In search of great key lime pie

We are in search of the best key lime pie in the Florida Keys. Here are a few places we're thinking of trying...


Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe

200A Elizabeth Street
Key West, FL 33040
(305) 296-0806
www.keylimeshop.com
It’s almost a reason in itself to travel from Miami to the Keys. Kermit’s Key Lime pies have been praised on nationally broadcast TVfood shows, and there’s a reason. This is a truly traditional pie, with a rich graham cracker crust, smooth, tart filling, and dotted with whipped cream. The filling will make your lips pucker about, but that’s the best part of a great Key Lime pie. If you like the lime, this shop is for you. You can find jelly, marinades, honey, and even wing sauce made with the juice of the Key lime. You could create a whole Key lime-themed meal with what you find here. You can even order online!

Pepe's Cafe & Steak House

806 Caroline Street  Key West, FL 33040

(305) 294-7192

"Pepe's Cafe and Steak House, a ramshackle restaurant that dates all the way back to 1909 (and bills itself as "a fairly good place for quite a long while"), the artwork was funky and Tabasco-sauce bottles served as toothpick holders. The Key lime pie was outstanding, with a cinnamon-accented graham-cracker crust and a plentiful topping of whipped cream, and arrived in a bowl, as if masquerading as a pudding."

The Pier House

1 Duval Street  Key West, FL 33040

(305) 296-4600
www.pierhouse.com
"... the elegant Pier House, where you can sit outside at night and watch the passing boats. Appropriately, it was a work of art, served on a plate decorated with raspberry and mango sauces and a chocolate-covered strawberry. I followed it with a Key lime martini, the perfect nightcap."

Alice's

1114 Duval Street, Key West

"one with a chocolate-lined graham-cracker crust and a curd-like filling"
