Stopped to try out this coffee shop while in the Cedar Key area one morning. I did not know…read moreanything about it before stopping, but was impressed with the entire experience! While visiting family nearby in Chiefland, we stopped into Cedar Key one morning before our trip concluded. It was a Wednesday in July, and overall the area was not super busy. We came up to The Prickly Palm around noon on a Wednesday in July, and were one of a few customers there. This coffee trailer is located in the main part of Cedar Key. I recently learned that they used to have a brick and mortar, but that was unfortunately destroyed by the hurricane last year. Despite this, their trailer and whole current set-up is very cute and inviting. The trailer is set up along 2nd Street, and sits in the back of the lot. You will see a sandwich board sign indicating where the lot is, along with a ton of outdoor seating under tents. There is not a dedicated parking lot specifically for The Prickly Pear, but we had no issue finding street parking right near the entrance. The menu here is very diverse and full of variety! Not only do they have coffee, but there are also smoothies, açaí bowls, milkshakes, and breakfast items. I was especially impressed with the variety of flavoring for the coffees. Sometimes, places only have a few flavors. However, there was a solid collection of flavors and different combinations marketed for customers to choose from! It seems like there are seasonal options available, as they had a lot of banana coffee options on this particular day. I appreciated the different sizing options for the coffee. Especially for the iced, as typically a lot of local coffee places do not have bigger sizes (comparable to a Dunkin or Starbucks). The Large Iced is 32OZ, which was a pleasant surprise! They did seem to have a size for everyone, whether they want a lot of coffee or just a regular amount. I personally ended up ordering a Large Iced Banana Nut Mocha Latte, but requested half of the syrups to tone down the sweetness. It was really good! I am iffy at times on banana flavoring, as I am not a fan of artificial banana. Even so, I liked this latte and enjoyed it throughout the afternoon. The others I was with all enjoyed their drinks as well! This was my first time visiting here, and the employees could not have been more welcoming! I asked for recommendations and their favorites, and they gave a lot of good suggestions and information. There were three of us total, each getting a large latte or cold brew. The total was a little under $30 for all of it. So, this place is a little more expensive than other spots, but I do believe the value is there. Plus, you are supporting a small business which is a win! Loved visiting The Prickly Palm for the first time. We tend to come to the area at least once a year, and I look forward to our next visit so I can make another trip to The Prickly Palm for a delicious latte! I would recommend giving this spot a try if you find yourself in Cedar Key.

I made sure that I was not hungry as long waits for food were mentioned. We had a nice table overlooking the Gulf and were entertained by dolphins immediately off shore. There was also a musician playing. It took an hour plus for the food to come out. Food was good and we enjoyed the meal. But if you are impatient or prone to being "hangry", better know what you are getting into. Not many choices currently in Cedar Key, easily half are still out of commission, if you go to the Cow, relax and enjoy the view, but good chance you'll be doing some waiting.

Not a problem The hold time we waited there was always one table empty. When asked hostess was rude addressing we had to wait 45 min although we had been waiting 40 mins and table was still vacant. 55 mins in we received text of table ready. Guess what that empty table was our table. It's not an overload cause every table was used. Maybe we just not her kind of people cause we don't wear orange and blue. As for food horrible no season no flavor looked cheap go the cost of the meal. We had no issues with waitress. Restaurant needs help.

I bought a bag of Ethiopia Medium roast which is natural not washed and the smell and taste are wonderful. Sometimes the naturals go over the top but this one hits the spot - its got the fruit but its also mellow. Perfect for sitting down and just enjoying a cup in peace. Food also excellent. My go tos were the oatmeal (no cream) and the croissant sandwich which was recommended to me by a very nice lady who works for delta in Tampa and comes to Cedar Key 3 times per year and was excited when she heard this was where I was going.

We were told after waiting almost 30 minutes for them that the reason was that they make everything from scratch-I'm no expert but I know a Sam's croissant when I see one and whoever is so unbelievably out of touch with flavors would put a garlicky chicken salad with sliced strawberries?? Literally wtf. Don't get me started.. and then they mocked us when we asked where our order was and basically threw the Togo box at us. Classy. DONT WASTE YOUR VALUABLE VACATION TIME. There are other local businesses that are grateful for the tourists that keep them afloat..

Had a choice of eating in the bar , the dining room or outside. We chose the dining room and glad we did. Overall all our service was very good. The server was friendly ( and very busy handling a lot of tables). I had an 8oz filet which was very good. I ordered it medium ( light pink center) and it cane out true Pittsburgh rare ( charred outside but rare inside- see pics) I was actually ok with it .... I order medium for my wife to have a couple bites even though I prefer more med rare. So this was def rare inside but I loved it ( I cut her a small end piece that was cooked a little more ) The steak comes with a salad, a vegetable and potato ( a lot of restaurants everything is alacarte - so for $40 for a prime 8oz filet with those sides included .... Not bad. Wife had shrimp and grit cake which is a large appetizer ( she had as her meal). Also had stuffed mushrooms to start that were very good. I think the town of Cedar Key will prob be one and done for us. Wanted to see it , it's quaint , old Florida ... but prob wouldn't come back. ( but only because we just wanted to check it off of a long list of Florida towns to visit) Pro tip: they don't take American Express , odd for a linen table cloth type of place .... So , it's ok to leave home without it

The outside was pretty full and we thought about sitting out there, but the idea of the bugs getting me later pushed us back inside. by the time we left at 6:40, there were only 3 other tables occupied in the dining room. We had a good dinner, although in reading some of the other reviews, we might have had the same server who seemed to be very slow and big gaps in between visiting our table - she seemed to disappear. I had the Calypso pasta with scallops, which was great. We had the stuffed mushrooms to start, which were yummy, but only 3. and my husband had a snapper fish of the day dish. He also enjoyed the pecan pie. And I enjoyed his ice cream. I was not a fan of any of the cocktails, so just had a glass of wine. My husband had the almond joy/mounds martini, whatever it was called, and he liked it a lot.

This place makes the red clam chowder, which is what we prefer over the white & fresh crab bisque. You can get it by the cup or bowl or you can get a quart to take home. Both soups were amazballs. In fact, we haven't stopped talking about them since. We wished we would have got a quart of each to take home!!! The red clam chowder has potatoes/onions very hearty with their fresh local clams it's just fabulous. The crab bisque is cream based & has tons of fresh crab in it. Both of them are just divine. like i said we still are talking about these two soups. We can't wait to return for the quarts to go!!! Very cool dockside dining under the stars. Highly recommend.
