Moondog Cafe serves Key West's Bib Gourmand brunch on a Whitehead Street patio, breakfast tacos and quiche lorraine across from the Hemingway House.
Order: Breakfast tacos, then key lime pie with charred meringue
Tip: It sits across from the Hemingway House queue, and half the bakery case is vegan; the patio suits a long breakfast.

La Grignote plates Key West's French brunch on upper Duval: benedicts, Belgian waffles and croque madames from a scratch bakery open 07:00 to 15:00.
Order: Croque madame with an almond croissant to finish
Tip: The kitchen closes at 15:00 and the pastry case sells down by late morning, so treat it as a breakfast stop.
Banana Cafe griddles sweet and savoury crepes at the quiet end of Duval Street, Key West's French breakfast porch from 07:30 through dinner service.
Order: The strawberry cheesecake crepe with a mimosa
Tip: Upper Duval stays quieter than the bar blocks; the porch tables catch the morning shade before the day heats up.
Two Friends starts breakfast at 08:00 with live music already playing, the Key West patio where Bloody Marys arrive before the eggs on Front Street.
Order: A Bloody Mary with the breakfast platter
Tip: Karaoke runs Friday and Saturday from 20:00; mornings are calmer if you want the breakfast and Bloody Mary combination.
Harpoon Harry's opens at 06:30 for Key West's diner breakfast, key lime French toast and lobster benedicts served on Caroline Street kitsch.
Order: Key lime French toast with the home fries
Tip: It is cash only with bike racks out front; the nightly blue plate special is the best value dinner near the seaport.
Pepe's Cafe has served breakfast in Key West since 1909, squeezing juice and baking its own bread daily in the eating house it calls the Keys' oldest.
Order: Fresh-squeezed juice, house-baked bread and eggs
Tip: Breakfast runs 07:30 to noon; the operator dates itself to 1909 and calls itself the Keys' oldest eating house.
