Inside the store

Dined: 5/27/26 We arrive on Key West via Celebrity Reflection cruise ship. We wanted to find the best Key Lime Pie on the island. This place is absolutely the BEST! The crust is phenomenal and the filling is perfectly balanced (not too tart). We even saw him making the pies! I also ordered their Frozen Limeade drink ($6). PERFECT drink for the humidity and temperature. The baker/server was extremely friendly and fast! If you love Key Like Pie, Mattheessen's is THE PLACE! We will be back!

Chocolate chip cookies
Dave Q.

What a cookie, these are good and tasty. We rated the chocolate chip that we had as better than average but not great. The service is quick and the staff was fine. The store was clean and the cookies are laid out well in the display cases.

I really like the ice cream! I took coconut roasted and chocolate. Homemade and fresh ice cream. Aida who look after us was so nice and kind

Peanut butter cookie
Stephanie W.

Super friendly! Excellent advertising with the sheer size! Multiple locations across the island

My kids say this is the best ice cream they have ever had. The chocolate dipped key like pie was so good too!

Freshly squeezed lemonade for me in the door, but the homemade giant chocolate chip & pecan cookie with warm ice cream made us stay. The shop is located in the middle of a busy (even on a Wednesday) street, filled with shops and visitors. We paid to park a few blocks away. The four stars is for the 5-star price. That lemonade was small for $7 and the cookie and ice cream, while tasty was $17. I'd still consider visiting again for the key lime pie.

Peanut butter cookie with peanut butter and chocolate frosting.

Homemade ice cream and huge delicious cookies. THE BEST! A must visit. Right across the street from La Concha hotel.

Wowzer! Their cookie with chocolate and pb fudge is rich and definitely a little piece of Heaven! Our kids had chocolate ice cream. They loved it. The cashier was super friendly as well.

First of all the smell is encapsulating! The homemade waffle cones, cookies, fudge!! It all looked so appealing! The service was fantastic and we tried several types of icecream and they were creamy, full of flavor and perfection!

Hali O.

Impressive bakery. Huge cookies, macaroons and chocolate dipped key lime pie! We opted for just a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie and it was delicious! Warms and soft but crispy on the edges. Service was good and happy to serve you. Cute shop!

Justin F.

This was such a fun place with great local ice cream, the really fun part is checking out the local Keylime pie that was made just right and then dipped in chocolate. I never experienced such a thing before, but I really love it. The customer service was awesome. Highly recommended!

Michelin-rated Moondog Cafe & Bakery was excellent. I was unsure what to expect because some of…read moreYelp reviews weren't great. On a Friday morning,1030ish, mid-October, there was a 20 minute wait which didn't seem long at least because there was a rooster outside providing clucky entertainment. We sat at the bar and ordered coffee which was a bit bitter. But that didn't really matter because the Blueberry-lemon Quinoa Pancakes and the Quiche Loraine were fantastic! The stake of pancakes were quite delicious and I couldn't stop eating them - I'd say they were more hearty than regular pancakes and they had naturally sweet, plump blueberries on top and inside the cakes. The quiche had ample, tasty ham throughout and its consistency was perfect. Next, we tried the key lime pie and it was one of the best we ever had. It had a very ample layer of merengue, lightly torched on top floating over a creamy, light key lime with a touch of tartness and sweetness, and a thin bottom crust. In fact, the entire bakery of desserts and pastries looked amazing.

Been to Key West and googled this place . We wanted to have good coffee and cakes and found this…read moreplace ! Had fantastic reviews in google . Parking was a bit tough here !

It's a very…read moresmall restaurant, with just a few tables inside and some additional seating in a covered outdoor area, which gives it a cozy atmosphere. The service was excellent, and I had one of the strongest cups of coffee I've ever tasted. I ordered the French toast, and it was absolutely amazing. They also had a very good-looking selection of desserts and pastries that all looked delicious. There's something wonderfully quirky about the place, almost as if some old Key West spirit tucked away a little French café and enchanted it with the aroma of coffee, butter, and sugar. I wouldn't be surprised if the pastries were baked under a full moon. I would definitely return to try some of the other food. La Grignote is a delightful little find with great service, delicious food, and just the right amount of old-Key-West charm.

The other no mayo with chips. My came correct. Would have liked a little more filling, but that was ok. My daughter's did come with mayo. Drinks were a strawberry lemonade and the other was an iced mocha latte. Lemonade was great. Mocha latte was just a latte with what looked like cocoa powder and was just ok. I would try this place again. Service was great. Keep in mind, they closed the kitchen by 2:45.

I have a sweet tooth, a tremendous sweet tooth indeed, For…read moreice cream and desserts are the things that I need. I've had dessert in the desert near Area 51, And underground in Antarctica, far from the sun. I've had it in graveyards, beneath moonlight so fair, And even in a dessert restaurant, yes, I've had dessert there! At Better Than Sex, the Fever was mine, And it tasted so splendid, so luscious, divine. I tried one of their special coffees as well, And it was so delicious, I nearly swooned under its spell. But the night's grandest moment, the finest display, Was when our waiter arrived with the desserts on a tray. He looked straight in my eyes as he named each delight, With a confidence both curious and wonderfully bright. My dessert was a huge phallus, impressive and grand, With two giant balls resting beneath it in hand. It was covered in "splooge sauce," a curious sweet stream, A dessert of such drama it belonged in a dream! I truly enjoyed this place and would gladly return If I lived nearby, where the sweet candles burn. They are masters of dessert, of flavor and flair-- A deliciously mischievous treasure tucked away there.

But it's not too much or too little. The seating is comfortable and private. Our server was very nice, he checked in at all the right times and was sweet. We only ordered one dessert and it got there promptly. Everything on the menu looked excellent and delicious. We settled on the cookie nookie cake, it was super fresh with many contrasting flavors that made every bite a pleasure. Overall had an amazing time and recommend this place for anything from a late night dessert or a full dessert meal. If we're ever around again, we are definitely going back and trying a lot more than just one dessert.

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.
