Baby's Coffee and Shave Ice in Key West

We had two new experiences in Key West today. The first was a stop at Baby's Coffee. We had a late breakfast so decided to skip lunch and go directly to coffee and snacks. We each had a frozen coffee which is just like a frappucino. Carol and I had mocha and Mary had a latte. They were very good and hit the spot just right. We each had a snack to go with. Oatmeal cookie, chocolate crumb cake (the crumbs were chocolate) and mocha chocolate chip muffin. It was an excellent mid-day snack. Apparently, Baby's is the spot for folks who are on long bicycle rides to stop. There were three who stopped in while we were there.

We were on a roll with snack foods so after taking a driving tour of Key West, we stopped along the beach at the shave ice truck. These are much like snow cones only the ice is very finely ground and mounded to where there was almost as much ice on top of the cup as there was inside. We chose dark cherry, pineapple and lemon. She asked if we wanted evaporated milk on top. I thought that was a strange concept but wanted to try it. Of course we did not get the milk on the lemon flavored one. I don't know how much the milk added and I don't think I would add it the next time. But the shave ice was very good! It was an excellent snack and quite refreshing
