Lobster Shack Cafe - Rain Barrel Village…read more Beautiful spot in the Keys with friendly staff and solid food quality. The seafood is fresh and the sandwiches are well-made. The manatee cafe vibe is perfect for the location. Worth stopping by if you're in the area. My one significant gap: if you have a dairy allergy, this isn't the place. Nearly everything on the menu relies on milk, cream, or cheese. I couldn't find a single non-dairy option, and the staff didn't have substitutions to offer. I know Key West locations nearby have dairy-free choices, so it's possible here too--just not on the menu or offered as an accommodation. That's a miss for an inclusive food business in 2026.

This is a very neat stop when in Islamorada. From the huge lobster out front to the many shops,…read morethere's lots to see. Some shops offer great local artists' creations. Others have anything from upscale home items to very touristy trinkets. Definitely worth a stop. There are also comfortable chairs for those waiting on others to finish up their shopping.

What a little hidden gem of a spot! My friends who own a place in the middle Keys recommended this…read morearea to stop for some cool shopping and coffee. At first we actually passed the parking lot...I'd be surprised if other people did as well! The Village Square entrance is a bit set in through a gate in a fence...very inconspicuous if you don't know it's there. So we made a u-turn and headed back...My first stop was the Miss Monroe Boutique as I was looking for a certain kind of bag that I wanted to buy. Very cute store - like a mix of Etsy and Lily Pulitzer...unique and distinct items. From there we walked around and checked out all the cool vendor stalls...My favorite was the plants - so beautiful and lush...macrame holders, etc....We also went to Cafe Moka for a coffee and a snack. We sat down in the garden to enjoy our small meal and then we headed on our way...We will definitely stop here again!

Each storefront is tucked away in their own uniquely designed hideaway showcasing their local artists and treasures unique to the florida keys. Only those that have explored the "keys" know what I'm talking about and those that have not explored the "keys" I encourage you to add it to your bucket list. The service is relaxed and personally engaging and how can you put a price on the beautiful and unique artisan pieces you will get to enjoy. You can choose quality outfits and accessories from Miss Monroe boutique or botanicals from boo kee Sue botanics, enjoy a refreshing beverage at Cafe Moka or stop for a quick bite at Bad Boy Sushi or Bad Boy Burrito.

Can't get ahold of them by phone or email. They have great stuff, you have to go there to purchaseread more
