Crema's Take

This beloved Key West institution earns its confident name with a stellar cafe con leche and espresso-focused menu that keeps locals coming back daily, paired with fresh-baked pastries and surprisingly affordable prices. The vibe balances quick walk-up efficiency with a welcoming slow-sit atmosphere, making it equally perfect for grabbing your morning coffee or settling in with a sandwich and specialty drink. Fair warning: it gets busy, but the genuinely kind staff and menu offerings beyond coffee make the wait worthwhile.

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries on the menu.

As a local, this is one of my favorite coffee shops. It’s close by, has a wonderful cafe con leche, and very reasonable prices. Plus their fresh baked items are a great way to start the day. Highly recommend supporting local and coming here!

When they claim that they are the best coffee in town we had to try it AND they are right!! You MUST try this spot. Everything is good on the menu and the employees are so kind! It can get busy at times but it makes sense because it’s the BEST! We will be back!

This place opens at four in the morning. If you have an early morning this is a great place to start the day. The sandwiches are really good and the coffee is hot, really hot. Give yourself some time to let it cool or you will scald your mouth.
