Cuban Coffee Queen Downtown (Southard and Duval)

Great coffee and quick service with many options for food and drinks. Their roastery is just next door so you can be sure about the quality, freshness and taste. Few tables for sitting in the shade while watching some roosters walking around.

Review is based on a café con leche and bucci (Cuban espresso shot). It’s hard to give a 5 when the espresso was served in a plastic shot cup. Another note, cafe con leche is served to drink immediately in all latin countries to include Other local Cuban spots in Key West. To be enjoyed immediately. I had to wait way too long for it to be pleasant. The taste was delicious when the right temperature was established. Maybe consider an investment in espresso shot glasses and temperature control on the cafe con leche.

Looking for your morning coffee after a late night in Key West? Cuban Coffee Queen is the place to go! The best coffee around and many options available.
And since it was only a block from the house, we had fantastic breakfasts here, too. The breakfast burrito with beans and rice is my recommendation. Also the tuna melt is truly excellent. Enjoy!

We visited Cuban Coffee Queen twice today and will be back tomorrow to try more of their menu. Today everything we tried was excellent from the awesome hot delicious Cuban cafe con leche and the raspberry pastry was amazing.
We returned and tried the iced Expresso which had Expresso ice cubes to prevent the drink from getting watered down. Tomorrow we will try the breakfast menu along with Expresso again! All the employees we interacted with were helpful, nice, and went out of their way to service us. Make sure to get your punch card to earn your free coffee after enough purchases.
I recommend trying Cuban Coffee Queen over the other locals and big chain stores.

We loved coming here! The coffee was amazing. All of the seating is outdoor but covered.

The coffee is fantastic and fresh. There is a great selection of breakfast and lunch food. Service is excellent. This place is great whether you just want a cup of coffee or a quick meal.

Only had a cold brew and the pina colada smoothie and both were awesome! Fun outdoor area, a shop next door that is grinding the coffee. Definitely want to come back and try the food but definitely recommend coming!

This was our first time at the Cuban Coffee Queen. Order a large Cafe Con Leche and a Cuban American. Coffee was fresh as the beans were just ground up. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich, the Key Wester with the chorizo. Was enough for 2 to split. We ended up going back 2 days later and then ordered the same Coffee but had the Main Lander. Food is made fresh and hot, well worth the short 10 minute wait time. Will go back again next time we are in Key West.

Really enjoyed the food. We ordered it for delivery before the beach. The bread is incredible and we were shocked how strong/tasteful the coffee was. Two thumbs up!

Staff is always super rude. They are ALWAYS out of rice and beans so instead they throw a small lollipop in with zero communication. How is a Cuban place out of rice and beans all the time? And why would I want a lollipop instead of a side? If you don’t have the full order, discount the meal in my opinion. What’s also interesting is the rice and beans are available if you order them as a side. It’s just frustrating that it’s literally more often than not I get a lollipop that goes straight in the trash because they don’t want to give the full advertised order.
