    Great selection of hot and cold coffee drinks plus bags of beans roasted right next door. The breakfast sandwiches were amazing and the best we’ve found in this area. They also have Kermit’s key lime pie and chocolate dipped pie.

    There are 4 Hyatt vacation club residences in Key West, check your address first as we went to the wrong one and wasted more than 1 hr. back and forth. The suite is very nice, spacious, well equipped, and easy to enjoy. But the check in time was 4 pm. and check out time was 10 pm. so it was very tight,and expensive. But watching sunrise at nearby bay was wonderful.

    We went here on a trip advisor recommendation and we’re so glad we did. Absolutely delicious Cuban sandwiches. We added a few splashes of their hot sauce which was just the right temp. We will definitely be back!

    Sometimes it Rains and it’s nice to be enjoy breakfast in a covered area - this place offers that. If look at the video you will see it is tucked inside and off the main road or side street. Food is excellent! I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon 🥓 and comes with rice and beans inside. I also ordered their local coffee - it was so good I ordered another! The gentleman who took my order was very kind and friendly - good sense of humor. I asked if he could add potatoes to my burrito and he said sure if you bring me some. 😂😂😂😂, they don’t have potatoes, and that was okay because the food was delicious.

    A brilliant chain of coffee☕️. This particular location has a roaster and the staff is very friendly. Would be happy to educate you on their coffee and the roasting patterns. Cool sitting area as well. Finding a parking is little tricky in this area. Also, this place is little inside the market which is easy to miss out if you don’t peak in the market. Totally recommend!

    This was our first time at the Cuban Coffee Queen. Order a large Cafe Con Leche and a Cuban American. Coffee was fresh as the beans were just ground up. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich, the Key Wester with the chorizo. Was enough for 2 to split. We ended up going back 2 days later and then ordered the same Coffee but had the Main Lander. Food is made fresh and hot, well worth the short 10 minute wait time. Will go back again next time we are in Key West.

    Cute outdoors coffee place with much more. Staff is incredibly nice, service is quick, and they will make it the way you want it. Wonderful atmosphere and attitude! Oh, they also have a shop, next door, where you can buy coffee and coffee chatzkes. Very cute.

    The coffee, chai, and turmeric drink are good. The staff are friendly and make drinks quickly. The black, yellow and wood decor gives a fun and lovely ambiance. The only potential issue is the amount of seating, but there are chairs and tables right outside (but still inside the air-conditioned mall).

    Very cute location. Fast and friendly services. Accesible pricing. THE BEST cuban sandwich I have ever tasted. Bread perfectly baked and fresh. Pork moist(you can taste the mojo). Cheese melted. Perfectly balanced. Iced coffee made with coffee ice cubes. All round strongly recommend it!

    One of, if not the best, places I have found to get coffee and a delicious breakfast sandwich in Key West. Charming little spot to enjoy your coffee while saying hello to the resident roosters.

    We visited Cuban Coffee Queen twice today and will be back tomorrow to try more of their menu. Today everything we tried was excellent from the awesome hot delicious Cuban cafe con leche and the raspberry pastry was amazing. We returned and tried the iced Expresso which had Expresso ice cubes to prevent the drink from getting watered down. Tomorrow we will try the breakfast menu along with Expresso again! All the employees we interacted with were helpful, nice, and went out of their way to service us. Make sure to get your punch card to earn your free coffee after enough purchases. I recommend trying Cuban Coffee Queen over the other locals and big chain stores.

    Only had a cold brew and the pina colada smoothie and both were awesome! Fun outdoor area, a shop next door that is grinding the coffee. Definitely want to come back and try the food but definitely recommend coming!

    The queen mix sandwich was super delicious, definitely a great lunch to try. I ordered an iced caramel coffee and loved how strong how it was but I wish it had more caramel, it barely had any. I also ordered the entree of mojo chicken, rice, and beans. We had to kindly request to heat up the chicken but it was cold and everything else was hot.

    If you like freshly ground strong coffee this is a definite must stop. I got my coffee straight up black and as potent as I could get it and it didn’t disappoint, if you drink it here you better know where the closest bathroom is😂 I also got a Key Wester with Bacon and it wasn’t that bad but the bacon could have been cooked a little longer “crispier” as it was “chewy” besides that I’d give the coffee a 5 and the food a 3.

    The Cuban Coffee Queen is more than a cafe - it's a must-visit culinary landmark nestled in the heart of Key West. We spent a beautiful morning there, immersed in its warm and welcoming atmosphere, and were completely captivated by its remarkable offerings. The aroma of the authentic Cuban coffee brewing was intoxicating, painting a bold and bright flavor profile that captured our senses from the very first sip. This captivating beverage, rich and balanced, was nothing short of a love letter to Cuban heritage. In addition to the spellbinding coffee, the breakfast bagel we savored was absolutely divine. It was fresh, perfectly toasted, and offered a fantastic balance between a crusty exterior and a soft interior. The exemplary service by the knowledgeable and cheerful staff, coupled with the cafe's charming ambiance, made the whole experience even more memorable. If you're in Key West and looking for a feast for your senses in the form of a delightful breakfast, the Cuban Coffee Queen should be your first stop. It's a fusion of authenticity, quality, and warmth that every foodie or coffee aficionado will undoubtedly cherish.

    I went here almost every day for coffee in my short stay at Key West. Mainly just for Cuban coffee but did manage to try out a couple of their sandwiches which were amazing. Great for taking out on the boat and enjoying a snack in the afternoon. Coffee was delicious and strong just how I like it. Mainly got the colada but tried a special drink that they were making but I've since forgot the name.

  • 4/5 Charley J. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee was a little bit above average. The food was really good. The honey bagel is really good and I won hundred percent recommend I did not try this with this but they look very good. The service was very nice and they were very reasonable with us. And treated us fairly.

    Came here for breakfast on our first day in Key West because we had seen it on YouTube and it looked great. We were not disappointed. The bargain of the decade is the Sunrise Special, half a sandwich and a cafe con leche. Just right for starting the day!

  • 5/5 Lisa A. 2 years ago on Google
    Looking for your morning coffee after a late night in Key West? Cuban Coffee Queen is the place to go! The best coffee around and many options available. And since it was only a block from the house, we had fantastic breakfasts here, too. The breakfast burrito with beans and rice is my recommendation. Also the tuna melt is truly excellent. Enjoy!

    Review is based on a café con leche and bucci (Cuban espresso shot). It’s hard to give a 5 when the espresso was served in a plastic shot cup. Another note, cafe con leche is served to drink immediately in all latin countries to include Other local Cuban spots in Key West. To be enjoyed immediately. I had to wait way too long for it to be pleasant. The taste was delicious when the right temperature was established. Maybe consider an investment in espresso shot glasses and temperature control on the cafe con leche.

    Cuban mix sandwich (mojo pork, Swiss cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato on pressed Cuban bread) fine but not amazing (though not a cubano expert). But the charming ambiance (rustic colorful wooden tables, roaming chickens and baby chicks, leafy trees, shaded patio retreat, coffee roaster next door) = 5 stars. Sandwich big enough for 2 to share.

  • 5/5 Ashley S. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried this place while on vacation in Key West and LOVED it! The sunrise special was just right for one person, and I got the cafe con leche iced with sugar. Their sandwiches are great, and their coffee is what made me come back a second time and buy a shirt and 2 bags of their dark roast coffee.

    Outdoor patio with some fans. No thrills Cafe. Large menu. Mocha was good so we bought some coffee bags to take with us home. Large menu but sandwiches we got were average, not very flavorful so not impressed. Smoothie was okay.

    Overall Experience: Awesome Items ordered: Tumeric con Leche ​Turmeric, cardamom, ginger, vanilla, honey, almond milk, Colada (Double Bucci with Cane Sugar), Havana Rice and Beans Ambience: Open Coffee store located back of the Key like square, this place is lil tricky to find but a beautiful store with colorful wooden seating rather I would say benches and there is a store next to it where we can buy the beans and coffee, you got to see the live coffee machines and coffee production, people working in the store are lil cranky though! I like the girl at the coffee shop, she was so informative and helped us explaining the breadth of the menu and what they are made up of- That’s how you get to know when we travel. Breadth of Items: I love their beans and rice so much. 😍 Coffee is astounding at this place and I had colada - espresso shot made of cane sugar which was lil bitter and gave sweetish edge. I had Cuban eggs and cheese which seems to be famous and I fell in love with the item.

  • 4/5 Steve 2 years ago on Google
    Very good coffee and food. It's a little pricey but the taste and quality make up for it. The bathrooms could use some improvement along with ambience. Definitely check out if you want a quick shot of espresso or bread with quava.

  • 5/5 Brian F. 2 years ago on Google
    Fresh roasted Cuban love in a cup. Hidden in the back courtyard so don't miss it. The food is amazing as well so don't think it's just about the coffee...

  • 5/5 Klaus P. 2 years ago on Google
    Super friendly staff and owner, it was a great visit and great to see that little manufacturing. The coffee taste great and we really enjoyed the location.....nice break in the morning.

    So good, you'll have a hard time going back to regular coffee. The Cafe con Leche was so good so fresh. Definitely going back for more!
