Key West Ice Cream Factory & Café features premium homemade ice cream and sorbet, made only with the finest ingredients, in our Key West factory, located at the Historical Key West Bight.

We offer Key West’s finest ice cream – We use 14% butterfat mix in our ice cream, which is the richest and creamiest mix available. In addition to a large variety of traditional and special flavor ice creams, we feature tropical fruit flavors, reflective of our beautiful island home. Come in and try our “Famous” Key Lime Pie ice cream, Coconut Rum Raisin, Cuban Banana, and many more. We also create a large variety of Sorbets, which are made with fresh fruit and are light and refreshing to the palate.

We make our own, original, Key Lime pies and also dip them in rich, dark, enrobing chocolate on a stick.

We wholesale all of our ice cream, sorbet and Key Lime Pie products to other ice cream shops, restaurants and RV parks.

We have Cuban bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast, made with fresh Cuban bread, delivered daily, along with delicious “Goldman’s” bagels, pastries, Café con Leche, espressos, and featuring “Island Joe’s” coffees.

For lunch, we have Cuban sandwiches, chicken salad, tuna salad, and Papia’s Curried Chicken Salad, along with a variety of other sandwiches and breads.  We also have wraps.  We make our own homemade 9” pizza, with regular or multi-grain thin crust, with a wide assortment of toppings. And we feature Nathan’s hot dogs. See our  complete Menu.
