Either you're gonna have to get cozy or potentially take this to go/eat in the car. They have truly committed to the "jail" theme in a cute way. Second, coffee was DELISH. I want this every day of my life good. Third, food was fresh, tasty, and with generous portions. Only option for the breakfast Crunchwrap is sausage, so be aware, but it was very good and could easily be split for 2 people. We got there at 10:30, and they were already out of cinnamon rolls for the day. Will try to get here earlier next time to try one! Regardless, we will absolutely be back!

If you're traveling to or through Marathon, Florida, do yourself a favor and stop at LJ's Café for…read morebreakfast or lunch. This family-owned gem was one of the highlights of our trip! My husband ordered the ham, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing. We split it but the first thing we noticed it was huge. The sandwich was served on Cuban bread that they bake fresh themselves, and it was some of the best bread I've ever had; light, flaky, perfectly golden brown, and incredibly fresh. Every ingredient tasted fresh and homemade, including real eggs cooked to order, not the processed "fake" eggs you find in so many places. Be sure to save room for one of their homemade pastries. Like the bread, everything is baked in-house, and you can taste the care that goes into every bite. The coffee was equally impressive; rich, smooth, and full of flavor. It paired perfectly with breakfast and kept me coming back for more. What really sets LJ's Café apart, though, is the atmosphere. This is a true mom-and-pop establishment where family and friends work together. From the moment you walk into the small storefront, you're welcomed like family. The service is warm, genuine, and makes you feel right at home. And here's an added bonus for Florida travelers: the air conditioning is fantastic! After visiting several places in Marathon, we definitely appreciated being able to enjoy our meal in a cool, comfortable environment. I can't rave enough about this wonderful spot. If you're passing through Marathon, make sure your schedule allows for breakfast or lunch because those are the only hours they're open. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

We arrived 7 minutes later and the doors were locked with cars in the parking lot. Employees starting walking out the back and leaving while I called the business line and finally a man answered and said they closed early because of weather. He was not very friendly. He also said he would refund our money the next day. The next morning I received a call from him that he couldn't refund the order but would mail a check. Ten days later we received a check in the mail for $11.50. I shredded the check and disputed the charge through my credit card company for the full amount.

Conch Custard in Marathon is exactly what a local frozen custard shop should be, and something…read moreSouth Florida doesn't have nearly enough of. Everything is made in-house, and the custard is the real deal. This isn't the stabilized, heat-resistant soft serve you can walk around with for 20 minutes. This is old-school custard; dense, eggy, and already melting before you've taken your third bite. It forces you to stop, stand there, and actually eat it. As it should. The texture tells you everything. They're running proper equipment and not cutting corners. The swirl holds just long enough, then starts to collapse under its own weight, especially once you start loading it with toppings. The shop itself leans hard into Keys vacation energy; bright colors, clean, a little over the top. Not trying to be minimalist or trendy. Just unapologetically cheerful. And then there's the logo. Let's just say: ice cream piled into an open conch shell is... a choice. One that feels like it's perpetually one comment away from becoming a full-blown Facebook debate. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. For the record, no, there is no conch-flavored custard. I asked. Probably for the best. Bottom line: this is a focused, well-executed shop doing one thing right. Real custard, made properly, in a place that knows exactly what it is, even if the logo raises a few eyebrows along the way.

I asked the barista if I could have one with just cold milk...tell me why they took this as cold foam and instead of asking for clarification she got overwhelmed and asked her two other co workers, who said " idk what it is but I know it's alot of sugar" ummm no girl. The barista then said to me "Yea idk, I know it's a thing but I'm not sure how to do that. So you basically just told me that you are not capable of just making as you usually do, and just putting 'cold milk' instead of scolding hot milk in it, like it was a weird sort of science or had to be a trendy "cold foam" bs. I told her respectfully I did not want any coffee at all, and I was hesitant to purchase anything else I had selected. My husband did want that coffee so he ordered an "iced latte" and when he tasted it, it was just cold brewed american coffee in some watered down creamer liquid. The store is cute or whatever if you like really overpriced Knick knacks.

The gentleman who owns it bills himself as grouchy and surly, but we weren't fooled. He's clearly passionate about his business, his cat, and his coffee, including commissioning his own personal blend from a local roaster. Our lattes were smooth and delicious (almond and oat milk). Although pricing is pretty reasonable, especially for the Keys, I do wish they didn't charge extra for plant based milks. WIFI is available with a $5 purchase, and there is a variety of books to browse and/or buy while enjoying a coffee or pastry.
