The food here is amazing!! There is fish, but no other meat. I'm a bit of a carnivore, and I loved this place anyway. My husband and I tried several restaurants while in Key West; this one was our favorite. The service is super slow, so do go there if you're in any kind of rush. The ambiance is extremely... More

My sweetie is a carnvore but he's always enjoyed whatever we've eaten here. The food is creative, colorful and tasty. Service is good. The atmosphere is like a leftover hippies restaurant from the sixties but the place seems very clean. We just really enjoy the food and beverages and like having this option in a place known for party fare... More

I have been here many times so selected The Cafe for my Mothers Day lunch with my daughter. Having owned a health food store at one time, I appreciate their accomplishments in providing healthy food. I went again last night with my son and his wife. Tasty choices: pizza, noodle dishes, veggie sandwiches, soups as well as beer and wine... More

My husband and I eat here several times on each of our visits to Key West. Although the other restaurants are getting better about having vegetarian options, this is the real thing. So many choices. The decor is funky, the service attentive, and the locals are happy to chat with those of us who do not have the good fortune... More

We are in Key West 2-3 times a year and never miss a lunch or dinner at the Cafe. Everything from the beverages to the desserts are amazing. After each meal we walk out and say that is the best food we have ever had. Don't let the vegan/vegetarian put you off - my husband doesn't like either but LOVES... More

Even though my husband or I not are vegetarian we like to eat healthy. This place was a winner in our book. We had the beet salad with goat cheese, a quesadillas and a side of the sweet potato fries with a curry dipping sauce. Everything was wonderful and so fresh! The ambiance is eclectic, quiet with prompt, friendly service.... More

I love this place!! I had to have falafel and this place had it so my friend and I came here for lunch. The falafel platter was delicious and huge and satisfied my craving. My friend had a stuffed mushroom appetizer and some freshly caught fish for his lunch. The appetizer alone was enough for a meal! It was so... More

We enjoyed a wonderful and family friendly meal at The Cafe! The weren't many places that sounded particularly appealing to my 7 1/2 months pregnant wife, but a mostly veg restaurant caught her eye. It did not disappoint. We started with vehicle burger bites - a delicious option that satisfied both our 20 month old and the adults. After that... More

I think if we'd come to this restaurant earlier, we probably would have ended up visiting this place again. Delicious food- there is seafood here- quick service, and innovative menu items. It was really good because it's not just fried, American food. They have good alcohol too. The sweet potato fries come with really amazing sort of sweet curry sauce.... More
