Crema's Take

“Mattheessen's is a beloved Key West institution where massive, hand-crafted cookies steal the show—their peanut butter and chocolate chip varieties are legendary enough to have visitors regretting they didn't buy more. Beyond the cookies, you'll find their homemade key lime pie with a thick graham cracker crust and house-made macaroons that are worth the detour, all served by staff who genuinely make you feel welcome whether you're grabbing a quick sweet treat or settling in for a slower indulgence. It's the kind of family-friendly spot where the quality of the pastries and candies keeps people coming back, and where first-time visitors often leave wishing they'd discovered it sooner.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

I’m usually not one to rave about cookies but omg. They were to die for. Their peanut butter cookie was phenomenal. We also enjoyed their chocolate chip nut & sprinkle cookies. Theyre huge and so flavorful. Highly recommend trying one!!!

I stumbled upon this little gem. Loved the key lime pie but the macaroons were on point. I only bought one and didn’t try it until I was back on the cruise ship. Then immediately wished I would’ve bought 12 more. Looking to order more for my birthday in February.

Mattheessen’s has their own spin on Key West key lime pie, with a fairly thick hand made graham cracker crust, and whipped cream by request. I like a thicker crust, so I enjoyed the flavor fusion of crunch with the creamy smooth tart lime flavor. This place is made for…
