This has to be one of the best meals I have ever eaten in Key West. This mainly vegetarian restaurant presents a wide variety of very fresh, very tasty dishes from salads, to noodle bowls, to even breakfast. The salad I had was one of the most flavorful salads I've ever had and it was so filling. Their juices are spectacular as well and the vibe is so chill. Will definitely be back in the future and can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

A great find for Vegans! So lucky and happy we found this wonderful place with lots of options for vegetarians and vegans. I had a delicious veggie burger and my boyfriend enjoyed his huevos rancheros. Super cute decor, friendly and fast service. Although they didn't have a vegan Key Lime pie on the menu, the waitress was able to tell me where to get one in Key West. We took her advice and we were pleased to find that she was correct, the Moondog Cafe & Bakery had a Key Lime Pie Tart. This place is a haven for Vegans and Vegetarians. If you're one of those (or just want to enjoy healthy food) and find yourself in Key West, you must go here for a terrific meal. read more

While visiting key west, I was addicted. Dinner two nights in a row! Being one of a few Vegan friendly restaurants, they get very busy. Thankfully, Service is very friendly. In addition, There is plenty of indoor seating. I enjoyed everything we ordered. I personally loved the vegan quesadilla although the extra $3 for vegan cheese, ridiculous. Another favorite was the vegan spinach gyozas. I'd be remissed not to mention their vegan carrot cake & vegan key lime pie. 10/10 must try. Ambience is casual island vibes. read more

So nice, we ate there twice. The good: -Service was very friendly. Our first night there wasn't too busy, but coming back on a Friday this place was pretty packed. -Blackened mahi mahi sandwich was great! -Vegan quesadilla also very delish. -Vegan carrot cake was perhaps one of the best we've had. Super moist cake and pretty realistic "cream cheese frosting". The not so good: -Can't complain nothing to report. Would absolutely come back. read more

Our experience at The Cafe was wonderful! We were looking for a plant based option for breakfast and we were greeted with a wonderful waitress, the atmosphere was colorful and cheerful! She started out offering a variety of fresh juices. My husband had orange and I had the watermelon cucumber lime juice which was very refreshing. We ordered the Panchos Huevos Rancheros but substituted the egg for tofu scramble, yummy! My husband's first time subbing the tofu instead of just egg and he is sold now! The meal was very filling and tasty and they gave salsa and vegan mayo! Large cafe and service was excellent! Loved this place and would recommend to anyone going vegan or not! read more

Great spot, nice menu & staff, no smoothies unfortunately which is what we came for. Juices were tasty tho!

I've been here every year I come to visit Key West so I was excited to come and visit again :-). During this visit, I visited twice and both experiences were the same unfortunately. The place is adorable. The drinks were delicious in the food is quite yummy.. They are understaffed and the service suffers because of that. Won't be back since there are other vegan options now in KW. read more

For a place with such a generic/vague name and a very eclectic menu of mostly American menu but also interestingly a variety of Asian-inspired dishes, I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. I tried the cafe piccata with tofu ($25) and truly loved the piccata flavors which actually went very well with the crispy tofu. The veggies were fresh, and the dish arrived hot after less than 10 minutes. The staff were very friendly toward every customer, and you could tell they are genuinely kind people. read more

Plenty of vegan options - yay!! the vacation struggle as a vegan is finding something that isn't a salad to eat. the cafe has plenty of vegan options that aren't just vegetables. we got the very veggie pizza with vegan cheese, hummus and pita, un-wing dings (hot), sweet potato fries, and carrot cake. after i added a little bit of salt, everything was delicious. The un-wing dings were tofu pieces fried and tossed in sauce which I really enjoyed - on vacation i miss tofu the most. the pizza was thin and crispy with lots of veggies and melty vegan mozzarella. the pizza also came with a salad that had a very yummy balsamic type dressing. the pita was soft and the hummus was flavorful. the perfect end to our meal was the vegan carrot cake. I do not typically like carrot cake but decided to try. It was soooo moist and not overly chunky. The frosting could have been just a bit sweeter but overall delicious. the service was great and the food came out quicker than I expected. read more

I LOVE finding a restaurant with a vegetarian/pescatarian menu! The food here was so delicious and so obviously made fresh, it was delightful. The spring rolls were the standout of our meal, piping hot, crispy, HUGE, and served with the most delicious sauce. 10/10, you have to order them! The decor is super kitschy and fun, and the staff was so so friendly! Their draft list needed updating, but I won't hold that against them haha. Bathroom was cute, they had a lovely sugar scrub available which was a nice touch. read more

Love their Kale salad! Never disappoints. Their teas are refreshing as I don't like sweet tea's. Prompt service and nice inside and outside sitting. Went early and missed the crowd. Enjoy! read more

I love The Cafe. The service is great, the food is so good. The spinach salad is amazing. This place will not disappoint

It's been a year since I was last in key west and loved this place, an oasis of healthy food at reasonable prices with fun atmosphere, great service and location. I'm thrilled to see that nothing has changed and that this place is thriving. I wish there were more like it on the island read more

My husband and I were in Key West for 4 days and ate here 5 times during that stay, the food was so good. We are vegan and visited family that are non-vegan and picky. They were happy with their choices as well. Between all of our visits we had the blackened tofu salad, blackened tofu wrap, special blackened tofu picatta, curry "chicken" salad, and sprouted sandwich. It was all absolutely delicious and with generous portions and very reasonable, more than fair prices. My family had the green goddess omelette, the Benedict, and the Caprese. Everything was excellent, the staff was friendly, and the setting was comfortable and easy. We wish we had a restaurant like this back home. read more

I have to show major love to The Cafe! It's probably my favorite place to eat in all of key west. Simply for the food. The dining room is colorful and cute, but the food is by far 5 stars and beyond. I've eaten here so many times, and every time I have the best meals. My absolute favorite is the stir fry. I love the tofu and the peanut sauce. The red Thai curry is also delicious but the Peanut sauce is my faaaave. I always leave with a to-go box when I order the stir fry, it's a lot! The salads are also huge and delicious. I've had the quinoa & avocado, the roasted beet & carrot, and also the curried "chickn" salad. All were amazing and filling. The Brussels sprouts appetizer is soooo good! The cold soba peanut noodles are one of my favorites, and the curry soup (on special sometimes) is insanely delicious. Although I'm not a fan of spring rolls, these are thick like mini burrito size! The spinach dumplings were OK, but the polenta sticks and sweet potato fries are awesome. Oh, and the specials menu has a stuffed avocado appetizer that's soooo delicious!! Love that one! For entrees, the curried butternut squash is so unique and delicious. It's an entire squash, open faced, and stuffed with quinoa, Brussels, chickpeas, and more. Yumm. Theres usually a pasta special, and the creamy lobster ravioli is aaaamazing. The fish tacos are also so good! Seriously I've eaten almost everything here and it's hard to pick a favorite because everything is seriously that good!! I've never ordered the pizzas, but I've seen others order pizza and it looks amazing. Everyone needs to eat here, I want the Cafe to stay in business for a long time!! Even if you're not vegan or vegetarian, they have fish, and the plant-based meats are so damn good you'll hardly tell the difference. Try it!! Thank me later! read more

Thursday night 8:15pm, pressed for time, called in for a pick up Mahi Mahi sandwich with a side salad with blue cheese dressing on the side. Arrived at restaurant at 8:30pm and paid for the sandwich. Got my sandwich at 9:10pm. Almost 1 hour wait for a sandwich since the phone order. Restaurant was nearly empty. Sandwich smaller than my phone. Dry fish, perhaps from cooking the fish for almost an hour. They placed the blue cheese dressing container and another dressing container i did not ask for inside the small side salad take out box. Got half a side salad since the two container took up all the room in the box. Four bites and the sandwich is gone. Three bites and the salad is gone. Over $22 dollars for baby portion. Value - $22 dollars for a few bites of food, dry fish, and an hour of waiting time. Had to get a burger from Wendy's afterwards. Waitress was nice, apologized deeply while handing over my food.... that's not a good sign. She passed on a chance to make it right. read more

For the evening of June 1, 2025. Let me first start off by saying, Door Dash gets ZERO STARS for customer service. No showed up to pick up the food and there is no one to take a phone call. They cannot even responsibility on why you want your money back. The waitress who worked there that night tried calling door dash twice because our food was sitting there over an hour. At the same time, I called there twice. She took it upon her self to deliver it to us. She should what GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE they have there. I basically forced her to take the tip I offered. We actually went there the next to offer to pay for the food and they declined it because of door dashes complete failure to pickup and deliver our food. OH BY THE WAY, THE FOOD WAS GREAT!!!! AGAIN ..... I applaud that waitress for what she did for us and for really caring about the customers. read more

While visiting we use reviews and seek out new places to try and when we came across the reviews for this place, we wondered how we've missed it in our many past trips, because the reviews were very nice! So, we stopped in for lunch on a weekday and they were moderately busy when we got there; by the time we left, they turned all tables twice! So, clearly they're very popular with the locals! Their menu is an interesting mix of Asian, as well as standard American and tropical fare. We started with their spinach gyoza dumplings and they were INCREDIBLE! So much flavor!! Next up was a side salad, as I wanted to try one of their interesting freshly in-house made dressings and I tried their miso-ginger dressing... it was excellent and the salad was loaded with fresh veggies and leafy greens! Their sandwiches are what we opted for as entrées - Excellent choice, as they were fresh and tasty! Very nicely done!! In all, we really enjoyed our lunch, so we came back for drinks later that evening, as they have freshly made juices they use in their sangrias. The sangrias were decent as well. We'll definitely return when we're in town next! read more

Food was super fresh and yummy. I loved the juice. I also tried a limeade and thought that was delightful. My boyfriend loved the soup. I also really enjoyed my sandwich with house made seitan and veggies as well as vegan cheese and three bean salad. The salad was refreshing and filling. We walked here in the rain with our umbrellas and it was a nice walk despite the weather and worth it for the adventure. The inside is nice and our server was attentive. read more

This place is the BEST on the entire island. The food, the service, the vibe. My partner and I ate here 5 times during our stay and it was a different food journey every single time. Their menu is packed with amazing dishes along with their drink menu. Juan served us the most during this time and he was seriously one of the most personable people I've ever met and his service was unmatched. He makes you feel at home( everyone does) but he made us feel like locals and it meant everything to us. I would highly recommend coming here at least once during your stay. The Cafe will be the first place I stop when I come back for a visit! Highly recommend! read more

Great place of you want healthier food with plenty of vegan options. Located near Duval Street but without all that noise and crowds. They have few tables outside and pretty large space inside. My husband wasn't that hungry so he got their mussels appetizer which was still huge. Definetly for more than one person. It was served with delicious spicy broth and side of ciabatta bread. With so many vegan options I had a hard time choosing, but went with the Pepper 'steak' and Swiss sandwich made vegan with sweet potato fries. The portion was huge and I was able to eat only half of the sandwich. Fries were fresh but didn't have any salt. I didn't like the sauce that came with fries, too much celery. I wasn't sure if it was vegan so I left out anyway. They carry quite a lot of vegan desserts, so I got their key lime pie and cocunt cake to go. Both were very good, the key lime pie tasted like vegan cheesecake but more tangy, the cocunt cake was dense and coconuty and delicious. One of the best vegan cakes I had. Highly recommend trying this place. read more

amazing options for vegans and vegetarians. Quick fast service on the pricier side for cafe food but well worth it!

Consistently excellent! Alicia has to be one of the most cheerful and delightful server/bartenders I have met. She is attentive, conversational and took great care of us during our lunch visit. The curried chicken salad sandwich is excellent. The curry and coconut flavor is so yummy in this sandwich. The ciabatta bread was fresh and the side of beans were outstanding. The side salad is a generous portion loaded with different salad ingredients. In addition to lettuce, there was zucchini, broccoli, carrots, bean sprouts and many others. There are tons of vegan options, fresh, creative juices and a bar. Inside is inviting, colorful and clean. Wonderful experience! read more

We came upon the cafe while strolling around in Key West on a hot day. It seemed very welcoming and perfect for a delicious healthy lunch. It was!!!

All excellent including my verbana green tea iced tea of the day. The menu is mostly vegetarian. Service was super friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a great lunch in Key West.

Cafe style dining with a wide variety of vegetarian options. There are great fish options and some chicken as well for meat lovers. We were seated right away around 7pm on a Saturday. Our food was made fast and fresh. The taste was good but over-sauced. I would definitely come back but plan to request that half the sauce be used compared to normal as the stir fry was just too salty to eat. The vegetables were fresh and I did pick those along with the delicious shrimp out but, sadly, had to leave the rice that was drowning in sauce. Our server was splitting time between his tables and the to go orders so we sat for a little while at the end waiting for our check. Overall I would give this place another chance, the menu options all look amazing and I would like to try more! read more

Got tired of bar food and found this place based on other reviews. Had the mozzarella sandwich with a side salad with balsamic dressing. Both were excellent! The iced tea was a ginger green tea. It was unexpectedly tasty. Good service. Nice ambiance. Overall the menu leans towards vegan but you can add proteins if you wish. Will definitely add this to our list of favorites. read more

Amazing food! We had the daily brew ice tea...pear and something- fabulous. The breakfast sandwich with mozzarella; pesto and egg was the best flavor combo EVER!
