Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe

I gave 3 stars for the liveliness of the place, the girls that were there nice enough and had lots of tasties to dive into before dinner which helped with not having to get appetizers but actually didn’t like the pie. I’m a bit of a key lime pie snob so found it too tart. Would purchase some of their key lime pie peanuts next time though.

I used to hate key lime pie till I actually visited the keys. Of all the key lime pies I ate at Key West, Kertmits definitely had my favorite pie! I loved the traditional version, and the daily special blueberry was hella good too.
Aside from pies, this place had key lime everything. They had key lime chocolate chip cookies, sauces, key lime flavored honey, kl flavored candies etc. And I loved that they had samples in front of the actual things. I bought like 3 of the Key Lime covered cookies as gifts… They were so soft and each bite was filled with amazing flavors that just made your hands go into the box and towards your mouth… Just try it!

Key lime pie is excellent! Tried the cookies and bought some, tried the honey, bought some, tried the sauce and bought some. Fortunately I didn’t try anything else or else I’d be going home with that as well.

We tried many Key Lime pies while in the Keys. We also did a Key Lime pie crawl. Kermit’s was our least favorite! Blonde Giraffe was our favorite!
We did a Key Lime pie judging contest in Key West which turned out to be fake and all set up who the winner would be.
We were told ahead of time and afterwards as well by local business owners who the winner would be «allegedly».
The contest was inside with no air conditioning and it was at least 98 degrees. The real fee temperature was 106 or something similar.
The contest was set up we didn’t get the 5 slices we were promised but a spoonful only. It was unprofessional and disorganized. There was also no way to remember which pie we liked best to vote on it.
It was the biggest disappointment of our trip and it happened to be on our anniversary.
We had a good time in Key West anyway but the contest was uncomfortable and a waste of time and money. Not one person in line did not complain. I am not a complainer in general but they need to do away with this fake contest. It is a waste of time and money on vacation and most people do not have time to throw away like that.
We tried a few locations of Kermit’s Key Lime pie which is said to be the «best» but the pies are shipped in from the mainland in Florida. They are not made on site and we got a picture of the delivery of pies. Kermit’s pies taste like an essence of Lime not full flavor. Not even sure if it was true key Lime.
I was quite disappointed. You can call it the «best» but my taste buds do not lie!
We were told by local business owners that no locals eat Kermit’s that it is a concerted effort to get the cruise ships to stop in to say they have had Key Lime pie.
Kermit’s always gets voted best as a marketing scheme. People keep reviewing them as best and they have not tried many and just seem to go along with the crowd. Kermit was the inventor of Key Lime Pie on a stick and used to be better we were told.
So our favorite (me and my hubby who have different tastes) both agree the best was the Blonde Giraffe.
In addition several business owners (some who own restaurants some who own souvenir stores) agree The Blonde Giraffe is the best Some say they like Fogarty’s some like Blue Heaven. But none of the locals like Kermit’s.
We also had a good Key Lime Pie at Fogarty’s in Key West.
Many people like Blue Heaven as well. I am sure it is good. But I do not like meringue. So when I say best I mean best quality as well as suits my taste.
My suggestion is to try as many as possible. I cant find the pictures of hte pie or «lime aid» we had.

Amazing and authentic key lime pie — perfectly classic with no twists or variations. Just the right amount of tart to sweet. If you’re looking for the epitome of key lime pie… look no more… this is it!

Went to have the famous KeyLime Pie and it was worth the walk from the shop terminal.

Cute shop that is actually open until 10pm, not 9pm. I went for the ice cream — Key Lime Obviously — very delicious! Samples out of their cookies & candies throughout the store, lots of little «Lime» treats & gifts, even have Key Lime dog cookies. Definitely a stop while you’re out strolling the streets of Key West!

After trying 3 other key lime pies in my trip to Key west I decided to give a try to the «chocolate covered» version of pie that comes in a stick.
When they took it out of a refrigerator I was not so convinced about how good that was going to be… I expected it would be maybe hard as it said frozen… but no! Under the first layer of hard milk chocolate the pie was incredibly soft and fresh. The consistency of the pie was quite dense and «cheesecakey» compared to other places. I was amazed by how well the tartness of the pie combined with the sweetness of the chocolate! It finished too soon and I wanted more…

If you like key lime pie, you can definitely get your fix here! Like many reviewers, I agree that the chocolate key lime pie Popsicle was good. I wish that it had been colder but it still hit the spot. It’s very, very rich so my family ended up sharing on slice but my family is also more on the health conscience side. I was content after two bites.
I think if I were to re-​order I would just to the slice of pie without the chocolate because it didn’t add too much to the flavor of the pie. I just enjoyed the inside but it was convenient to carry and snack on while walking since it was on a stick.
There are also loads of products floor to ceiling throughout the store so, if you are a fan, stop by!

How can you not have a piece of key lime pie when you come to Key West?
I would try the two obvious choices: Kermit’s and the Key Lime Pie Factory. Both are very good. Both are worth eating. Since everyone cares about whose is better, I like Kermit’s better. I was curious if there would be a difference and I found Kermit’s to be a bit lighter in texture which allowed the tartness of the Key Lime to stand out a bit better.

I feel like a kid in candy shop.
I love key lime pie. This is key lime pie heaven. Everything is key lime pie flavored!
Key lime pie cookies, key lime pie chocolate, key lime pie salsa, key lime pie candy… best of all, they have samples for everything. Wanna smell like key lime pie? Buy the soap. Want your salad to taste like key lime pie? Get the dressing.
Of course, you have to have a slice of key lime pie here, which I did, and it was so good. I wish I could have bought the whole cake, and then secretly devour the whole thing in my hotel.
I heard there is another Kermit’s store that is bigger, but I was too lazy to walk there. This store is conveniently located near all the bars and stores.
You won’t regret eating the key lime pie here, every single calorie and fat is worth it!

Proportionally was the pie worth $ 4.50? Doubtfully so, but I coughed up the cash anyway because my friend and I were recommended by locals that it was the ‘go-​to’ for key lime pie in Key West.
I will say it was good and tasty — surprisingly very light, but still a bit steep for what you get and quality didn’t equal value of the pie.
They sell souvenirs, knick knacks and other goods if you don’t want to get pie. They offer smoothies, salsas, and even salt water taffy.
It’s a small place, so be aware that you’re getting your pie to go and not sitting and dining in.

Gster and I were on the hunt for the best KLP in KW. Given KW is known for their KLP, this seemed to be a hard task to beat. After looking at reviews online, hearing from the locals, and trying it for ourselves, it is confirmed that Kermits has the #1 tasting key lime pie in key west. While others may have beat it for aesthetics, the poignant taste, bold flavors, crunchy crust, smooth and creamy texture, and tart aftertaste, all confirm the #1 place. Congrats Kermits!

Now THAT, my friends, is a proper key lime pie! Typically, I hesitate to order key lime pie, because it’s one of those hit or miss foods. Sometimes, it’s too sweet, other times, too tart. But on my first visit to Key West, I heard Kermit’s was the place to go, so I stopped in. One slice for $ 4.50 with a little bit of hard whipped cream. It had a very good lime flavor and the graham cracker crust was nicely seasoned. Definitely one of the top 2 key lime pies I’ve ever had, if not the best. Also, l was impressed that they had 8 or 9 different key lime sauces to sample. And the mustard-​key lime dipping sauce was amazing.

While in New Orleans, I went to a restaurant called the Gumbo Shop that didn’t have very good gumbo. Since then I’ve been skeptical of ordering a place’s namesake dish, but Kermit’s Key Lime Shoppe has helped changed my mind. While it does look very commercial, it was still a cute little shop and you can never go wrong when free samples are offered. The cookies and salsa we sampled (not at the same time) all tasted great. We had a slice of key lime pie for $ 4.50. The tart filling was nicely balanced by a few dollops of whipped cream and the pie had just the right amount of crust. Overall Kermit’s is worth a stop as you’re strolling down Duval Street.

Eh, not the best key lime pie I’ve had. This was the first key lime pie shop I visited in Key West, and I was expecting it to be fantastic. The pie didn’t have enough lime flavor and just tasted sweet. I wanted it to be stronger! Kind of a let down.
On the other hand, there are so many nice samples of sweets around the store — candy, cookies, and fudge. The fudge was DELICIOUS. To be honest, I took more than just one sample. Can they put that flavor into the pie?! The consistency was so silky and the taste was spot on. The taffy is pretty good too — sweet and limey. The cookies can be passed on, and they are too pricey. I do applaud the place for the variety, though. There is also limeade, but it isn’t worth it at all. I could make better limeade than that.
In addition to all of those sweets, there are various sauces and spreads as well as cute gifts and things like dog treats and lotions.
Bottom line: the best thing here is the fudge. You can find better key lime pie elsewhere.

Key Lime Pie on a stick! Yum Yum Yummy Yum Yum! It’s tart, it’s sweet, and it’s covered in chocolate!
Kermit’s is a must when you’re in Key West. Stop in to try samples of the key lime fudge, buy a souvenir box of key lime cookies to take home, and grab a key lime pie on a stick for a tasty treat to walk down Duval with!

Yes, the key lime pie is that good.
The shoppe is fairly simple looking with seating in a nice outdoor back area. It even has a pond with fish! They sell other food and drink but let’s be honest, you are here for the key lime pie. It’s the best around.
and yes they do have a bathroom, its good to know!

Really good key lime ice cream! At first, it tastes a lil sour but the more you eat it the more you will like
It! It’s smooth and velvety.
The key lime pie was pretty good too!

So you’re in Key West, the world’s capitol of Key Lime Pie. Where do you start? Can your stomach handle it?
The reviews were pretty good for this place so we decided to get some food to go as we left Key West. Plus with a name like Kermit’s you know it’s going to be good. They have key lime sauce, pie, fudge, shoes, and the even a key lime kitchen sink. This place is a key line Avalon.
I tried the Key Lime pie and it was so good! This place even gives out free samples of a ton of their products. So dig in!
Overall, I liked the Key Lime better at Blue Heaven, but I really like this one as well! Thumbs up!
