Crema's Take
“Nestled in Key West, this family-run gem specializes in creative signature drinks like an iced mocha crowned with whipped cream and a chocolate mermaid tail, paired with fresh-baked pastries that locals rave about—especially the pistachio croissant. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and genuine hospitality make it the perfect spot to slow down over coffee, whether you're a longtime conch or just visiting the island. With fair prices, daily-made pastries, and a menu that balances traditional espresso drinks with imaginative seasonal creations, it's become the kind of authentic find that keeps people coming back.”

The pistachio croissant was AMAZING! Don’t miss the chance to try them out! Their coffee is delicious and their menu was pretty great. We ordered a couple of different things and guys, what a find❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you’re in Key West, you must visit the newly opened 123 Rico Pastel—an authentic, family-run treasure. The moment I approached the window, I was warmly greeted by the woman at the front. As a conch who’s lived here all my life, I enjoyed a delightful conversation about their new business and a peek behind the scenes. Key West has many Cuban coffee spots, but this is no ordinary window—this is a true, authentic Cuban bakery. The Cuban coffee is one of the smoothest I’ve ever tasted, and the sandwiches and lunch specials not only look beautiful but deliver the authentic taste of Cuba in every bite. Even so, what truly sets them apart is their unmatched variety of handmade pastries—crafted with love, from exquisite éclairs to stunning cakes. They bring the sweetest parts of Cuba right here to Key West. A must-visit gem!
I tried the iced mocha and it was topped with beautiful whipped cream and a chocolate mermaid tail & chocolate drizzle. It was delicious and not too sweet! I also tried the pistachio croissant and by far 10/10 recommend. The flavor is amazing and the presentation is beautiful. My boys true their ecclairs which were delicious! 100000/10 recommend this place! Staff was super friendly!
Very friendly people, great food and pastries made fresh daily. Wide variety of food and smoothies!
Everything we ordered was super fresh, delicious and for such a fair price too! We loved the mango milkshake and vanilla cappuccino, would definitely order again! The pastries were some of the best desserts my husband and I have ever had in Key West. (The guava and cheese pastry was a MUST have!) They serve breakfast, lunch, and all kinds of desserts! We will definitely come back.
