Great food

They advertise this restaurant as "almost vegetarian," and we weren't sure if we wanted to eat there. We looked at their menu in the window and saw things like pepper steak and chicken. We went inside and asked about it. The staff person said that these were meat analogs. The "almost" is because there are two or three fish dishes on the menu.

I had the pesto pizza (the cheese had no animal rennet) and my husbamd had the BBQ tofu plate. Both were delicious, and portions were so large that we brought some back to our rental cottage to heat up for lunch the next day.

Service was good, and the restaurant location is right in the heart of all the Key West action.

Pros: great food, no smoking, big portions

Cons: not 100% veggie

I love this place

I can't believe I haven't written a review for The Cafe yet! Living in Key West isn't so easy for a vegan, but The Cafe makes it all ok. My friends and family are probably sick of going there every time we go out, but I love it so much! The good thing is that they do have a fish dish or two and some non-vegan items, so no one is totally thrown off. I usually get a stirfry, the brown sugar baked acorn squash, or one of the awesome salads. I haven't had the falafel in ages because I remember it not being very good the first time I had it, so I tend to steer clear. If anyone tries it and it has improved, please let me know!

Pros: Awesome waitstaff, Delicious food, Lots of variety

Cons: Noisy when busy, Don't have crayons for drawing anymore:(

Excellent!

The Cafe is one of the few places in Key West that truly caters to vegetarians. They even have a lot of vegan options. Their veggie burger is vegan out really, really good!

Pros: Good vegan selection

Cons: In the Keys - they run out of stuff!

The Cafe, Key West

I was taken to this place by my friend who I was visiting and enjoyed it so much I wanted to go back the next day. Great tasting food, superb portions, great atmo, plenty of vegan choice. A shame it isn't 100% vegetarian (most of the menu is). Good opening hours also. If it was 100% vegetarian I'd have given 5 out of 5.

Pros: Tasty food / big portions, Plenty vegan choices, Nice staff / atmo

Cons: Not 100% vegetarian
