How am I just now discovering this fabulous cafe here in Key West?! I came here with a few others for lunch and settled on ordering the Roasted Cuban Pork Sandwich, a few the others in my group ordered steak tacos and fish tacos and they raved about them! As for my sandwich, I'm going to be thinking about that one for a while.. the pork was perfectly moist and flavorful not even remotely dry. I also had a side of beans and rice and they were just as delicious. I regret not trying a cup of espresso while here as I heard wonderful things about it. Next time!! The staff were friendly enough. Can't wait to come back here and try other menu items. read more

Amazing cuban sandwich! Came here for a coffee a few mornings while on vacation and made the stop for lunch one day, as well. I ordered the Cuban Mix to go and I'm telling you, it was insanely good. I switched out the cheese because I'm not a fan of swiss. It was SO GOOD. Huge portion for the price.d the bread is toasted perfectly and is able to support all of the fillings. The sandwich is unimproveable and the staff is super friendly, whether you're coming at 6am or 2pm. There are a few seats outside, but it's mainly a to-go situation. read more

The only problem with Sandy's is it's too good. Cuban sandwiches, nachos, carnitas tacos, key lime pie. Order everything you can and then order some more. read more

There's usually a pretty good line. You can call ahead but def phenomenal and authentic. Right down to the olives in the meat. Also quite generous portions. It's a walk up window on the street next to a laundromat so don't expect a lot of bells and whistles. read more

Sandy's Cafe is a well known sandwich spot in Key West. It's an easy pick up and go place. However, they do have limited seating out front. The beef empanadas are actually pretty good. Seasoned Cuban ground beef filled inside of a crispy, fried dough. The dipping sauce which is similar to a ketchup/mayo is very good, too. The Cuban sandwich kind of left me unsatisfied. The bread was just okay. In my opinion, they used too much sliced ham and not enough mojo pork. The sandwich also wasn't pressed long enough because the cheese wasn't fully melted. Their Cuban coffee is very good. Sandy's is good for appetizers and coffee not so much for sandwiches. read more

I am fairly new to Cuban sandwiches, having my first only a couple years ago in my state, but OMG the Cuban Mix from Sandy's is seriously worth the flight to Key West just for it! It is seriously so amazing. It was big enough to share between the me and my mom for our lunch. They were quick and very friendly. We even had the basic Cuban later in the same day for dinner with family, again big enough to share. I will say I highly prefer the Cuban Mix (no lettuce for us) over the Cuban plain. I cannot wait to share this place and a TRUE Cuban sandwich with my husband, I know he will love it just as much as we did. (PS my mom LOVED the bread so much!!) read more

Delicious Latin food. The burritos are incredible and the Cuban coffee is some of the best coffee I've had in key west

The happy hour is good here, I stayed for a few drinks. The food was okay, I liked my conch fritters but my friends didn't enjoy their chicken tenders. She said they were small and pretty much just a basket of fries with 2 small tenders. The view was nice and at first we had a table right next to a big fan, which was perfect for the hot day. But a few minutes after we got there, an employee came and moved the fan even though we asked him to leave it. I'd stop by for a drink but probably wouldn't stay long. read more

Soooo delicious! Make sure you have time to wait because it usually has a line and takes some time to get your order. read more

Long Distance Review Time: Sandy's Cafe (Key West) Ever since I left Key West 2 years ago, I have been patiently waiting to get back to have a Cuban sandwich. My first option was not available, so we went where a local suggested. My fingers are crossed this will cure my 24 month craving? Tucked on busy road, attached to a laundry mat you will find this little cafe. I decided to go with a traditional Cuban sandwich, and my other half got the Cuban Mix with all the fixings. I thought all of the ingredients were overall very good, but my pickles were not drained very well. So unfortunately, my sandwich became very soggy extremely fast. Overall review: super fast and friendly service (5/5) and food (4/5) not the best Cuban I have had here in Key West and extremely soggy bread, but overall better than any Cuban I have had in my home town... read more

I had a friend that told me about Sandy's cafe and how it was the best Cuban in Key West. I didn't believe him at first until I took the first bite of the perfectly warm and crisp bread, tender, flavorful meat, and refreshing lettuce, tomato, and pickles. This Cuban was absolutely legit! I don't doubt their other menu items are just as good. There is limited outdoor seating but most people seemed to just order to go. There isn't a parking lot but just parallel parking spots on the street. You may have to take a short walk but it's totally worth it. Prices aren't terrible. This is the kinda place you can get a lot for a little money. The spot has been around for a long time so the place looks aged, but photogenic. It's a not a 5 star dining facility but I'd bring a date here. Will definitely be one of my go to stops whenever I visit Key West read more

The best empanada I've had in my life, and the Cuban, the Cuban was life-changing. I'm not gonna lie. There was a wait, but once I sat on the seawall and unwrapped my package the realization hit me, that I have been waiting a lifetime for this... as the juices trickle down, my beard, moisture materialized in my eyes.... I knew at that moment that there is a God, and he has blessed this little hole in the wall gem at the far side of the world. read more
