So we came in to try the fabulous coffee that so many have reviewed here and we weren't…read moredisappointed! Coffee is delicious and we had a chocolate almond croissant which was to die for! We then walked out to our car to see that there was a flat tire. Desperately needing an air compressor to fill up our tire in order to get to the nearest tire shop we asked the employee on staff if there was any help that can be given. The owner had stepped out and so graciously returned to get us all set up, which was above and beyond what anyone needs to do! Locals are so lucky to have such an amazing place of business with an owner that is so caring!

SWEET BABAY JESUS. I almost made a U-turn after heading home one hour out just to go back for more pie. There is a nice area in the back with tables to sit and enjoy your treat. They also have ice cream and other desserts available.

We stopped in at this adorable book and coffee shop (name has been updated to Mr. Beans Books &…read moreBeans) on a day trip to Key West. The gentleman who owns it bills himself as grouchy and surly, but we weren't fooled. He's clearly passionate about his business, his cat, and his coffee, including commissioning his own personal blend from a local roaster. Our lattes were smooth and delicious (almond and oat milk). Although pricing is pretty reasonable, especially for the Keys, I do wish they didn't charge extra for plant based milks. WIFI is available with a $5 purchase, and there is a variety of books to browse and/or buy while enjoying a coffee or pastry.

I highly recommend adding this stop to your drive down to the Keys. It's a quiet village with…read morelittle shops and a cute coffee shop. They have tons of seating outside with some in the shade so it's perfect all year round. I ordered an iced matcha which was delicious and prepared very fast despite being pretty crowded. They have a shared parking lot with other businesses, but parking is not an issue. I will be back to try more of their menu.

The cutest shop with yummy coffee and great service. I wanted to create my own flavored latte and…read morethey had no issues accommodating. I saw they had caramelized banana for their matcha but I wanted it in a coffee. It was a perfect decision. They made it so delicious and just the right balance of flavor, espresso and milk. Great for a quick, local coffee spot. Grab your coffee, sit outside and stroll into the cute shop or food trucks, you won't be disappointed.

Delicate, pure amazing. Light egg wash and amazingly fresh and tender local fish I've never had. One I ordered had shrimp as well (was also supposed to be scallops). Choice of pasta or veg (green beans and potatoes). 5 stars - Duck: soy glazed half duck. Hub gave 4.5 stars - Bread: fresh, warm, and slightly seasoned. Would've liked some olive oil with it. 3.5 stars - Generous pour for glasses of wine - Mother son duo was so sweet Midlights - Beef Wellington: standard. 3 stars - Escargot: nice thin cognac sauce with tender escargot but being on a plate looked like it was drowning. 3 stars - Atmosphere: inside a motel like place. Outside had a thin balcony with a few tables for 2, inside very basic and old school with music to match Lowlights: - Long wait for food; we had a 630pm reservation and apps came at 7:30pm, entrees at 8:15pm and we didn't get to leave til almost 9 and skipped ordering - Out of few items and informed us 30+ min after we ordered them (rib eye and scallops) - Restroom downstairs in the lobby and closes at 8 so was a hassle to be let in

They have a lot of dry goods, frozen foods and a few warm items and boba. My rose milk tea was extremely sweet sadly, and in general the pricing of the items in the store are marked up 200-400% from where im used to buying. But maybe that's just the price you pay in Florida since Asians are such a minority there, especially down at the keys lol. It's a neat stop if you're touring the area but you will pay a good penny.
