Mattheessen's Candy Kitchen - Key West

The cookies are huge and the ice cream was tasty! It was fun to see them making all the treats right there in the shop! I put my hand in the photo to show you the size of the giant cookies!

My family and I visited Keywest for 2 full days before going to Miami. In the span of 2 days, we came back three times because we just could not get enough. That giant cookie is a lot to eat (0.5 lb) but it was so good I ate the whole thing. Although it was not straight out of the oven, the flavor was so good and and the dough was so well made. The other two times I got ice cream, one being almond fudge, and the other being the Cuban coffee. The ice cream was so airy,the almond-fudge ratio was perfect, and the coffee was just excellent and not overpowering. It suited the vibe of Keywest entirely. If you ever go to Keywest, you MUST try this place. Hopefully I will be back for more one day!

The hit here was the ice cream over the cookie! Chocolate fudge was also good.

We got fudge, an M&M cookie and also key lime pie. The ranking was Fudge, Key lime pie, then the cookie was probably the worst one. I wish it was better but it was large.

We thought some of these monster half cookies and some ****. Very clean and friendly service. We also ordered 2 chocolate base macaron. The best I ever had and very big. Definitely comes back here in Key West FL.
