Cute family owned and operated grocery store. Selection and pricing varied, but I was able to find everything I needed and there were lots of local and regional fare as well. Staff was nice. read more

We had just arrived in town and needed to pick up a few essential items. It's not a huge supermarket, but we found most of what we were looking for. There was a good selection of produce, dairy, snacks, and beverages. Of course, there's always a bit of sticker shock when shopping in a small tourist town, but that's part of the price of visiting paradise. Definitely a place we would return to. The staff who helped us were pleasant. read more

They had everything we needed for a week in old town. They allowed us to take the cart to our house around the block and return in within the hour. We utilized Fausto's all week and never had to uber to a chain supermarket. read more

Excellent grocery store that has a few parking spots that makes it easy for handicap people to get in and out. Excellent deli - try their sandwiches. As has been mentioned previously, yes you will pay a little bit more but the convenience and the employees are extremely friendly and helpful and the choices for food items and fresh vegetables are excellent. Highly recommend this location - especially in the heart of Key West. read more

Amazing little grocery store in the heart of Key West. Serving their own versions of common salad dressing, salsa, seasonings, and everything else. The employees are always friendly and willing to help you if needed. It's location is perfect for grabbing something on the way to the beach where I am ordering a custom sandwich. read more

Fausto's Food Palace - nice, little ham sandwich, made to perfection. I will enjoy it. Go get one yourself. - Grocery Near Me - Key West, Florida

Great small market with a good selection in every department. Bought three prime rib eye steaks and grilled them with just salt and pepper. Delicious!! You might need to ask them to bag your groceries since our checker today didn't offer to do that for us with our three items. Guess he was waiting for more. LOL. read more

Great little grocery store within walking distance from our cottage! Deli sandwiches were the best! Had a nice conversation with a local gentleman who gave us some great restaurant recommendations! Don't pass on this place! read more

Fausto's Food Palace - Deli sandwich Boars Head Smoked Turkey on Croissant! - Grocery Near Me - Key West, Florida

This is a great place to get groceries. May not be the cheapest but enough variety for necessities. Small and old town feel. Employees seem helpful if needed. The meat selection looks great if you plan on grilling. read more

Fausto's Food Palace is just a wonderful small grocery store that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. The employees welcome you, and help you find exactly what you need, or recommend new things to try every time. You will absolutely fall in love with this place. I highly recommend the chocolate milk after a rough night. read more

Ridiculous Bad Service. After loading my cart with over $150 worth of products, I went to pay and asked for a triple bag. I was commuting with a scooter with no basket and wanted to put the bag over the handlebar on the scooter. The cashier and (I think the manager) told me I could get a double bag but not a triple bag. I told them that was ridiculous and that they could put away all the groceries on the conveyer belt.......and then I walked out. DUMB DUMB DUMB! read more

I really like shopping at Fausto's Food Palace on Fleming Street. Started in 1926 Fausto's the oldest continuing running business in Key West. It's also a neighborhood grocery store close to Old Town Key West. It's also close to where I stay, being the Simonton Court Historic Inn. Being a local neighborhood, one treat you get while shopping here is running into some of the locals and local characters for which Key West is so well known. And where else would you see a "You Can't Beat Our Meat" t-shirt or what other grocery store holds itself out not to be a store, but a "palace." Like everything else in Key West, it's pricier but considering where you are, not unreasonably so. Their displays are good, they have an excellent cheese selection and of course the most friendly as well as charming staff. read more

Clean and quaint little grocery store nestled in downtown key west. Employees are kind and helpful. Prices are fair considering where it's located. read more

Great selection at this little grocer. If you're buying steak or seafood, go down the road to the smaller one which has cheaper prices.

They carry a bit of almost everything. It is convenient, prices higher than Publix but fresh and good. Nice meat counter, wide selection. They have 2 locations, in Old Town on Fleming, and another on White St. Fleming St loc is bigger than White St read more

I recently moved to Key West. We now live just a block away from Fausto's, so it is certainly convenient! Expect to pay for that convenience. Key West, especially Old Town, can be pretty pricy but at Fausto's expect to pay $1.49 a pound for bananas that are 79 cents a pound everywhere else, $7-8 for a box of cereal, or $6 for a small pack of Velveeta cheese slices. The store is clean, the employees are friendly, and I will most likely continue to shop here occasionally since I am now in the area ... but probably only when I run out of something and I don't want to drive all the way to Publix or Winn Dixie. read more

Fausto's Food Palace - a man standing in front of a store - Grocery Near Me - Key West, Florida

Fausto's is amazing. That there could be a fully-stocked grocery within short walking distance to downtown Key West is absolutely incredible. Our first stop after we drop off our bags at the sheet-term rental. Fausto's nourishes us all week long. I am extremely grateful that they are here and I hope they stay here for a long, long time! read more

Great neighborhood grocery (I hesitate to say "supermarket") store, very down-home. (You have to love it that they self-style as a "palace.") Extensive produce selection. Clean. (I only visited the Fleming Street store, I believe there are two locations in Key West.) But let me get right to the point: any place that sells store t-shirts with emblazoned with "You Can't Beat Our Meat" deserves more stars than Yelp has or ever will have. Not what you'll find at your typical IGA or Price Chopper, although there is that Key West rep to live up to. I was also impressed with the selection of birthday and other occasion cards done by a local photographer. Also, check out the classic font they used for the signage on the front of the store. read more

Awesome grocery store, great selection along with meat, deli and seafood departments !

Great in town selection, convenient parking on site and a friendly staff. The place I return to every time we're in Old Town. read more

I came here to purchase lunch meat and the advertised price was posted on the wall at the deli counter for all to see. When the label was printed it showed an incorrect price which was much higher and the owner/ manager did not want to give me the advertised price until I insisted. She finally adjusted the price and had the nerve to say really loud for all to hear that I just saved a whopping few cents. Just as rude and ignorant as could be trying to embarrass me in front of other customers. you need to be vigilant about checking your register receipt against the purchases that you made read more

Surprisingly good variety of items for a Mom and Pop grocery store. Great prepared food section at the back offering delicious vegetarian dishes like broccoli, carrot edamame salad with a wasabi cream dressing or quinoa veggie salad with a zesty vinaigrette. Greg in the deli section was very friendly and helpful with his suggestions! Friendly staff and reasonably priced groceries for an indie grocery store on Key West. The only thing that would make this place better is if they offered single beers for purchase so I could grab everything in one place. read more

Fausto's Food Palace - Mashed potatos, broccoli edamame carrot salad and quinoa with veggies. All delicious! (Taken after I started eating) - Grocery Near Me - Key West, Florida

This is the only proper grocery store in the main part of the island, i.e. not a 7/11 type store or a bodega. If you need food and don't have a car, this is the place to go. It's a large store with multiple aisles. Lots of fresh fruit and veggies and loads of wonderful cheeses. As mentioned in other reviews, it is pricy but - you are paying for convenience and it's still cheaper than going out to eat. For example, a pack of raspberries was $5.99 and bananas were 99c / lb. My only complaint was with the deli. It's slow, even if you are on Island Time. I bought two hard boiled eggs (59c/each). When I got home to eat them they were runny. Not even soft-boiled but barley cooked. Not worth going back for a refund. A cute note - the owner was stocking the shelf when I was looking at the meat and made a suggestion. It was unexpected. read more

Great small supermarket in walking distance from all locations in Key West. Staff very helpful. Prepared meals, coffee and treats. All the good stuff when vacationing. read more

Always friendly staff even under Covid19 conditions. Can't go wrong!! Ask for Jimmy in the butcher shop. He's the best!!

Love to pick up deli sandwiches sometimes hot ready food I recommend this market! Everyone is nice and helpful. They have 2 markets in kW read more

Provisioning for a Bahamas crossing can be a tricky prospect in a town you may not be familiar with. In a town like Key West, you could end up grocery shopping at a glorified convenience store. Not Faustos, though. Actually recommended to me from a bartender at the brewery by the docks this grocery store is proper. It's got a great selection of anything you'll need for jot only provisioning, but daily considerations. It's hot just pantry items either but a healthy selection of daily breads, dairy, frozen foods, and fresh catch. It's about a half mile walk from the docks but an Uber or hand cart turns that trip into child's play with plenty of scenery along the way, hey, it's Key West! read more

The place has been here since the dawn of time they history and the story of the store is amazing it's what you can get in Key West and really for that it's not add and the prices are in fact that for Key West read more

TERRIBLE customer service. I guess one of the qualifications to work there is crappy customer service. Not only is the majority of the staff RUDE, they are unfriendly and unhelpful. OVER PRICED, for the convenience which I would have no problem paying for if you received quality, friendly service. Something the White Street location doesn't offer, the Fleming store isn't much better either. Convenience isn't worth it anymore. If I have to go to the dreaded Publix or got without, I guess that's my choice. This being a "family owned business" does not guarantee fresh quality or wonderful service, Possibly Jimmy is out of touch how his staff relate to their consumers. Bet Mom & Dad would not be proud...... read more

"Going down to Fausto's to get some chocolate milk, can't lie forever in your sheets of silk...my head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus." Yeah, this is THAT Fausto's. (There's one on White Street that I could review, but I'm not going to, because 99% of you are never going there unless you live here or pretend you do....or really have a bad travel agent that put you in some out-of-the-way accomodations.) Big points because it's local, and Key West is in danger of losing some of the local flavor that it's always been able to retain, because evil developers and some speculative but unscrupulous types try to homogenize the island. NOTE TO KEY WESTERS: People come to your island because you're unique. Add McDonald's, CVS Pharmacies, "luxury" condos and Krogers/Publix/Winn-Dixies and you eliminate the character. Big points because they deliver. And that includes beer & wine. Little points for having a decent wine selection and an ok selection of fresh fruits & veggies. Negative points for a piss-poor seafood selection. Ditto for the meats. Very Key West, and in need of your support to stave off the Grocery-In-A-Big-Boxes of the world. read more

Its one thing to be quaint and in keeping with Key West old world traditions; and another to be dated and overpriced. Sorry...everything here is 25-35% more then other places. Locals who traded in their automobile to live in old town and ride their bicycle to food shop get ripped off every day. Smaller sized upscale markers like Josephs in Palm Beach county have a vastly superior upscale assortment, and prices that often beat the big box stores. To make matters worse service is so slow. The deli counter seems to take forever, prepared foods look old and nasty ...and limited, meat is choice but prices like prime and produce is nothing special...and expensive. I think this place seriously needs updating, better choices and more affordable prices. I fail to see any charm or advantage to shopping here. read more

This place is relevant only because there is no other grocery store in the vicinity. I stayed in the area for a month and during a whole month i had several visits there (only reason being lack of other options) so more than qualified to write a reliable review. I pay attention to eat fresh and organic but there was almost nothing fresh and organic in that store, not even one time I left happy. How difficult is it to keep a few pieces of vegetables fresh? Extremely over-priced, under-stocked, rotting organic veggies and fruits, only a few items, that is all. And an abundance of chemical filled canned packaged groceries.. They changed management twice while I was there but no improvement has been observed. Too bad.. read more

Great little grocery store with exceptional deli counter and made to order sandwiches. Great sushi selection and other salads and stuff for a quick lunch to go. read more

I went here twice and found it to be more than adequate for what it is. I can't speak to the produce but hesitate to rate it less than four stars as we were able to find everything we wanted and needed in addition to being distracted by other interesting options offered. It is plenty busy so that tells me the locals use it too, rather than driving to Publix for instance. read more

We have had good luck with this grocery. Of course it is not a big box, go to the suburbs for vacation if that is what you want. Good place with a good selection of groceries. We have been there several times and always had someone ask if we needed help. read more

We have been here a few times already on our week long trip to Key West. Pretty nice store. Definitely a Mom and Pop shop. Nice people that work there and a pretty good assortment of products. Prices are a bit steep, but in a place like Key West you would expect that. read more

Family run small store where the customers are treated like family. No need for a big box grocery store when I have Fausto's.

This is a great little corner store and deli. Good selection and convenient. Team are polite and helpful. Coming from Cali I'm a bit spoiled with wine selection and prices and these are a bit high for the level of quality. Overall a great place to get all you need! read more

We love Fausto's -- delicious pre-made lunch items in the deli. Chicken salad & Texas caviar are my fav!! Great customer service. Lovely little local market! You'll feel great about supporting them! *AND GREAT BEER SELECTION* read more

This is a grocery store not a restaurant. The selection here is limited for some common items but if you want some protein or cheese this is the store you want to buy from. I have never seen some many kinds of cheese. The meet and fish selections are equally incredible. read more

Convenient to Heron House. All the basic items you will need............like beer and stuff. A tad expensive but that is Key West. read more
