Key West Breakfast Spots

When I think about mornings in Key West, I immediately picture ocean breezes, bright skies, and a plate of something delicious in front of me. I’ve had the chance to try a few unforgettable breakfast spots down here, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to start your day with something local, cozy, and full of flavor. Whether you're into Cuban coffee, seafood omelets, or French pastries, Key West has a breakfast table with your name on it.

Highlights:

• Blue Heaven – I sat under the trees with roosters wandering nearby while diving into banana pancakes the size of my plate. You’ll love the quirky vibes and live music in the morning sun.
• La Grignote – This charming French bakery is where I always stop for a buttery croissant and a café au lait. If you love pastries and quiet sidewalk tables, this one’s a must.
• Harpoon Harry’s – If you’re in the mood for a hearty, no-frills diner breakfast, this spot never disappoints. I still remember the Key West Benedict and how friendly the staff was.
• Fisherman’s Café – I grabbed a breakfast sandwich here before heading out on a snorkel trip—it’s quick, fresh, and right by the marina. You’ll love the Cuban toast and chill waterfront vibe.
• Sandy’s Café – This one’s my go-to for a Cuban breakfast and strong café con leche. It’s a local favorite for a reason—and I always take mine to-go and walk toward the water.
