The company highlights its traditional pie as tart-forward and made with double-strength key lime juice. This is a retail dessert stop rather than a full restaurant.
Kermit's Key Lime Pie Shop - Elizabeth Street: what to know
RealReviews editorial research · checked 2026-07-24Kermit’s Elizabeth Street shop is the clearest fit for a traveler who wants a dedicated key-lime specialist, a tart-forward slice, the frozen chocolate-dipped bar, or a whole pie near the Historic Seaport. It is less suitable for someone seeking a seated destination meal or a guarantee that every product shown online is in the case at that moment.

What this location actually offers
The company’s official history traces the Key West business to the early 1990s and identifies the Elizabeth Street store as its flagship. Its current location page lists 200 Elizabeth Street and a direct phone. The shop’s product identity extends beyond plated pie: frozen chocolate-dipped pie bars, whole pies, candy, pantry products, packaged gifts, and other key-lime items all sit within the brand.
Kermit’s FAQ describes the traditional pie as deliberately tart and credits double-strength key lime juice. That is the company’s own recipe description, not a RealReviews tasting result. Travelers comparing it with a tall-meringue restaurant slice should expect a different format and judge filling, crust, topping, temperature, and portability separately.
Who should choose the Elizabeth Street shop
The address is convenient for the Historic Seaport and waterfront side of Old Town. It works as a counter-service stop during a walking itinerary and allows a group to compare several product formats without committing to a restaurant meal. Someone interested only in the famous frozen bar may value speed and portability more than seating.
A traveler seeking atmosphere, table service, cocktails, or a full meal should compare a restaurant such as Blue Heaven. Someone already on central Duval Street may find another Kermit’s counter or a different pie shop easier. The best location is the one that fits the route and storage plan.
Whole pies, weddings, and shipping
The official FAQ says a whole pie serves roughly eight to ten guests and directs Key West wedding orders to the Elizabeth Street location. Confirm lead time, pickup window, topping, serving estimate, refrigeration, utensils, deposit, cancellation, and current price for the actual event. A published serving estimate is not a substitute for the group’s portion plan.
Frozen pies shipped off-island follow separate rules. Kermit’s publishes limited shipping weekdays, overnight service, dry-ice handling, cutoff times, and separation from nonfrozen goods. The delivery date, recipient availability, thawing, and freezer space need to be planned before using shipping for an occasion.
How to read the rating and prepare for the stop
The Google Places aggregate shown on this profile is outside data attributed to Google. Reviews may discuss candy, gifts, service, frozen bars, slices, whole pies, crowds, and location convenience. It is not a RealReviews score for one recipe. Search recent text for the exact product you plan to order.
Confirm hours and availability directly when timing matters. Keep a frozen bar or whole pie out of a hot car, ask how long it can travel, and request appropriate packaging. For allergies, ask the shop about current ingredients and cross-contact rather than inferring from the simple appearance of the dessert.
