Hours: Daily 08:00-14:30, 17:00-22:00

Blue Heaven's breakfast is Key West's most famous morning: pancakes and benedicts under the Bahama Village canopy while chickens work the courtyard.

Tip: The courtyard closes for a holiday each September and reopens in October, so check ahead if you visit in hurricane season.

Moondog Cafe & Bakery ★ 4.7

Hours: Daily 07:30-22:00

La Grignote ★ 4.5

duval-street · 1211 Duval St, Key West, FL 33040

Hours: Daily 07:00-15:00

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.

Tip: The kitchen closes at 15:00 and the pastry case sells down by late morning, so treat it as a breakfast stop.

historic-seaport · 832 Caroline Street, Key West, FL 33040

Hours: Daily 06:30-21:00

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.

Pepe's Cafe ★ 4.4

historic-seaport · 806 Caroline Street, Key West, FL 33040

Hours: Daily 07:30-21:30

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.
