This was an accidental find - popped in our first night in Key West because it was right across the street from our VRBO. It's a small cafe with personality - a few tables and a counter. Gabriela took great care of us (we went there THREE times while in Key West - once for dinner, twice for coffee and key lime pie!!). SOOOO good! Hubs had the beef tacos in corn tortillas with black beans and rice and salsa verde and pronounced it all delicious! (I tried the black beans and rice and loved it!). I had a chicken empanada which was great but I loved the arepa stuffed with shredded chicken the best - fabulous with their homemade salsa verde (I would put that on everything!!!). Let me tell you about that ginger mimosa - amazing! They make their own ginger syrup and I loved that it had a little ginger bite and was not overly sweet. While everyone CLAIMS to have "authentic" key lime pie, this one won our vote - no toxic green color and a smooth creamy tangy custard. And not cool whip either. Yum! Hubs said it was as good as his aunt's and that's high praise. The cafe con leche was also perfect. read more

I'm disappointed. Lettuce, tomatoes and onions have no place on a Cuban sandwich. I'm from Tampa were they know how to make a proper Cuban Sandwich. read more

Can't go wrong eating here. The food and service is some of the best on the island. As the restaurant is across the street from our favorite hotel, I start my day with a cafe con leche every morning. The Cuban sandwich is outstanding. Everything is cooked to order. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Catarina is a sweetheart! The Cubin Mix is fresh crisp and the best I've had. Highly recommended for the food and good energy pick me up!

Arrived on a busy Sunday late morning to a busy but not packed shop. We wanted coffees and toast to go, but the single server said to order food we needed to sit at a table. Down we sat. When she came over, I asked how long for coffees and toast, and if we should actually be taking up a table for a carry out order. The server said, "I can't tell you that." I clarified: "Could you say if it'll be 10 minutes or 45 minutes?" and she confirmed that she could not (would not?) answer the question. Then she turned to another customer standing there and repeated (incredulously) that she had no idea how long anything would take. Very strange. That was a our cue to leave and head to Cuban Queen, which offers true counter service and a much friendlier atmosphere. If you're looking for a sit-down, menu experience, this might be an option. If you want quick carry out, this is not it. Either way, service has to be friendlier almost anyplace else. read more

We stopped in for lunch and share the tacos con al pastor and a Cuban sandwich. A great meal and the tacos were by far better than the sandwich. But I'd recommend both if you are hungry. We also ordered a couple of iced Cuban mocacinnos which were fine but needed more ice! They do have table service or you can order at the counter. It's a quaint little place but was enjoyable. read more

Stopped in for lunch, I had the Cuban Sandwich which was awesome. Highly recommend and the service was also fabulous.

We discovered this cute lil cafe while getting a little lost while walking in Key West. This place is more than a cafe and has a HUGE variety of meals. After eating some not so great items in the touristy area, I wish I had room in my stomach to try some of the awesome food at this place. This may be an odd complaint but I kinda wish their menu was smaller. We got a couple of cuban coffees and an Orange and Melon drink. When we visit Key West in the future, we will be sure to make this one of our first places to visit. read more

Oh my gosh, Cuban coffee is totally my fave in KW! And those breakfast burritos and tacos? They're always a treat. Seriously, I have to make it a stop every time I'm there. read more

From the amazing coffee made with love to the breakfast items (huevos ranchers, breakfast chicken tacos, and breakfast bacon egg and cheese sandwiches and empanadas) and freshly squeezed orange juice you cant go wrong with any of the items on the menu. Our airbnb was around the corner and we found this gem which we hit every morning. The service is warm and friendly. You definitely get quality food for a good price. Highly recommend. read more

I'm still thinking about this breakfast burrito!! One of the best I've had for sure! We stopped in one morning while waiting for our laundry to finish. It was so hot but the a/c was amazing. The restaurant was clean and had lots of Cuban themed decorations and pictures to look at. Our server was very nice and quick with water and a passion fruit mimosa- delicious! My fiancé and I shared the sausage breakfast burrito. It was wonderful. The green sauce on the side was amazing and I loved the red sauce. Stop here if you are looking for a great breakfast and great people! read more

Key West Cuban Coffee - Mexican chorizo empanada with salsa verde - Cuban Near Me - Key West, Florida

We visited Key West Cuban Coffee after an audible from Moondog (25 min wait) for a late morning breakfast. There was no wait and we split a Chorizo Breakfast Burrito with a hot black coffee and an iced latte. The burrito was delicious, with the chorizo having more of a ground beef texture than the cased sausage chorizo we've had at other restaurants in KW. The spice level of the meat and salsa was excellent and the salsa verde complemented the dish. The only complaint was from my girlfriend who ordered an iced latte which tasted a bit burnt upon receipt. There was music playing over the speakers inside at a nice volume level. There was also a set of drums for live music at different times. The prices were a bit higher than our regular breakfast spot but the burrito was more substantial. We would visit again as a nice change of pace from Cuban Coffee Queen. read more

Sweetest mama that put my faith back in the humanity. That salsa coming with the sandwich was muy muy rico - wish there was a whole dollop of extra that comes with every single sandwich order, not in a pequeno Solo cup, solamente. No need to mention how the Cuban sandies were - they melted away too quickly in my hungry stomach. Cute decos you can indulge taking pictures. read more

Amazing service and the ceviche was so good and acidic. Shrimp tasted very fresh as well, and tostones were crispy. 10/10 read more

Hands down best tacos on Key West! It's a super small place so they probably can't do larger parties but it was perfect for two! The only complaint I have is there were two really large pieces of fat in the Tacos Al Pastor which was not great. But the flavor was AMAZING! They even had an amazing habanero sauce - we love spicy! We will be coming back every visit! read more

The minute me and my wife walked in here and I saw the lady behind the counter I knew the food was going to be amazing!!!! And I was not wrong!! Me and my wife stoped by to have a quick dinner here after reading all these great reviews about this place. I ordered the grilled chicken with tostones, rice, beans and green sauce. I have to say the chicken was amazing so fresh and juicy, definitely hands down one of the best grilled chicken dishes I ever had. The tostones on the other hand definitely the best tostones I ever had, they were so crispy and amazing I could just eat a whole plate of them. My wife got the skirt steak which was very tender and juicy, overall very very good. Also our waitress was super nice and helpful. We also got the Key Lime pie which is actually made right here on premise. It was very very good and full of flavor. I would honestly recommend this hidden gem to everyone who's looking to have some good food! Trust me you won't be disappointed!!! Next time we're in Key West we are definitely coming by for more food! read more

Yum, yum YUM! We walked to this quaint little Cuban coffee and breakfast spot. So glad we will be here a few days. As we will be going again. For our first time Cuban coffee drinkers, they did not disappoint! I had questions and they kindly helped me understand what Cuban coffee meant. I had an iced con leche and my hubby had the frozen. Soooo smooth and flavorful. We also had their spicy turkey sausage and fried egg English muffin. Wow. Yea...breakfast tomorrow for sure. Run, don't walk, and get you some! read more

A huge array of dishes with a sweet friendly owner and huge portions of delicious food! We came for breakfast and got a huge portion of catch of the day grilled grouper in a bowl with beans and rice and salad, with an excellent side of chimichurri. My wife got the breakfast egg bowl and daughter the shrimp bowl. All were enormous, comfort food and high quality. The cocoa beans with cinnamon and allspice was a cut above the usual hot chocolate. The guava and cheese empanada was OUTSTANDING, fresh out of the oven and the best we have ever had! Next time, will load up on them to go! Lots of leftovers and reasonably priced, right off Duval street and one of the stops of the Key West train tour. Definitely recommend! read more

Food and service was excellent . 1 minute walk to beach with an awesome cup of Cuban Coffee read more

food was really good, but i honestly felt the prices were pretty high. if the inside wasn't so cramped and nicer in general i would understand charging $17 for a cuban sandwich. i felt it was pretty understaffed, our waitresses obviously doing the best she could but it felt like a ghost town in there. The food, really good. I got the mixed cuban and some plantains, really great sandwich. my husband got the ropa vieja sandwich but i felt they skimped heavily on the meat, as half of his sandwich was missing meat lol. he also got a side of the tostones, which were pretty good. our total ended up being around $60 which i felt was very expensive but whatever. Good food, but too expensive, understaffed, cramped read more

My friends and I were looking for place to recover from a night of good times. Key West Cuban Coffee looked to be the perfect place to overcome a hangover. Located in the middle of Key West near Duval, it was pretty easy to get to. We rode rented bikes and locked them up at the nearby rack. From there it was a short walk to get inside and seat ourselves in the quaint space. The staff was very attentive to our needs and got us started quickly. The menu has a ton of options for every palate with everything from breakfast burritos to traditional tacos and churrasco. After deliberation among the group, we decided to try a variety of Cuban coffee from cortadas to iced black coffee and a caramel latte. They all exceeded expectations. As for the fare itself, we started with an order of ham croquettes (also amazing) before ordering entrees. I chose the Ropa Vieja plate pictured alongside the review. Portions were amazing, and value was pretty good at around $18 at the time of this review. Honestly, it was one of the best meals I've had in recent memory. The beef was perfectly savory, and the tomatillo salsa was particularly great as well mixed with the rice. I loved the plantains too. All in all, I can't recommend this place more. If you have the time, this is a must-see restaurant in Key West and the perfect place to get your day started in paradise. read more

Fantastic place - came here to have a Cuban and they delivered! The Cuban Mix sandwich was outstanding! Delicious combo of meat and cheese - the salami really put the flavor over the top. The pork was melt in your mouth, the bread was thin and crispy with just right spreads of mayo and mustard. Carolina was very friendly and welcoming - wish I was closer so I could return to try the rest of the menu! read more

A bit of a quieter spot in downtown Key West. Enjoyed seeing some different choices on the menu, although, for better part, not a whole lot different than a "Mexican" menu. Food came out timely, served courteously and piping hot. Prices for this cuisine rather steep. read more

Service was good. Space is small so I could see them being too busy to eat in sometimes. Definitely will be back! read more

Day 2/4 and will likely come again. Hidden gem. Glad we came! read more
