BEST breakfast in Key West in our humble opinions. This year we were visiting KW for 5 mornings…read moreand had breakfast there every morning. There are certainly other options to consider on KW. In the past we had breakfast at La Grignote in addition to a few others, but always came back for their friendly, welcoming hospitality, cleanliness and of course DELICIOUS fare. Everything we have ever had at La Grignote is leaps and bounds beyond expectations. Everything on the menu is homemade. If the choice includes syrup, it's the real deal - maple syrup. The whipped cream is really whipped cream - with real vanilla beans! The coffee is brilliant. Wait until you see how it is brewed! We cannot recommend this beautiful spot enough. Thank you to Katie and Denis and their incredible staff!

La Grignote is a charming little spot in Key West, and we were seated pretty quickly. It's a very…read moresmall restaurant, with just a few tables inside and some additional seating in a covered outdoor area, which gives it a cozy atmosphere. The service was excellent, and I had one of the strongest cups of coffee I've ever tasted. I ordered the French toast, and it was absolutely amazing. They also had a very good-looking selection of desserts and pastries that all looked delicious. There's something wonderfully quirky about the place, almost as if some old Key West spirit tucked away a little French café and enchanted it with the aroma of coffee, butter, and sugar. I wouldn't be surprised if the pastries were baked under a full moon. I would definitely return to try some of the other food. La Grignote is a delightful little find with great service, delicious food, and just the right amount of old-Key-West charm.

We were promptly seated upstairs on a busy Sunday morning. The older home offered charm and character in its dining spaces which we always appreciate. Our caramel latte and banana bread latte were the best coffee we had on this trip. For our meals we chose a seafood crepe and a veggie breakfast scramble which we thoroughly enjoyed. The portion sizes were perfect and the prices were fair. Be sure to consider this great restaurant for breakfast, lunch and or dinner while visiting Key West!

He was going to leave tip on the table (as boomers do) but the server literally brought back the check said "tip is not included" and dropped it back on the table. We counted the money like 4 times because we thought we had miscounted the bill but nope. She simply refused to check us out until she saw her tip included in the folder. Wonder what she would have done if we hadn't paid with exact change? Would she have just kept the change and not said anything? Very weirdo behavior!

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.

Our waitress was attentive, kind, and even with a lot of customers on her plate, she handled us with equal care and attention. She was so sweet and reminded us to hydrate on these blistering hot Florida days. The food overall I just feel like was mediocre, you pay what you get for type of situation. Nothing out of this world, greasy sausages and ham, etc. Kind of like a Denny's. Ambiance was nice, the place has an old-school charm. Tables were clean, oldies were playing. Lovely space. I would come again if I needed something quick and fast, otherwise I don't see myself eating here.

If there's lobster on the menu in Key West, apparently I'm legally required to order it. I went…read morewith the Lobster Bennie, because my Key West trip had officially become a lobster tour. And YES, I got a BLOODY too. It just felt necessary and when your on vacation if you do not start the day with a bloody mary you are doing it wrong. The service was great, and I absolutely loved the nautical atmosphere here. It has that classic coastal breakfast feel with all the little nautical touches that make you feel like you're actually on an island, not just sitting down for breakfast. It's cute, casual, and has so much character. The Lobster Bennie was the perfect Key West breakfast choice.

Four of us split the pancake board and each ordered a breakfast entree and quickly realized our eyes were way too big for our stomachs. All of the food was delicious and the portions were very generous. This location quickly became a staple in our rotation for brunch. The coffee was amazing and strong. They had dairy alternative milks and several housemaid syrups which I am always a sucker for. I highly recommend going at least once.. But if you visit once, you will want to go again. The staff was amazing and the floor and wall art was fun to just take in while you waited for your order.

The food was just okay for us. I ordered the filet medium/medium-well, but one piece was much too undercooked for me to eat, while another was good. The lobster also had a texture that I personally didn't enjoy. Maybe we simply picked the wrong dish, because overall, we still had a nice experience. I also have to give them credit for the little details -- my 4-year-old daughter got a cup that changes color with the ice, and she thought it was so entertaining! I haven't seen that in many restaurants, and it was such a fun touch for kids.

The food is excellent--flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and consistently satisfying--but what truly sets this place apart is the service, especially when you're seated at the bar. As a bar guest, I experienced something far above exceptional. It felt like walking into a place I already loved and being shown the very best of it by people who genuinely care. To the bartenders and staff who made every visit feel that way: Dairy-ah (I'm almost certainly butchering the spelling, but the pronunciation stuck with me), thank you for the warmth, the skill, and the way you made the bar feel welcoming every time. Lucy--always with the hat on backwards--you became my spirit animal the moment I realized how perfectly that energy matched the whole vibe of the place. Thank you for being exactly who you are behind that bar. Brittney, the chillest of them all: your calm, easy presence made everything feel lighter and better. Chelsea, I only got to have you serve me once, but that one time was enough to know how good you are at this. And to the Servers, Paul and Lola: even in our brief interactions while I was at the bar, both of you brought such strong, genuine personalities that it elevated the whole experience. Thank you for that. Blue Heaven is an amazing restaurant with great food and even greater service. But more than that, it's the people who make it feel like coming home and being shown the best time in a place you love the most. Thank you--truly--to all of you for making it feel that way. And to Henry, a longtime regular at the bar, who passed away during my visit. "His" presence was clearly part of the fabric of this place, and I'm grateful I got to share that space, however briefly, with the people who knew and cared for him.

When we walked to Doing Work Coffee, we were initially a bit confused and weren't sure we were in the right place. That's understandable, since it shares space with Wicked Lick Ice Cream. Fortunately, the owner noticed our confusion and warmly invited us in. Food: It wasn't listed on the menu, but they were happy to make me a London Fog tea latte. My son ordered a white chocolate latte. Both drinks were good. Personally, I prefer coffee served in a mug, and they only use paper cups, which took away a bit from the experience. They don't offer much in the way of baked goods, but they did have butterscotch scones. The scone was slightly too sweet for my taste, but the texture was excellent. They heated it for us, which made it even more enjoyable. Service: The service was exceptionally friendly. We felt genuinely welcomed, and the owner took the time to have a conversation with us. After hearing his story and seeing his commitment and work ethic firsthand, I found myself rooting for his success. Atmosphere: Since they share space with the ice cream shop, the environment isn't fully coffee-centric. Coffee is the focus earlier in the day, with ice cream taking over later. There is limited seating, and for me, part of the coffee shop experience is slowing down, drinking from a proper mug, and enjoying a calm, dedicated café environment. I'm not sure what their long-term plans are, but I hope they eventually move into their own space. They clearly care about what they're doing, and it would be great to see them grow into a full coffee shop experience. Best of luck to them.
