Unique and fun stop. Enjoyed the outdoor space out back along with Mary Jane’s Closet next door. Food and service were top notch.
Great spot for some coffee and relish breakfast food. Had a live music the morning I visited. Outdoor and indoor seating.
Great place with great owners.
Nice place for coffee. Staff is amazing even though the place is crowded, friendly, and welcoming. The coffee is outstanding, and the sticky buns looked like heaven.
Ok… First and foremost… This place is great, I love supporting local business. However, with that said, the price is insane. 4 items for $42 dollars. I understand it is local but at the same time, I can drive down to another local coffee establishment and get the same amount of items that are roughly the same for almost half the price. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the food and coffee but it is not worth $42. Breakfast is supposed to be the cheaper of the meals you have throughout the day.
I have been here twice so far. Both times received the wrong order. Once fixed, I enjoyed my 4A sandwich. GET IT TOGETHER STAFF
Just had coffee and went out to the patio but it was loaded with leaves and tables and chairs were very dirty. I know they are a small & local business but,,,, I won’t be visiting this place again. I wasn’t expecting “WHOMEVER” it was to respond about cleaning it every morning JUST that morning they forgot to go out and clean it . It is OUTDOORS but ya missed it that morning LOL
A bit pricey. Three breakfast sandwiches, two very small cappuccinos, one small coffee and one danish – costed 60+ dollars. It looked like some guys from NYC opened this place. Coffee itself was nothing special by the way. Starbucks tastes better with similar price.
Hands down the BEST! Dan was SO easy to work with, a true professional! I am so thankful Dan was available to be our entertainer at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! Dan allowed us make song requests ahead of our big day, as well as throughout the reception, ensuring everyone had a great time. Highly recommend working with Dan for your big day!
Dan was absolutely amazing at our wedding! All of my guests could not stop raving about how awesome the music was and how they couldn’t sit down because every time they went to leave the dance floor, another great song came on. From the moment Dan and I spoke on the phone I knew we were on the same page for my wedding day. I felt like I was talking to a friend, someone I knew all of my life. Thank you Dan for being you! We hope to see you at your next gig on Long Island ❤️
Dan was fun and knowledgeable and knew how to make sure our guests had a great time. He learned two additional songs so we could have the perfect processional and so I could sing for my husband, his one request. We were able to practice remotely and it made the night! Our guests loved having live music and DJ options, and were dancing all night!
3. The Grateful Guitar
Address: 512 Eaton St, Key West, FL 33040 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
The staff was genuinely nice and understood my studio project. They went above and beyond to help out. I would buy from this guitar store again in a heartbeat.
Really cool place! Beautiful guitars, great staff, and we’ll designed interior. We played a show in the Key West Theater which is connected to the shop, so we got to hang out there pre-show with our VIP guests. Good times!
I would like to thank Derik at the Grateful Guitar for the fine work he did to my acoustic 6 string…this guitar was “decent” but not great…in fact it played so badly I rarely used it…but it’s a pretty BC RICH. that deseved a chance…I took it to Derik and he made the proper adjustmends…strings…action…and other little things and turned my worste guitar into one of my best….he turned a barely playable guitar into one of my best playing guitars…..thank you….I love it….!!!
Beautiful guitars but not a large selection. I would still recommend stopping by
Friendly staff and great customer service.
This is the second time I’ve tried to come visit and they’ve been closed when their hours post open. They do not answer the phone
Don’t bother making the walk to this place if you’re visiting Key West
The guy working 7.22.22 afternoon was such a jerk. Super unfriendly and unhelpful. He didn’t greet us, didn’t ask if we needed help and when we asked him some questions he just shrugged his shoulders at us. Would never shop here again because of him.
Closes before stated.
4. Island Guitar Home of the Bone Island Music Crew
Address: 1109 Key Plaza, Key West, FL 33040 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
Terrific place to rent a guitar in Key West, have used them twice and could not be happier with the service.
Rented instead of bringing my guitar across the country for the week. Very pleased with the cost and convenience.
A really cool guitar shop ran by the most down to earth people. This is the place to go!
Not organized or communicative. This was another shop I asked for bass lessons this summer and they never got back to me despite taking my contact information. Lots of lost opportunity and time. I’ve called after stopping by in person too.
5. Square Grouper Bar and Grill
Address: 22658 Overseas Hwy, Cudjoe Key, FL 33042 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
Service was exceptional! We had blackened Mahi. Although a little heavy on the spices for me, it was cooked perfectly. Their house made vinaigrette dressing made the otherwise plain salads very tasty.
Bread served with the salads was a treat. Key lime pie is definitely worth a try!
This was in the keys
Parking: Overflow parking was available toward back I was told.
Absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere and a wonderful server. I would highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.
Good meal and a very nice restaurant. It would have been a 5 star but the center of my steak was rare and not medium rare.
Good food! This place is always crowded. Get there early or very late for the quickest seating.
Good fresh food, good.portions, buta bit pricey
My family and I waited 2 1/2 hours to sit down, half of the menu was not available, and what was available was NOT WORTH the LONG WAIT! The service was better; friendly servers. My kids were not able to have dessert because there was not much left over for kids. Extremely overpriced. I will NOT RECOMMEND this restaurant. Go to the Subway down the road, I would think you will have a better meal there.
Addendum: you are absolutely right, it was the one in Islamorada, and were told about the possibility of food running out, but you would think you would have the decency and common sense to inform the patrons as the food was running out in order to give the chance to make a choice to continue to wait. It was disappointing to sit after 2 hours wait to find out most all of the menu was out.
My girlfriend and I went here and found out it’s a total tourist trap! We got the conch tots that didnt have any conch in them. For our entrees I ordered the meatloaf special and my fiance ordered the grouper sandwich. You would think these dinners would be their most appealing and tasteful for any palette. We were very wrong. The meatloaf literally looked like canned dogfood in a loaf shape. The grouper sandwich tasted like I was licking the bait well. The batter was thicker than the fillet and was so saturated with grease that it literally was dripping off! Worst restaurant in the Keys!
Over priced, very little food for the price, ordered blackened grouper, serving was about 6 inches long at the most 3 inches wide, overrated!!!!
6. Cudjoe Key
Address: Florida 33042 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
7. Chris Thomas Music | Key West Wedding Guitarist | Musician & Band DJ
We hired Chris to play solo for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding at Casa Marina, Key West. He had provided our officiant with a microphone as well. We are extremely happy with his performance! He has a large selection of music to choose from and we heard nothing but compliments from our guests on how great he was!! Everything was simple and flawless from booking to the end. Highly recommend!
We celebrated our son and his wife’s rehearsal dinner at The Lighthouse in Key Largo recently and Chris Thomas provided our entertainment which was perfect! Chris sings so many songs that you love and appreciate and having him as part of the evening just made it that much more special and entertaining.
Chris Thomas (Chris Thomas Music) was the perfect choice for the ceremony and cocktail reception at our wedding at the Roof Top Cafe in Key West, FL (it was a small wedding with about 45 people so we didn’t have reception music). His song selection was exactly what we wanted to help set the tone while our guests waited for the ceremony to start, for our walk down the aisle and for the cocktail hour. We received so many compliments from the guests. He has a cool Florida Keys style with an extensive music repertoire. Communicating with Chris was easy, too. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. And, you can easily watch him perform at local bars and restaurants in the Keys because he posts his gig calendar on his website. He is great! You won’t be disappointed.
8. The Salvation Army Thrift Store
Address: 30944 Overseas Hwy, Big Pine Key, FL 33043 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
Great selection and there’s a half off coupon in the paper.
Great place to find treasures..
Give what you can.
Friendly and very reasonable prices.
Pretty good store has a lot of clothes and also houseware goods. We scored these three rackets for $3 each
They have a Wonderful variety of everything in here a bit spendy for a thrift store.
Prices are higher than other thrift stores. Will not take returns. Fairly good selection.
Rude staff
I used to love coming here, and I usually always donate high quality items. But at least 3 times in the past month I have witnessed the most rudest lady there! She is an older white woman that dresses like a hippy. Twice I overheard her calling customers pigs for looking through cd’s, yesterday she called customers idiots for opening a box of playing cards. Each time she states she will look at the camera to see who did it. She throws items around in frustration. She was also asked to put a sign on the door to state the times that they were closed for lunch. The other employee asked her nicely to write it in English and Spanish. To which she rudely replied “I don’t speak Spanish, this is America” she is so nasty and has the worst attitude I am no longer donating there or shopping there!!!
9. Looe Key Reef Resort & Dive Center
Address: 27340 Overseas Hwy, Ramrod Key, FL 33042 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
Super friendly staff and a great selection of products and services.
An amazing local health food store. There’s a variety of gluten free and vegan options. The customer service is outstanding. Everyone that works there is polite, friendly and knowledgeable. A great place to enjoy lunch on your way through.
Delicious clean food, friendly staff, fair prices- what more could you ask for?
It’s a small place and I bought an “everything” sandwich there. It was delicious.
Food was good but just be forewarned they use nuts in their products without warnings of such. Our tuna sandwich had cashews in it. If you have allergies, make sure to ask.
Not a good exprience… I ordered a large custom juice with multiple ingredients… I did not get what I ordered, AND she asked if I wanted ginger… i said no, but it had ginger, maybe residue from prior use ?? I dont know, but it was just flat out bad compared to what Im used too…and size ,amount as well… FYI, Im used to going to a franchise place called Robek… i only get juices, so its not that I do not know… i also have a juicer at my home….
Sorry i felt compelled to review,but it was flat out not good
Nice little place atmosphere wise and vast array of products to choose from. However i paid $24 for a Tuna wrap and a strawberry banana smoothie that was God awful. If I hadn’t paid so much for it I would have thrown it out of the window. No taste of fruit at all, just awful, the wrap was actually decent but for the price I have to give this place a thumbs down. I will be passing on by in the future and going back to Cracked Conch Cafe. Really made a mistake going to Good Food conspiracy.
If you are going to called it healthy then be healthy and clean too. I ordered a pesto gf and vegan wrap. I did not ordered cheese, but I got cheese on my wrap. Also, you are charging $14 for a wrap and you put rotten and black avocado. I was feeling so sick, only 10 minutes after eating it. I will never go back to this place. If you have gluten allergies and like your food cook in a clean place then this place is not for you. I hope they clean up and do better in the future.
14. Florida Keys Nature Store operated by Florida Keys Wildlife Society
Address: 30587 Overseas Hwy, Big Pine Key, FL 33043 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
This is a terrific gift shop with reasonably priced products that benefit a good cause. You can feel good about spending your vacation dollars here.
The woman who works there was very informative and happy to share information with us. She directed us to a place where we could see flamingos. She also showed us where to spot key deer on the map. Happy to see someone who likes their job.
Bathrooms are clean. Plenty of parking.
15. Generations Seafood and Produce
Address: 30233 Overseas Hwy, Big Pine Key, FL 33043 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
The Beat seafood produce live music
In the keys local owed just all around fun in the sun place..
Good fresh fish and lobster Good price and super nice the girl work there
Incredible food and service. Thank you
Couple pounds of mahi-mahi and lobsters at a great price. Veggies were good too
Surprisingly, beautiful fresh fish bait shop and gift shop. It’s sells plants and oysters and fish in stone crab claws. Live lobsters in a tank for you to pick out. So beautiful inside. Nice walk around. But the staff is amazing.
Nice people! Enjoyed it very much!
Like the seafood but I have one concern. During this pandemic why doesn’t any employee have a mask on or why do they not require customers to wear a mask? Shouldn’t we respect each other’s health.
Dropped in today to buy a few things. Cashier was talking to a customer who was pushing cat adoptions and got angry when we did not want to adopt a kitten. After standing in line behind this customer for about 5 minutes listening to stories about the cats, wife put back the lemons and nosee-um spray we were trying to buy and told me we should just leave. Cashier blew up her calling her rude that cat lady was there first and we should not try to cut in line. Literally screaming at my wife. We live on big pine and will not be back to this store.
What a neat place! I loved the layout, paintings and plants throughout! Unfortunately, I had a super bad experience with the owner, bummer 🙁 I work as a marine biologist and went in there to promote a tagging project we have going on for Stone Crab and she told us to “get out of my place right now, I don’t like you people”. She was extremely rude and would not hold a civil conversation. We tried to explain that we are just scientists trying to spread the word and she was accusing us of stealing all her tax payer money and ruin the fishing industry. Which in reality, we’re just trying to do more research so the fishery doesn’t disappear all together! (No need to be rude to a human just doing her job!!) The other guy in the back was cool! Oh also, the live lobster sold there look like actually babies & not of legal size so be careful buying from here!
16. Mangrove Mama’s
Address: 19991 Overseas Hwy, Summerland Key, FL 33042 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
Great meal on the way back from Key West. Good food and drinks – key lime pie pretty, pretty, pretty good!!
Have been enjoying Mangrove Mama’s for more than 15 years and it never disappoints. Was in the Keys for the week and ate there twice. Food was delicious as always. Their French fries are the best in the Keys. Our bartender was Patty and she is without a doubt the best bartender in the Keys! So nice to know you can recommend a place to a friend and feel confident they will enjoy it. Awesome time!
Enjoyable meal and atmosphere
On our way out of the keys, stopped for a cup of coffee,they were not open yet but served us anyway, coffee was awesome, staff super nice
Fair awesome workers bugs sucked the blood out of me
Ok, place…..
For starters it took 30 minutes to get a drink for 4 people. Than appetizers another 30 minutes and only soup came out to 2 of us after 20 minutes the rest came but conch fritters were raw and cold in the middle. Waitress never came to check on our drinks . when we finally got her attention she said I’m sorry but I had a bigger party to deal with . so we all felt like chopped liver, finally we placed our order for main course after waiting 45 minutes to do so. The waitress was clueless of the menu could not answer questions. Finally another drink after another 30 minutes. Than an hour later food . seafood qausidllas , wrong it was cheese no sea food and burnt. Shiity restuarant with Shiite service. We will never go back and tell every one we no our shirty expierance we had
Food good but Terrible service for the third time in a row… will not be going back… takes forever to get first drink… forget about refills… got there at 6:30 didn’t get our food till 8:30pm …. talk to owner he didn’t care… very unprofessional… this has happened 3 different times with 3 different waiters …. 3 strikes and your out! They treat you like your an inconvenience instead of feeling welcomed
Food was good, but service was horrendous!
17. Tonio’s Seafood Shack & Tiki Bar
Address: 25163 Overseas Hwy, Summerland Key, FL 33042 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
You know that your service and food is good when 2 other restaurants in the area recommend your restaurant. It did NOT disappoint. EVERYTHING we had was delicious.
Parking: We were pulling a boat and made our own spot
Very nice, local type place. The shrimp and avacado wrap was excellent. We were early for lunch but, wait staff was very helpful and attentive.
Happy place. Good service, live music with a nice breeze off the water. Pet friendly. I had the meatballs one night. They were good. And another time steamed shrimp which were fresh and cooked perfectly.
The food is priced to that of Square Grouper, completely different atmosphere, casual, laid back, staff is hit or miss with their knowledge and level of customer service. The lobster roll is good, more of a lobster salad in a roll than chunks of lobster like you would find in a traditional lobster roll. We haven’t been to happy hour yet, but plan on trying it.
Stopped here for a quick bite, conch fritters were amazing! Must try spot when you’re in the keys!
If i could leave no stars I would. The entire menu is childrens menu portions, and my whole group of 6 came back to the house and had aggressive diarrhea. Waitress was bad, shift change second waitttess was bad, then a random 3rd waitress who got in the mix somehow was also terrible. Do not go
Trop d’attente, service Bof et un rappel cinglant que les tips ne sont pas une légende….
2 adults 2 kids was not worth the $140 and the 11.50 pina colada was nasty. We had to find something else to eat when we left. Was very disappointed.
18. Boondocks Miniature Golf
Address: Summerland Key, FL 33042 , Cudjoe Key , Florida , United States
So very awesome! Will be my new stop on Saturdays. Met some very awesome vendors.
This was abt 3 years ago so my memory may be foggy but…
I believe i went here 3 years ago with my grandparents, my memory is foggy bcuz the trip was… tramuatizing so my brain locked most of memories of it away but i wont go into detail on that
I remember i had ordered some sort of burger and requested no cheese bcuz i hate cheese
The burger came with cheese, i think it mightve been stuck to the other bits of food or smth but we ended up telling our waiter abt it
Then the manager came over and she started apologizing alot, i felt kinda gulity abt it and told her its no problem i just dont like cheese
And she said “but what if you had a dairy allergy or something like that”
Idk why but that stuck with me…
So thank you whoever that was, im not sure how exactly but having someone finally taking my dislike of cheese seriously instead of trying to sneak it in or making fun of my taste makes me happy, i hope you are doing well
Great food, drink and atmosphere.
Great. Plenty of food choices, reasonable, tasty.
I’d go back. Plenty of parking.even a gift shop on 1st floor as well as eating. 2nd floor much larger eating area Relaxed !!
And fun outdoor golf for any age beautifully done with waterfall part of the golf game.
Bring the kids ANY AGE.
Believe me its for tots to senior.fun scoring. ENJOY. Was my first visit I Will go again
CALLED BOONDOCKs
THINK there are a few in other states as well.
Great place. Visited October ‘22. Did the mini golf, then got some dessert. Probably a hopping place during the peak seasons. Recommended.
They have a limited menu due to the ovens being broke. Food is so so. Drinks are good and staff was great.
Very friendly staff…but the food was awful!
Course was just ok. We did win a free soda but was told the machine wasnt working so we lost that. There were live snakes and iguanas crawling around on the greens.
