    This place opens at four in the morning. If you have an early morning this is a great place to start the day. The sandwiches are really good and the coffee is hot, really hot. Give yourself some time to let it cool or you will scald your mouth.

    You can't judge the atmosphere because it's perfect for what it is, the service is great and the food is simple. Without a doubt. Doubt the best empanadas on Key West! You got to get there early because they close late afternoon, make them in the morning and when they're gone they're gone. Definitely legit. Must try foodie spot

    First time trying "The Best Coffee in Town" and we will definitely be back. The coffee was amazing and we had a bacon, egg, cheese breakfast sandwich on Cuban bread. Yum! They do have the best coffee, everyone needs to check this place out.

    This place was right down the street from where we stayed in Key West. We ate there every morning. The Cuban Latte with a breakfast sandwich was perfect. The bacon, egg, and cheese was by far my favorite. The sandwiches are pretty big, and they're made with fresh baked Cuban bread. Excellent place to grab a quick to-go breakfast in the morning.

    We came over to do laundry while on vacation and ordered coffee and a pastry while we waited. Felix asked how sweet I wanted my coffee and I said 3. He then asked if I was getting a pastry and I said yes. He said I didn’t want that much sugar then and he would fix my coffee the way it should be. He was correct! The coffee and pastry were wonderful. I wish I discovered this place our first day here. We will be back every morning from here on out.

    The coffee ☕️ really was good and don't leave w/o having their meat empanada. Good enuf to have 2. Next time, I want to try their Cuban sandwich.

    So I'm not personally crazy about the style of coffee in the keys, but the iced coffee here was one of the better ones I had. What I went back for the second day in a row were the chicken empanadas. They were THE BEST empanadas I've ever had. Rent a bike (or drive) and head up to this spot a little ways of the main tourist path. It's a walk up window only with just a few stools outside, but grab your food and find a shady bench nearby.

    They serve the best Cuban coffee I've ever had anywhere. One of the best coffees I've ever had in my life. And, it hits that mark every time. My regular morning ritual every day I'm in Key West.

  • 5/5 Gelo Z. 7 months ago on Google
    Good food and coffee in key west. 13 bucks for coffee and sandwich which is not bad. Will come back again.

  • 5/5 QueenofCommand 4 months ago on Google
    I wish I could even articulate how much we love this place. We stayed in Key West for a month and genuinely looked forward to getting our coffee from Edwin every morning. Not even a few days in he had memorized both of our orders and had them ready for us by the time we got to the counter. Not to mention we’re both coffee snobs to the max and this is quite easily, the best coffee in town.

    Excellent service from a friendly barista. If you like bitter coffee this is your place. I did not enjoy the coffee :( but prices are far.

  • 5/5 Cafe C. 1 year ago on Google
    The best ham, egg and cheese sandwich on the island. We like it with butter and mustard and of course a cafe conleche.

  • 5/5 Magnus W. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious sandwiches! Loved the Cuban mix. Very friendly staff

  • 1/5 Rebecca K. 1 year ago on Google
    Buyer beware. This coffee is so strong and bitter. My partner ended up in the emegency room after drinking one large coffee here due to caffeine overdose. Thankfully I took one sip and threw mine out.

  • 5/5 Sean K. 1 year ago on Google
    It truly is the best coffee in town. Dead giveaway - you'll only see locals there! One of the few places that serve decaf Cuban coffee. Love the cheese bread!

  • 5/5 Rebekah C. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 EsquaredELE 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and coffee. Super friendly service. I happened upon them by just trying to find a place in Google Maps to just get a bite for lunch. The reviews were spot on. I would definitely recommend visiting this business.

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Got in town super early. Needed some coffee and a snack. I settled for coffee as they were not selling sandwiches at 3:45 am. Delicious!! Great cup of coffee. And minutes from our place we rented. Will be back probably later today
