    Cuban Coffee Queen is a must try when you're in Key West. I stopped here during a bike ride for a colada and a smoothie and it hit the spot. I tried their "Re-hydrater" which mango, strawberries, orange juice, and pineapple juice, it was exactly what I needed. Super refreshing, hydrating, and not overly sweet. Perfect stop to cool down and recharge.

    When in South Florida it is a must to try Cuban coffee and food! There are a ton of places to choose from but personally we love a good mom and pop shop. This coffee spot is a must try in our book!! My husband and I went here before catching the ferry to travel to Dry Tortugas. We got there pretty early in the morning so we easily walked up and ordered but shortly after we arrived a line formed. It's just a little walk up window that has an array of items including coffee, smoothies, and Cuban food. They had a great deal which we got which was 1/2 of a Cuban breakfast sandwich and a coffee for I think $10. The sandwhich was delicious and the coffee was fantastic! We even went back to get a bag of coffee beans to go. The area around this little walk up cafe is very cute. It's close to the water. There are public restrooms about 15 feet away which I was shocked with how clean they were. It's the typical key west feel so there are tons of chickens roaming around. Also, there is a fun key west sign right around the shop that is a great photo opt.

    Ice coffee with mocha. Egg cheese chorizo half sandwich.

    Found this place from a video of reccomended places to go. Definitely popular. For us it was average. Breakfast sandwich with chorizo. Was chorizo links not ground which wasnt what I was expecting more smoky than i anticipated. Tried the ice coffee with mocha which was good. Husband had the cortidito, probably sounds silly but he said he preferred a starbucks cortado. So just not for us but was very busy so others like it here.

    We stopped in here on day 2 for a quick pickup of egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on pressed Cuban bread. Service was fast and friendly. Clean and brightly lit establishment. Food was fresh and delicious and just right to hit the spot before another round of exploring the Duval Street area.

    Bucci!!!!

    Absolutely love their turmeric drink! I wish we had something similar where I live. We visited several locations other than this one, and all of our drinks were fabulous across the board.

    This place is good with food and coffee but in my opinion its not true cuban coffee. Service was ok more of a chain restaurant/coffee shop nothing to brag about. I got cuban breakfast burritos and a cortadito, burrito was under seasoned and the coffee had too much milk, ask for it to be changed and they prepared it the same. Looks like they have a specific measurement for the drinks. Overall this place was ok, alot of tourists (me being one lol) but I have drank ALOT of cuban coffee and unfortunately this was not it. Nice place and all and great marketing but I guess I was expecting more. Its nice to sit down and see the chickens eat next to you just not jumping on top of you to eat your breakfast. Just a suggestion dont feed the chickens. Other than that glad I tried it. Thanks

    Awesome little place with cute key west souvenir and most importantly, Cuban coffee! Has a built in cafe where you can get coffee drinks and some foodstuffs like desserts including key lime pie. They also have fresh packed coffee whole beans and ground to take home! Price is so much better than Starbucks. Make sure to get some.

    Stopped by to get an iced vanilla latte on my walk back to the Airbnb - super cool outdoor location that's right in the middle of Duval Street. Definitely recommend trying them out & maybe taking a photo with chicken while you're there!

    Great options

    A must do when visiting Key West. Terrific magical bean juice with lots of options for different varieties of caffeine concoctions. The menu does a great job with explaining what is in each drink. Everything we ordered was delicious!! They also have breakfast and lunch options. Lots of locations throughout the area. The one in Key Lime Square also has a store that roasts the beans while you watch. They also have gifts available for purchase, as well as all of their varieties of coffee to take home (both whole bean and ground). The stand is great and you will see roosters and hens all around. They have picnic tables and a covered seating area to help with the sun or random rain. Great vibes!

    Clean and large space with a lot of swag. Nice people. Food was fine. Ordered the turkey club and coffee. Did not offer sugar free syrups.

    Vanessa R.

    Highly recommended. They have one of the best coffees I've ever had. Their sandwiches are really good too and pretty big, so you can definitely share. Service is fast and they have a few tables with big fans.

    We're spending the week in Key West and making a point of visiting as many coffee shops as…read morepossible. When we walked to Doing Work Coffee, we were initially a bit confused and weren't sure we were in the right place. That's understandable, since it shares space with Wicked Lick Ice Cream. Fortunately, the owner noticed our confusion and warmly invited us in. Food: It wasn't listed on the menu, but they were happy to make me a London Fog tea latte. My son ordered a white chocolate latte. Both drinks were good. Personally, I prefer coffee served in a mug, and they only use paper cups, which took away a bit from the experience. They don't offer much in the way of baked goods, but they did have butterscotch scones. The scone was slightly too sweet for my taste, but the texture was excellent. They heated it for us, which made it even more enjoyable. Service: The service was exceptionally friendly. We felt genuinely welcomed, and the owner took the time to have a conversation with us. After hearing his story and seeing his commitment and work ethic firsthand, I found myself rooting for his success. Atmosphere: Since they share space with the ice cream shop, the environment isn't fully coffee-centric. Coffee is the focus earlier in the day, with ice cream taking over later. There is limited seating, and for me, part of the coffee shop experience is slowing down, drinking from a proper mug, and enjoying a calm, dedicated café environment. I'm not sure what their long-term plans are, but I hope they eventually move into their own space. They clearly care about what they're doing, and it would be great to see them grow into a full coffee shop experience. Best of luck to them.

    Yeah. This place is a prefect 5 stars…read more Owner/coffee roaster was not only incredibly nice and helpful, he roasts great coffee! We ordered an off menu drink based upon his recommendation and it was delicious. He also shared a ton of fantastic tips for other places to visit in the FL area.

    Came here the other day with a gf of mine and we ordered the Maple Bacon donut and the Cuban coffee…read morecake donut. Both were really good but I would say the maple bacon one was better just because the Cuban Coffee Cake was thicker, more doughy. But the flavor was delicious on it I just liked how soft the maple bacon dough was. Either way, I can't wait to come back and try more flavors. The coffee was really good as well! Scott was so great, such a pleasure to meet. Will come back very soon!

I arrived around 7:30 a.m., and the place was already starting to get busy. Food They offer a very interesting assortment of donuts, including flavors you don't typically see elsewhere. Options like Blueberry Cheesecake, Brown Butter Hazelnut, and Cuban Coffee Cake stand out. I chose the Cuban Coffee Cake. It was essentially a spiced coffee cake shaped like a donut, topped with plenty of glaze and crumble. The portion was generous. It could easily feed two people, but I managed to finish the entire thing. For a beverage, I ordered a Mocha Latte. The flavor was very good, but it was served on the cool side. It was completely cold before I finished, and I ended up tossing the last portion. They only serve drinks in paper cups, not ceramic mugs. Although mugs were visible, I was told the health department does not allow them to use them. For me, coffee in a real mug always feels better than paper. Service I have mixed feelings about the service. The person taking my order seemed a bit on edge. When I asked about the mug situation, she appeared annoyed that I would even ask. Since it was my first visit, I asked about the most popular donut, and that also seemed to irritate her. I rephrased and asked for her personal favorite instead, which she answered more willingly. I noticed a few other staff interactions, and the overall tone of the crew felt tense. Not sure if that's typical or if it was just a busy morning. Atmosphere I took a small table inside to finish my coffee and donut. There are several small tables, best suited for two people. Toward the back of the dining area there were boxes and pallets visible. This isn't necessarily a place you visit for ambiance. Most people grabbed a box of donuts and left. Only a handful were dining inside. If you want a good donut with creative flavors, this place delivers. Just don't expect a relaxed coffee shop experience with welcoming, friendly staff.
