One of my regular spots when visiting the Key West. I love the variety of healthy options including vegan and gluten free. The Golden Milk late and matcha lattes are yummy. The smoothie bowls are also delicious and refreshing. The patio is also a nice and shaded.
I come here every time I visit for their delicious coffee and the gluten free pistachio lemon cake. This visit, I treated myself to a birthday breakfast and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and the flavors were amazing.
Very quiet place with amazing food and service. Our waiter was so kind and patient and you could tell she loved her job. She has amazing communication with her chefs out back and knew the components of every dish when we asked for specifications for dietary restrictions. We got a couple items and all tasted very delicious. I would say the best vegan/vegetarian/gluten free restaurant option in all of Key West.
Unfortunately the only concern I have is the bun for the burger was a little to crispy and seemed overcooked but the rest of the food was amazing đ.
Brunch very good. Waitress was excellent. Nice 2nd floor patio. If you eat gluten free, the breakfast potatoes have cross contamination. I was thankful our waitress informed me as I was ordering. So, watch out for the gluten free options. Awesome gluten free Bloody Mary.
This is our second time coming here. We came back because this was our favorite meal last year. The food was good, but not as good as last year. The wait staff was helpful in finding gluten-free options for my son. He ordered the 1/2 chicken which I had last year. This time, instead of 1/2 chicken, he was served grilled chicken breasts. Not sure what happened there. Overall, the food was good and the patio is a great place to watch people and roosters.
The best breakfast we found. Plus, there are great gluten-free options. My wife has celiac and is sensitive to cross-contamination. Absolutely no issues. That staff was very accommodating.
We had a wonderful experience. Andrei was able to help us navigate the menu with our gluten free needs. He was able to give us recommendations on how to make items on the menu GF even though they were not listed as GF. The swordfish was wonderfully prepared.
My favorite dining spot in Key West. During my weeklong stay, we visited for dinner on the patio twice, and breakfast in the dining room twice. The atmosphere was sensational both indoors and out. The menu was creative and adventurous. The food was expertly prepared and served. The patio had live music by exceptional performers. Iâm a symptomatic celiac (gluten allergy) and had no issues. Almost everything they offered could be prepared gluten free. Blue Heaven was food heaven!
Great little restaurant on the beach. The staff is super nice and the food is amazing! All the ingredients are fresh and my meal was very healthy. They do not have a gluten-free menu, but they are very accommodating!
It's a low key place that is full of people that live in Key West. You can put your toes in the sand on the beach while you eat if you want to. Outdoor seating is available and that's where most of the people sit. The fish is bought each morning and had selected by the owner.
You need to visit here if you are in Key West!
Impeccable service and extraordinary food. They accommodated my wifeâs gluten free needs as well. Iâve been to many of the local restaurants over the years, but this is a new favorite.

Loved Having the option of gluten-free toast for my avocado toast! Fantastic, our server was great, fun to sit and watch the native chickens wander around while listening to some local music talent. Avocado, toast and fish tacos were excellent.
I was in key west for 5 days and I think I ate here at least once a day if not more. The food is incredible and the guy who runs it is super friendly and helpful. I have celiac so itâs really hard for me to eat out especially when traveling. not only was he knowledgeable about allergen safety but he made me a completely custom gluten free sandwich that wasnât even on the menu. If I could give that sandwich 12 starts out of 10 I would.
First night of my 50th bday celebration. Everything was incredible. Kids enjoyed their burgers and my wife and I loved the grouper and mahi mahi. Lobster ceviche was fresh and flavorful. Service and atmosphere were 100% perfect. We will be back this week. Cannot recommend more strongly. Very accommodating of my wifeâs Celiac condition. Thank you Danny and Zach. Memorable experience.
We went and ate at the location one time and had them deliver to our resort two other times. I eat gluten free due to Celiac and I was able to safely eat here. The two times we ordered delivery were great experiences. The food came sooner than expected both times. Also the order was 100% accurate which unfortunately surprises me since there is usually a mistake somewhere in food delivery. We ordered directly from their website instead of a meal delivery company. Their website is very user friendly and everything is customizable. I wish they had a location near where I live.
Pretty traditional on the water restaurant. Open air concept so you're sitting in whatever the weather decides. Food was ok at best. Strip steak had a nice flavor but poor cut, lots of grizzle. đœ Wasn't cooked and potatoes in steamer pot were still hard. Other seafood was good. Service was just ok. Not sure I would need to go back. Not super knowledgeable on gluten free options.
First meal came for the food, then went back (and back again) for that and the experience. The owner is such a delight and the food is fantastic! You won't regret going!
Super accommodating to one of our crew who have to be gluten and dairy free!
Photo is the huevos rancheros with plantains instead of tortillas - so good!
Waitress was dismissive about allergy and annoyed that i asked any questions. Great atmosphere but I dont even drink, so if you have celiac I'd make other plans. My husband is having a drink and appetizer and then we will find something else.
We stopped by the Blackfin Bistro for lunch yesterday. We had the best seat in the house for people watching. I am gluten intolerant and they had plenty of options for me. We had calamari, escargot and mussels in blue cheese sauce. Gabor was great! Very knowledgeable, recommended a wonderful wine and he was so friendly. I highly recommend checking Blackfin out if you find yourself in Key West.
We were looking for a place at Mallory Square to sit and relax while watching the sunset. Decided dinner would be a good thing and Bistro 245 had great outdoor seating that did not require reservations. They had a few GF items on a quick glance of the menu, and I was told the kitchen could work with me. Seating by the railing was perfect for our purposes.
On second glance at the menu, there really was not much GF in a reasonable price range. Steak or lobster meal was $49 a plate. I sent the waiter to check with the kitchen about the gazpacho, which to me should be a safe GF option, but was not marked as such on the menu. Our young man eventually came back and said it was safe to eat. I ordered that ($11) and a burger without the bun and fries if they were GF or chips as second option ($18). My partner had a burger the regular way with the pasta salad.
Our food was delivered by a different person than our waiter. The soup had a buttered crouton floating in the center of the bowl. I had clearly informed my waiter of my NCGS, so I was a little upset. I scooped it quickly out of the bowl, and since I am not celiac, decided to eat it. I let the waiter know and he did offerer to return it to the kitchen, but I figured it was probably safe enough for me, but a gentle reminder to the kitchen would be helpful. The soup was excellent except for that snafu.
The burger came without condiments and there were none on the table. We asked for ketchup and mayo. And waited...waited...waited. Our waiter hovered around his tables like a bee, landing and quickly moving on, but we finally had to remind him of our needs! He was apologetic but that is basic service 101. The burgers were good and cooked to order of medium (mine) and rare (his).
The sunset was ok, clouds did not cooperate to make it spectacular, but the Bistro was a good place to view it if it had been.
Great food, not many options for gluten free other than the salads, because they press the sandwiches on regular bread, even though they say they offer gluten free buns. Overall a good experience!
Probably the best place I have ever eaten. The food and drinks were impeccable. The staff was also very knowledgeable about gluten free items which included dessert. Very highly recommend!
INCONSISTENT - Iâm Gluten free and they accommodated it the first time I ate here, and now they wonât the second time. If you have food allergies avoid this place. We waited for a table, got sat and then had to leave and find somewhere else. Not cool.
Love that they have a covered patio. Great selection on their menu with a variety of unique dishes. Food was prepared perfectly. Gluten free options too!
This is a must go to in Key West. So many different dishes to pick from for breakfast. Gluten and Vegetarian options. Askana was the BEST server yet in Key West. Thank you!
We've been wanting to go and finally got to on this trip. Sunday morning brunch time. Inside was cool, tasteful nautical. Outside patio looked shaded and inviting. The staff were delightful, chatty and funny. We were well taken care of. I had the delicious spinach and goat cheese omelet with extra crispy bacon, generous mango pineapple mimosa. They even had gluten free bread for me, for toast. Served with Sarabeth's famous strawberry peach jam. My guy had a shrimp, bacon, cheese omelet and tasty muffin and bloody mary. All great. Highly recommend.
Recommended by a local and I see why.
Great location across from the old Flagler rail station and historic docks. Great choice and big portions of tasty food. Coffee good and great service, clean restrooms, some quirky decor so whatâs not to like.
I now can safely recommend it to you, Gluten free breakfast options available in the regular menu.
