Savoring a Slice of Key Lime Pie in Key West, Florida

For a sweet break, step out of the Florida heat and into the coolness of one of the Blond Giraffe’s pie shops. The first location opened in 1999 and, that same year, won first place in the Key West Key Lime Pie Festival. Since then, the quality hasn't flagged, with well-deserved awards for its extraordinary pies lining the walls. The pies are made with tart Key Lime custard on crispy graham cracker crusts and crowned with a fluffy meringue. The Blond Giraffe also makes one of the most novel versions of the town’s signature dessert. For its “Pie on a Stick” creation, slices of Key Lime pie are dipped in rich chocolate, frozen, and then eaten popsicle style. It’s a fun and delicious way to enjoy this classic Key West treat as you stroll down the island's picturesque streets.

If you could take just one photo: Blond Giraffe

If the Florida Keys' island essence could be baked into a pie, it would materialize in the form of key lime goodness that one can only find at Blond Giraffe Key Lime Pies. The perfect combination of sweet, tart, and refreshing, Blonde Giraffe serves up a little taste of paradise. Sit down and have a slice in one of their many stores or grab a "Pie On a Stick" to go and head down Duval Street to experience Key West's unique take on Island Living. Stroll the sassy shops filled with all the seaside souveniers you can cram into your beach bag or duck into Duval Street's well known bars for an afternoon cocktail. In Key West, no one's judging.
