Lucy's Cafe
119 Fitzpatrick St, Key West, FL
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Key West's quieter corners, this intimate mom-and-pop café delivers authentic Cuban coffee culture alongside fresh, unpretentious food—think perfectly balanced cortaditos and house-made iced tea that rivals the coffee itself. The unhurried atmosphere and thoughtful touches (like honoring requests for less sweetness) make it feel like a genuine escape from the island's tourist bustle, where locals and visitors alike linger over strong, flavorful drinks and surprisingly excellent seafood. It's the kind of place where a simple Cuban coffee becomes memorable, and the whole experience feels genuinely relaxed rather than rushed.”

Didn’t expect much from an iced tea but it was soooo good! They make it in house and I asked for less sweet. It was so fresh. Great alternative for this who don’t drink coffee. The mint gave it a taste of Moroccan tea
Quietly, just our of the way. Fish sandwich was delicious and filling. Cuban coffee, strong and tasty. Good service.
Visit the Kino Plaza for a pick me up at Lucy’s. Ask for a cortadito cuban coffee with sugar and a splash of foamy milk. Go buy a pair of Kino Key West made flip flops.
Lucy’s Café is a very small, quaint spot tucked away from the crowded streets of Key West, just far enough to feel calm and unhurried. The lobster roll was excellent, fresh, simple, and done right. The coffee was strong and memorable, better than expected. A great place to step off the busy path and enjoy a solid meal without the noise.
Small Cuban influenced mom & pop style cafe, where you can escape the commercialism of many larger places. From several breakfast plate options to lobster rolls, Lucy's has something likely to tickle your fancy.
