Nice quaint place for dinner. Thought the only served breakfast and was pleasantly wrong. Had a mahi sandwich on French bread. Every good. Wife had lobster blt. Being a traditionalist lobster should be cold with a touch of mayo. The lobster blt was fired lobster described as crispy. Tasted good but not what I expected. Good service. Limited beer selection and a Pepsi joint. Overall a nice joint for a meal. Breakfast is their specialty read more

We had a wonderful breakfast at the BC - try the frittata- it was soooo tasty And to top off the great food and service, the staff was so welcoming to my little dog, Liza. There are a lot of 'pet friendly' restaurants in KW, but the BC is pet loving. read more

We stopped in for brunch. I had pepper onion cheese omelette. It was ok .... I think it did not look like a restaurant omelette. I could have made it look like that ..... my husband ordered curry chicken salad. It looked good, lots of it on a crusty hoagie roll. He had to save half. They squeeze you in. I could have rubbed shoulders to the lady beside me. The latte was good. Service was attentive. Pretty busy read more

Great burger, and we sat outside upstairs with a great view of people passing by. Love the sweet potato fries and the crispy, buttery bun that came with my burger. Service was stellar. Everyone loved their food. My friend got the seafood crêpe. highly recommend this place. read more

I've been to banana Café a few times over the past few years. Each time has been great. I really love the crêpes. You can get fruity or hearty. As expected their banana bread is delicious. Make sure you get some! The service is always great although sometimes the kitchen is slow to be served your food.. but you're in the Keys so no rush! There's upstairs seating and downstairs seating, and usually the wait goes quick if you arrive during prime breakfast hours. I'll keep returning back here for breakfast. I love the huge variety of crêpes they have on the menu. And how great they taste! read more

We came here for lunch the other day. Here is what I thought. Atmosphere: I've been to the Banana Cafe on a previous trip to Key West and I was so excited to come back! The cafe is located near the southern end of Duval Street. The place is quaintly decorated. It had indoor and outdoor seating. Restroom: I used the single stall restroom upstairs. It was nice and clean! Service: Our service was great. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Food: We loved our food. I got their 'BLT Sandwich' with friends and my husband for their 'Shrimp Salad Sandwich' with sweet potato fries. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. It came out quick and was fresh. This is a great place for a quick, delicious breakfast or lunch. They definitely had some unique food options. We love the Banana Cafe and will be back on our next trip to Key West! read more

My sister and I stopped by this place because we love a good breakfast and Google listed it as #1 of the top 10 best breakfasts in Key West. We both had coffee and I ordered 2 soft scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, bacon & wheat toast and avocado on the side. These were the softest fluffiest eggs ever! She ordered the veggie scramble with wheat toast. The eggs were hot-the cheese was perfectly melted-taste in every bite! The bacon nice and crispy and wheat toast was on point. I highly recommend this place. The crepes & omelets looked amazing but I took the traditional route. Oxana was our server-she was always smiling and perfectly attentive. My only issue were the pigeons walking around-they bothered no one and did not flutter around; I'm guessing like the roosters-it's just a way of life in Key West! Go & Enjoy!!! read more

If Key West had a love letter to breakfast, it would be written at Banana Café. Tucked away on Duval Street, this charming little French-inspired café has been a local favorite since the early 1990s, when the island still felt like a salty, sunburned secret. Today, it's one of those can't-miss Key West breakfast spots where tourists and locals blend over mimosas, crepes, and endless Cuban coffee. The vibe? Bright, breezy, and unapologetically Key West. Think open-air seating, cheerful yellow walls, and a constant hum of laughter and clinking silverware. Inside, you can almost feel the layers of island history -- sailors, poets, and dreamers passing through this sun-drenched little corner of paradise. Now, the food. Breakfast here is an art form. The banana pancakes are the stuff of legend -- fluffy, golden perfection with just enough sweetness to remind you why you booked that trip. The crepes are light and decadent all at once, a quiet nod to the café's French roots. And if you're the type who likes something savory to balance out the indulgence, the omelets are packed with flavor and just the right touch of island flair. Pair it all with a strong café au lait or Cuban coffee, sit by the window, and watch Key West slowly wake up around you. It's the kind of spot where time doesn't matter -- you're on island rules now. Pro tip: Come early if you can. The locals know this is the place to be, and the line can stretch out the door by mid-morning. Grab a table upstairs for a quieter vibe and better people-watching on Duval Street below. Banana Café isn't just breakfast -- it's a slice of Key West's soul. A little history, a lot of charm, and plates so good you'll be tempted to order "just one more" before heading back into the sun. read more

Was just here for dinner and had an enjoyable experience all around. It had been a really long time since I was last here. Nothing had changed and it was just as good as I remember! Met up with good friends and we were taking our time. Service was super attentive without being pesty. I was drinking a lot of water and was even brought extra glasses of ice. I picked the apple, goat cheese and walnut crepes, which were soooo tasty! The portion was generous and I could not completely finish them. Atmosphere was super laid back. Cannot wait to return! read more

Delicious! Friendly! So cute! I'm gluten free but I had options and I chose the frittata. Everyone loved their food from the steak and eggs to the seafood omelette. It was no trouble to get seated even on a busy Saturday with a party of 6. Such a cute spot, I do recommend. read more

Breakfast off Duval Street can be a little challenging and definitely touristy, this is a cool little restaurant that was almost filled when we arrived but luckily we were able to get seated upstairs at a two top inside without a wait. The staff here was very friendly and extremely busy so not very attentive but we managed to get our food rather quickly although it was barely warm upon arrival. We chose the egg and bacon croissant with potatoes and a banana foster waffle both were just okay, if they were warm I think maybe we would be talking outstanding since they were of high quality. The coffee here is delicious but unfortunately not plentiful, again the staff was strained and working very hard but not as efficient as they could be, maybe a little more management over-sight on the floor. The prices were reasonable considering its Key West, I'd love to revisit during a different meal service when the restaurant staff is not so stressed so I'll give them an extra star... read more

Love the Banana Cafe! I stopped by for brunch with friends a few months ago and haven't stopped thinking about it! The restaurant is right on Duval St and has a very cute vintage tropical theme that gives the space a fun and bright vibe. The staff here are hardworking, and the food can't be beat, especially for the price! Try the Croque Monsieur and Iced Mocha Latte the next time you're here - you won't be disappointed! read more

Stopped by for lunch today. We have actually been here a few years ago and really enjoyed our breakfast/ brunch. Lunch today was underwhelming tbh. Service was kinda non existent and the place seemed a little worse for wear. I had the veggie burger - kudos to the place for opting to do an in house lentil and veggie patty. Surprisingly succulent in terms of texture but could have been more flavorful. The side salad was very meh, the tomatoes seemed a little off. Ragz had the breakfast burger and really enjoyed it. If service had been better, I probably would have repeated my 5 stars on the review. read more

We had an AMAZING lunch here. I ordered the Island salad with scallops and shrimp. My husband had a bacon burger on brioche. Both were delicious. Our server was fantastic....super friendly and she anticipated our needs before we even asked...like bringing extra water and more napkins. But the icing on the cake was the table with the open window right on the sidewalk! We were able to enjoy the feeling of eating outside with the convenience of a fan and air conditioning. read more

We came here today for breakfast and it did not disappoint. We went around 11-12 and there was no wait but I can see it getting busy on weekends. The food was so good, I took it with me back home (3 hours away) lol. I had the banana foster waffles and the pesto mozzarella baguette with a caramel latte - delicious!! Everyone at the table also really enjoyed the food. Our waitress was kind, friendly and provided good service. The cafe was centralized and it was super cute and cozy inside. I loved the key west/ French decor read more

They got the little details right. Ice cold water in a beautiful glass carafe, understated colorful decor and a chill staff. I LOVE a good savory crepe, and the veggie crepe fulfilled. Asparagus, beet cubes, caramelized onions and avocado sautéed with goat cheese created a savory explosion experience. If you come with a midwestern "meat and potato man", skip the ham. It is not a 1 inch slab, is is thin sliced and they may fuss like a tired lumberjack. The experience was fabulous for a foodie. read more

We were seated immediately, even after I called and they said approx 20 minute wait (we stayed across the street so walked right over). Our waiter was great & friendly Food was good, lobster Benedict (lobster was a bit chewy). Shrimp Mac and cheese was pretty dang good! And my boyfriend got a seafood omelette. We were seated by the window which ended up being extremely hot while eating hot food, not ideal. But all in all, place was pretty good. read more

This place is heavenly exactly like the lovely cafes in Paris. We stopped in for brunch and were greeted and seated quickly. I ordered the La France Country Crepe with Sautéed Apples and a Croissant.

The accompanying salad was fresh with delicious homemade dressing. Our server (I wish I could remember her name) was friendly, attentive and had a delightful French accent. I highly recommend Banana Cafe!!! read more

Normally love this place, special, cozy spot with good food. However (!) I just inquired about purchasing 1 whole Quiche Lorraine and they want to charge $175 FOR ONE PIE. $17.50 per slice in the restaurant, 10 pieces in a whole, and the chef screaming at the person who answered the phone "DO THE MATH! It's $17.50 x 10. What's that!?" A. Ridiculous, B. RUDE. I'll go to Frenchies who has a delicious Quiche Lorraine for 1/3 the price. Sheesh read more
