I don't know if it's the day we happened to go but the coffee was just OK. Or maybe we had really high expectations. We've tasted better cafe con leche. I wish we had given it another chance. read more

There was a line but it went fairly quickly. The wait was about 8 minutes at most, after I placed my order. I ordered the Cuban mix sandwich and added banana peppers. The sandwich comes with a choice of chips or black beans & rice. All I can say is, that sandwich was incredible! Everything was fresh. The black beans and rice were also the best I have had. To top it all off, as I set back reminiscing over such a great meal, to my surprise, I noticed there was a Dum Dum sucker in the bottom of the bag. Wow that meal really hit the spot. read more

Fake Cuban food, not authentic at all. No authentic Cuban food on the menu. We ordered what we thought would be the safest thing to get : cafe con leche and tostada with a Cuban sandwich then we get the tostada and it wasn't even pressed , it was just hot bread with butter that tasted old. The Cuban sandwich had none of the right ingredients and when we told the server that we had order a Cuban sandwich not this , she caught an attitude and told us that was it but they refer to it as a Cuban Mix. It was a good sandwich but it wasn't a Cuban sandwich. Then they give you a banana as a side and it was green, and when we asked for a different one, they said all of them are green. who eats green bananas?Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Awesome little spot for coffee and food! It's so cute, definitely check out the gorgeous mural on the side of the building. The cafe con leche is hot and strong and delicious. The cuban wasn't my favorite that I've ever had but the price was good and I liked the addition of bacon on it. Definitely a solid spot for cheap eats in pricy Key West. read more

There are 3 locations this one is a walk up with the best coffee- get the iced coffee !! it has frozen coffee ice cubes. If you want breakfast go to the location downtown off of Duval !!! The staff are friendly the coffee is sweet iced cold and refreshing on a hot day- get the large you won't regret it! read more

Small shack with great tasting food and coffee. The cortadito is the hot espresso coffee with milk and sugar that is a must try. If you are feeling hot then try the cold version. read more

According to Yelp, a 5-star rating means "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" This would be an accurate summary of the review we'd like to write. We tried three types of their coffee (cortadito, iced café con leche, and a colada) on three separate occasions during our three days in Key West. We had to keep coming back - coffee was strong, intensely flavored, and just sweet enough. Exceeded our expectations for "Cuban jet fuel." Compared to typical "gourmet" coffee prices, our drinks were a deal and well, well worth the cost for the quality. We also got a sandwich on our final visit, and the pork in the Cuban Mix sandwich was very, very flavorful - great place to stop for a quick meal as well as a caffeine fix! Couldn't recommend stopping by more next time you're in KW - we definitely will! read more

The coffee is great !! Strong but not bitter. I had the key wester breakfast sandwich pressed on a Cuban roll two days in a row now. Yesterday I had the roasted pork , eggs and cheese, today I had ham. I made the mistake of saying pork instead of roasted pork on one of them and got a pork roll. They gladly gave me a roasted pork one when I realized my mistake. Friendly staff. Got quite a long line on a Sunday morning. Not many benches to sit on but they deliver !! read more

BEST coffee in Key West, without a doubt!!! After close to a week of lame coffee, I almost wept with joy at discovering this gem. My cafe con leche with 2 sugars was perfect. I wanted to crawl into my cup and bathe in its deliciousness. The cheese toast was great post hangover. So simple, so tasty. And the egg and cheese on Cuban bread was super filling - could only eat half! We walked up the first time from the bottom of Duval and, cuz we were lazy and on vaca, we had it delivered the next day. Sweet free coffee delivery! If you're inKey West, you gotta try Cuban Coffee Queen! read more

I'm not sure what is stronger than jet fuel, but the coffee equivalent is the iced coffee here. We tried an egg and cheese sandwich, the cuban mix, and pan cubano. All were well prepared and tasty. My only real complaint (besides some of the idiots we had to wait with) is the order delivery seems a little disorganized at times. People seemed confused more often than not and it was hard to determine which food was yours and which drinks. And it wasn't that busy at the time. Still, not enough to stop anyone! read more

I just realized that I haven't reviewed this place yet. Really? Omg. I've had Cuban Sandwiches everywhere- U.S. South America, etc. This place blew me away out of all those places. Coffee was decent, but it was the sandwich that blew me away. OMG soooo delicious! read more

HOLY YUMMMMMMM!!!! The coffee was amazing!!! There sandwiches were HUGE and succulent. The cuban bread was oh so soft and the fact that they had taste cakes, well need I say anything more. Apparently from what I could overhear while eavesdropping, one of the guys who owns this little slice of heaven is a handsome fells who was offered an iron chef position from the very beginning of that show and turned them down because of his love of the Keys and the Ocean, plus they wanted him to cut off his sweet mullet and he wasn't having it. Do not miss a chance to stop by here and have a Cafe con Leche' with a pulled pork sandwich but bring a friend cause you won't be finishing it by yourself. read more

I went here every morning I was in Key West except one, and I missed it that day. Highs: The Cuban Coffee, duh. Ice cubes made of coffee. Buttery Cuban bread. Lows: Having a hard time with this one Overall: Check it out. read more

Overrated. Came to this restaurant with high expectations after reading all the reviews on here. Only reason I'm giving them two stars is because their breakfast sandwich the Key Wester was delicious so I will give them that. The coffee was average at best. Ordered a Iced Cafe con leche, tasted watered down in my opinion. I thought Cuban coffee was supposed to be stronger than Dunkin Donuts.. Who knew! Plus, those "espresso iced cubes" they claim to put in your drink, doesn't taste like espresso at all so don't get your hopes up. They don't honor specials they post on Yelp either, so if you're looking to grab the Havana Rice and beans for $5, expect to be greeted with an attitude and a lame explanation about how the promotion "was from 2 years ago". read more

I hope to find a place like this nearby Ft. Lauderdale. Their cafe con leche is one of the bests that I've had here in Florida even though it was freaking hot to drink hot coffee outside. I got the special which was 1/2 a sandwich (I don't remember the name of it), which consisted of shredded pork, egg, tomato, and I believe cheese for only $4.25. The sandwich was huge for being a 1/2 size & coffee was also an excellent size. My boyfriend got one of the cuban mix sandwiches which he enjoyed, and a mango smoothie which was really good and refreshing in the heat. They only have benches to sit on and no tables to eat so we walked to the right of it on the harbor and sat alongside the water near Dantes pool bar. They also deliver on mopeds, awesome! Service was friendly. read more

This was as good as it gets for Cuban coffee and breakfast! My wife and I went 2 straight mornings and loved it both times! Would highly recommend it to anybody visiting Key West. read more

Been here twice. Food is really good. 1. Havana Bean and Rice. 2. Cuban queen mix 3. Cuban coffee It's must be the best breakfast in this island. read more

I honestly don't know what the fuzz is about. Other than the coffee, everything else sucks. Too many people waiting for the food, no place to sit. We waited for 25 minutes. Had to sit on the curbside. When my breakfast sandwich finally came, the bread tasted stale. What I would say, if there is no line, go for coffee. If you are hungry, better find another place. read more

Awesome breakfast place. Coffee best in KW. Toooo many people know the secret now. Line can be a little long at times. But good for them!

You will not be disappointed. We walked .5 mile in the August heat to stand in line for a burrito and iced coffee. Possibly the best I've ever had for both. read more

If you've never had Cuban coffee before and you happen to be in key west this is your place! They have some of the smoothest, most perfectly roast dark coffee beans I have ever been pleasured to sip. Offering both small and large 16-20 oz I believe cup sizes and a variety of delicious flavors both iced and hot. This place is the place to get an absolutely jaw dropping cup of Joe. They also offer a fine selection of delicious bites. They offer breakfast food items and more lunch like sandwiches. Everything from bagels to bagel sandwiches to delicious cubano sandwiches. Conveniently located in the old navy warehouse repurposed mall with AC on those hot days! A beautifully designed mild yellow painted island tropics colored restaurant and barista coffee bar. Chock full of all your coffee needs from thermoses to reusable coffee cups to bags of all sorts of delicious roasts. This place is an absolute must for a phenomenal cup of coffee! And I can't recommend it enough! read more

Very good and very fresh. The Cuban was more like a "sub" with the lettuce and tomato and i would say lightly pressed not like I'm used to, but maybe the one' s I've had were not traditional, who knows. Either way the sandwich was great. Keep in mind you will eat on a bench holding you food unless you take it away or get it delivered. It was a hot day and we had not had our coffee yet so we had the iced and it was good. The ice cubes were Coffee, nice twist and the sugar was crystal cane sugar. One more thing, the sandwich was plenty big enough to share if you are not with a hearty eater. I would say add it to your to do list while in the Keys. read more

We go to Key West about once a year and are always on the lookout for inexpensive places to add into our regular food rotation. The Cuban Coffee Queen fits the bill. It's cheap, fast, and - most importantly - delicious. I'm sad we hadn't been here before this trip, but we made up for lost time and went every day. The first day we were needing something more substantial after a bike around Key West, so we ordered the Key Wester sandwich and the Cuban Mix. Some people will like these sandwiches for their size, but the flavors are on point, too. We washed it down with a cafe con leche and an iced coffee. The cafe con leche is good, but the iced coffee is what we wound up getting every time we went back. Other mornings, we just wanted something small, so we got iced coffee and pan cubano, freshly toasted up on the sandwich press. Simple, delicious and for less than $10 - pretty much unheard of on Key West - we were happy customers. read more

Yum yum! The cafe con leche was excellent and they made my husband a special black coffee that was extra strong - no idea what it was. The breakfast sandwiches are great. Also the bagel is delicious! read more

Fantastic cold brew, served with coffee ice cubes so it doesn't get watery!

Excellent coffee. The sandwiches are very good. The vegetarian hummus one is excellent. I am sure the other ones are good too. I'm just a vegetarian. read more

Came here for a quick breakfast. It's a great spot to grab breakfast to go (especially cause seating there is limited to two benches). There was a decent line when we got there which is generally a sign of good food. However it moved pretty slowly :( We got key wester sandwiches. Some with pork some with chorizo. The pork was nice and juicy. The chorizo was flavorful but a bit overpowering and felt really fatty. I would go for the pork. Aside from the meat, the sandwich was pretty bland. I personally liked it since I like plain foods but some others in my group thought it too flavorless. Cuban coffee queen didn't live up to the high expectations I had for it based on its reviews. It was a decent breakfast but I wouldn't go back. read more

This was great! The Cuban sandwich was terrific. Nicely seasoned meat. The proportions of the other ingredients were spot on. Not too much of any one thing. Good pickles sliced lengthwise not just store bought slices. White rice was perfectly done, lightly seasoned and not overdone. For 18 dollars my wife and I were stuffed. Do visit! read more

I did not have a chance to try the food, but went because I was told the coffee was excellent. The coffee is horrible. If you are a real coffee fan there is no way you'll be excited about the coffee. Stick with Starbucks. The food looked good, but I did not have a chance to try it. read more

Over-rated coffee shop. Wait time is awful, pricy, and really, the coffee is nothing special. Tried it three times, and rather make my own coffee at home than waist my time and money there! read more

Best coffee evarrrrrr. Hubs found Cuban Coffee Queen on Yelp (yay) and so we walked over here on our Key West Day as we cruised on the Disney Magic. I had an iced coffee (loved the coffee ice cubes!!!) and hubs had a traditional cafe con leche. Definitely the highlight of our day, and can't wait to visit again someday!!!!!! read more
