Cuban Coffee Queen (Duval)
1130 Duval St, Key West, FL
Crema's Take
“This Duval Street location captures the vibrant heart of Key West's Cuban coffee culture, though regulars note the other locations in town have a slight edge. The shop doubles as a retail space with clothing and souvenirs, which gives it a bustling tourist-friendly atmosphere that can get crowded during peak hours—best visited during quieter afternoon slots if you want to linger. Their café con leche and Cuban mix are solid interpretations of the classics, paired with fresh pan dulce, though service can be inconsistent and wait times occasionally stretch longer than expected for grab-and-go orders.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
