There are a number of places to eat breakfast in Key West. Most are not very good (suck actually). Pepe’s is not one of them.
Yes… you have to walk away from Duval street to find it. It is near the marina. It is not that far… you can do it.
It has the right combination feel of classics that make you feel like you are at a great greasy spoon… and then they’ll spring the homemade banana bread at you… or the interesting fruit combination on the french toast… to remind you that your not in Kansas anymore.
Lastly, it has longevity. It’s not fancy… but there is almost always a line. If it was good enough for Truman, it’s good enough for me. Highly recommended.
