KENNEDY CAFE – American
A Key West cafe that refuses to pick a lane: Mediterranean, Italian, Greek, Turkish and Uzbek share one menu at 924 Kennedy Drive, and somehow it works. The Uzbek side is the interesting part, with lamb dumplings, lagman noodle soup and pita breads baked from scratch. Elsewhere there are gyro platters, falafel wraps, stromboli, pizza and a straightforward cheeseburger, with halal, kosher, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options marked. Doors open at 7:30am and stay open to midnight, seven days a week. Portions are large, prices are fair, and locals use it as hard as visitors do.
