My husband and I ate at Banana Cafe for breakfast in June, and just thinking back to it makes my mouth water! He got the crepe with bananas and rum, and I got the egg and cheese crepe. We both split a side of bacon, which came with 4 or 5 slices--plenty for two people. It was definitely the best breakfast we had in Key West, hands down, and the prices are pretty reasonable.

associated with a hotel/restaurant in Var, France. 90% of the menu is a crepe dish and they have around 50 menu items, crepes stuffed and or served w/various meats, veggies, cheeses, etc. had lunch there Nov. 25, 2005 and dessert was so good my wife (she grew up in Paris) insisted we return for dessert the next day. checkout their website [--].

This was my last breakfast in KW and oh, how I wished I had eaten here sooner, I would have gone back every day!!! Crepes were EXCELLENT - I love Nutella and ate every morsel of my Nutella crepe - absolutely delicious! The other crepes looked great too, and we ordered a side of bacon, very generous and cooked just right. Great service and the outdoor seating was comfortable even in July! This definitely deserves a higher rating. Go here!! You won't be sorry!!! :)

This past June my husband and I vacationed on Key West. One morning we were looking for a breakfast spot and happened upon the Banana Cafe. It's situated on the first floor of a conch house on Duval St.. We were seated on the covered porch with just a few other tables. The menu consists of egg dishes, crepes, bagels, fruit plates, etc... My husband had the crepe filled with banana and nutella. I had an omelet w/spinach, cheese, and carmalized onions. Both tasted excellent for a fair price. The service was prompt and friendly. It tends to get busy, you may have to wait for a seat but it's well worth it.

I've never experienced such incompetence or inflexilbility in seating guests. The staff loves diners who arrive alone or in pairs, but any more than two at a time and guests are shuffled to the bottom of a mental list (there was no formal written wait list, just guess work). When I asked if two tables could be pushed together to accommodate us, I was shown the utmost of unspoken hostility. The promised 15 minute wait turned into 45 minutes, with patrons arguing with the staff over who arrived first. Terrible. I think this restuarant caters to locals who work nearby and since tourists will not likely be seen again, they are not treated with the courtesy you show repeat business. Crepes are not haute cuisine. Any street vendor in Paris makes them. So why the haute and mighty attitude?
