When in the Florida Keys and Key West, eating key lime pie is a must! There’s no shortage of this favorite treat of the Keys, and I’m sharing some of the best places to grab a piece.
This post is in partnership with The Florida Keys and Key West who hosted our visit. All opinions are my own. You can read my full Disclosure Policy here.
There is so much to do on a family vacation to the Florida Keys and Key West. Anyone who visits will tell you that one of the highlights of the trip is the food. There’s an abundance of fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and tasty cocktails. And no matter where you go, you’re sure to find key lime pie on the dessert menu.
We ordered a piece (even if we were so stuffed that we had to share) in just about every restaurant we dined with, and yes, we even had some for breakfast one day. Vacation mode was in full effect and the laid back vibe of The Keys means anything goes, even pie for breakfast!
I’ve gathered up the best-of-the-best list to share, and these are the places you want to be sure to hit for a slice of key lime pie in The Florida Keys.
Best Places to Get Key Lime Pie in The Florida Keys
Eating all the Key Lime Pie is a required part of a road trip through the Florida Keys, and we made it our mission to find the best pieces of pie during our vacation.
Here are some of the places you don't want to miss!
The Hungry Tarpon Restaurant at Robbie's of Islamorada
Robbie's of Islamorada is a must-do on your Florida Keys vacation, and the food at The Hungry Tarpon is incredible. Save room for this extra-limey piece of key lime pie.
Blue Heaven in Key West
We ate the most delicious breakfast at Blue Heaven, and typically you don't have dessert with breakfast but when you're at Blue Heaven, you do. This Key Lime Pie is iconic and a must-try while in Key West.
Morada Bay Beach Cafe in Islamorada
The Morada Bay Beach Cafe Key Lime Pie is tart and sweet, perfectly paired with fresh berries and whipped cream.
Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe
With two locations in Key West, you can't miss a stop at Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe. A tart key lime flavor, sweet whipped cream, and a tasty graham cracker crust make for the perfect slice of heaven in the Florida Keys.
Turtle Kraals Restaurant in Key West
That homemade graham cracker crust on the Turtle Kraals key lime pie is to die for. My kids each needed their own piece. No sharing when it's this good!
Key West Key Lime Pie Co.
Key Lime Pie on a stick? Yup! You'll find this famous one-of-a-kind treat at the Key West Key Lime Pie Co. on Greene Street in Key West. Yes, they have traditional key lime pie, too. But...on a stick and covered in chocolate? Yes, please!
Angler & Ale at Hawks Cay Resort in Duck Key
Look at that browned meringue. Sooo delicious! Key Lime Pie from Angler and Ale at Hawks Cay Resort in Duck Key is fantastic with a perfect balance of tart lime and sweet meringue.
Marker 88 Restaurant in Islamorada
The meringue on the Marker 88 Key Lime Pie is a mile high and sooo good! You could share this piece, but who wants to?
La Grignote Artisan French Bakery and Bistro, Key West
La Grignote is a mouthwatering artisan French eatery featuring the most delicious baked goods. Located right in the heart of Key West on Duval Street, this key lime pie is a can't-miss.
Old Town Bakery Key West
The sweet treats and freshly made breads at Old Town Bakery will have you drooling, and probably leave you with some tough choices. Our pick? The Key Lime Pie. Stop in for a cup of coffee and stay for the pie. In Key West, it's perfectly acceptable to eat it for breakfast.
Moondog Cafe Key West
Just look at that toasty meringue! Gimme! Moondog Cafe is located on Whitehead Street in Key West . Their tropical vibe and instaworthy photo opps are topped only by their delicious bakery items, including this gem - the key lime pie!
