Blond Giraffe Key Lime Pie Factory in Tavernier, FL

I went down to Key Largo and decided to get some key lime pie. I ended up at a place called Blond Giraffe Key Lime Pie Factory in the town of Tavernier. They had several variations of the pie available, including plain, dipped in chocolate, but I decided on the key lime pie with meringue topping. The pie was nice and tart and the meringue was very fluffy. That was all good, but we really don't want to talk about the food, do we?

We want to talk about the bunnies. Blond Giraffe had a fenced in yard behind the restaurant. This yard was filled with rabbits! Apparently they have chickens back here too, but I visited after dark so they were all roosting for the night.

I ate my key lime pie rather quickly, but stayed much longer petting rabbits...

Keys Bite in Key Largo, FL

I was in Key Largo on New Years Eve and it was decided that key lime pie should be eaten while there. Restaurant choices were thin since it was a holiday. Based on what was open, we ended up at a restaurant called Keys Bite. They had a diner-like menu, and luckily they did have the pie we were seeking.

The key lime pie was served with whipped cream and a lime slice. It was creamy and tart. Everything that I would have expected a slice of key lime pie to be in the Keys!
