    Great little snack shack on the beach. They offer many options for food, not the typical frozen fish sandwich or french fries that you would expect. Service is friendly and fast, even though they must be so hot in there! Everything is fried though, so something to keep in mind. You order at the window and they give you a post it with your number on it. When your order is ready they announce your number over the speaker system they have there and you pick up your order. Super easy! Lots of picnic table style seating and hungry birds looking for a snack. Everything was very clean as it's right next to the showers for people to rinse the sand off before walking up to the eating area. We tried the fried okra, zucchini, and grilled cheese. The fried okra and zucchini were so good. Perfect beach snack! They also offer fountain drinks and frozen lemonade. The lemonade is a bit too sweet for me, but still refreshing when it's 90 degrees at the beach!

    Excellent selection of fast food and local not tourist prices. Food was fresh and delicious. Pop was Pepsi and had a good formula. Taste was right on with expectations.

    Lots of seating

    This place has pretty decent food for a beach cafe! It's a little expensive... I mean $10 something for two chicken fingers & fries... but it's good food! I was impressed! Their frozen lemonade & slushees are great! It's pretty much the only place for food, but it's good!

    Coconut Shrimp with French fries and Cole Slaw..... so delicious!!

    Came here for the first time with some friends while visiting town on an adventure day. While at the beach we decided to get a bit and ate here. We ordered the following: coconut shrimp, cheeseburger with bacon and cheese, fish and chips and mahi wrap and side of onion rings..... all the food was outstanding!!! The atmosphere was super relaxed and chill. Amazing overall experience A+++

    Mediocre food...pretty pricey. Rude clerk. Four stars because of the beautiful location and the cheese fries hit the spot (:

    I loved my bacon, egg and cheese panini on an everything bagel! Nice and flat! Today i got another…read moreone and a smoothie. Nice little food truck with outdoor seating under cover.

    Stopped to try out this coffee shop while in the Cedar Key area one morning. I did not know…read moreanything 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.
