Sandy’s Cafe

David Dlugitch — Sat, 22 Nov 2014 18:41:38 +0000

Coffee and Cuban sandwich shop popular with locals looking for an affordable to-go meal

If you are looking for a low cost to-go meal, Sandy’s Cafe is a convenient carry-out cafe popular with locals in Key West.

With its iconic red and white striped awnings, walk-up window service on White Street, and long line of working locals waiting for the inexpensive and satisfying sandwiches and coffee, Sandy’s Cafe is, one could say, a Key West institution. Each morning Sandy’s serves a steady stream of cops, city workers, tradesmen, and service industry folks – a testament to its consistency, affordability, and hearty servings.

Attached to M&M laundromat (for a long time, this cafe was known as M&M’s) and decidedly humble, the cooks at Sandy’s quickly prepare Cuban pressed sandwiches served on fresh Cuban bread and toasted in a panini press. Favorites include the breakfast sandwiches and the Cuban Mix – the unofficial sandwich of Key West and packed with sliced ham, pork, Swiss cheese, and pickles.

Cuban coffee is served. Strong espresso can be ordered in numerous sizes: the tiny and economical “bucci” is a bit bigger than a thimble’s worth, a “colada” is four-times as much. Most popular is “cafe con leche,” the Cuban version of the Italian latte: espresso with steamed milk.

Sandy’s stays open late-night and is a popular place for an after-Duval Street snack. You’re sure to meet a local.

Location: 1026 White Street

Hours: Sunday-Thursday 5am – 12am/midnight Friday, Saturday open 24 hours

5 Brothers Grocery & Sandwich Shop

David Dlugitch — Wed, 08 May 2013 15:39:16 +0000

Pressed sandwiches on Cuban bread and strong Cuban coffee at this local’s favorite.

A true locals’ favorite for breakfast and lunch, 5 Brothers is an Old Town institution.

5 Brothers Grocery and Sandwich shop is located on a corner in Old Town Key West. There you will find a tiny store packed with products – many of which are used in the preparation of their homemade food. This is a friendly place where city workers, police, tradesmen, and Old Town residents mingle, grab a newspaper, and enjoy some of the most satisfying sandwiches.

Each morning the local crowd pours in for the best Cuban coffee and breakfast sandwiches. The cafe con leche (Cuban espresso with steamed milk) is strong and flavorful. Enjoy it with a Cuban cheese toast or other breakfast sandwich and you’ll know why it seems that all of Old Town frequents this little shop.

If it is busy, and usually it is, a coffee line forms on the left side. If you don’t want coffee, head over to the cash register and place your order. 5 Brothers serves one of the best Cuban Mixes on the island – a sandwich with ham, pork, swiss, lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo served on Cuban bread and pressed & toasted on a hot press machine.

Location: 930 Southard Street

Hours: Open Monday to Saturday
