Came for a cake tasting for our wedding and everything was delicious! They give you mini cupcakes and the frosting and filings to try. They have photo books to look at for inspiration too. We ordered a cupcake tier and I can't wait to see how it turns out!

4" vanilla cake w buttercream and raspberry filling

My husband ordered me a cake to celebrate me reaching my goal of 6 months breastfeeding and they nailed the design i had in mind!! The service was great, AND the cake, frosting, and filling were exactly what I was looking for; plus it tastes so amazing! Will 110% be ordering all of my future fun celebration cakes from these guys, I highly recommend you do too!!

Different type of cookies! They were all FANTASTIC.
Yaima E.

Best cookies I ever had! I see everyone giving cake compliments but I tell you we try a few yesterday and they were best cookies I ever had! Ran a half marathon today very happy. As soon I get back will definitely visit again. Continue to make delicious cookies. We are grateful for you!

Strawberry and cream angel food cake... OMG!!! To die for...

Excellent cake for our dear friend's birthday! Thank you so much for putting this together last minute!

Piña Colada cake
Drazana S.

Key West Cakes are amazing! Recommend 100 times over. Stephen at the bakery was incredible from the first day of ordering the cake. The cake was delivered in perfect condition to the reception restaurant and its presentation exceeding the bride and grooms expectation. The flavor?! Amazing! The piña colada was refreshing and the cake was so fluffy! Highly recommend Key West Cakes to anyone looking for a cake for a wedding, birthday or just because.

Guava gorgeous
Marissa N.

The guava cupcake was so good, the oreo one too. I love that the filling is abundant. These were delivered for my birthday and I think it was a walk in and walk out affair.

Funfetti wedding cake with buttercream frosting.  Yummy.
Jo H.

We ordered an 8 inch cake via email for our daughter's small wedding. Steve was responsive in answering questions and when we arrived we gave Steve the cake topper we brought and paid the $100, which included delivery to Sunset Key. The cake was delivered on time with the topper. The cake was delicious! The only nit was that we ordered German chocolate filling with the funfetti cake with buttercream frosting. The cake that we got did not have any chocolate in it. When I followed up with Steve later he replied they don't usually put chocolate filling in a cake unless the cake itself is chocolate with chocolate buttercream frosting. It was still quite yummy! The funfetti had some type of praline or nut, it really was yummy.

Sea shell themed cake with pink ombre colors

We went to Key West to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday this past week on 8/21. Mind you, ten of us flew from L.A. and flew/drive down and also visited relatives in Fort Lauderdale. So I completely forgot to order a birthday cake! As we were driving on the way to Key West, I found Key West Cakes via Yelp and saw a beautiful turquoise, sea shell themed cake. I decided to call them. The lady (I forgot her name) helped me decide to get exactly what I envisioned by asking me what my daughter's favorite color is (pink) and flavor (white cake with strawberries). I told her I liked that sea shell theme. She suggested an ombre cake frosting from white to light pink to dark pink with that theme. A white cake with strawberries & cream will be extra but will be perfect. So I ordered it and I wanted edible sea shells. She offered to put glitter on it and deliver it to the restaurant I chose for the birthday dinner for extra $10 charge. However, I had to ask the restaurant if this was okay with them and confirm the time. So I had to call her back. No problem for the restaurant and I selected Duffy's Seafood and Steakhouse as it seemed to be a Key West institution from the reviews! Needless to say, that $80 cake was worth every penny! It was delicious with just the right amount of sugar in the icing, creamy strawberries (in little bits) and moist white cake. The sea shells were made of white chocolate! My daughter (and the rest of us) loved that cake so much!! We were still eating it a couple of days later! The next day, I personally went to their bakery and thanked all of them for the excellent cake and promised to write a 5-star review!! They also had cupcakes in the display case and I had to fight the impulse to purchase one! Lol. Go here for special cakes for special occasions!!!

Whatever you do try this place out they're cupcakes are seriously good. We had the Mango and keylime cupcake, mango was all throughout the middle of the it. The keylime cupcake and pie were oh so good with just enough lime without being over bearing. I also like the fact that cupcakes were soft and moist and huge. Their are also a bunch of cookies to choose from also. Very good customer service. Definitely a must try.

The cupcakes here are incredible. The chocolate cupcake was a delicious light cupcake with a light, airy chocolate frosting. The Key Lime cupcake had a light citrus taste with an extra kick of key lime in the frosting. Super pleased with the lavender flower decorated cupcake which had a subtle lavender flavor-just right. Also have to give high marks to their key lime pie! After trying several around town, I wished I had tried their sooner- would have had it more often!! My husband and I tried many more items while we stayed nearby for our month on Key West and we were not disappointed with any of it. Carrot cake, cookies, more cupcakes... A shout out to owners Steven and Paul for being so gracious and inviting despite me taking so long to make my choices sometimes!! And thank you, Paul, for the history on the house we stayed in!

Luke's AWESOME Star Wars birthday cake

Original and cherry bomb
Sophie W.

The best cupcakes!! The dreamsicle is truly a dream. The cupcakes have light and airy frosting on a moist cake. They are the perfect balance! We sampled five and couldn't decide which was our favorite. The staff and owner are very friendly!

Thank you for baking a special vegan cake for my ring bearers with allergies! Photo by Megan Ellis

Key West Cakes was so fun to work with for our wedding cake!! We had a blast during our tasting (their shop set up is really cute!) and then loved the ease of working with them over email to finalize the details. We got a beautiful, three-tiered wedding cake made of coconut cake and coconut buttercream. They also prepared an insanely delicious small vegan cake for my two little cousins with allergies. The most important thing though is that the cake was SO.GOOD. Like - oh my god. There wasn't any left over at the end of the wedding!! My husband and I literally drove by on our way out of the Keys after our wedding to grab some cupcakes in the same flavor as our wedding cake. I can't wait to stop by the next time we're in the Keys. Thank you so much!!!

Small shop. The passion cupcake was really good. Enjoyed the icing as well! The key lime sand tart didn't have much lime flavor to it

I forgot to take a photo of their cold brew process that was being done in the morning, but it was fascinating to watch. The process looked painstakingly slow, yet very cool and worth seeing. After a long day of walking and sightseeing, a small afternoon coffee break was much needed. We ordered iced coffee along with a slice of honey cake. The cake was moist, not overly sweet, and paired perfectly with either iced or hot coffee. The only downside was the service toward the end of our visit. Since they were preparing to close, the staff had already started putting things away and cleaning while customers were still seated and eating or drinking. Personally, I think cleaning should begin after closing time rather than while guests are still trying to enjoy their experience. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the honey cake and would love to try their cold brew next time.

There are plenty of places to get dessert in Key West. I know because we tried most of them! What's…read morenice about Mattheessen's is that they offer some items that are uniquely their own. Food: The one item that really stood out was the PB Fudge Cookie. It's a large peanut butter cookie with a thick layer of peanut butter fudge, topped with another thick layer of chocolate fudge. Yes, it's one big and delicious cookie. It's expensive at $12, but it's large enough to feed a family of six. There were other items that looked equally amazing, including the chocolate-dipped coconut macaroons. On another visit a couple of days later, we tried the Key lime pie, and it was excellent. The crust had a rich, buttery flavor and held together well. Instead of the traditional meringue topping, they used whipped cream, which was a nice touch. We even asked for extra. Service: The staff were friendly, helpful, and patient. We never felt rushed. Atmosphere: The shop is well lit, clean, and has an upbeat aesthetic. Mattheessen's is a place we would, and did, return to for a second visit.

I'm not so sure about their giant cookies, which appear to be their signature offering. I could be…read morewrong (I'm allergic to chocolate, so it's probably best to ignore my cookie opinions) but they seem way too unmanageably large to possibly be good -- unless you're somewhat drunk (which you probably are, if you're in Key West... even the name of this shop has way too many superfluous letters to not be a hallucination). But, that doesn't matter. Never mind the comically large cookies. They have excellent lemonade. They have excellent FROZEN lemonade. And, because it's Key West, they have really excellent FROZEN KEY LIMEADE! It's fantastic. I got two -- or for immediately, and one for the freezer for (a little bit) later.

I originally went in planning to try the chocolate covered key lime pie on a stick, but Diego, the cashier, suggested I start with a traditional slice since I was a newbie. I appreciated that recommendation! For context, I'm not a big key lime pie person. I love key lime flavored things like cookies and candy, but the pie itself has never really been my favorite. But again... when in Key West, you know the rest, lol! I gave it a try, and honestly, I was surprised. It was actually good. Probably the best key lime pie I've had. It tasted very different from the ones I've tried in Dade and Broward County. Its ike they used real key lime, which made a noticeable difference. The crust was my favorite part. It was perfectly crunchy and tasted homemade, which paired so well with the filling. Even the whipped cream on top was delicious. I will say, if I were a true key lime pie lover, I'd probably be obsessed, if that makes sense, lol. Overall, great experience. Diego was friendly and helpful, the place was clean and adorable, and they had a nice variety of treats. I'd definitely come back. Next time, I've got my eye on a key lime cookie! Btw. There's a 3% charge if you use a credit card.
