My wife and I are here visiting for a family wedding, and wanted to find a local coffee place to try. We had not only the best coffee around the area, but the best service. We were greeted kindly. The guy who owns it educated us on the types of coffee beans used, the background of his company, gave us samples of rum cake to try, and customized our drinks to our liking. The place is small and shares a building with an ice cream shop, so don't miss it! We definitely recommend Doing Work Coffee! It was a great place to stop in and treat ourselves to some delicious coffee! read more

We're spending the week in Key West and making a point of visiting as many coffee shops as possible. 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. read more

Yeah. This place is a prefect 5 stars. 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. There's an ice cream shop in same storefront. read more

We came here based on the ratings - had a little bit of a hard time finding it as it is located in an ice cream store. Once inside we learned the owner roasts all his beans, organic and all the products are environmentally friendly. The coffee is AMAZING!! We had a late and cappuccino. The owner is so nice they serve fresh baked goods (very small food menu but we had the banana bread, cranberry cake and savory sourdough roll). All delicious! They also sell coffee beans (I just ordered some for delivery) and wish I was local - i would be going daily! read more

This is a great coffee spot on Duval in Key West! It's open everyday and early morning.

Cuban queen coffee who? No, this is the best coffee jn town. I ordered it just black cold brew. If you appreciate good coffee quality, come here. The baristas are welcoming (I came back the next day) to tourists. I love how they explain what the beans are and where it's from. read more

We needed to kill some time. We looked up coffee shops and this place was right around the corner, and highly rated. At first I was confused because they share space with an ice cream place. But we were in the right place. The barista offered me a choice of beans and went into detail about each. I hope I didn't roll my eyes. He then freshly ground my choice and prepared it for me. IT WAS THE BEST CUP OF COFFEE I'VE EVER HAD. read more

It's the best coffee shop in key west bottom line. We are coffee connoisseurs and tried every shop in key west. Many of them are good but none of them can be compared to "doing work" coffee shop. We ordered cold brew nitro and it was the best we ever tried- foamy, smooth and rich with a good caffeine boost . We tried the beans that were aged in abourbon barrel that had a slight aroma of bourbon. We bought bag of coffee to take home as well. Design inside of the Coffee shop inside is so boho and cozy with soft chairs and local paintings. It's a hidden gem , kinda hard to find at first as it's located in a historic building and they can't advertise outside . It's a must stop if you love coffee. The owners are so friendly and it was such pleasure to talk to them and get advice what to do key west and where to eat. You can also order bourbon coffee beans from their website . We will be back . read more

One of the few coffee places open early in the morning. Friendly service with nice choice of coffee beans. Coffee maker told me she would make me a new drink if I didn't like the bean I picked, but I loved it. read more

This was definitely a 5 star experience. On the last day of our multi-day trip this was the third coffee shop we had tried in three days. It was easily our favorite! The service was prompt, polite and efficient. As wonderful as the service was, the coffee was even better! My wife and I both had cold brews of different bean varieties. Each were excellent and some of the best cold brew I've had anywhere. We will definitely be back if we make it back to KW! read more

Doing Work Coffee - Smoked cherry latte with almond milk - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Key West, Florida

What an awesome place with awesome owners. They are a small place located inside the back of a Comedy Club and they have the best mission, making great tasty coffee beans with sustainable products and helping other communities with their missions as well. Everything they use is sustainable and biodegradable from the cups, lids, straws, even the plant based "plastic" wrapping their homemade cakes (The woman was literally mixing the muffin batter as we were chatting) down to the bean sacks. They are a 100% plastic free place. Glad I stayed to chat and pick their brains a bit. My husband and I each had a vanilla latte one with each kind of their espresso beans. One is Brazilian, and the other is from a smoked whiskey barrel. I loved the Brazilian one and my husband enjoyed his too. I preferred the Brazilian for a more standard latte flavor. Soooo good! A must visit if you love great coffee!! Right off Mallory Square near the cruise ship! read more

Found this little gem across the street from our hotel. Coffee shop shares the same space as a comedy club, so dont come in expecting typical coffee shop vibes. With that being said staff was very welcoming and explained the 3 types of beans available. I asked if I could hang out for a couple hours to do some morning meetings and emails, staff turned down music to a pleasant volume and asked if I wanted wifi pw. I thoroughly enjoyed my cherry bourbon latte so much I went back on the day we left and got a bag of beans (16oz $23) and a latte to go. A lot of potential here! read more

Great coffee shop down at the bottom of Key West. They have amazing service, make delicious and refreshing iced coffee, and don't forget to have one of their fresh baked scones which are fresh and just delicious! My fiancé and I go down to Key West once a month since we're from South Miami for a weekend just to reset and relax. There are some months we extend our trip to include an extra day. Finding this coffee shop has made it possible to make those long weekend trips often since we can drive in early and I can literally chill here to work a few hours before check-in. It's quiet, big enough to find a cozy corner, and always welcoming. It's all in their name but they are so much more! Love you guys and see you again next month! read more

We have been to Key West twice in the eight months. A highlight of our trip both times was going to see our friends Daniel and Holly at "Doing Work Coffee." Both Daniel and Holly have been the friendliest and most upbeat people we've met there. Their presence is like a hug! Their amazing coffee and blueberry muffins are just a bonus! We even ordered their coffee throughout the months. Their coffee is truly a staple of Key West. We look forward to going back next. Jump into your day with some Peak Hustle! -Tim & Briana read more

The owners are engaging and knowledgeable about their craft. The coffee was delicious with notes of cherry and bourbon balancing nicely in a cup not overwhelmed by dairy product or sweetener.
