5 Brothers Grocery & Sandwich Shop

Key West


A Key West icon, this tiny grocery store and deli fires up some of the best Cuban-style espresso this side of Miami. Join locals over early-morning cafe con leche, guava pastries and bacon and egg rolls, or stop in later for delectable roast pork sandwiches.

There are a few plastic chairs on the sidewalk out front, perfect for taking in the neighborhood scene.
