Absolutely terrible experience! This restaurant only accepts cash, but the owner didn't inform us of that until we had finished our meal. They automatically add an 18% tip, which is frustrating. The owner was friendly when we first walked in, but became very impatient by the end. We requested to split the bill, but she refused to accommodate us. The service was incredibly disappointing. I’m shocked that guests from our hotel (Days Inn) recommended this place.

This was our first time visiting ?Key West?and we found this little place along Whitehead Street... It seemed to be a pretty popular place because there was a lot of people there eating...There was no room for us to sit inside so we chose to sit outside and eat..it is connected to the cafe..with painted walls that are colorful...and fans offer a nice breeze...along with some plants to make the setting comfortable while you eat..The setting was beautiful inside and out... I had those smoked salmon Benedict with a side of potatoes and Cajun shrimp? it was warm and delicious the food was excellent at a reasonable price for?Key West Florida?the service was good as well with only about 10-15 min wait on our food...If you visit make sure you try the key lime pie there...It was the first time trying real key lime pie for me and it was so delicious.

This was one of the best dining experiences I've had! I'm actually glad we decided to eat here on our last day, or else we might not have explored other places. They have fantastic vegan options and are very accommodating to vegan diets. The desserts were incredible! We were able to enjoy breakfast/brunch even at 2 PM with no issues. My BLAT with green goddess dressing was absolutely delicious. It was a win all around. Plus, it was nice that the restaurant was just a street off Duval, so it wasn’t noisy or unpleasant. The place was clean, the service was excellent, and you definitely need to save some space for pastries and desserts!

We dropped by for a quiet afternoon snack to sample their key lime pie, which we've heard is among the best in Key West, and we can confidently say it lived up to the hype! It was absolutely delicious! We also loved the café's atmosphere, and the mural was stunning. Food: 5/5.

We went for brunch, and it was so delightful that we returned for dinner. The food and service were exceptional. Marisa, our server, was fantastic. We brought our dog along, and the charming, shaded patio with fans was a perfect spot for us. There were plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available. We can’t wait to return! Food: 5/5
