Kermit's Key West offers a delightful assortment of key lime pie on a stick, dipped in various…read morecoatings such as chocolate, coconut, white chocolate, and several other tempting flavors. They also sell miniature cookies that taste remarkably like key lime pie, each one dusted in flavored powders.
The main attraction, however, is the cake counter, where numerous varieties of key lime pie await their fate. The pies come neatly packaged in small takeout containers, making them wonderfully convenient to carry while wandering about Key West, or to bring home before the Florida heat claims them.
The shop itself is rather small, with limited room for indoor dining. There is outdoor seating available, though most visitors simply claim their chosen delicacy and disappear into the streets, leaving only the faint scent of lime and sugar behind.
Naturally, I asked whether I might speak with Kermit himself. I was informed that he was away on a visit to Fraggle Rock and had recently suffered an unfortunate encounter with the Count. The details were not discussed, though the silence that followed was ominous.
All in all, Kermit's Key West is a convenient and enjoyable stop for anyone with a fondness for key lime pie. The variety is excellent, the portions are easy to handle, and the desserts are perfect for enjoying on the move or surviving whatever strange adventures may await beyond the door.
