    Island cake with coconut and pineapple
    Suzanne D.

    Came in on a Monday and figured it was our best chance of getting a shorter wait time. Had to see what the crowds came for. Love they have gluten free options. The spicy club sandwich was delicious with a generous portion. We split it and were full. But, had to at least get one dessert. The island cake was a light summer treat. Indoor and outdoor seating worked out well on a hot day.

    Really busy restaurant but it was worth the wait. We were a party of 4 and waited around 40 mins for a table on a weekday. The pizza was more like a flatbread and was not what I was expecting. I wouldn't order it again. Our server was nice and attentive. We did get the key lime pie from there and it was our favorite of our trip.

    Worth every minute of the wait. Moondog is situated nearby Hemingway house and a perfect stop before or after your tour. There js indoor and outdoor seating available, outdoor seating is shaded and surrounded by greenery. The food is amazing!!! Our only regret is not being able to try more dishes. We shall have to come back one day for more.

    Key lime pie
    Annie A.

    We waited about 30 minutes to be seated, but the bartender/server was friendly and provided great service throughout our visit. The pastries were excellent, especially the Danish. The Key lime pie wasn't my favorite was a bit too rich for me, the crust was overbaked, and it wasn't something you could easily enjoy while walking around in the Key West heat. The burgers were also disappointing, as they lacked seasoning, and even my friends weren't impressed with the veggie burger. Overall, I'd come back for the pastries and the service, but probably skip the burgers.

    Moondog classic
    Clara S.

    We came here on a Sunday morning with a large group and had a bit of a wait. We got seated about 25 minutes after putting our name down. The food was worth it though! I got the moondog classic with a side of fruit. We also shared the bourbon bacon blackberry French toast, which was a nice sweet treat. Service was pretty quick and cute place overall!

    Vegan Key Lime Pie  (to die for!). You musttt get it
    Meghna N.

    Holy smokes that's one of the best vegan desserts I've had. Vegan key lime pie MUST TRY! They also have 2 other vegan dessert options, incredible vegan breakfast options such as tofu scramble bowl and quinoa pancakes.

    Key Lime Pie
    Brianna C.

    We came here on vacation and were told this restaurant was a must try! Even though it's not pictured, we had the mahi tacos, shrimp tacos and chicken potstickers. They all were pretty good but nothing stood out. The star of the show that is pictured is their infamous Key Lime Pie. This pie was a hefty slice ($13) and more than enough to share. The meringue was toasted perfectly, the filling had a delicious tartness to it but the crust was so hard! We could barely cut the bottom of the pie because this crust was so hard. Eventually, we just ate the filling and meringue without the crust due to the hassle. I wasn't as amazed as I expected to be from the praises this restaurant gets but I would be willing to try again. The food came out very quickly and the customer service was great!

    Shrimp & Grits
    Yvette L.

    My friends and I shared shrimp & grits, seafood pizza, bacon croissant pastry & a slice of key lime pie. The shrimp & grits were delicious and out of the 5 key lime pies we had this one was the best key lime pie. The idea of the seafood pizza was good, but we didn't like the pizza dough used. It tasted like cardboard to me. The pastry look good too, but it was just ok. I would come back for the shrimp & grits and key lime pies.

    Ahi tuna poke
    Arnieliz S.

    The place is super cute! The food was amazingly delicious! The service top notch! Ordered a mango matcha latte (too delicious I forgot to take a picture), a must order if you are a matcha lover . Then ordered the ahi tuna poke (I remembered to take a pic this time) as an appetizer and it was amazingly delicious & refreshing! For our main breakfast items, which I sadly forgot to take pics of, we ordered the avocado & veggie salad (my dish) it is very refreshing, I loved everything on it, just the kale & salad ratio was a little off but no biggie as it was super filling still. My hubby got the shrimp tacos and he said they were delicious and he devoured it instantly, didn't even save me a bite . For the finale, the main star of the event, we ordered the key lime pie!! And I will tell you, I don't even care for key lime pie because I'm not a big fan of tarte flavors but this key lime pie with meringue was wonderfully balanced with tarte & sweet! I def remembered to take a pic of this celebrity pie! And you see the pic with my hubby for reference of size and still wished I ordered my own! Our fav key lime pie in key west!

    Churrasco Chimichurri, Iced coffee.
    Yemaya J.

    The coffee is amazing and they have a bakery case in the front with great pastries! The wait was a bit long but I feel like it went by quick, they have very quirky characters they give you while they wait. I got the chimichurri churassco breakfast plate and it was delicious! The A/C on the inside was wonderful and they have a nice outdoor patio area but it is a little limited on space.

    Moondog has some truly unique flavors and we enjoyed our dinner visit! We got the Mac N cheese, steak tacos, and Key Lime Pie. I honestly think this key lime pie was the best one we tried on the island. Although, Publix is still my favorite. The Mac N Cheese was delicious it is very non traditional so be prepared for some sharper flavors. We went when it was freezing cold so we had to sit on the outside patio because inside was on a waitlist. We still got our food relatively quickly and the waiter was very nice. I would definitely return back here for another dinner in the future. All in all great place!

    As soon as you come in, you can see scrumptious desserts in the glass displays. I got the key lime pie with torched meringue. It is very sweet and not tart. I enjoy the thick graham cracker crust and the high meringues. I wanted to try more of the dessert but I was bummed by the unfriendly girl at the counter. I said hi to her but she ignored me. To add to the insult, she helped a lady who came after me. Definitely not a good customer service.

    Assorted pastries

    We all loved our brunch. Everything was excellent. I had the Quiche Lorraine. It was so fluffy, probably the best I've ever had. The Goat cheese, red pepper polenta cake - WOW. I will try to make something like that at home. It was delicious. Never had that before. And then there was the pastries. They looked delicious and even though we were full, we got some to go for later. Yum!

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.

The place is very small and very packed, so I would advise to get there either early or filter to run for a later brunch. The space is pretty small, but it is really cute and the baked goods are insane and gone by 10 on a Friday. Fresh baked bread fresh pastries looked unbelievably good. They have a large selection of fresh maid smoothies, and juices made while you wait which is perfect for after a night of drinking! I saw some pictures on Yelp of the eggs Benedict and they have a full page devoted to different types of eggs Benedict. I decided on this smoked salmon eggs Benedict and it was probably the best I've ever eaten in my life in any country. It was literally that outstanding!! The food comes out relatively fast although they're insanely busy and it's efficient.. It's not a place you lounge around with a lot of people - eat and get out, because there is a line waiting to be seated no matter what day what time. These servers really hustle too. This place is also known for its coffee which they have a lot of different varieties iced and hot and it's absolutely top-notch, pair that with some fresh baked goods and you've got yourself one hell of a start to your day. I've always loved Evelyn's for breakfast or Sarabeth's, but this place blew it away in my opinion and I've been coming here for 15 years for work. This is my absolute go to breakfast place for you yelpers if you're interested - I don't think you'll be disappointed!!

Everything was so firm that I couldn't dip or spread anything onto the toast. We waited a pretty long time so maybe I was just too hungry to send these back! Green juice and orange juice were nice.

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.
