So I brought my family and the food was okay not great. What made things really weird was a cook/manager (not sure who she was but she was a blonde lady) was saying bye to a group of her friends and very loudly declared "I hate Italians too". I guess her friend said it and she was agreeing. I'm Italian and with my family there, it's a table of all Italian people. It made us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome.

We sat outside beneath the shade, where it was surprisingly cool and comfortable. Service was quick, and I ordered the house Bloody Mary. It was flavorful without being overly spicy, the ghost of Hemingway agreed. We also shared the veggie board, which was delicious and perfect for a light meal. The desserts looked absolutely amazing, but Hemingway's ghost and I decided to save room for some stronger spirits instead. The prices were very fair, and I would happily return to try the desserts, preferably when the ghost of Hemingway is somewhere else.

If you're traveling to or through Marathon, Florida, do yourself a favor and stop at LJ's Café for…read morebreakfast or lunch. This family-owned gem was one of the highlights of our trip! My husband ordered the ham, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing. We split it but the first thing we noticed it was huge. The sandwich was served on Cuban bread that they bake fresh themselves, and it was some of the best bread I've ever had; light, flaky, perfectly golden brown, and incredibly fresh. Every ingredient tasted fresh and homemade, including real eggs cooked to order, not the processed "fake" eggs you find in so many places. Be sure to save room for one of their homemade pastries. Like the bread, everything is baked in-house, and you can taste the care that goes into every bite. The coffee was equally impressive; rich, smooth, and full of flavor. It paired perfectly with breakfast and kept me coming back for more. What really sets LJ's Café apart, though, is the atmosphere. This is a true mom-and-pop establishment where family and friends work together. From the moment you walk into the small storefront, you're welcomed like family. The service is warm, genuine, and makes you feel right at home. And here's an added bonus for Florida travelers: the air conditioning is fantastic! After visiting several places in Marathon, we definitely appreciated being able to enjoy our meal in a cool, comfortable environment. I can't rave enough about this wonderful spot. If you're passing through Marathon, make sure your schedule allows for breakfast or lunch because those are the only hours they're open. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I was starving but didn't want to do a full service restaurant. I searched for lunch options near…read moreme and found LJs near my hotel. It's a family run biz with a strong Cuban streak. It was so good I actually went twice. Once by myself and once with my family. We all had sandwiches which were very generously portioned. I had the Italian on one occasion and the Turkey on another. Both were fab and more than enough. With a bag of chips a single sandwich is an easy lunch for two. Clientele seemed to be a mix of locals and tourists. The family who runs it was very friendly. Service was fantastic. If you want a more hearty meal they have a daily special that includes two or three meat options, rice, beans, etc. not exactly diet food, but you won't go hungry. Seating was limited but they have tables outside as well. No one was left standing. I loved it and would return again.

A few years ago, I had some really great guava pastries here, so during my last trip to KW, I knew…read moreI had to stop by and get some more. I got a beef empanada and a guava pastry. The empanada was freshly made, it was hot, tasty and it had lots of beefy fillings. I would get that again..it was a winner. The guava pastry kind of let me down. It was not as buttery and as flaky as I remember. The dough's consistency was just average. I was disappointed with the quality of that pastry....but I know now that I can get similar quality pastries in FLL. Nice lady at the counter, she said they are planning to open the dining area the week of Dec 6th, 2021, so you have that option if you stop by.

Was something funny going on with the kids working there but whatever, kids. Anyway, Iced coffee was pretty good, just a little sweet for me and with waay too much ice for the price.

And some fun patio seating too.

The Marketplace at Isla Bella is located upon entering when you head to Isla Bella Beach Resort…read more Instead of turning left toward the resort, keep heading straight ahead and the Marketplace is tucked next to the marina area. This place is fabulous not just for food, drinks and convenience store items but they carry so many cute retail items too including Lululemon. You know a place is bougie if they carry Lululemon. Lol. They sell booze, unique gift items, bulk candy section, sunscreen, bug spray, clothing, snacks, canned drinks, and so much more. There is an activities area where you can check out things to do while you're staying at Isla Belle Beach Resort too. Ask for Sean, he's the Director of Guest Experiences and he'll take great care of you! The space is beautiful and so big. The Marketplace reminds me a lot of Sugarboo & Co which is a unique home goods store with fun gift items. If you've ever been to Sugarboo in Orlando or Atlanta, you'll know what I mean. We stopped in here a few times mainly for coffee or breakfast sandwiches. Had the hazelnut cappuccino and warning to all, they make the coffee super fresh and piping hot. No joke, almost burned my mouth twice. I wasn't the only one. Ha. But coffee is good, just be careful and let your drink cool off. I speak from experience. The breakfast sandwiches here are really tasty and fresh. They don't list the breakfast sandwiches on the menu as it changes regularly. We had an everything bagel breakfast sandwiches with egg, bacon and cheese. The bagel was perfectly soft and chewy and yummy. Pricing is fair and you can charge to your room. If you're staying at the resort, you can walk here from the main resort area and lobby too. It's a short walk and you enter through the back area that way. It's also next to the Event Center. Coolest marketplace I've ever seen!

I LOVED the Butterfly Risotto. The Filet Mignon was delish, and you can get it with lime cilantro butter or blue cheese crumbles or sautéed onions. Their key lime cheesecake is the best in the area--and it's gluten free! They also have an amazing flourless chocolate cake. They have plenty of gluten free options, and it is marked clearly on the menu. My only criticism is that the kids macaroni + cheese was made with fake cheese sauce sometimes (but once it was real). At a nice place with these prices, I expect real cheese ALL the time. I highly recommend Butterfly Cafe whether or not you stay at the resort. :)

Most of the ladies who work there do not speak English just like in Miami, but there is always one who speaks a little English and if you can speak a little Espanol and point to what you want, you will get what you came there for. Our server was friendly and helped us get our favorite guava pastries. Their prices are very reasonable here. They were fresh baked and smelled so good! They also have Cuban coffee, iced and hot. They make delicious cakes and donuts. And the favorite there is the Cuban Sandwich, which is generously filled with ham, shredded pork, pickle, cheese and crusty bread. They also have pastelitos and croquettas. Parking is right in front of the super cute casa restaurant. There is outdoor dining and a few tables inside also. They have a drive-in also. It is clean and nicely decorated. We will go back next trip.

The flavor was excellent and the chicken very, very tender. I also ordered the Chile Releno because that's what I do. I went with only cheese. They do have a steak and cheese option. It was extra large and packed. The egg batter was thick. Lots of city workers and locals chilling out. All were very happy. The music plays and laughter filled the air. The staff is excellent, a little erratic on speaking English or not. The server was very attentive. I stumbled into El Molcajete on the walk back from fishing all morning. I was unable to finish it all and will have leftovers later. I'm glad I dropped on and will be back.
