These smoothies hit the spot. We stopped for a midday coffee and lunch smoothie. The mango mix was better than the hangover helper. The iced coffee con leche was amazing. We would love to return. read more

DOUBLE CHECK BIG ORDERS! They always forget something! Unwilling to to admit they always have a reason for double charging or just plain messed up! Last visit spent $89.10, it was missing a Cuban bagel. ($7.00), called to let them know, They said can't refund. Went back days later and still wouldn't do anything! It's obvious they don't care about their tourism industry. If they did, they would have made it right! Disappointed to say the least! Customer service in the Keys! read more

This is my favorite spot to start out every morning while I'm in Key West. You honestly can't go wrong with anything you order. Over three days we went there every morning. Get yourself one of their coffee drinks, my favorite being their iced black coffee and grab a breakfast sandwich, might I suggest the main lander with pork or the Cuban queen mix, walk down to the benches at the end of the pier for breakfast with a view. They also make really refreshing smoothies, so might as well grab one of those too, especially if you're feeling a bit hungover. The staff here is super friendly and give great recommendations if you're unsure of what to get. Also there is plenty of parking near by. If you're in Key West for vacation you cannot miss Cuban Coffee Queen, if you don't go then the jokes on you because it's phenomenal! read more

Excellent Cuban coffee. Hot or cold. Menu is impressive for a small venue but the food is great. Best Cuban sandwich I had in a long time.

I ordered an iced caramel coffee and it was delicious. I also got myself a chocolate croissant and I honestly think it was the best chocolate croissant I've ever had because it was super chocolate-y and gooey in the center. read more

My family and I visit Key West once a year in December or January. This year we are here in May for an extra trip to plan for my wedding in December. Every morning we enjoy coffee from the CCQ! The sandwiches are also delicious and large enough to share for a little bite in the morning. I often stop in and get a pick me up in the afternoon as well. We bring home beans and use them in the espresso machine every day at home! The coffee is just so smooth and delicious. The Cuban bread is also so delicious. My best friend is Cuban and this is the real deal!! Definitely stop in for a Cordito and a KeyWester!! read more

Made a quick stop here before embarking on our tour for Dry Tortugas. Authentic Cuban goodies with a modern twist on some! What more could you ask for? Cuban toast was perfectly buttered and flattened. I decided to try their iced cafe con leche and was pleasantly surprised. Whereas majority of places add tons of ice and you need to drink it fast so as not to lose the flavor, this place add espresso ice cubes! Very happy my coffee got stronger as time passed. Worth the trip for a quick bite to keep sightseeing. read more

Aside from spending quality time with our best friends that moved to KW last year, the Queen was truly a highlight of our days there. The fact they can make an iced con leche with almond milk...DA BOMB....and the guava cream cheese sandwich...I can't say enough. Let's just say we bought the coffee to bring back to Hawaii, bought the T-shirts, asked and were told how to make the iced con leche until we come back this year...the place is pure magic. Can't wait! read more

I'm very different from my friends when it comes to coffee. I am NO coffee connoisseur NOR am I even close to being a coffee snob. I'm a functional person and I drink just about any brew available as long as it is HOT - pipin' HOT. On the other hand, this functionality has actually caused me to drink significantly MORE (in volume) than both connoisseur (aka spitters) and snobs (aka ERMAGERD-long-litany-of-fancy-pansy-in-a-cup)...that was the case at least UNTIL now: I *only* had ONE cup and it sufficed. Gone were the days of 500 cups...here, one freaking small cup changed me forever. Where has thou been all my life? Strong, flavorful, and cheap. How much better can it be? Stop by, have a Cortadito, and make life a bit more awesome. read more

As far as coffee goes, Baby's Coffee (in the Florida Keys) is the top notch coffee shop that I used to compare all others (only because it offers consistently great coffee). So, with that being said, Cuban Coffee Queen offers some damn good coffee that is the first coffee shop that is on par with Baby's. And although Baby's is more convenient, I could see myself passing up Baby's for the Queen because in addition to the obvious good coffee, they also offer plenty of grub (nice variety of breakfast and lunch sandwiches and some other goodies) at fair prices. Haven't tried the sandwiches yet though, but look forward to trying the Cuban Mix (and I was told it is a winner and I do love a good Cuban). *** since this review I have had the cuban mix (a bit too much lettuce but excellent nonetheless) and have tried the Key Wester breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese & bacon on pressed cuban bread) and it too was excellent. I have no idea where Coffee Queen buys their roasted beans, but please do not ever change that source. Most recently had Cuban Chocolate Mocha and Cafe Con Leche... both were plenty strong and a solid home run. I also have no idea where Coffee Queen buys their cuban bread, but whether they bake it themselves (doubtfully) or purchase it locally, please don't change that source either. I also had some Pan Cubano (pressed cuban bread with butter) and it was a winner (so tasty that I thought there was cheese or some other spread). The tiny coffee shop with outdoor window service is in a touristy location but still a longtime favorite of locals. The location offers a unique vibe with their oversized coffee mug planter and their wall mural to resemble a "greetings from Key West" postcard for visitors to pose in front of. Great picture to send off to all those friends and family not lucky enough to experience this tropical oasis. Last little point of interest: they deliver locally as well read more

Best value in Key West! Excellent Cuban coffee and breakfast sandwich. The Queen is fast and friendly.

My coffee addicted mother needed her fix. Starbucks was not going to cut it!!! Somehow we ended up in this wonderful place and the coffee was heavenly, the service was perfect, and I almost did not leave Key West because of how much I loved this cafe. I think about it more often than I can admit and in a few weeks when I come back, you can expect me to be there first thing. Do not sleep on this place y'all. And for everyone waiting in line at Starbucks.. well.. SHAME ON YOU ;). Thank you for the amazing service and for the incredible coffee. This Colombian chick was very happy. Yours truly. read more

Cuban Coffee Queen is our go to for iced coffee in Key West - we go multiple times per visit! Catering - we got married in Key West in April 2022 and Irina was incredible and helped us order delivery catering for my bridal party for getting ready! She brought us hot and iced coffee and breakfast sandwiches for about 12 people. We love their coffee so much that we order coffee beans to be shipped to our home in Philadelphia. read more

The Cuban Coffee Queen is more than what it is named for. We came here to get a sammie after one of the locals told us that they had the best Cuban Sammies in Key West. The are located away from away from that tourist trap of Duval Street. But, that doesn't stop both the locals and tourist from coming here to get their coffees and sandwiches. Who doesn't love a place like this where everything on the menu is under $7 or less. We arrived at a little before noon, after getting lost and not being able to find their shop. We weren't hungry after eating a grouper sandwich from B O's Fish Wagon. But, my wife and I wanted to try the Cuban Mix Sandwich. I ordered the sandwich, paid my $7 and waited for them to prepare the sandwich for me. After they finished it, they called me by my name and presented me my sandwich. The sandwich was made on a Cuban roll. It was filled with pork, ham, and cheese. It was a hefty sandwich filled with a carnitas like pork. My wife commented that it was one of the best sandwiches that she had ever had. As a guy that eats I lot of sandwiches, I would have to agree. The sandwich came with a bag of Plantain Chips and a Dum Dum pop. The Plantain Chips are something that I have never had before. They were great! Unfortunately, I did not try anything else. But, most of the other customers ordered their coffees as well. The Cuban Coffee Queen is a great little Cuban place in Key West. If you want lots of good food for a little $$$, you need to come here. They definitely have one of the best sandwiches around. read more

This place brought out the caffeine junkie in me. I came with the idea to just have a cafe con leche but I had the chance to look at their menu before ordering and changed my mind. The first thing that caught my attention was the "Cuban Vanilla Coffee" and, while ordering that, I read the magic word "Colada". Now, it's already 4pm, and while I was a little concerned about the effect the coffee would have this late In the day, I didn't care, I ordered both. My friends were making fun of me when they saw me with both cups and fully intending to have them both immediately. I started with the colada and I just smiled. This is something I don't usually find where I live so, whenever I see it, I have to order it. This was made perfectly. Strong and sweet. It's addictive, and no, I don't share it. I have no idea why they usually give you those little plastic shot glasses, I don't need them I'll drink it all. Once I finished the colada I immediately went to my vanilla coffee. This one was just OK. I was expecting a little bit more vanilla flavor and body to it, but not bad. Needless to say I was up until almost 4am that night but absolutely no regrets, I would do it again. read more

I think I would've gladly eaten here for every meal of my recent Key West trip. I certainly would've grabbed coffee every day from here if I would've had the opportunity. Between the cafe con leche, rice and beans with chicken and the key wester breakfast sandwich with chorizo, everything was absolutely delicious and service was friendly and relatively quick. read more

Our first stop after landing in Key West. The coffee was great and the staff was very friendly.

The coffee is so good that anytime I get a chance to get a new bag from someone who visits the island I order a few bags and recommend the establishment to friends. Always a great place to grab a cup early in the am prior to Military activities! read more

Major fan of this place. I order their coffee all the way to CA. Haven't been to key west in 5 years and it's truly amazing to see how much this company has grown! They have two other locations now that we checked out. This is the original so if you haven't been it's worth coming just for the cool photo opportunity on the wall alone. Reason I gave 4 stars is it was a little sad the service seemed cold and not welcoming like before. But what disappointed me is that one of our drinks was wrong and instead of remaking it to what she ordered, we were forced to buy a new one. Just kind of odd. read more

Huge Pros: Fresh food, Great Coffee, Very Popular & favorable, Location (near the water) Debbie Downers: Couldn't bring this back home with me Conclusion: This was one of the highlight gems that I came across during my time in Key West. This was definitely one of my favorite venues. I don't want to put a hype onto something simple but I swear that Cuban bagel that I had was the best bagel that I ever had. It was so good. Plus the Cuban coffee was so on point! Overall: A++++++++ There is a reason why people love this great but simple food stand. The service, the food, the location, you can't beat it. read more

Super yummy cafe con leche(unsweet for me!) and for food,Key Wester was hot off the skillet! Chorizo is excellent, egg fresh, bread nice and toasty. I'd recommend it! There was a rooster hanging around by the outdoor benches. Love the marina around and a show next door with unique items. Lots of people eating here but they moved be orders around really fast! read more

Although we are still sad Los Lobos is gone, this breakfast place that replaced it is super! They know how to do proper Cuban coffee and they have great breakfasts. The half a Key Wester is perfect for those with smaller appetites and (by the way), my husband couldn't finish his Key Wester. I was also happy they had milk. It's also in a prime location and the owner is a great guy. We had decided to only go to new places (new for us) this trip and in doing so found a place to continue to frequent! read more

Review Time: Cuban Coffee Queen (Key West, Fl) Since I was still on the hunt for an amazing Cuban sandwich, on our last day here, we decided to come back to this local cafe. From what I remember, the cafe con leche and Cuban was pretty delicious last time? This place is tucked into a shopping plaza. There is plenty of seating though outside to enjoy your beverages and your food. The service was extremely fast and there were several orders before us. I am so glad we decided to come back here, because this is what I have been craving since we got here. The cafe con leche was absolutely perfect, which was deliciously strong and slightly sweet from the cream and sugar. My other half got the breakfast burrito, which was loaded with large slices of amazing chorizo. And today, I finally got the traditional Cuban sandwich that I have been craving since I got here; perfectly crispy pressed bread with delicious ham and extremely moist and flavorful shredded pork. Overall review: extremely fast service (5/5) and the best Cuban on the island during this trip along with delicious cafe con leche and a massive stuffed breakfast burrito (5/5)... read more

They were working their butts off, and we're very busy, but that did not keep them from a smile and great service!! Thank you Cuban Coffee Queen for our afternoon wake up drink!
