This place is great! I went there a few years ago and loved the samples of their products that are for everyone to try out. Once it tasted their key lime mango sauce, I was hooked. Fast forward to today and since I live in miami I can’t drive to Kermit to get what I want. They have an online ordering systems with reasonable shipping and all the items I love. You MUST try the mango poppy dressing for salads it is the best. Also their delivery got to my house within 2 days. I highly recommend you buy from them.

When in Key West, you have to try the Key Lime Pie. When at Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe you have to order to the Chocolate Covered Key Lime Pie on a stick. It is delicious.

After venturing around Key West during a cruise ship stop, my boyfriend and I decided to search for the best key lime pie. We were walking back from the Hemingway House and spotted Kermit’s – a cute storefront with everything key lime you can imagine! There’s taffy, key limeade, and so many other delicacies. We had fun perusing the store and checking everything out. At the cooler up front next to the counter, there’s rows of individually boxed key lime pie slices. Kermit has signs that say it has award winning key lime pie, so we were in for a treat! We decided to purchase a slice and enjoy it in the store, but everyone else seems to have the same idea as the four chairs in the store were taken and their chairs outside were full too. We waited until a family left and devoured the entire slice of pie – it was so delicious!!! I am not a huge fan of key lime pie, but this one was simply phenomenal. The pie had the perfect taste of sweet, tart, a hint of key lime bitter, and the crust and whipped cream were outstanding.
If you venture to Key West, you must have a slice of key lime pie, and I Kermit’s is a great option for just that!

This place is awesome! They not only have regular Key Lime pie, but they also have chocolate covered Key lime pie, key lime cookies, sauces, soaps, and a lot more.
They have free samples of almost everything. My entire family loved this shop.

Oh so yummy key lime pie. I am not a huge key lime lover, but when in Rome … it almost had a cheesecake flavor. Delicious.

Everything in there is key lime! I walked in mainly since a shop that only does key lime must have the best key lime around.
I got a slice of key lime pie for a little under $ 5.
It was really sour and not terribly creamy, which I rather prefer but my friends didn’t. More for me, I suppose!

Stopped by here on a cruise stopover in Key West, in search of delicious Key Lime Pie (but of course).
About a 20 – 30 minute walk from the cruise terminal. Boyfriend and I shared a slice of Key Lime Pie, and a smoothie. We ate outdoors, where they had some seating, and a Koi pond. The pie was delicious! Just the right amount of tartness and sweetness, and the little dollop of whipped cream on top was just enough. Wished we could have gotten another, but we had to rush back to the cruise.
Also lots of tastings around the shop, and key lime EVERYTHING, even shampoo and conditioner.
Told my brother and he was annoyed that I didn’t bring a pie back for him and my mom, so it might be time to order one and have it delivered.
Would definitely be back should we find ourselves in Key West again.

This place is pretty awesome. The pie is very good and I love that they let you try all of their products from the chips/​cookies to the wine they let you sample their products before you buy.
We had both their chocolate dipped key lime pie and their regular pie. I personally prefer the Key Lime pie by itself because I find the chocolate dipped to be a bit heavy for me. Both are nice and I would recommend that you try for yourself to decide on your preference.
One of the best things is that they give you free shipping on purchases greater than $ 75 (as of December 5th 2015) and I was able to ship all of my souvenirs home for my friends and family!
While I don’t have anything against this place I just wasn’t wowed by the food or service so that is the only reason it’s not a 5 star experience.

Delicious! We found out about this place when we were on a tour around Key West. It is very well known for their Key Lime Pie and has even been on the food network.
After the tour we walked here and found out why it was so popular. It was the best Key Lime Pie I have ever tasted.
If you would like a pie but do not have means to get it back home they even ship it to you! They also have packets of key lime mix you can purchase and make the pie yourself at home. My parents bought that so my sister and brother in law who weren’t with us would be able to try it.
I would highly recommend visiting this place if you are in town visiting. Yummy in my tummy :)

Believe the hype for how good the frozen, chocolate covered, key lime pie in a stick is. It was a bummer that they were out of the strawberry key lime pie covered in white chocolate, but the original made up for it. They also have all kinds of other products like sauces, dips and jams, and you can sample them all in the store. If you can’t make it to Key West, you can order online and have it shipped.

Anything key lime you could want (and more), with varying results. The cookies we bought were okay but honestly for the price they could have been better. There were lots of samples and the fudge was quite appealing. Service was a little distant. Didn’t have the pie so maybe I would have been bowled over if we had, but as it was I found Kermit’s to be ok.

After our disappointing dinner at Rum Barrel we came here to get some dessert of chocolate dipped key lime pie. The shop is cute and the employees were very nice and friendly. They have a lot of samples set up around the store and it was fun to try a lot of the product. There were some other people in the store who asked about a product and they were offered a taste of it which I thought was nice.
We got our pie and took it to the streets to enjoy while we walked. Let me just say it was everything I was hoping for. Key lime pie, good tart and not too sweet then you have the dark chocolate dip which complemented the pie very nicely. Thank goodness we had walked away otherwise I might have ended up with more pie.

Kermit’s was a delightful stop on our visit to Key West.
The ladies working when we arrived at 9:25p stayed open for business, although they closed at 9:30p. They were helpful with recommendations and gave us tips for fresh keeping of our purchases.
My boyfriend and I shared a slice of chilled and light tasting key lime pie, a moist powdered key lime pie cookie, delicious key lime salt water taffy, key lime pie on a stick dipped in chocolate, and strawberry key lime pie on a stick dipped in white chocolate.
I would definitely recommend anyone visit. They offer small tasting samples of most of their products onsite which is helpful in selecting your purchases. The service was useful and welcoming. Pricing was standard for this kind of specialty shop. And next time, I’d probably indulge in an entire pie to-​go for later!

If you are looking for somewhere to try key lime pie, stop here. If you have never tried anything key lime flavored, stop here. This shop has just about everything you can imagine flavored with key lime! Key lime lemonade, jelly beans, cookies, and even a dip for chips! :D I walked into Kermits and was in awe of how many different samples I could try! My favorite was of course the key lime pie on a stick! It’s a delicious dark chocolate covered key lime pie, just like eating an ice cream on a stick! I also tried the mango key lime pie which was out of this world. If you ask for a sample the employee will let you try it! :)
The shop is very clean, and the girls working are so sweet and helpful, and they will answer and questions you have! I love that they have an area behind the shop to sit and eat (in the shade too!) Kermits is such a fun «key west» experience!

It gets no better than Kermit’s when it comes to key lime pie. This place is fantastic! The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and it’s a very clean establishment.
We always come to Kermits when we want the best key lime. There is also a small sitting area out back with a Koi pond and large water feature wall. Great for relaxing while you dig in on some pie. Next door is also a Kermits establishment, but they sell actual food, not just desserts.
Overall, nothing but awesome experiences here! Recommend ten times over!

the wife and I decided to have an early lunch before our afternoon dive trip at Kermit’s. We both ordered the Cuban mix sandwich, the staff made the meal even better when they allowed us to order off the standard menu. We were happy to dump the fries for a small Cesar and a cup of fruit to go with the Cubans. We are in the patio next to the coy pond… how relaxing! We will have to give them a all around five star review!

They had great key lime flavored items, but «interesting» customers service. I went to the register and the worker asked me «what do you want?». (Yes, in that not so nice tone of voice.) Well, I wanted to make a purchase.
I guess if you are ok with bad service and just want your products, it will be fine.

This might be my favorite key lime pie in key west. Admitting this is awfully difficult. No, I don’t like some sell out named Kermit standing outside advertising with a fake pie every time a tour bus comes by. No I don’t like 40 different kinds of lime mixture marinades marketed by Kermit. No I don’t like anything about this place except, the most important aspect of it. The key lime pie.
Best key lime pie on a stick covered in chocolate goes to Kermit, probably 5 stars, well done. Only other one I had was blond giraffe and Kermits is much better.
Key lime pie itself — 4.35 stars. Graham cracker crust, nice tartness, good color, not too much whipped cream, lovely really. Not mind blowing though which means 4 star rating for Kermits, but probably my favorite on the island.

I almost left the island without trying some Key Lime pie! Luckily we passed this place on the way back to the car.
Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of Key Lime, nor will I ever be. But I couldn’t leave without trying it! Their pie is really good but was pretty tart from all that lime. But it is made from scratch so I give them props.
You should totally check out this store, they have a lot of other things to offer.

Le citron vert, c’est la spécialité de Key West. Du coup ils ont fait lquoi es américains? Ils en ont fait tout un magasin jaune et vert, avec que des produits à base de citron vert. Par contre, ils blaguent pas: du shampoing aux bonbons, en passant par les savons et les bougies ici, vous trouverez tout ce dont vous avez besoin (OU PAS) à la senteur ou au goût de citron vert.
Alors de façon globale, je suis un sévère avec mon 3* car j’ai aimé plein de choses, que je citerai dans la deuxième partie, mais ce qui me gêné le plus, ce sont forcément les tarifs qui sont assez élevés pour ramener plein de souvenirs (quoi que, ca né nous a pas empêché de ramener deux gros sacs), et ce petit côté attrape touriste (vous entendez parler italien, français, espagnol mais limite l’anglais reste sur le pas de la porte).
Mais, passé ces deux aprioris, c’est vrai que dans la cour intérieure du magasin, qui ressemble un peu au reste de l’île — à savoir, le paradis — est juste top; vous pourrez y déguster une spécialité de la boutique: la tarte au citron vert (Key Lime Pie). Et j’ai adoré, acidulée mais pas trop, sucrée mais pas trop. Trop bon. Et cette cour… c’était vraiment le top.
Quand je suis rentrée, j’ai donné les souvenirs autour de moi et tout le monde a aimé ce que j’ai rapporté, et autant vous dire que les petits cookies chocolat blanc/​citron vert que j’avais acheté pour mon petit plaisir perso sont encore dans ma mémoiré même quelques années plus tard.
