    This place is a MUST TRY for the food and the amazing service. It is family owned and operated. The Cuban food is the best I have had in the states. Please go you won't be sorry. Since they make all the food there from scratch they can make slight modifications if you ask but please try it first with no modifications to get the true Cuban experience.

    Amazing. Authentic Italian handmade with a wood fired pizza oven. Pizzas are delicious and large mostly $6 or $7. Nothing on the menu is over $10. Only a 30 to 40 minute drive (29 km) east of Havana. Super delicious five stars highly recommended. Nice way to see a bit of the rural area outside of Havana as well.

    We visited Il Piccolo in January 2008 and I'm happy to see it's still open. We had a wonderful time here. The service was very pleasant and the pizza was fantastic. They have their own vegetable garden, raise their own poultry and grouse and have an authentic Italian wood-fired pizza oven.

    Chorizo and veggie tacos with cafe con leche, what a perfect breakfast. Sat in this little cafe for several hours drinking coffee, eating, & working. Staff accomodating and very friendly. A lot of options for all meals. Loved our little morning here!

    The Mrs. treated me to a birthday celebration in Key West and we just happened upon Key West Cuban Coffee. The food was awesome and the customer service…incredible! They serve breakfast thru dinner and have an extensive menu so, in four days we visited the spot 3 times.

    This place is the best food in Key West, and that’s saying ALOT. It was so delicious that we went back to make it our final dinner while visiting. We had the birria quesadilla, birria tacos, Cuban mix sandwich, fried plantains, and fried cheese (over several different meals). The staff members are extremely friendly and inviting. The food is made fresh and comes out hot! Don’t trust the bad reviews, those are people that will never be happy with anything in life. We heard the people next to us complaining because the meal came with two pieces of toast. Really. This was our first trip to Key West and I will be back for this food. Do yourself a favor and try it out, I promise it won’t disappoint.

    (Translated by Google) We were very happy to discover this place after our arrival in Guanabo! We went there three times in the evening. Super delicious pizza (stone oven!) And pasta, not to be compared with Germany. Large selection of drinks, great prices! Service top. (Original) Wir waren sehr froh nach unserer Ankunft in Guanabo dieses Lokal zu entdecken! Wir waren insgesamt dreimal dort abends essen. Super leckere Pizza (Steinofen!) und Pasta, mit Deutschland nicht zu vergleichen. Getraenkeauswahl riesig, Preise super! Service Top.

    Tiny little place. No parking. The service was so so and the food was not memorable. I asked the server to suggest something unique for me to try. She simply suggested the most expensive item on the menu. When I saw what other people ordered from nearby tables, I was jealous. I wish I got yo try their dishes but I was full by then.

    The cuisine is just amazing and so tasty 👅 ! You need to try this restaurant if you’re near Duval Street.

  • 5/5 Jordan M. 7 months ago on Google
    Wow. I can not gush enough about this place! It’s cute and local and the food was absolutely to die for. We had croquetas, arepas, and coffee. You could tell the food was fresh and made with all the love in the world. The food was like a hug from my abuelita who passed. And was a kiss on the cheek from all my tias who cook for dozens of cousins every holiday season. The coffee using cafe bustelo was delectable and overall the people who run this place were so friendly and were so hard working. This is absolutely going to be a “must” EVERYTIME we come back to Key West.

  • 5/5 evert b. 1 year ago on Google
    So their menu says “Key Lime Pie - The best in key west made from scratch “ I can tell you these owners are not messing arrangements and the are not exaggerating! Go get their key lime pie NOW

  • 5/5 Manos D. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a must-try when you are in Key West. The owner is fantastic, friendly and easy to talk to. The atmosphere is wonderful and laid back. The Cuban coffee is excellent. I asked for mine to not be as strong and they did just that. The food is excellent and they serve a great breakfast. I recommend this restaurant, for food or for coffee and will definitely be visiting again.

    Firstly, the huge menu gives you a variety of options. We opted for the beef empanada, shredded beef arepa, and homemade Mexican chorizo breakfast bowl. Putting avocado on the side of the bowl yielded a full avocado in a small dish, they are very generous with that. The empanada ($5) was absolutely gorgeous, crisp, slightly spicy and sweet to boot. The salsa verde is made in-house and packed a gentle heat that should be guarded at all costs (it's that good!) The arepa was a white cornmeal, the filling dripped with flavor that leaned sweet but contrasted well against crispy pan. The bowl was epic, red beans and rice set the base, chorizo, eggs, peppers, and onion, topped with a layer of cheese. I'm unsure how they incorporated sweetness into every bite, perhaps a bit of lime as a balance, but it was marvelous. The avocado added creaminess that contributed to a well-rounded bite. We also grabbed a Cafe Con Leche and an iced Mochacchino (Chocolate syrup base), both rather good. Be aware, if you get something sweet or add sugar, it will be SWEET.

    My wife and I had been trying to make it out to Key West Cuban Coffee for a few days and when we finally did (for her birthday!) it did not disappoint! The host/server/son of the owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. The service was efficient and helpful. But the food .. it was fantastic!! We got the ropa vieja and breakfast burrito with shrimp. Both were fabulous! And we also were comped the best slice of key lime pie since we got here! Would 12/10 recommend

  • 5/5 Lucy L. 1 year ago on Google
    Stumbled into this place after every place had a line and it was meant to be. Food was amazing, hard to pick from such a good selection, so beyond satisfied. Would recommend, and our server Eric and overall staff were very nice!

  • 5/5 Gaurav B. 9 months ago on Google
    We were in town for vacation. We ordered doordash for lunch as well as dined in for a late breakfast. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasted great. The service when we dined in was great; the staff was very friendly and professional. Whether you are in town for a trip or local to Key West, FL I would highly recommend you visit here for breakfast, lunch, and their amazing coffee options.

  • 5/5 Kyle H. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing little cafe hidden on Duval. The cortadito was rich and sweet. The empanadas were great. I got the guava and cheese and the beef. Both were hot and fresh. I’ll definitely come back to try more.

  • 5/5 J V. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the few places that are open for breakfast on Sunday? We tried two places before this and they were both closed so I guess third times the charm? Anyways their food was the last meal we had in Key West and I wish it was the first because we probably would've came all weekend. The iced espresso with sugar and milk was CRACK!!! SO GOOD. I've never had coffee that good before. The shrimp bowl was to die for. SO much food. I love that it is family owned as well. The owner was super sweet. :-)

  • 5/5 Charlie L. 4 months ago on Google
    Wow, what a great café in the heart of old town Key West! Everything looks great. Couldn’t decide what to get. We did get the huevos rancheros breakfast. Best I ever had, homemade Rancheros sauce never had it so good. Also, the Cuban sandwich is rated the best and all Key West and it lives up to that rating. Service was outstanding. Not a big place but the best place. Ordered breakfast for two dine in and a breakfast sandwich to take home. Bring your appetite. Plenty of food at a very reasonable price.

  • 2/5 Julie C. 4 months ago on Google
    We came here 2 years ago and it was delicious. Very disappointed this time. So sad. The woman taking orders was grumpy and having a bad day. She got our order wrong and then really gave us the stink eye. I asked for hot sauce. None. So I said red sauce? They brought some sauce and it was spoiled rotten. So disappointed. We had the chorizo, egg and cheese Cuban which came with no chorizo. And we had a bacon burrito. I wonder if it's new owners? I didn't see the nice Cuban ladies from last time.

    (Translated by Google) Piccolo restaurant is a balance between good taste and more than tolerable price I recommend it because it is worth the detour. Pizza, dough, grill everything is good ... even desert coffee is excellent ... especially the custard.

    (Translated by Google) LOCAL HISTORY OF GUANABO WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR IN 2002. AND NOW IT IS A LOW PERIOD BUT STAYING ANYWHERE IN EXCELLENT LEVELS THE KITCHEN IS ITALIAN CUBAN AND THE LOCAL IS COMFORTABLE AND WELCOMING EVEN IF A LITTLE HAND OUT ... CERTAIN TIMES THERE IS TO WAIT BUT THERE IS A VERY WELCOME RECEPCION AND A SPECIES OF INTERESTING AVIARY ZOO TO LOSE 10 MINUTES WHILE YOU ARE WAITING .. GO WITH THE GIRL ... VERY INTIMATE AND ROMANTIC (Original) LOCALE STORICO DI GUANABO SI MANGIAVA BENISSIMO NEL LONTANTO 2002 E ADESSO È UN PO CALATO MA RIMANENDO COMUNQUE AD OTTIMI LIVELLI LA CUCINA È ITALO CUBANA E IL LOCALE È CONFORTEVOLE ED ACCOGLIENTE ANCHE SE UN PO' FUORI MANO... CERTE VOLTE C'È DA ATTENDERE MA C'È UNA RECEPCION MOLTO ACCOGLIENTE E UNA SPECIE DI ZOO AVIARIO INTERESSANTE PER PERDERE 10 MINUTI MENTRE SI ASPETTA.. ANDATECI CON LA RAGAZZA.. MOLTO INTIMO E ROMANTICO

  • 4/5 Joey C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic breakfast food. The chorizo is homemade by the owner and very flavorful. Service was kind and attentive, but our coffee didn’t get brought to the table until after we finished eating. We had to ask 3 times because the server kept forgetting. If not for that issue this would be an easy 5 star review because the café colada was well balanced, probably better than Versailles in Miami.

E RINOMATO PER LA PIZZA,CHE SECONDO ME , A DIR CHE NON E BUONA , SONO STATO ANCHE TROPPO BUONO.ANDATECI SOLO SE AVETE FAME E NON TROVATE POSTO DA ALTRE PARTI

  • 5/5 stanimal P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for Cuban and Mexican food. The jambalaya plate was way bigger than I expected with a ton of rice, but their homemade chorizo is where it’s really at. The service was the best I’ve seen in awhile and the ladies make you feel like guests in their home. 5star service

  • 5/5 Jeannette L. 1 year ago on Google
    The owner was amazing! Her place is super cute. Maybe 15 seats and it felt cozy but not crowded. Amazing cuban coffee and the best meal we had on our trip to the Key's. I highly recommend you try chorizo breakfast burrito. The tacos were also amazing! I would 100% recommend to everyone who head's down to Key West!!

  • 5/5 Jordan M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Joel K. 2 years ago on Google
    The iced Cuban coffee, empanadas, burritos, and real fruit smoothies were excellent. The flavors were authentic and truly enjoyed a refreshing authentic meal away from the overpriced touristy stops close to the beaches. Well worth the walk!
