    Chocolate dipped inside look

    The key lime pie was fantastic. Had an original piece frozen dipped in chocolate and also one regular. It was counter service. That particular day was very quiet and we had time to try the cookie samples also.

    I have been to Key West before as a teen and always loved when my dad would buy us slices of key lime pies for my siblings and I to indulge in. My parents are both very health conscious so this was a rare treat for us. After about 15 years since I last visited Key West, we stopped at the island as part of our cruises itinerary and my friends and I immediately knew we had to get authentic key lime pie! Thank goodness we found this location near our cruise port. Kermit's had great slices of tart and fresh key lime pie ($6 a slice), as well as whole pies for sale, ice cream, cookies, and a few other lime-y treats. The pie was so good!!! It was refreshing and indulgent and wonderful. This location is in a tourist-y area of Key West by Mallory Square and this is one of the smaller Kermit's Key Lime Pie Shops. It was decorated pretty cute as well. They also had samples out for customers to try. I might have helped myself to a few too many free samples! ... (I have problems with saying no to sweets).... I wish there was more seating inside and that the calories were listed for the pie slice, but otherwise, my friends and I loved our delicious dessert of pie on Pi Day 2026!

    If you love key lime, you need to go here. You can sample the cookies, crackers, and nuts. They have key lime pies in a whole or I slice. They also have frozen chocolate covered key lime pie on a stick Friendly staff.

    Dined: 5/27/26 This was our 1st trip to Key West and we arrived via Celebrity Reflection Cruise Ship. We love Key Like Pie and was trying to find the best in Key West. If you like a more tart filling than Kermit's is for you! However, if you like a less tart filling and an awesome crust, then Mattheessen's is for you.

    Very creative, I can't imagine key lime pie can make a good cookies. They're very generous on the cookies sample. I'm glad I tried them all, they were all so delicious. I almost wanted to buy all types of cookies I tried, but I have to hold back due to not enough luggage space. Overall, this is a great place for souvenir shopping, i like their key lime cookies. by the way, the shop itself is cute, love the decor and the wallpaper.

    Kermit's Key Lime Shop in Key West is a vibrant, sun-soaked icon at 200 Elizabeth Street, its cheerful yellow-and-green exterior welcoming visitors just steps from the historic seaport. Founded over 30 years ago by Kermit Carpenter who started with smoothies outside Papa's Restaurant before turning to his grandma's recipe and even lobbying in Tallahassee to make key lime pie Florida's official state dessert the shop has earned raves from Food Network and National Geographic for its authentic, tart perfection. No trip to Key West is complete without their legendary key lime pie: grab a slice or that famous chocolate-dipped bar on a stick, settle into the cute garden seating, and take a bite. The graham cracker crust crumbles perfectly, releasing a burst of bright, zesty lime custard that's creamy, tangy, and refreshingly balanced pure tropical heaven that melts on your tongue. Friendly service and the prime location make it even better. Bloody brilliant one forkful and you'll declare it the best in paradise !

    While on our recent cruise with Virgin Voyages, we docked at our first stop in Key West. We had the chance to explore the quaint little town and all it had to offer. One of the biggest spots my family wanted to visit was the Key Lime Store. Now, let me tell you--there are a number of key lime shops in Key West, and it really comes down to which one you choose. After doing some research online, we agreed on the location on Duval Street. It wasn't too far from the Conch Shack, which I'll review in another post. This location was busy--it was a Tuesday afternoon, and people were ready to get some key lime pie, including us! Kermit's seems to be popular, and it's easy to see why. It's such a cute, quaint spot. I loved the coastal decor, with the colors and interior giving a really fun vibe. They have a variety of treats to choose from, from drinks and pies to even cakes. We grabbed a slice of key lime pie to go, and the packaging was adorable! The staff was friendly and answered all of our questions. If you're in the area--whether docking from a cruise or just visiting the neighborhood--I definitely recommend this location! You will not be disappointed. It tastes even better than the key lime pies sold in stores, so come get yours

    Can't come to the Florida Keys and not try a slice of key lime pie! I stopped by Kermit's, because why not, and was happy that I did. The fine folks behind the counter really went far and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my pie-xperience. The flavor was sweet, tart and delicate. The crust was pretty good for a precut and stored slice. Though I was told this was "fresh." Whatever the case I enjoyed it sitting out on the back patio. Like most other pie spots they have a bunch of lime inspired goodies. Be sure to stop by.

    The best key lime pie in Key West. So good we stopped by three times and it did not disappoint. Delish crust with some crispiness to it , Creamy filling with the perfect amount of Zesty lime and not too sugary sweet and a great crust to filling ratio. Service was efficient and it made the perfect dessert to complement our dinners out while on vacation.

    This is the place I recommend this location lies are made fresh on site.

    The pie was ok. Literally it tastes like it came from the freezer section. Not fresh small portion. It You can Skip it. In my opinion Gk to the key lime bakery

    Jim N.

    Amazing store full of all things key lime... cookies, taffy, ice cream, candies ... all with ample free samples. A fun store to browse... and yes they have pie! Fresh, frozen, etc. your choice! Recommend you stop by at the end of Duval!

    This is THE place to get your key lime! They have pies, ice cream, cookies, the works. We got the famous key lime pie slice on a stick and I shares it with a friend. So good but very rich.

    Kermit's had great slices of tart and fresh key lime pie ($6 a slice), as well as whole pies for sale, ice cream, cookies, and a few other lime-y treats.

There's a European air and flair in the place, with items I've never come across in other shops, and I love that! There were lots of scented items, and I love how she had glass cloches over the individual scents, since I am scent-sensitive. I was afraid when I walked in I might not be able to take it, but it wasn't overpowering. There were so many home and gift items in here, I could have easily dropped 10x the amount of money I did If I'd brought a bigger suitcase. From the delicate new and vintage jewelry, to the frameable greeting cards, to high end teas (daily sample available), and cotton frocks sprinkled throughout, I felt like I could have spent two hours in this small shop and still not have seen everything. Yet, it doesn't feel overwhelming, because the merchandising skills utilized here just made it a pleasure to wander this way and that, admiring all the little touches. Honestly, it is an exemplary shop. I'd rank this in the top 5 shops I've ever visited anywhere, and I wander into a LOT of shops! This is a must if you are in Key West. You can get a cocktail anywhere, but these elegant displays and thoughtfully curated products are not to be missed!

    Half Shell Raw Bar was exactly what we were looking for that afternoon…read more The location right on the water is hard to beat. Grab a seat, order a cold beer, watch the boats come and go, and enjoy some seafood. Sometimes that's all you need. We stopped in for a pitcher of beer and a few bites. The clams were fresh, the seafood was good, and the service was friendly and attentive without hovering. What I liked most was that the place doesn't try to be anything other than what it is. No frills, no gimmicks, just a dockside seafood spot serving cold drinks and fresh seafood with a great view. I've heard they're known for happy hour, but we didn't make it for that. Based on our visit, I'd happily come back and give it a try next time. If you're looking for waterfront dining without all the fuss, this place is worth a stop.

We came with a larger party, so we all were able to try several items on the menu. To be fair, no one in our group tried the raw oysters, but we did have: drinks, appetizers, salads, and a variety of items off their dinner menu. The calamari and crab fritters were just okay, with the tomato dipping sauce being weird. The entree's were very disappointing. My daughter ordered the Rib Eye, which was paper thin 1/2" or less and flavorless. My wife had blackened grouper topped with crab, she felt the fish was fresh, but lacked any flavor enhancements that could make it better. My son ordered the fish sandwich which he said was just okay. We split a green salad that had one tomato, the lettuce was not cut, the croutons were stale. I ordered the Garlic Shellfish Combo. The combo was supposed to have clams, mussels, crab, lobster, shrimp, corn on the cob, red potatoes, garlic Cuban bread. I had one edible clam, the others did not open, it had 2 shrimp, three potatoes a crab claw in a garlic broth. Everything was Luke warm at best. The server smiled briefly but was curt with our large party. This is a popular place, but I don't get the hype. I'm hoping maybe next time I come to Key West to visit again.
