menus. The owner/server/chef/cashier took our drink orders and made all the coffees right away! He then took our food order and started cooking right away! Everything we ordered was delicious! From the salad with the quiche to the sweet and savory crepes! We will for sure hit up this place again while here and in the future! Service was phenomenal! Way better than chain restaurants who do not care for their customers! read more

The Bistro is deceiving from the outside. It wasn't charming, until we walked inside. We tried it because we wanted to try something new on our way out of town. The owner was selling art on the walls throughout the cafe, it appeared to support local as well. The owner bakes specials daily. We tried a mushroom quiche, the flavor was perfect, portions plentiful. Also ordered a blueberry muffin with fresh smoothies. The muffin had perfect flavor and the smoothies were perfect with fresh ingredients. Tables set up for customers to enjoy their meal. The owner served us and took the time to make a recommendation, as well as explain his menu. It was the perfect local experience. A must try. read more

Fantastic food great service and nice spot Stopped in several times first time the chef actually had help Up till now it's been only the chef Can't drive through islamada without stopping Homemade pastries and crepes are awesome read more

Stop in this place for a cup of coffee it reminds me of a little cafe in Europe very cute inside I am sitting outside right on the main highway it's loud but some what calming in a way.

Bitton Bistro Cafe - My breakfast - Creperies Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

My girlfriend ordered a gluten-free crepe with egg and ham, egg was uncooked. When we mentioned it he offered to microwave it and brought it back without an apology. Still inedible, left on the plate...still no acknowledgement or apology. Floors are filthy. Bathrooms are filthy. Ordered water but refused to bring tap water, insisting that we buy a bottled water. Terrible customer service. read more

Great crepes! Cute little storefront. Owner does everything, so make sure there isn't a wait

Probably one of the best one man shows I've seen in a long time! This was probably my favorite breakfast during our whole trip! There was one guy running the whole restaurant, cooking, taking orders, serving, and taking payment. He finally got some help as we were leaving but it didn't effect our experience at all, he was killing it. You had the option to stand and order to go or take a seat and be helped then. We took a seat and were able to look over the menu and decide by the time he got to us. I had the pineapple juice and a bella (strawberries cinnamon and sugar) and my boyfriend had the Lorraine (ham and gruyere cheese) with a caramel latte. Everything we had was amazing, the perfect way to start my birthday! If I lived there it would be my regular spot! If you like crepes then Definitely check out this spot! read more

Bitton Bistro Cafe - Savory crêpes and more... - Creperies Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

ALERT !!!!!!! Watch the menu prices suddenly change upon paying. The food wasn't terrible, but it wasn't the best. The cashier who is also the cook gives himself a service fee or AKA tip for taking your order and cooking your food, which was a total surprise to me. I don't know maybe it's a French thing, but whatever it is, the prices on the menu need to be updated before you have some pissed off customer demand his money back by all means necessary. What we ordered Citron crepe 8 Bella crepe 14 Orangetina drink 4.25 Total 26.25 plus tax some how my our bill was $38.00 Tip for future customers: Order to GO ! No hidden service fee. read more

I had a crepe. Wow was it delicious! I can't stop thinking about it and it was 3 days ago! Hubby had a sandwich which he didn't love but he isn't writing the review. Service was slow. Seems they need more help. But we will be back read more

The smell of fresh pastries when I walked in was a good sign that did not disappoint. I havent had a quiche in years - and the mushroom quiche was outstanding. Tasted husband's savory crepe - it was equally delicious (cheese, spinach). Portions were generous and the quiche came with a fresh salad. Coffee was full flavored. Of course we had to try croissants! Pan au chocolate and and almond croissant. Perfect flakey, butteryness. and fillings were spot on. Came back on our way out of town for more coffee and croissants - got plain croissant this time and it was my favorite. read more

We love the food here. The homemade soups, crepes, and sandwiches are excellent. Unfortunately, the greedy owner has made us not want to come back again. No matter how hard I try to keep our bill at a reasonable amount, we can't seem to walk out of there without a $70 bill for two people. I am a local and offended that a local restaurant would take advantage of its customers this way. I have tried getting itemized bills but the prices are several dollars per item difference than what the menu shows. As others have stated a 20% tip is added whether you want it or not (no matter how big or small your party is). It is even included on "to go" items. I hate that I can't eat here anymore. It's kind of like hanging out with a friend who's is enjoyable to be around but you know they are going to steal from you at the same time. The owner is digging his own grave as most people don't want to be scammed on menu prices and other hidden fees when they go out to breakfast. I love the food but I hate be swindled out of my hard earned money and taken advantage of in the process. read more

Would not recommend. Will not be back. Great for tourists Well documented tip gouging - 20% added automatically. It's not uncommon for me to tip 20%+ but not when I have to yell my order over the counter, get my own to go box and are otherwise ignored by the "server". $60 for 2 sandwiches and 2 deserts is already a stretch. The auto $12 add was the tipping point :). $70 lunch with not booze? I think not Food was decent but nothing special. Prices charged also don't match the menu Update: Fun fact - I learned from another local server the owner keeps the tips for himself. The staff does not receive them. How very keysey of him. read more
