Stopped to try out this coffee shop while in the Cedar Key area one morning. I did not know anything about it before stopping, but was impressed with the entire experience! While visiting family nearby in Chiefland, we stopped into Cedar Key one morning before our trip concluded. It was a Wednesday in July, and overall the area was not super busy. We came up to The Prickly Palm around noon on a Wednesday in July, and were one of a few customers there. This coffee trailer is located in the main part of Cedar Key. I recently learned that they used to have a brick and mortar, but that was unfortunately destroyed by the hurricane last year. Despite this, their trailer and whole current set-up is very cute and inviting. The trailer is set up along 2nd Street, and sits in the back of the lot. You will see a sandwich board sign indicating where the lot is, along with a ton of outdoor seating under tents. There is not a dedicated parking lot specifically for The Prickly Pear, but we had no issue finding street parking right near the entrance. The menu here is very diverse and full of variety! Not only do they have coffee, but there are also smoothies, açaí bowls, milkshakes, and breakfast items. I was especially impressed with the variety of flavoring for the coffees. Sometimes, places only have a few flavors. However, there was a solid collection of flavors and different combinations marketed for customers to choose from! It seems like there are seasonal options available, as they had a lot of banana coffee options on this particular day. I appreciated the different sizing options for the coffee. Especially for the iced, as typically a lot of local coffee places do not have bigger sizes (comparable to a Dunkin or Starbucks). The Large Iced is 32OZ, which was a pleasant surprise! They did seem to have a size for everyone, whether they want a lot of coffee or just a regular amount. I personally ended up ordering a Large Iced Banana Nut Mocha Latte, but requested half of the syrups to tone down the sweetness. It was really good! I am iffy at times on banana flavoring, as I am not a fan of artificial banana. Even so, I liked this latte and enjoyed it throughout the afternoon. The others I was with all enjoyed their drinks as well! This was my first time visiting here, and the employees could not have been more welcoming! I asked for recommendations and their favorites, and they gave a lot of good suggestions and information. There were three of us total, each getting a large latte or cold brew. The total was a little under $30 for all of it. So, this place is a little more expensive than other spots, but I do believe the value is there. Plus, you are supporting a small business which is a win! Loved visiting The Prickly Palm for the first time. We tend to come to the area at least once a year, and I look forward to our next visit so I can make another trip to The Prickly Palm for a delicious latte! I would recommend giving this spot a try if you find yourself in Cedar Key. read more

I put off having my first coffee until I arrived in Cedar Key so that I could enjoy it here at Prickly Palm. They're currently serving out of a food truck trailer but on a warm spring morning, it was lovely to sit under the covered "patio" and sip at my latte while I planned my exploration of the area. Fabulous coffee, friendly service and quick. The breakfast sandies look terrific - but not for me on my low carb diet. There's street parking nearby. Enjoy!

This place was delicious and adorable! Unfortunately, their brick and mortar building took a big hit during hurricane Helene and they are in the process of rebuilding. Please support the local businesses if you are in the area. Everyone was so friendly and the food and coffee was delicious! Service was made to order and they got busy right after we walked up so it took maybe 10 mins to get our food but it was so beautiful outside and several tables were open that we didn't mind. The honey cinnamon oat latte was delicious! read more

Delicious Breakfast with Heart We grabbed breakfast at the Prickly Pear food truck in Cedar Key and everything was delicious. The açaí bowls were fresh and packed with flavor, and the coffee and OJ were great too. You can tell there's a lot of love behind the food. That said, the prices were definitely on the high side--$60 for two açaí bowls, one coffee, and one orange juice. We completely understand they're trying to bounce back after the hurricanes, and we're all for supporting local. But $60 for one breakfast was a stretch... and $120 for two mornings just wasn't doable for us. Still, the quality was there, and we truly wish them the best. If prices were a bit more reasonable, we would've gladly returned the next day. Hopefully they keep thriving and can find that balance--because the food is absolutely worth coming back for. read more

This is a cute little establishment that was very close to the house we stayed at on second street. It was fairly busy on a Sunday morning but the wait for two smoothies wasn't too bad. We got the Cedar Key Sunrise (orange juice, strawberries, banana, pineapple, mango) and the Rosey Spoonbill (strawberries, coconut, pineapple, banana, coconut milk, white chocolate) smoothies. The smoothies were good, but they did not really wow us. They both tasted like something we could've made it home. Service was very pleasant and the shop was cute. It was a nice place to stop by in Cedar Key. read more

+ Shorted me on change + No receipt + Lattes were okay but a bit steep, given their quality + Sandwiches were expensive and extremely mediocre. Grocery-store bread and lunch meat on a $10 sandwich is a bit unreasonable. read more

The absolute cutest coffee shop! Coming to Cedar Key I was little afraid of not being able to find a good coffee shop just because the island is so small. Well, I didn't need to worry at all, the Prickly Palm was all I could have asked for! I went almost every morning we were there. Everything from their matcha, to their lattes, to their pastries, to their breakfast sandwiches were delicious! I highly recommend this super cute spot! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches! The coffee was delicious. One of the best frappes I have had. The açaí bowl came out melty but the granola was excellent on it and the fruit was fresh. Adorable interior and they also have outdoor seating too. read more

Super cute smoothie and coffee spot in the heart of Cedar Key. We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for a pick me up. We shared a Rosey Spoonbill smoothie, Atsena Otis açaí bowl and strawberry lemonade matcha. 10/10 for all of it. The staff were also super friendly and brought your order out to you. I highly recommend sitting in the front garden/patio area on a nice day. This was pretty much the only place to get any kind of healthy food on the island. read more

Yelp has never done us dirty, but some of the places that have been recommended in FL have been a BIG disappointment, and for the life of me, I can't understand how they've gotten such great reviews for mediocre food. Enter, The Prickly Palm! Yelp said it was closed this morning when it was actually open, and we happened to drive through town before having breakfast and saw that it was indeed open, so we grabbed a bite to eat. The ambiance is sooooo cute. Instagram worthy for those of you who care. The two employees were warm and friendly, and the food was the best breakfast we've had in this entire state so far! Their açaí bowl was a generous portion and tasted so fresh--the best one my husband and I have ever had--even over ones we've had in Hawaii and Costa Rica. The coffee was also outstanding. My husband is very particular when it comes to his coffee and brought 3 bags on our road trip from the PNW. He's almost out and bought a bag from here to tide him over for our trip back. We hope to find ourselves in Cedar Key again in the future and will definitely make another stop here when we do return. read more
