Must order: Black bean fritters with avocado sauce

Address: 7001 Shrimp Road, Key West, FL 33040
Schooner Wharf serves breakfast from 08:00 at weekends on Key West's harbour walk, eggs and coffee at the shrimp-dock rail before the music starts.
Order: Dockside eggs with a pina colada chaser
Tip: Breakfast starts at 08:00 Friday to Sunday and 08:30 Monday to Thursday; the bar calls itself a last little piece of old Key West.
Blue Heaven's breakfast is Key West's most famous morning: pancakes and benedicts under the Bahama Village canopy while chickens work the courtyard.
Order: Richard's Very Good Pancakes straight off the griddle
Tip: The courtyard closes for a holiday each September and reopens in October, so check ahead if you visit in hurricane season.
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.
