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!

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!

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.

We went to Better Than Sex after eating a full meal at Duffy's right in front, so there wasn't much…read moreroom left in us. But oh man was it amazing. An extremely unique ambience and decoration. 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.

This is a super cute truck in the area of the Southernmost Point that offers soft serve ice cream…read moreor mini donuts with toppings! The service was quick and there was some seating outside with some sand so even though it is a few blocks inland there was still a relaxed, beach feel to the place. I got the coconut joy mini donuts and my boyfriend got the chocolate paradise ice cream. The mini donuts did get a little soggy from the toppings so I would maybe eat a little faster than I did (though I didn't take an unreasonable amount of time) or go for the ice cream. For Key West, they seemed reasonably priced and hit the spot for something sweet. If you're already in the area and looking for something sweet, I would stop here.

I think Rooster Treats is a fun change of pace from the more traditional storefronts lining Duval Street. Instead of a typical shop, it operates out of a permanent trailer. You order from a raised deck platform, then head down to enjoy your treat at one of the tables set up in a makeshift sandy beach area. The whole setup works surprisingly well. It gives you that relaxed, toes-in-the-sand feeling, almost like you're unwinding right by the water. It has a great vibe. We're not huge fans of soft serve, mainly because the flavors and textures can feel limited. Rooster Treats makes up for that with the generous amount of toppings you can add. I ordered the Chocolate Paradise, which came with chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, and Oreo crumbs. It was delicious, and the portion size was very good. Glad we checked it out before heading home.
