La Ventanita

Welcome to my #marketfriday hosted by dswigle@dswigle. I took a road trip from Miami to Key West. Since you are in Miami, of course you have to start with some Cuban coffee from la ventanita.

Versailles

Verailles has the best Cuban coffee and croquetas you can get without a tourist visa.

Croquetas

Their croquetas come with crackers which seemed weird but were a nice finish to the fried treat.

Farm Stores drive thru

Next stop another local store for some Cuban bread plus a toasted ham and cheese croissant. Our "tour guide" wanted us to experience all the local cuisine.

Blond Giraffe

After some driving in what I have to admit was terrible traffic, we stopped at the Blond Giraffe. Despite what the sign says we were just in Key Largo lol still 2 hours from Key West.

Blond Giraffe story

The Blond Giraffe was founded in Key West so that probably explains the sign.

Factory store

They later added the tag "Key Lime Pie Factory" and focus now on all things Key Lime.

Pie on a stick

I had a frozen slice of Key Lime Pie on a stick. Did I mention it was dipped in chocolate? 馃構

Key Lime Pie

They also make traditional Key Lime pies but why would you go back after having the frozen, chocolate coated version?

Key West

We did finally make it to Key West.

This way

And followed directions...

Raw Bar

to this place 馃檪

Nightowl

Tasty, fresh raw bar in laid back atmosphere. Seemed to capture Key West vibe pretty well for me.

Selfie

I don't usually do selfies but I guess this is me 馃槀

Protest sign

Key West is full of wild chickens. I caught a mother and chick dashing by this protest sign 馃榿 More on Key West roosters if you are interested.

Thats all for my road trip #marketfriday. Have a great Friday!
