Renowned for its fabulous food, great restaurants, and award-winning Food & Wine Festival, Key West is a celebrated foodie’s paradise. But as great as the food scene is here, it’s not always, shall we say, “mindful.”
There’s the Green Pineapple Wellness Cafe for those of us searching for conscious nourishment without sacrificing deliciousness.
Nestled inside The Green Pineapple Boutique on Upper Duval Street, this excellent plant-based, gluten-free cafe creates intentional food that nourishes your body, mind, and spirit. Food that makes you vital, keeps you healthy, and brings joy to your tastebuds.
Power up with a smoothie after yoga, or grab one of their fresh juices. Try one of Chef Layla’s delicious baked goods or indulge in a nutritious and delicious salad. Bring a friend and raise a glass or share a bottle of their worldly selection of organic, biodynamic, and sustainable wines — all with a window view of the world-famous Duval Street.
The Cafe also stages special culinary events to celebrate our locally sourced ingredients. With the conclusion of the Florida growing season, there are just three more events before the Cafe pauses its event schedule for the summer.
