Low key place to get quality food. Sandwiches served with plantain chips. Made a great lunch bite away from crowds!

Lovely place for breakfast! Me and my family ate eggs, pancakes, bacon and bread for a really reasonable price. The coffee was really good as well! The two people who ran it were really friendly and were happy to talk to us about Key West after we ate. It is also in a beautiful courtyard with seats both outside and inside.

We love Lucy’s!!!!!! Best coffee in Key West and very friendly staff. My boyfriend and I went twice a day the entire week of our stay for both hot and iced coffee. Fresh, smooth, perfect cup every time. I also tried the pork tacos; they were delicious and very well priced for the portion. Lucy’s will be our first stop when we visit again in November!

Lucy's Cafe is hidden in a courtyard near Mallory Square, but it's worth the exploration to eat here. Our breakfast was delicious. We started with some iced coffee with milk, perfectly made. Then I had eggs with bacon, Cuban bread, and refried beans with cheese. My wife had a breakfast burrito with perfect portions of egg, bacon, and cheese. Lucy brought me some homemade red sauce to try and said "it's very spicy"... but for me it was a perfect amount of heat with a whole heck of a lot of flavor. Every bite of food I took had some of that sauce on it! My wife loved her burrito. She doesn't like it when places overload the burrito with mostly eggs. Instead, it was equal portions of bacon and egg with just the right amount of cheese. The prices were great and the service was top notch. There is a little space inside to sit if you want to get out of the heat. Please give Lucy's a try, you will be very glad you did.

Best lobster roll in town! We tried a few lobster rolls while in Key West, and this was by far the best. It is the most similar to a Maine lobster roll. If you are familiar with Luke’s Lobster in Portland, Maine (voted best lobster roll in Portland), this is very comparable to that and in competition. Highly recommend.
