Delightful setting - Edit
Bravo. Beyond my expectation. Incdredibly good and serving size too big for my 6' 3", 250 pound body to eat. Leftovers were great. Go there.

Update - menu changes being made including no vegan key lime cheesecake - Edit
Spring 2026 update:
Read moreThe last few times I have been to The Cafe, several menu items were not available. This followed a recent announcement that they made changes to the menu once, then changed it again. So, they seem to be still refining the menu and I would not go by the web site but instead what is available on their Toast or DoorDash order sites which are more current. I confirmed in February 2026 that they have a new pastry chef and their famous vegan key lime cheesecake is not and will no longer be available. The owner told me that they do always have vegan desserts and the rotation will include vegan carrot cake.
===============================================
The Cafe offers the most vegan options of any restaurant in Key West. I have been here about 20 times and enjoyed everything I ordered, as have non-veggie friends. Although it changed owners one year ago, the food remains as good as always. Most menu items are quite large and I am able to have the leftovers for another meal.
It would be amazing if they would take the fish and dairy products off the menu. That way they could get five star reviews and the honor of being the only vegan restaurant in Key West. (Sugar Apple is vegan but only open for breakfast and lunch and is more of a takeout place than a restaurant since there are no wait staff or tables.) If they would test this out I will go 2-3 times a week!
I highly recommend the brunch with unlimited mimosas for $15!

Always delicious - Edit
My husband and I ate here 5 times during the 4 days we stayed in Ley West. This gem of a restaurant checked all the boxes. Multiple vegan choices that were not only delicious but healthful, generous portions, friendly staff, great environment, and excellent prices. We wish we had a place like this back home. I wish I could give 5 stars. I appreciate having choices for non vegans as well. I was visiting my non vegan parents and they joined us twice and also enjoyed their meals.

Slow - expensive - clearly marked options (1/3 of the menu is vegan ☺️)

Nice Find for Vegan Options in the Area 👏 - Edit
Glad to find this spot in Key West where vegan options are pretty limited. We had sandwiches and fried rolls for dinner — everything was pretty good overall!

Cafe The - Edit
Updated 2025: Unfortunately The Cafe seems to be scaling back on their menu, including vegan items. Although we're told they can still make items upon request (based on availability) the new offering lacks mainstays available for the last decade (like the vegan pepper steak). Operating a restaurant is hard, but Happy Cow users should be aware of the changes, especially vegan users looking for a variety of breakfast options.

Previous review:
I've eaten here a few times over the last few years and I must say that this is the best, albeit semi-, vegetarian restaurant in the Keys. We've always had great food and service. I imagine the restaurant thrives off of tourists, and having fish on the menu helps bring them in. They serve beer - including from my favourite brewery: Dogfish Head. Although, I'm sure, most of the ingredients have to be trucked in from the mainland, I'm told that they do make their own seitan. Bravo!

pricey but good portions - Edit
food here is fantastic and most of it is already vegan or very easy to make vegan, the un-wing dings are to die for, and the portion sizes are hefty. that being said this place can be $100 for two people if you get an appetizer and a meal which is quite a lot, there's always enough for leftovers though

Best vegan food in Key West - Edit
The vegan options are plentiful and good. I usually get the Kung Pao Tofu. You have to try the key lime cheesecake if they have it. They often run out, so snag it when you can! I actually wasn't able to get any the last two times I went, which was a bummer.

I ordered the vegan Italian meatball sub and it was delicious. My friends got udon noodles and soba noodles. We also came back later to get their delicious vegan cake options. I got the chocolate cake and my friends got the carrot cake, the key lime cheesecake, and the vegan pudding. It was overall very good and there was great service

Delicious breakfast - Edit
While visiting Key West, I treated myself to a relaxing solo breakfast. This was exactly what I needed! The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxing, the service was attentive without hovering, and the food was AMAZING! I had the tofu scramble with breakfast potatoes; everything was cooked to perfection. I took a slice of coconut cake & carrot cake to enjoy later with my non-vegan hubby. Both flavors of cake were moist and flavorful.

Amazing food, great atmosphere! - Edit
I’m a vegetarian and came here with non-vegetarian family. We all loved all of the food we got, including the pepper’steak’ and swiss, the grande burrito, and the udon noodles with tofu. Portions were large, and left us full but not in an unpleasant way. So many vegan and vegetarian options to choose from. Overall, highly recommend!! Will definitely be coming back.
