Great home made food. Met the brothers and the mother who cooks the best empanadas I've ever had. great service and best meal we had during our 7 days on the island, hands down. great family that owns and runs the restaurant. everything was fresh! great coffee. I wish we would have came the first day instead of the 4th day but we made it count. read more

Paradise Cafe - Chicken quesadilla with fries - Cuban Near Me - Key West, Florida

Awesome service, price and food! Highly recommend. We called in breakfast two mornings. Small area to sit as well.

Best breakfast on the island 10/5 stars!!! Just order the burrito and buchi it's amazing --

WARNING!! You may not be able to drink coffee anywhere else after visiting this establishment! They're Cafe Con Leche is so good, I would come back to Key West just for that alone. This is a small cafe on an unassuming side street, but my wife and I made a point to come here every morning of our vacation to drink their coffee. We also tried their breakfast tacos and huevos rancheros, which were also VERY good. The service is quick and friendly, and their prices are reasonable. We absolutely loved this place. read more

Amazing locals spot! Never fails to please. Wonderful home cooked meals and a lovely owner!

This place is a big hit with the Hispanic community and after eating here you'll know why. Flavors are robust in a way that I have to remind myself not to gobble! Portions are large, service is joyful and if you don't want to take it to go there is a nice shady area behind the restaurant to eat alfresco. The cortadito is the best I've ever had, sometimes that's all I order. read more

The coffee was great and the chickens where added fun would recommend and come back next time I'm on the island read more

Found this place by accident. Really happy we did. Food is outstanding. Prices reasonable. Going every morning for breakfast. Near 1800 Atlantic Blvd. You won't be disappointed read more

Had the breakfast tacos. Excellent service and friendly staff. Enjoyed the coffee. Has some outside seating. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Paradise Cafe. I may be biased because I work nextdoor and basically go at least 2x/wk.... Orfa and her staff are kind, SUPER hardworking, and the food is bomb. I like the bfast burrito (sub bacon because chorizo makes my tummy hurt), fish special (its a LITERAL FISH), cuban toast (yummmm). But you literally can't go wrong. My boss swears by the breakfast tacos. Most of the time we just get the special of the day because it's always delicious. The kids like the regular cheese burgers. The coffee is A+. During covid it is so important to support local small business and that is exactly what Orfa is. Her family works with her! Give my girl a shoutout if you happen by. It's worth the trip if you're in KW. read more

The food was 12/10 amazing. I got tacos and my husband got a burrito. Don't let the grimy ambiance fool you, the food is better than the walk up window promises. If you're looking for a fancy sit down restaurant this is not the place. This is more like a street vendor that sells amazing food and back behind the window where you order is a cute little tiki bar like area where you can sit. The prices were super reasonable too. read more

Really nice spot for breakfast or lunch. Had a really good chicken avocado sandwich here before going to the beach and my mother had some nachos that were pretty good. The staff is nice and friendly as well. read more

Paradise Cafe - Chicken Avacado Sandwich - Cuban Near Me - Key West, Florida

Stopped at Paradise Cafe on the way to the airport. Probably the BEST fish tacos we had on our trip (and we have them at almost every restaurant)! You can't beat the authenticity of this place. The seating is the back is a major plus too! read more

I tried the chicken breast sandwich It was the most flavorful juiciest sandwich i ever tried in my lifetime of eating sandwiches i highly recommend this sandwich at paradise cafe and thier wings are amazing too and everything is at a good price as well and affordable very neat packing too . read more

See all

Absolutely amazing in every way. Delicious food, convenient location, great atmosphere and prices. Just visit ... you will be so glad you went. read more

A must! We purchased breakfast to go for 8 people- and everything was amazing. I had the huevos rancheros and ate every single bite even though I wasn't that hungry bc I knew this was my one shot at great food in the keys- and we had already been to some highly recommended $$$ restaurants. read more

We ordered two Spanish omelettes and a side of pancakes. Regardless if eat in or take out they add automatic gratuity to your bill. Omelettes were $12.99 a piece, got two, 1 order pancakes $3.95, total bill came to $38. I've attached a picture, the omelettes were teeny weeny. The bread was pretty good. And we were allowed to get one can of soda a piece out of the cooler. Overall I feel like this is a terrible value. The Omelette was so small I couldn't taste it, only bread. Also if you eat here be careful with the seats. My girlfriend was wearing shorts and cut her butt cheek on the aluminum strapping of the seat where it was cracked. I'll take a picture of that too. read more

Amazing amazing amazing. We ordered the desayuno catracho and bcn egg and cheese. Everything was so great, reminded me of home cooking.

Never fails to please. Great service, great food and plenty of it. You would never know by looking at it. At the corner of 1st and Flagler Ave. I like the little seating area in the rear of the building. This is my to go to breakfast place now. read more

Outstanding food very authentic. Worth the stop! I am from Uostate NY and Cuban Food is not something we can easily find. So this was worth the teip. read more

Excellent food and service! Would recommend the Green tacos and Desayuna Chapino for breakfast!

This place is amazing! Just a small roadside cafe with only a few seats but so worth it! One of the best coffee con leches I've had! Fruit smoothies were fresh, thick and creamy!! Family of 5, all ordered different breakfast items, all very happy! Burritos and sandwiches were delish, corned beef hash very very good! Huevos Rancheros were awesome and the beans were out of this world!! And friendly staff and fair prices to boot! Highly recommend! read more

Super good really enjoyed the tacos and beer. Everything tasted amazing, wish I lived closer I'd probably be there everyday.

Not a tourist trap... and an authentic local cafe! The breakfast and coffee con leche is amazing! Worth the short bike ride from the main strip! read more

My husband and I stopped here yesterday for a couple of ice coffees. Friendly service and great Cuban coffee that hit the spot! I'm picky so if u like a good cup of quality coffee try paradise read more

Loved it. Great food, great prices, excellent service. My family of 5 enjoyed Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner here throughout our weeklong stay in Key West. The fish sandwich is my favorite, and the kids and husband loved the breakfast tacos and Cuban Mix. read more

Orpha is a seasoned restaurateur who is making sure the traditional Cuban style coffee shop stays in Key West. Not only does she make excellent café con leche, the breakfast sandwiches are wonderful. But breaking tradition she is also putting out amazing tacos - chorizo too! Like all coffee shops...patience pays. But whoa! She takes credit cards... read more

Amazing authentic food, a little hole in the wall but there is seating in the shade in the back, the service was great, the homemade flour tortillas and the salsa were amazing. Everything fresh and made on site. Definitely recommend read more

Fish sandwich had great flavour and was cooked well. A bit pricy for what was offered overall. Seating is minimal, best to get to go.

Best coffee and food!! Homemade tortillas, fresh Cuban bread, authentic Cuban coffee (with an option to have it iced). Fair prices, good menu. Such nice people. I'm never going anywhere else. read more

Cute little place to stop and get some coffee or food. I got a cappuccino and it was one of the best I had. The staff was super nice and helpful! read more

Had the best breakfast of my whole trip for $25 and I couldn't even finish it all. Would give 10 stars if I could. Get the coffee and empanadas even if u getting a big meal read more

Super good authentic food. Got on way to airport. Only outside seating but great. It's key west!!! People are super nice. Go here

Local place away from the activity of Duval and surrounding streets. Great food at reasonable prices. The Cuban coffee is outstanding. As a tourist, I love to find these family owned, fresh home cooking places. The employees were very friendly. Huge egg/cheese sandwiches, each comes with hash brown or home fries for only $4.99. read more

Came to Key West for vacation, tried this place around 1 PM on a Saturday. Has a cool vibe, and the lady behind the counter is extremely friendly. I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich and the cafe con leche, both were absolutely out of this world. Wife had the American breakfast along with a cafe con leche of her own and was also very impressed with both. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

This spot is one of the BEST in key west! This was one of the only places me and my partner enjoyed every bit of both of our meals! Thank you paradise cafe! read more

We visited twice in the past 2 days to this little gem! The coffee, con leche, breakfast sandwiches and burritos were amazing - fresh, large enough to share and a great value. Service was friendly , everything was super clean and food was prepared promptly. It's small and all seating is outdoors, but you can also get your order to-go. I wish we had this back home in Pittsburgh! We will definitely visit again when we are in Key West. Highly recommended! read more

This place is amazing. Beautiful courtyard seating wonderful people serving you and the most amazing Cuban food that I have ever had
