Key West Bistro
2803 E 38th St, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Key West Bistro brings authentic Cuban soul to Minneapolis with a passionate owner who's mastered both espresso and traditional café con leche, creating a vibrant little hub where excellent pour-overs meet genuine Cubano sandwiches and vegan chai. The space pulses with funky Miami club energy and genuine hospitality that makes you feel like you've stumbled into someone's beloved neighborhood gathering spot, even if you won't want to camp out for hours without outlets. This is the real deal—a place where 12-year residents finally found the authentic Cuban coffee experience they'd been missing.”

Tasty, good portioned sandwiches. 1/2 sandwiches pictured. Smoothie was also good.
Great service, delicious food & a hilarious bathroom sign! My friend ordered the cafe leche and I ordered the "sweetest drink you have" and both were delicious! The Cubano sandwich was perfect 👌
Always a lovely experience. They have amazing vegan chai and the owner is amazing with coffee, he has the ultimate pour-over set up! This place is a hub of community, small but mighty and they also have house made vegan chili! You are also able to bring your own mug.
Fun little coffee place, tough to work from for long though as no outlets but that's not a bad thing, funky Miami club music going on too, awesome. Dan was super friendly with some stories and recommendations. The Cuban coffee and the Key Lime pie were very authentic. 7.5 / 10
Let’s just say this is a must spot in the Minneapolis area. I’m Cuban 🇨🇺 and finally after living here for 12 years I finally found a true Cuban food spot! Sorry but “Victor’s 1959 Cafe” is not it! The Cuban sandwich is perfect! It is a 10 out 10 but don’t show my mom this review because I would be in some big trouble. The flavor of the meat is unbelievable just like we make it at home. The bread was toasted just right. Holy and the Colada was on point just like they serve in Miami. No one and I mean no has been able to get it right here in the Minneapolis and he did! Wow!!! I’ll be back soon! Thank you! 🇨🇺
