Kermit's Key Lime Shoppe

[wrigley80]

When you stop in Key West be sure to stop by and visit Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe

[scarlett81]

I agree. We have a home in KW, and Kermit's is the only key lime pie I'll eat. The rest is junk.

[sdouglas]

Kermit's is a must for everyone visiting KW.

 

I carry, on average, 2-3 bags of "goodies" back to the ship, not to mention what I consume walking back :D:D:D:D. And if I get into withdrawls, I order online.

I bought the Key Lime Pie juice when I was there and I have made 3 pies since being home. They are delicious :p

Uh oh, now I'm having trouble deciding between the Conch Shack (http://www.myconchshack.com/) and the Clam Shack! :eek:

 

Thinking DH would like the Clam Shack- he loves New England Clam Chowder, and there are a couple more options on the menu the he would enjoy there.

 

BTW Peter...we live in Plainsboro. Small world!

I checked his website and its very expensive to get some of the Choc Covered ones delivered. At those prices, I midas well fly there and get some....:D

Not being a huge key lime pie fan, I thought Kermit's pie was just ok.

 

However, the frozen chocolate covered key lime pie was heaven. I don't think I'll ever have something quite like that again. (or at least until our next trip to Key West).

[golfer1966]

We have been to KW a few times and we make sure we get one or two before we head back to the ship. There are a bunch of places that has them...why not test them all... :p

Is Kermit's Key Lime Shoppe easy to get to from the port? How far of a walk will it be? We cruise in 118 days, and I can hardly wait!

 

Thanks!

Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe is about a mile or so from the port. It would be quite a walk. We had an electric car during our time in Key West. Kermit's is down by the harbor

Actually Kermit's is an easy walk from the Westin pier where you will dock.

 

Just proceed one block up Whitehead St. turn left and then go five blocks on Greene and it will be on your right.

It is the best ...

Oh yes it is. When we returned from vacation I e-mailed Kermit a picture of him and I together in front of the shop and he was so sweet to e-mail me back.

Such a great stop in Key West

Kermit Carpenter is a super nice guy and that doesn't surprise me at all.

I was so surprised by that I heard back from him. I made a Key Lime Pie that night and tried to dream that I was back in Key West but It wasn't quite the same :rolleyes:

Goes to show how different taste buds are. IMHO Blue Heaven blows Kermit's away in all areas.

Garbo's Grill (food truck) parked just down Greene from Kermit's is the place to go for lunch! Best food I've had in Key West! They are ranked the number one restaurant in Key West. Not a restaurant, though. Get the Fish burrito and eat and explore. Hit Kermit's get a chocolate covered key lime on a stick and head back to the ship. Divine!

 

HTH!

Do you know that there is no such thing as a Key Lime on Key West and hasn't been for many decades?

That is true as far as commercial farming but there are many key lime trees around.
