The desserts looked absolutely amazing, but Hemingway's ghost and I decided to save room for some stronger spirits instead. The prices were very fair, and I would happily return to try the desserts, preferably when the ghost of Hemingway is somewhere else.

The display cases are filled with an assortment of croissants, beignets, buns and more. We tried the butter croissant, strawberry beignets, coconut cream cheese and guava cheese. The flavors were different and tasted good. We were disappointed in the lack of filling and the butter croissant was not as fresh and flaky as you would expect but was tough. The iced coffee is decent and I appreciated that they had almond and oat milk options. I got an added shot of espresso which was definitely needed as it didn't seem to have a strong coffee flavor even with the added shot. We would return but sadly is not going to be our required morning stop, as we had been hoping.

I would typically eat half that amount, but I had to finish it! The pastries were also top notch. One of us has a sweet tooth so he ordered a cinnamon roll and a chocolate long john filled with chocolate mousse...oh my, so delicious!

I guess her friend said it and she was agreeing. I'm Italian and with my family there, it's a table of all Italian people. It made us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome.

The service was excellent, and I had one of the strongest cups of coffee I've ever tasted. I ordered the French toast, and it was absolutely amazing. They also had a very good-looking selection of desserts and pastries that all looked delicious. There's something wonderfully quirky about the place, almost as if some old Key West spirit tucked away a little French café and enchanted it with the aroma of coffee, butter, and sugar. I wouldn't be surprised if the pastries were baked under a full moon. I would definitely return to try some of the other food. La Grignote is a delightful little find with great service, delicious food, and just the right amount of old-Key-West charm.

The breakfast burrito was amazing and was talked about for the next few days and became a staple order. The coffee was good and I appreciated that they offered dairy free options for their coffee.

I've had dessert in the desert near Area 51, And underground in Antarctica, far from the sun. I've had it in graveyards, beneath moonlight so fair, And even in a dessert restaurant, yes, I've had dessert there! At Better Than Sex, the Fever was mine, And it tasted so splendid, so luscious, divine. I tried one of their special coffees as well, And it was so delicious, I nearly swooned under its spell. But the night's grandest moment, the finest display, Was when our waiter arrived with the desserts on a tray. He looked straight in my eyes as he named each delight, With a confidence both curious and wonderfully bright. My dessert was a huge phallus, impressive and grand, With two giant balls resting beneath it in hand. It was covered in "splooge sauce," a curious sweet stream, A dessert of such drama it belonged in a dream! I truly enjoyed this place and would gladly return If I lived nearby, where the sweet candles burn. They are masters of dessert, of flavor and flair-- A deliciously mischievous treasure tucked away there.

We settled on the cookie nookie cake, it was super fresh with many contrasting flavors that made every bite a pleasure. Overall had an amazing time and recommend this place for anything from a late night dessert or a full dessert meal. If we're ever around again, we are definitely going back and trying a lot more than just one dessert.

I got a slice of carrot cake and a key lime pie slice. I got both thinking I wouldn't be able to finish them but I was wrong! The pastries were rich and flavorful without being overly sweet. Cake icing usually tends to be too sugary for me but the icing on the carrot cake was good and not overpowering. I am a fan of key lime pie and this was made perfectly in my opinion. I absolutely recommend stopping at this bakery for a quality sweet treat!

We arrived around 11:10 am after checking out at the hotel, was seated almost immediately upstairs (they were not super packed). We placed our orders and waited about 25 minutes (we were all just using our phones so time went by without thinking much about it) but still nothing has arrived..... I checked with our waitress and she stated she checked with the kitchen and said our foods were coming. Five minutes later nothing came (it's now been 30 minutes). I checked with her again and she went back to the kitchen, she returned and stated the kitchen staff was very busy and they had other customers to take care of too..... We immediately asked for our check and I paid for my coffee and left. We ended up going to Frenchie's cafe down the block and had an amazing time. We had been to so many restaurants at Key West this past week and never had to wait more than 15 minutes for our foods to arrive. We aren't sure if the breakfast items at this cafe were any good but the wait time was beyond reasonable and no warning was given ahead of time. If this cafe cannot handle all the tables they allotted, they should not have so many tables and open both levels (two stories), seating your customers and need them to wait at least 30 minutes for breakfast tells me that your kitchen is unable to manage a 90% full customer base.

I arrived around 7:30 a.m., and the place was already starting to get busy. Food They offer a very interesting assortment of donuts, including flavors you don't typically see elsewhere. Options like Blueberry Cheesecake, Brown Butter Hazelnut, and Cuban Coffee Cake stand out. I chose the Cuban Coffee Cake. It was essentially a spiced coffee cake shaped like a donut, topped with plenty of glaze and crumble. The portion was generous. It could easily feed two people, but I managed to finish the entire thing. For a beverage, I ordered a Mocha Latte. The flavor was very good, but it was served on the cool side. It was completely cold before I finished, and I ended up tossing the last portion. They only serve drinks in paper cups, not ceramic mugs. Although mugs were visible, I was told the health department does not allow them to use them. For me, coffee in a real mug always feels better than paper. Service I have mixed feelings about the service. The person taking my order seemed a bit on edge. When I asked about the mug situation, she appeared annoyed that I would even ask. Since it was my first visit, I asked about the most popular donut, and that also seemed to irritate her. I rephrased and asked for her personal favorite instead, which she answered more willingly. I noticed a few other staff interactions, and the overall tone of the crew felt tense. Not sure if that's typical or if it was just a busy morning. Atmosphere I took a small table inside to finish my coffee and donut. There are several small tables, best suited for two people. Toward the back of the dining area there were boxes and pallets visible. This isn't necessarily a place you visit for ambiance. Most people grabbed a box of donuts and left. Only a handful were dining inside. If you want a good donut with creative flavors, this place delivers. Just don't expect a relaxed coffee shop experience with welcoming, friendly staff.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I was debating carrying a mini gf key lime pie home, but after discussing my options with them, realized it would be too long of a flight but they do offer shipping with dry ice so you don't have to stress getting it home safely; which is what I'll be doing for my mom's birthday. I did purchase the mini gluten free pie and it was delicious. It was not the brighter colored green that some people expect out of the pie; which I appreciated because I don't want added ingredients and colors in my food. The key lime flavor came through and the pie itself was a lighter fluffier texture which made it easier to justify eating the entire thing. I recommend either a visit or just an online order straight to your door!
