    Came here for breakfast and there was a lineup out the sidewalk, it’s a popular place! I tried the Cubano especial breakfast (beans and rice were so good) and the Cuban sandwich. I also got a cafe con leche. The food was good value for what you get but I did not enjoy the coffee, too bitter for me. There’s lots of outdoor seating.

    Friendly but slow service. Just wanted to get a soda, took me 5 minutes as only customer waiting in queue. Also more expensive than other places. Though a big plus imo, is the surrounding terrasse. I know Ana's places around in Key West. Usually it's more satisfying than this experience. Gonna correct whenever my next visit gets better. Actually editing my review : going from 4 to 1 stars Because : while sitting here, the actual owner (as he introduced himself) walked around and jumped around like crazy to chase the chickens and roosters (imo he was more than drunk)... However, asking him if he is alright, he answered "this is my f$#king business, do you have a f$#king problem? then f$#king leave!". Shouting and being riding and remembering to behave himself didn't help. And all I earned was "this is my f$#kimg business". Well great behavior. So far my overall LAST visit at any Ana's shops around Key West. For this incident o highly recommend to AVOIR THIS PLACE !

    I stopped by for lunch, and it was honestly some of the best food I ate on my whole trip. I got the Cuban Pork Platter, and it was absolutely delicious. Sat on the patio in front of a big fan, and cooled off with an iced tea. I will certainly be back.

    I look forward to this popular cafe when visiting Key West. They serve breakfast and lunch and close at 3pm, and the attached grocery/convenience store stays open beyond that. Breakfast sandwiches, omelettes. I had the Cuban Especial. Very generous portions and filling, served with Cuban toast—yummy. For lunch they have platters and sandwiches. I would like to try their pork platter or fish of the day. And their coffee is rich and delicious! Walk up window, outdoor seating with awning for at least partial shade, prices reasonable.

    The sandwiches were very good so I’m needing more salt and pepper in a good local area. Mini hotels around lasted about 30 minutes that you could stay in there as many different options of sandwiches you can pick there was a bunch of chickens and nice people around to greet us, it’s a walkable distance from anywhere and if you want to get dessert after there’s a Lotta good dessert places around it’s very close to the southernmost point and it would be a great place to eat after going and visiting. It’s also close to the Hemingway house, which is a great tourist destinations.

    Stopped by to get a coke. Small and busy little store but had what you needed. Someone in our group needed a toothbrush. Had the Cuban sandwich and it was great!

    Great Cuban- probably the best of 3 I ate in Key West. Smoothies are delicious too and it’s a short walk to the southernmost tip.

    Can't miss Cubanos. Go inside and order at the deli counter...there is another restaurant attached to the same building that is something else. Grab a seat on the porch and enjoy.

  • 5/5 Vicki K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good coffee and breakfast offerings all with Cuban flavors. I ate there several mornings as it was located close to southernmost point at the southeast side of the Island. They have a market that is well stocked for home and visitors.

    Wow! GREAT coffee and fabulous breakfast sandwiches!! Friendly staff too! This place is a must stop for breakfast when in Key West. Quite possibly the best cup of coffee I have ever had

    Delicious and so unique!! Bought some cuban iced coffee and handmade key chains here, made by the barista! Reasonably priced and a nice shady spot to sit.

  • 5/5 Kendra W. 10 months ago on Google
    This was my favorite cuban sandwich!! I did not stay and eat at the cafe so I cannot speak to the atmosphere but I took my cuban to the beach and it was the perfect lunch! The sandwich was huge and delicious. Also, all the staff was super helpful and friendly!

    Excellent 'walk-up' dining venue. We dropped by for coffee & breakfast handhelds & couldn't have been more delighted! The couple in the window (he on the coffee / her taking the orders) were most welcoming & helpful. Food was delivered hot & fast ... just wonderful!

    Let’s talk delicious, yes? First, the flavors were immaculate, toasted flaky Cuban bread, tender pork, juicy ham, melty cheese, pickle, mayo and mustard…delicious. Second, options! They have habanero style or spicy options, with different cheeses and mayos. Third, it’s a deli counter, but inside of a little store, where you can buy small groceries, drinks, beer, stuff like that. Fourth, the customer service was fantastic! Last, but not least, the price was great! Not only for what you get, but it wasn’t gouged and was absolutely worth it!! A little bummed they didn’t have the restaurant side open for the full experience, but the sandwich was more than enough to be content!! They have a porch area with plenty of seating and people watching. Go try it!!

    The Original Cuban sandwich was incredible. The pork had such great flavor and the whole sandwich was a beautiful balance of savory meat, tart pickles, and pungent, yet subtle mustard. All wrapped in lovely, crispy Cuban bread. The staff was super warm and welcoming. You've GOT to try this place. Street-side dining on *clean* tables made for a perfect brunch setting.

    Ana's is awesome! Fantastic breakfast options and coffee. Great lunch options. Sandwiches and Cubans were excellent. Conch fritters were the best we could find. Dine there or take out. Fast service. Friendly staff. Great general store. Can order a Cuban sandwich after hours too.
