Brunch is one of my very favorite meals. It’s breakfast … it’s lunch… it’s all that I love. Best part? It’s not too early or too late. So if you are a late riser or want to go for an early morning walk brunch is the best part of the day. But, if you are in Key West, where do you go? Here’s our list of the best places for brunch in Key West.
Blue Heaven
Of course, every food list in Key West includes Blue Heaven. It’s iconic Key West located right in the heart of Old Town. The open courtyard, the roosters, and perhaps the best key lime pie on the island. Breakfast is served until 2pm . One of my favorites from here is the Key West Shrimp eggs benedict. There is a Sunday brunch menu too. During September to mid October the restaurant does close so if you will be in town during that time, double check to see if they are open. (729 Thomas Street)
Bagatelle
I found this place while on a food tour (check them out here). The lobster mac and cheese is amazing and it’s on the brunch menu. Brunch is served 9am to 4pm. The brunch menu includes libations, corned beef hash, and bagels with cream cheese. The bagels are made locally. Plan to sit on the outside porch and watch the people on Duval Street. (115 Duval St)
Goldman’s Bagel Deli
2796 N Roosevelt Blvd
This New Town legend serves New York deli realness with a side of Keys charm. You want cheddar cheese egg sandwiches? Done. Cinnamon rolls the size of your face? Absolutely. Feeling feisty? Get a lox bagel and add extra capers. No judgment here.
Their beef hash is solid, and everything is made fresh and fast. It’s not fancy—but it is fabulous.
Open daily until 3pm.
Pepe’s
806 Caroline Street
Since 1909, Pepe’s has been doing brunch right. They’re the oldest restaurant in Key West (and still kicking with strong coffee and stronger vibes).
Grab a seat under the trees, order the homemade bread of the day, and don’t forget to smother your eggs in one of their house hot sauces. If you’re into bottomless coffee and hearty Key West style portions, this place will win you over.
Breakfast 7:30am–Noon.
Hot Tin Roof
0 Duval Street
Fancy a mimosa with marina views? Say hello to Hot Tin Roof, where the Caribbean French toast is as extra as the view. Located inside Ocean Key Resort, it’s a step up in dress code—think sundresses and polos, not board shorts and flip-flops.
Their Sunday brunch features upscale island flavors like citrus beurre blanc, caribbean shrimp, and yes—your chance to feel fabulous while sipping bottomless mimosas on the Duval Street waterfront.
Sunday Brunch: 11:45am–12:45pm. Reservations highly recommended.
Moondog Cafe
823 Whitehead Street
Right across from the Hemingway House (hello, six-toed cats), this funky little spot smells like baked heaven the second you walk in. The bakery case alone will whisper “just one pastry…” until you cave. Trust me.
Moondog serves up omelets, breakfast burritos, and breakfast tacos with style. The inside is artsy-cool, but the outdoor seating under the palms is peak Key West style.
Brunch runs daily, and yes—they also serve dinner if you end up lingering.
Breakfast Club, Too
610 Greene Street
If brunch were a party, this would be the DJ booth. Breakfast Club, Too is all-in on brunch all day: smoothie bowls, cheddar biscuits, and a Bloody Mary menu that deserves its own show on Bravo.
It’s cozy and casual, but don’t be surprised if there’s a line—it’s that good. Plus, the vibe is super friendly (like, “new besties over biscuits” friendly).
Open daily until 2pm. Closed Wednesdays.
Azure
425 Grinnell Street
If you’re looking for good food in a quiet, chill atmosphere, Azure is your brunch zen. Tucked just off Duval, this spot is beloved by locals for frittatas, eggs benedict, and fresh fruit sides that aren’t just afterthoughts.
Sit on the porch, sip your coffee, and pretend you live here. Bonus: Their dinner menu is just as dreamy.
Brunch from 9am–3pm.
Matt’s Stock Island Kitchen & Bar
Perry Hotel, Stock Island
This one’s a little off the beaten path—and totally worth the detour. Matt’s is known for American coastal comfort food, marina views, and dishes like banana bread pancakes, breakfast croissants, and buttery small plates that’ll make you forget you’re technically not on Duval.
The harbor here is peaceful, the vibe is luxe-but-laid-back, and brunch tastes even better when you’ve earned it by adventuring a bit.
Weekend brunch available—check their site for times.
The Cafe
509 Southard Street
Vegetarians, rejoice! The Café is your colorful, veggie-forward escape with Pancha’s Huevos Rancheros, cast iron shakshuka, Caprese egg sandwiches, and bottomless mimosas on weekends.
The coffee? Strong enough to wake the roosters. The décor? Bright and eclectic. The crowd? Chill AF.
Weekend brunch: Saturday & Sunday, 9am–4pm.
Bistro 245
245 Front Street (Opal Key Resort)
Imagine Caribbean French toast in one hand, a mimosa in the other, and the view of Mallory Square waking up around you. That’s brunch at Bistro 245, located inside the Opal Key Resort.
They do breakfast daily, and while the brunch menu leans lighter—wraps, fruit plates, morning mules—it’s all about the perfect setting. Plus, you might just see a cruise ship pulling in while you sip your bubbles. That’s Key West magic.
Breakfast served until 11am.
Argo Navis
Departs from the Historic Seaport
Ready for bucket list brunch? Hop aboard the Argo Navis, a 75-foot luxury catamaran, and sail the sea while enjoying a full brunch spread and—you guessed it—bottomless bubbly.
It’s a two-hour hour sail filled with harbor views, gourmet eats, and major “I’m living my best life” energy. Available seasonally from May to November, so book ahead!

Ana’s Cafe
1330 Simonton Street
Tucked away on the quiet end of the island, Ana’s is a local favorite for a peaceful start to the day. Whether you need a strong coffee, a breakfast sandwich, or just a spot to fire up your laptop, this place delivers.
The menu board is super clear (love that), and the outdoor seating makes it feel like a mini tropical escape.
Open daily. Perfect for digital nomads and solo sippers.
