I was in Marathon for the weekend, and I was looking forward to trying this place out. We tried visiting on Saturday, but they were closed for cleaning. On the way home to Miami, I convinced my boyfriend to pop in for a sweet treat for the road. It was delicious! I had the Coconut Joy, which had coconut and chocolate chips. YUM! The coconut ice cream was perfect, and I'm picky about coconut ice cream because it has the tendency to taste like sunscreen - yuck! But not this one, perfect balance of coconut and chocolate chips. My boyfriend tried the chocolate ice cream, which was deep and rich in its chocolate flavor - perfect for chocolate lovers. I saw they had a variety of baked goods as well - cookies, croissants, cupcakes, etc. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

While on the way to Miami we stopped at this place. What a delicious key lime pie! You should visit this place and enjoy summer garden tables in the back. Don't to try cappuccino and their delicious ice cream. I definitely will visit this place on my way to Keys!

After eating dinner and heading back to our hotel, we wanted ice cream (well most of us did). So, we stopped in. Boy were we glad we did! All of us were able to get what we wanted. The hubby had a piece of cheesecake, I had ice cream, the boy had a cupcake, and the girl had a cookie. Everything was spot on. I had a Cuban vanilla flavor (I can't remember the name) with dulce de leche. It was perfect. Key lime cooler was the cupcake. It's flavor was sweet and tart and great! The cookie chosen was snicker doodle and you can't go wrong with that. Banana cheesecake was the flavor for the Mr. He ate it all up. The gals there were very helpful and offered to let us try anything we wanted. When we come back through, we will definitely come here!

Stopped by to try other key lime products but still couldn't resist the lure of the key lime pie. I also tried the key lime bar & the key lime cupcake. The pie as always was perfection. The crust is a perfect blend between soft and crunchy with amazing Graham flavor. The bar was pretty delicious. It's very tart so if you're not a fan of super tart dessert, pass on this. I enjoyed it. The crust was amazing as well. The cupcake was the wild card. I didn't end up eating it until a week later but I'm so glad I got to try it. It was kind of like a jelly doughnut version of a cupcake with key lime filling. Flavor was great. Not a jelly doughnut fan so I'll pass on this next time. I always enjoy every trip here & hope that you will pay them a visit soon. You won't be sorry.

Kids loved their oreo cupcakes. I was disappointed with the serving size of the key lime pie. Maybe my expectations were too high after reading the prior reviews. Maybe I eat oversized servings of dessert. The key lime pie was good and tart. The crust was good and buttery. Apparently I am just a 2 pie slice kind of girl.

Warm gooey brownie with coconut and ganache, blueberry cheesecake, coconut ice cream... FIVE stars all around. The owner was a warm and friendly lady. She told us about the fresh cupcakes she makes with two different flavors each day. They looked so good! The ice cream was really delicious. As we were leaving I was watching her package the brownie and she told us to take one home. It was outstanding service. Will definitely go back next time I'm in the keys.

BEST ICE CREAM IN THE KEYS! Hands down. Oreo Heath Bar.. Key Lime.. the sundaes... AMAZING baked goods... Outdoor garden seating.. A slice of refinement in an otherwise "whatever-goes" region. Love it

My friends and I sinfully indulged in their AMAZING Key Lime Pie over the long weekend. We bought and ate 3 full pies from Sweet Savannah's during our weekend stay in the Keys... and even bought a fourth one to take back home! Needless to say the fourth one didn't last long when we got back to Miami!! Also, an extremely sweet staff to say the least, those girls hooked us up! (:

Meridith Z.
Love this place! Ice cream is yummy and the cupcakes are fantastic! Always service with a smile. Tons of key lime goodies in the fridge to go. Prices are fair and they're open TIL 9! One star missing because they always run out of cupcakes, but I get they want them to be fresh.

I don't even have a sweet tooth and I loved everything at this place. I stopped here during a seafood/key lime tasting through the Keys adventure with my girlfriends. Their key lime pie was our favorite by far. It was tart but not overly so. And the graham cracker crust was pure perfection. Just to overdo things we also had the key lime bar and the key lime ice cream. All absolutely delicious. The set up is adorable as well. If I lived in the area I'd totally host a tea party there. It was very girly and us girls loved it.

I did a little research to find the best Key Lime Pie in Key West, TripAdvisor review was right on point!!! My only regret was not buyin a whole pie. They have other items as well, we sat out back to enjoy, which is decorated lovely. The staff was very nice and welcoming. I will B back for more....

This place is the freakin best. Best key lime pie I have ver had. Hands down. It is worth the $17. We bought three pies in a week!! It's the type of key lime that you can keep eating and not get repulsed after a couple of spoons. The crust is so yummy and crumbly and brown sugary They bake the best patties like fruit turnovers and fresh breads ! They had cheese bread and jalapeño cheese brad out one morning. To die for!! Their ice cream is delicious and creamy! It was my sons birthday while we were there and I had them make a s'mores flavored cake. I wanted a fishing theme so they added pictures of a mahi mahi on it. The cake was a hit! The chocolate was fluffy and moist and it had a marshmallow filling . Everyone that tried the key lime pie asked me where I got it so they went and bought their own. I'm forever faithful to Sweet Savannah's !

Really good!! The cupcakes are moist and delicious. The chocolate peanut butter ice cream is rich, chocolaty, and peanut buttery. So good! Go if you don't want to pay restaurant prices for desserts but still want that yummy, undefinable quality that comes from buying a dessert rather than trying to make it yourself.

Best ice cream in the keys. I love taking my family after dinner for a nice treat. The chocolate peanut butter ice cream in a chocolate cookie bowl is my favorite. Also the cupcakes are very nasty with fun combinations of flavors to choose from.

OBSESSED! I would like to say I'm a some what of an ice cream connoisseur . I love stopping by moms' and pops' ice cream shops . I've had some all over the country . From coast to coast. This place is AMAZING! I've been going for three days straight . The ice cream is creamy and not too sweet - just the right amount . I've tried different flavors and all of them have not let me down. The mantecato is a must ! My husband loved the key lime . The coconut joy is freaking awesome and the strawberry shake is so delicious ! This place is a must if your staying in marathon. OH and the staff had always been soooo nice . Asking people where are they visiting from , and saying thank you and have a nice day to every client. Stop reading my review and just go already !

The ice cream was rather good and I'll recomend the heath oreo, but the service was not so sweet. With a staff that consisted of two people talking about quitting and another who simply stared at us I felt awkward for wishing to have the ice cream they are supposed to be selling. Nevertheless, a place is different based on day and the product was fine.

When my husband and I decided to try Sweet Savannah's it was around 8:15pm and realizing it closes at 9:00, we were worried it would be closed. However, when we got there, the line was out the door. Although there were only two people working, the line moved quickly and they were very friendly to everyone. My husband and I each got the "Sweet Savannah" which is a cupcake with ice cream and topped with whipped cream. I had the key lime cooler cupcake with birthday cake ice cream and my husband had the chocolate cupcake with dulce de leche ice cream. They were both so good! It was definitely worth the wait in line!

My husband and I always love to try the local ice cream places while we're on vacation and this one did not disappoint. I'm usually so predictable with my ice cream choices (coffee or some variation,) but all of their flavors encouraged me to try something new. They had an amazing sugar free cherry vanilla chip ice cream. I was so glad I got two scoops! The staff was attentive and accommodating. We would definitely return on our next trip to the Keys!

Susan G.
Craving ice cream and saw the sign for Sweet Savannah's. 24 flavors served in a cone, cookie or cup. Picked sugar cones with chocolate-peanut butter ice cream and dulce de leche ice cream. Nice size scoop and quick service. Very happy with the choices. Also tried the key lime pie. Creamy lime filling on a thick graham cracker crust. It was good but a bit too sweet to be great.

I found Sweet Savannah's a few years ago on a trip with my family, and I'm so excited to head back this year! The best cupcakes and ice cream bar I've ever had-the peanut butter cup sundae was absolutely amazing! Hot fudge and hot peanut butter with vanilla ice cream and mini peanut butter cups-my mouth is watering just typing about it! The key lime pie is for sure the best on the island, so be sure to stop in for a slice

Had coffees and cookies. Nice little place with great rear patio area, but their chia tea was only that powered Big Train stuff (not Oregon Chai) and they couldn't make us a latte or mocha with non-fat milk (2% was as non-fat as they had). Still, we'd return for the cookies, which were delicious.
(4)
James S.
I dont usually give five stars but this place is fabulous and the staff are outstanding. We stopped in to see about ordering a cake and ate two awesome cupcakes, salted chocolate and dulce. Oh my gosh....we both fell in love and cant wait to try the other flavors! We also bought some key lime cookies to take home and they were huge! I cant wait to pick up the cake next week as I'm sure it will be great too. They have special flavor cupcakes for each day of the week and the ladies are as sweet as their cupcakes!
(5)
Chad B.
Service was horrible. Ended up walking out the door without ordering anything after waiting for 20 minutes as several individuals cut in front of me to order "coffee." The defining moment was when the teenager assisting people in the line rudely said to me that someone else would help me as he began helping the girls who cut in front of me. Too bad. The food items looked good, but the employees need training on some basic food service etiquette, especially if this business is going to charge $6.25 for an ice cream sandwich.

This is a great addition to the Marathon scene. From cupcakes to ice cream to key lime pie to coffees and espresso, they have everything to put a smile on your face. We tried four different cupcakes and the frosting they use on the red velvet cupcake is the BEST frosting I can ever remember having. The chocolate covered key lime pie was equally delicious, and I would have liked to try an ice cream sundae in a fresh chocolate chip cookie bowl, but sadly we ran out of vacation time. They offer specialty cupcakes on different days so make sure to check the board when you stop by.

Great place in Marathon!!! The ice cream was high quality and good assortment (24 flavors), key lime pie is excellent and the cup cakes have a flavor of the day to mix it up. Note - if you get a butter cream frosted cup cake let the frosting warm up a bit, it will be much smoother and creamier for sure! This place a great little gem and a solid stop for sweets!

Great ice cream. Owners had shop closed for renovations and they opened it for us to get ice cream. They are making it even cuter than it already was. Key Lime and coconut flavored were to die for. Cute seating area out back. And really nice people.

Katie W.
Really friendly staff and a lot of dessert/ice cream combo options. 3 stars for the ice cream. It was a little more icy than creamy. The Sweet and Salty cupcake was pretty good, though. If I go back, I would probably try a slice of their key lime pie with chocolate. That sounds amazing.

The flavors were just ok. NO much variety on the day we went, but as it was really hot outside and we were rewarding ourselves for our walk, we did get a cool snack. I had the Cappuccino Chip with Chocolate Peanut Butter, which was good and while she gave me two bigger scoops than my spouse, she also gave me a broken sugar cone, so the scoops were almost falling out. My spouse got extra small scoops and while he thot the Dolce de Leche was great, the Key Lime pie flavor wasn't very good. For $3.50, my scoop was decent, his too small. My flavors were fine, no better or worse than the same ones at other places. However, she was serving us when a large group came in, and even tho there was someone else to help them, she got flustered. She was good about allowing us to taste different flavors, but with one, she actually dropped it into another flavor's container and offered it to us, which would have negated the whole idea of figuring out what the original flavor tasted like.

The Key Lime Pie was amazing! We also had a red velvet cupcake that was very moist and yummy, two iced coffees hit the spot on our way back to Miami from Key West. The sign is super small, but it's totally worth it!

Wow, this place is great. The staff was very friendly and pleasant. We had 2 mint manias sundaes, one milkshake, and one sweet savannah sundae. All was some of the best we have ever had. Can't wait to come back. You will not be disappointed. Mint mania was chocolate mint ice cream, Oreo cookies, hot fudge and a chocolate mint on top. Sweet savannah had a cup cake on the bottom, ice cream, and a topping of your choice. Yum!

Pastries!!! Savory and sweet!!! Didn't try the coffee. Would love to see more variety. But the cinnamon roll was perfect and they custom placed the icing for me- I wanted less. The feta and spinach croissant was savory and not too salty!!! Delicious!

Marilyn C.
Yum! These were some of the best cupcakes I have ever had. There were some good flavor combos. This place is your standard ice cream/cupcake place with a young girl working at the counter. She wasn't overly friendly or helpful, but she was was certainly capable of basic customer service. Glad I stopped by.

The cup cakes were small and pretty much tasteless, if it weren't for the teaspoon of filling in it, it would have been totally tasteless. Save your money and go to Publix for a real cupcake and ice cream for a quater of the price, and 100% better taste.

I stopped here after dinner and sunset at Keys Fisheries for some type of key lime dessert. It was alright. I had the key lime and strawberry cupcake. The strawberry filling was great and the cupcake was light. However, while the frosting had a good taste, it had a gritty texture and way too much on the cupcake. After removing some of the frosting it was a better experience.

Eva J.
Great cake!!! Wow! So moist and lovely design! Hawk's Cay ordered the cake from here for a birthday celebration we had during our stay. Everyone raved about how great the cake was. The buttercream frosting was delicious! Will have to check out shop when we get back down there.

A cute shop that's easy to find right off the main highway in Marathon. Staff is friendly and they have a large selection of cupcakes and treats to choose from. I bought 2 cupcakes and a cookie to share with my family about $10. The cupcakes were very average, nothing special that I couldn't make myself. I ordered the sweet and salty cupcake (after having a few in the past from other cupcake bakeries) and it tasted just like a chocolate cupcake, not sweet and salty at all.
(2)
April A.
Cute little place with some deliciously tempting cupcakes!! But we were in the mood for ice cream. Chose chocolate peanut butter swirl and Oreo to share with the BF. The Oreo was sweet and yummy, the chocolate PB was more chocolate and not enough PB. I ordered an iced pumpkin chai, but I didn't like the flavor. The woman helping us was more than happy to take it off the bill. I was very impressed with that. Great customer service, OK ice cream.

Lisa W.
Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! We stopped here several times while vacationing in the Keys! Key lime pie was amazing! The cupcakes were good - great flavors! The ice cream, while not made on site, was good. The garden out back was adorable - definitely stay and eat in the garden! Like any places in the Keys, they charge tourists more than locals!

Very clean place with nice seating in the back. Not too friendly however. When I asked what kind of coffee they served the lady said regular and decaf .... hmmmm Also one of the sales folks asked how some teethmarks got into her display cupcake. Sort of strange. Also a "sliver" of key lime pie set me back close to four dollar$ ...... it was just OK

This was a neat clean looking shop. The staff did a nice job in serving us, they had a good variety of flavors, and the hand dipped ice cream was firm. The only disappointment was the waffle cone. It was small and obviously mass produced some where else. overall a very nice experience l.

I contacted Sweet Savannah's about doing two (2) birthday cakes as well as some gluten free cupcakes. The owners were very responsive and easy to work with regarding my order. Everything was exactly as ordered and delicious. The gluten free cupcakes tasted just like the tried and true. Ordered the Dulce and Key Lime cakes and they tasted great. Thanks.

When you walk into this place, you will think "2 stars?! This isn't some low budget snack shack!" But that's exactly why I give it 2 stars and not 3 ... because for a place made out to be a very cute and well designed gourmet dessert shop, the actual food was disappointingly bad. First of all, the ice cream was mediocre at best. The flavors were pretty standard and uninspired -- which would be ok if their standard flavors were exceptionally good. I like chocolate and strawberry as much as anything else. But the ice cream was not very creamy, and a little icy. The more inspired flavors, which sounded great, were not very flavorful at all and just tasted like sugar cream. I would say nowhere as good as stuff you could buy at the store, like Ben & Jerry's. Secondly, the portions were tiny. A single scoop was a tiny scoop -- although admittedly this seemed to be dependent on the person serving it. One person's scoops were at least 50% larger than the other's. Third, they pride themselves in their baked goods, but they were quite disappointing. The brownies were a little overly sweet and underly [sic] chocolatey. I had a sweet & salty cupcake with my ice cream -- chocolate with salted caramel filling. It was very sweet with a shortage of flavor ... none of the deep rich caramel and chocolate, and more like standard cheap convenience store chocolate. Fourth, the presentation did not meet up to their advertising or their decorations. The brownie sundae (something hard to mess up) consisted of a few sparse pieces of their very thin/flat brownies in a plastic banana split boat, 3 small scoops of ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream. Now, those are the right components ... but they looked like lonely islands of anorexic dessert in that boat. There was no flair at all. I ordered the "Sweet Savannah", which was a cupcake with a scoop of ice cream and a topping. I expected a delectable creation, but got literally what was described -- minus the topping. They plopped a cupcake (with its paper cup still attached) in a plastic cup, plopped a small scoop of ice cream on top of the icing, and that was it. No topping, no fanfare, no removing the paper first. Eating the Sweet Savannah was a terrible experience. The ice cream promptly melted into the paper, and while trying to remove the paper, the entire cupcake crumbled into mush. The icy ice cream then mixed in with the thick sickly sweet (and relatively flavorless) icing. Lastly, anyone who has read my coffeeshop reviews would know I'm a bit of a coffee snob -- I think with good reason, because good coffee is delicious whereas your typical cup of Joe is a rather bitter/sour cup of diesel. One of the reasons this place appealed to me so much is that they had a photo of latte art on their web site. To briefly explain, the importance of latte art is that being able to create drawings with the foamed milk in a latte means that the milk was perfectly foamed -- into velvety, creamy, smooth milk, instead of hot thin soap bubbles as most "frothed" milk at places like Starbucks is. It also means that if they care enough to make latte art, they probably also pull espresso shots with care, so that it's a rich, flavorful, concentrated shot, and not a thick bitter shot of mud. Well, surprise surprise, they did not actually do latte art, and in fact their espresso machine is a cheap department store steam machine. Think about it this way, about the espresso. Coffeeshops are like any other business -- they wouldn't spend money unless it made a difference. Even a crappy coffee place like Starbucks spends thousands on their espresso machines. Many places spend tens of thousands on industrial machines, and don't even know how to use them properly. This place had a $50 department store machine. There are dozens of reasons why this makes a difference -- just to give one, the bitterness from coffee comes partly from overheating it. Anything above 205F or so burns coffee. The industrial machines use pressure to drive water under 205F through the espresso grinds, whereas cheap machines use steam -- which is significantly hotter than 205F. Cheap machines by design burn coffee and create bitter espresso. Anyway, enough ranting. A disappointing place overall. You will do much better going down the street to Walgreen's and buying some Ben & Jerry's, and some Ho-Hos.

Fantastic! If you get tired of the bread from Publix, head down to Sweet Savannah's. Get there early, however - they tend to sell out early. The cupcakes are pretty much perfect. And don't get me started a out the cookies...

Staff was friendly. It was busy but got service within 5 minutes. Lots of ice cream, brownies, key lime pie and cupcakes and pastries to choose from. The key lime pie was AMAZING!!! Mocha cupcake was just okay but I have high standards my cupcakes. :) there is a garden in the back. We went at night and it was pretty.... Lit with white fairy lights and had a great quite atmosphere.

Great little bakery & ice cream shop in the Keys. We went here almost every day of a week stay. Great pastries in the morning - chocolate croissants, scones, and cinnamon rolls. We also bought some fantastic bread for sandwiches. Finally, the ice cream was very good, and they were open until 9 PM to accommodate the after-dinner crowd.

My husband and I stopped in at Savannah's for desert after eating dinner at King Seafood. What a pleasant experience! The shop was absolutely adorable, and the secret garden was a special surprise. We treated ourselves to the Heath Bar ice cream and a slice of Key Lime pie. The ice cream was by far the best we have ever had, extra creamy with lots of chocolate and caramel. The Key Lime pie was exceptional, also very creamy with homemade graham cracker crust! We will be back!

Well done! Owners are on premises almost always (at least one), so they do it for the love of baking. They sell out of the cupcakes every single day, so you know they are good.

All I can say is, $3.25 for an ordinary tasting, small cupcake? I can make two dozen just like it for the same price. There is nothing special about these cupcakes that make them worth that. Two thumbs down.

Open only 3 weeks as the kind of place that brings a smile to your tummy. Started by a former dolphin trainer (per the owner), with a partner, her home made truffle chocolate cupcakes were delicious. We also sampled a number of the 24 flavors of ice cream, brought in from a small batch maker in Miami, that was sweet and creamy. We would have given 5 stars if the ice cream was made on prem. Bathrooms were very clean and we were told there was a garden out back to sit and indulge.

I was in Marathon for the weekend, and I was looking forward to trying this place out. We tried visiting on Saturday, but they were closed for cleaning. On the way home to Miami, I convinced my boyfriend to pop in for a sweet treat for the road. It was delicious! I had the Coconut Joy, which had coconut and chocolate chips. YUM! The coconut ice cream was perfect, and I'm picky about coconut ice cream because it has the tendency to taste like sunscreen - yuck! But not this one, perfect balance of coconut and chocolate chips. My boyfriend tried the chocolate ice cream, which was deep and rich in its chocolate flavor - perfect for chocolate lovers. I saw they had a variety of baked goods as well - cookies, croissants, cupcakes, etc. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

While on the way to Miami we stopped at this place. What a delicious key lime pie! You should visit this place and enjoy summer garden tables in the back. Don't to try cappuccino and their delicious ice cream. I definitely will visit this place on my way to Keys!

After eating dinner and heading back to our hotel, we wanted ice cream (well most of us did). So, we stopped in. Boy were we glad we did! All of us were able to get what we wanted. The hubby had a piece of cheesecake, I had ice cream, the boy had a cupcake, and the girl had a cookie. Everything was spot on. I had a Cuban vanilla flavor (I can't remember the name) with dulce de leche. It was perfect. Key lime cooler was the cupcake. It's flavor was sweet and tart and great! The cookie chosen was snicker doodle and you can't go wrong with that. Banana cheesecake was the flavor for the Mr. He ate it all up. The gals there were very helpful and offered to let us try anything we wanted. When we come back through, we will definitely come here!

Stopped by to try other key lime products but still couldn't resist the lure of the key lime pie. I also tried the key lime bar & the key lime cupcake. The pie as always was perfection. The crust is a perfect blend between soft and crunchy with amazing Graham flavor. The bar was pretty delicious. It's very tart so if you're not a fan of super tart dessert, pass on this. I enjoyed it. The crust was amazing as well. The cupcake was the wild card. I didn't end up eating it until a week later but I'm so glad I got to try it. It was kind of like a jelly doughnut version of a cupcake with key lime filling. Flavor was great. Not a jelly doughnut fan so I'll pass on this next time. I always enjoy every trip here & hope that you will pay them a visit soon. You won't be sorry.

Kids loved their oreo cupcakes. I was disappointed with the serving size of the key lime pie. Maybe my expectations were too high after reading the prior reviews. Maybe I eat oversized servings of dessert. The key lime pie was good and tart. The crust was good and buttery. Apparently I am just a 2 pie slice kind of girl.
(4)Tracey Y.
Key Lime pie delicious! Coffee ugh, you should not try to sell Cafe Con Leche if you don't have the right coffee nor know how to make it.
(2)Christina V.
Warm gooey brownie with coconut and ganache, blueberry cheesecake, coconut ice cream... FIVE stars all around. The owner was a warm and friendly lady. She told us about the fresh cupcakes she makes with two different flavors each day. They looked so good! The ice cream was really delicious. As we were leaving I was watching her package the brownie and she told us to take one home. It was outstanding service. Will definitely go back next time I'm in the keys.
(5)Andy R.
BEST ICE CREAM IN THE KEYS! Hands down. Oreo Heath Bar.. Key Lime.. the sundaes... AMAZING baked goods... Outdoor garden seating.. A slice of refinement in an otherwise "whatever-goes" region. Love it
(5)Sami F.
My friends and I sinfully indulged in their AMAZING Key Lime Pie over the long weekend. We bought and ate 3 full pies from Sweet Savannah's during our weekend stay in the Keys... and even bought a fourth one to take back home! Needless to say the fourth one didn't last long when we got back to Miami!! Also, an extremely sweet staff to say the least, those girls hooked us up! (:
(5)Meridith Z.
Love this place! Ice cream is yummy and the cupcakes are fantastic! Always service with a smile. Tons of key lime goodies in the fridge to go. Prices are fair and they're open TIL 9! One star missing because they always run out of cupcakes, but I get they want them to be fresh.
(4)Shakira C.
I don't even have a sweet tooth and I loved everything at this place. I stopped here during a seafood/key lime tasting through the Keys adventure with my girlfriends. Their key lime pie was our favorite by far. It was tart but not overly so. And the graham cracker crust was pure perfection. Just to overdo things we also had the key lime bar and the key lime ice cream. All absolutely delicious. The set up is adorable as well. If I lived in the area I'd totally host a tea party there. It was very girly and us girls loved it.
(5)Grace C.
The ice cream was meh but the key lime pie was amazing. Service was a little slow but it's worth the wait.
(4)Laura M.
This place is adorable, the staff are quite pleasant and the ice cream is refreshing! I got birthday cake flavor with sprinkles. Yum
(5)Susan L.
Delicious key lime pie! Staff was really nice and they seemed to enjoy their jobs. Cute patio out in back.
(5)WanderLustinDani P.
I did a little research to find the best Key Lime Pie in Key West, TripAdvisor review was right on point!!! My only regret was not buyin a whole pie. They have other items as well, we sat out back to enjoy, which is decorated lovely. The staff was very nice and welcoming. I will B back for more....
(5)Iliana R.
This place is the freakin best. Best key lime pie I have ver had. Hands down. It is worth the $17. We bought three pies in a week!! It's the type of key lime that you can keep eating and not get repulsed after a couple of spoons. The crust is so yummy and crumbly and brown sugary They bake the best patties like fruit turnovers and fresh breads ! They had cheese bread and jalapeño cheese brad out one morning. To die for!! Their ice cream is delicious and creamy! It was my sons birthday while we were there and I had them make a s'mores flavored cake. I wanted a fishing theme so they added pictures of a mahi mahi on it. The cake was a hit! The chocolate was fluffy and moist and it had a marshmallow filling . Everyone that tried the key lime pie asked me where I got it so they went and bought their own. I'm forever faithful to Sweet Savannah's !
(5)Julie D.
Really good!! The cupcakes are moist and delicious. The chocolate peanut butter ice cream is rich, chocolaty, and peanut buttery. So good! Go if you don't want to pay restaurant prices for desserts but still want that yummy, undefinable quality that comes from buying a dessert rather than trying to make it yourself.
(5)Jessica G.
Best ice cream in the keys. I love taking my family after dinner for a nice treat. The chocolate peanut butter ice cream in a chocolate cookie bowl is my favorite. Also the cupcakes are very nasty with fun combinations of flavors to choose from.
(5)Kyle C.
Wow I didn't even think I liked Key Lime Pie. This was incredible. We are going back to buy a whole pie tomorrow! I licked the container clean! Slow line but was worth it.
(5)Rose R.
Cute little shop with some awesome sweets! There's toys and a small play area outside for the kiddos. I will definitely stop by one last time before we leave the keys!
(5)Christina D.
Great bakery if your looking for a beautiful wedding cake :) very tasty ! Red velvet cake is perfect not too sweet not to plain and the strawberries and cream flavor was a big hit too. They also make chocolate covered strawberries yummy!
(5)Lissette J.
OBSESSED! I would like to say I'm a some what of an ice cream connoisseur . I love stopping by moms' and pops' ice cream shops . I've had some all over the country . From coast to coast. This place is AMAZING! I've been going for three days straight . The ice cream is creamy and not too sweet - just the right amount . I've tried different flavors and all of them have not let me down. The mantecato is a must ! My husband loved the key lime . The coconut joy is freaking awesome and the strawberry shake is so delicious ! This place is a must if your staying in marathon. OH and the staff had always been soooo nice . Asking people where are they visiting from , and saying thank you and have a nice day to every client. Stop reading my review and just go already !
(5)Spencer F.
Chocolate ice cream in a cone was excellent Red velvet cupcake was great M'nm cookie was awesome It's in a good location on Overseas Highway Has a back patio Great place for some sweets Has cake, ice cream, pie, and cookies A good place for after a long day of work. Cheap price Would definitely recommend! All you need!
(4)Dan G.
We went for ice cream, but everything here is amazing! Simply walking in the door, you could smell the quality... and the long line tells you it's WORTH waiting for.
(5)Jack D.
Key lime pie! that was all I was going to say but yelp wanted more words so... KEY LIME PIE!
(5)Grace M.
The ice cream was rather good and I'll recomend the heath oreo, but the service was not so sweet. With a staff that consisted of two people talking about quitting and another who simply stared at us I felt awkward for wishing to have the ice cream they are supposed to be selling. Nevertheless, a place is different based on day and the product was fine.
(3)Casi K.
When my husband and I decided to try Sweet Savannah's it was around 8:15pm and realizing it closes at 9:00, we were worried it would be closed. However, when we got there, the line was out the door. Although there were only two people working, the line moved quickly and they were very friendly to everyone. My husband and I each got the "Sweet Savannah" which is a cupcake with ice cream and topped with whipped cream. I had the key lime cooler cupcake with birthday cake ice cream and my husband had the chocolate cupcake with dulce de leche ice cream. They were both so good! It was definitely worth the wait in line!
(5)Sarah F.
My husband and I always love to try the local ice cream places while we're on vacation and this one did not disappoint. I'm usually so predictable with my ice cream choices (coffee or some variation,) but all of their flavors encouraged me to try something new. They had an amazing sugar free cherry vanilla chip ice cream. I was so glad I got two scoops! The staff was attentive and accommodating. We would definitely return on our next trip to the Keys!
(4)Susan G.
Craving ice cream and saw the sign for Sweet Savannah's. 24 flavors served in a cone, cookie or cup. Picked sugar cones with chocolate-peanut butter ice cream and dulce de leche ice cream. Nice size scoop and quick service. Very happy with the choices. Also tried the key lime pie. Creamy lime filling on a thick graham cracker crust. It was good but a bit too sweet to be great.
(4)Cam B.
Good sweets. Cute shop. The key lime cup cake was very fresh and full of key lime. They offer lots of ice cream flavors.
(3)Michael F.
Consulted Yelp for Key Lime pie in Marathon and was steered to Savannah's. We were not disappointed. Pie was delicious, service was excellent, and the price was on point. Definitely would recommend!
(4)Abhi V.
Loved the ice creams and the key lime pie was fabulous. Also tried the bread pudding but a tad too sweet for me. Great stop to keep cool on the drive to Key West!
(5)Nathan R.
Good spot for ice cream, cupcakes and key lime pie. Check out the secret garden out back for a nice place to eat your ice cream.
(4)Ashlee W.
I found Sweet Savannah's a few years ago on a trip with my family, and I'm so excited to head back this year! The best cupcakes and ice cream bar I've ever had-the peanut butter cup sundae was absolutely amazing! Hot fudge and hot peanut butter with vanilla ice cream and mini peanut butter cups-my mouth is watering just typing about it! The key lime pie is for sure the best on the island, so be sure to stop in for a slice
(5)Susan S.
Best cupcake ever...key lime cupcake! Awesome restaurant with great service and huge variety.
(5)David A.
Had coffees and cookies. Nice little place with great rear patio area, but their chia tea was only that powered Big Train stuff (not Oregon Chai) and they couldn't make us a latte or mocha with non-fat milk (2% was as non-fat as they had). Still, we'd return for the cookies, which were delicious.
(4)James S.
I dont usually give five stars but this place is fabulous and the staff are outstanding. We stopped in to see about ordering a cake and ate two awesome cupcakes, salted chocolate and dulce. Oh my gosh....we both fell in love and cant wait to try the other flavors! We also bought some key lime cookies to take home and they were huge! I cant wait to pick up the cake next week as I'm sure it will be great too. They have special flavor cupcakes for each day of the week and the ladies are as sweet as their cupcakes!
(5)Chad B.
Service was horrible. Ended up walking out the door without ordering anything after waiting for 20 minutes as several individuals cut in front of me to order "coffee." The defining moment was when the teenager assisting people in the line rudely said to me that someone else would help me as he began helping the girls who cut in front of me. Too bad. The food items looked good, but the employees need training on some basic food service etiquette, especially if this business is going to charge $6.25 for an ice cream sandwich.
(1)Jeremy G.
This was a great stop with the family. Dozens of ice cream choices, and that awesome Key Lime Pie! Plus, there is a small outdoor seating patio with an area for kids.
(4)Anne F.
Stopped here after going to the beach - had a cone with Oreo and Heath Bar ice cream. Yum! Cute backyard patio.
(4)Lilian B.
I was visiting was from California and wasn't leaving the Keys without trying a Key lime pie. I loved it!!!!! ice cream was delicious and cupcakes were superb. and vey nice people behind the counter!
(5)Mitch K.
This is a great addition to the Marathon scene. From cupcakes to ice cream to key lime pie to coffees and espresso, they have everything to put a smile on your face. We tried four different cupcakes and the frosting they use on the red velvet cupcake is the BEST frosting I can ever remember having. The chocolate covered key lime pie was equally delicious, and I would have liked to try an ice cream sundae in a fresh chocolate chip cookie bowl, but sadly we ran out of vacation time. They offer specialty cupcakes on different days so make sure to check the board when you stop by.
(5)Melissa C.
We stop by here every year on vacation and it is great!!! Wish we had one of these in Daytona Beach!!! The ice cream is amazing! The girls working yesterday were very friendly as well!!
(5)Sivam R.
The best rum raisin ice cream... Also my wife has a gluten allergy they had gluten free key lime pie...
(5)SD C.
OMG! This place is amazing! Stopped in on our way to Key West and got two cupcakes (the Key Lime was our favorite), a key lime bar, and a cup of ice cream. Everything was fresh and wonderful! Recommend it very highly!
(5)Fred F.
Great place in Marathon!!! The ice cream was high quality and good assortment (24 flavors), key lime pie is excellent and the cup cakes have a flavor of the day to mix it up. Note - if you get a butter cream frosted cup cake let the frosting warm up a bit, it will be much smoother and creamier for sure! This place a great little gem and a solid stop for sweets!
(5)Angie B.
Great ice cream. Owners had shop closed for renovations and they opened it for us to get ice cream. They are making it even cuter than it already was. Key Lime and coconut flavored were to die for. Cute seating area out back. And really nice people.
(5)Katie W.
Really friendly staff and a lot of dessert/ice cream combo options. 3 stars for the ice cream. It was a little more icy than creamy. The Sweet and Salty cupcake was pretty good, though. If I go back, I would probably try a slice of their key lime pie with chocolate. That sounds amazing.
(3)Chet V.
Only tried the ice cream this time through but it was really good. Best of all was the hidden garden out back can't wait to get back and try one of the red velvet cupcakes are the key lime pie
(5)Kay P.
We stopped by to get coffee. Got iced coffee since it was an oven outside. The coffee was terrible. Maybe the ice creams are better but didn't try any. The staff was friendly though..
(2)Dawn M.
Great key lime pie; sweet atmosphere and kind people making real Food everyday. Well at least sweet treats. Open late too which was great for Driving back home. Love the local!!
(5)Lourdes G.
Adorable sweets shop in the Keys. Great to get some key lime pie, delectable brownie sundaes and a variety of cupcake and ice cream flavors. Prices are fair considering the theme and location, and they have an adorable gift shop area for the kiddos.
(4)Kip F.
The flavors were just ok. NO much variety on the day we went, but as it was really hot outside and we were rewarding ourselves for our walk, we did get a cool snack. I had the Cappuccino Chip with Chocolate Peanut Butter, which was good and while she gave me two bigger scoops than my spouse, she also gave me a broken sugar cone, so the scoops were almost falling out. My spouse got extra small scoops and while he thot the Dolce de Leche was great, the Key Lime pie flavor wasn't very good. For $3.50, my scoop was decent, his too small. My flavors were fine, no better or worse than the same ones at other places. However, she was serving us when a large group came in, and even tho there was someone else to help them, she got flustered. She was good about allowing us to taste different flavors, but with one, she actually dropped it into another flavor's container and offered it to us, which would have negated the whole idea of figuring out what the original flavor tasted like.
(2)Lillian B.
Absolutely the best key lime pie I've had. Staff is friendly and very welcoming. We will be back.
(5)Monica R.
The Key Lime Pie was amazing! We also had a red velvet cupcake that was very moist and yummy, two iced coffees hit the spot on our way back to Miami from Key West. The sign is super small, but it's totally worth it!
(5)Tanya S.
Wow, this place is great. The staff was very friendly and pleasant. We had 2 mint manias sundaes, one milkshake, and one sweet savannah sundae. All was some of the best we have ever had. Can't wait to come back. You will not be disappointed. Mint mania was chocolate mint ice cream, Oreo cookies, hot fudge and a chocolate mint on top. Sweet savannah had a cup cake on the bottom, ice cream, and a topping of your choice. Yum!
(5)Jen N.
Pastries!!! Savory and sweet!!! Didn't try the coffee. Would love to see more variety. But the cinnamon roll was perfect and they custom placed the icing for me- I wanted less. The feta and spinach croissant was savory and not too salty!!! Delicious!
(5)Marilyn C.
Yum! These were some of the best cupcakes I have ever had. There were some good flavor combos. This place is your standard ice cream/cupcake place with a young girl working at the counter. She wasn't overly friendly or helpful, but she was was certainly capable of basic customer service. Glad I stopped by.
(4)Debbie P.
Best ice cream I've had in a while. The staff was very friendly and conversant both times we were in there on our vacation. The key lime pie was a huge hit with our family. Definitely a must if you're passing through Marathon.
(5)Florence S.
The cup cakes were small and pretty much tasteless, if it weren't for the teaspoon of filling in it, it would have been totally tasteless. Save your money and go to Publix for a real cupcake and ice cream for a quater of the price, and 100% better taste.
(1)Travis F.
Great ice cream, and excellent cup cakes. A little spendy, but worth it.
(4)Austin D.
Excellent ice cream.
(5)Gustavo K.
Well, great place. Great Ice Creams, Coffee and Cookies. Plus, gorgeus and super friendly girls serving! Don't miss it.
(5)David S.
I stopped here after dinner and sunset at Keys Fisheries for some type of key lime dessert. It was alright. I had the key lime and strawberry cupcake. The strawberry filling was great and the cupcake was light. However, while the frosting had a good taste, it had a gritty texture and way too much on the cupcake. After removing some of the frosting it was a better experience.
(3)Eva J.
Great cake!!! Wow! So moist and lovely design! Hawk's Cay ordered the cake from here for a birthday celebration we had during our stay. Everyone raved about how great the cake was. The buttercream frosting was delicious! Will have to check out shop when we get back down there.
(5)Gina N.
Went here three times during our week in Marathon- yummy every time! The staff was friendly and the ice cream delicious! We didn't try the baked good but they looked quite yummy!
(4)Jamie C.
The Dulce de Leche ice cream was out of this world!!! Delicious!!! Wish I could go back for more right now as I write this review. Nice little place and some cute little books and stuff for kids. I bought my little boy an adorable pirate book because I just couldn't resist.
(4)Brittany D.
A cute shop that's easy to find right off the main highway in Marathon. Staff is friendly and they have a large selection of cupcakes and treats to choose from. I bought 2 cupcakes and a cookie to share with my family about $10. The cupcakes were very average, nothing special that I couldn't make myself. I ordered the sweet and salty cupcake (after having a few in the past from other cupcake bakeries) and it tasted just like a chocolate cupcake, not sweet and salty at all.
(2)April A.
Cute little place with some deliciously tempting cupcakes!! But we were in the mood for ice cream. Chose chocolate peanut butter swirl and Oreo to share with the BF. The Oreo was sweet and yummy, the chocolate PB was more chocolate and not enough PB. I ordered an iced pumpkin chai, but I didn't like the flavor. The woman helping us was more than happy to take it off the bill. I was very impressed with that. Great customer service, OK ice cream.
(3)Lisa W.
Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! We stopped here several times while vacationing in the Keys! Key lime pie was amazing! The cupcakes were good - great flavors! The ice cream, while not made on site, was good. The garden out back was adorable - definitely stay and eat in the garden! Like any places in the Keys, they charge tourists more than locals!
(4)Buster H.
Very clean place with nice seating in the back. Not too friendly however. When I asked what kind of coffee they served the lady said regular and decaf .... hmmmm Also one of the sales folks asked how some teethmarks got into her display cupcake. Sort of strange. Also a "sliver" of key lime pie set me back close to four dollar$ ...... it was just OK
(2)Brian F.
Great place to stop for a sweet treat.
(4)Dan R.
This was a neat clean looking shop. The staff did a nice job in serving us, they had a good variety of flavors, and the hand dipped ice cream was firm. The only disappointment was the waffle cone. It was small and obviously mass produced some where else. overall a very nice experience l.
(4)leanne d.
I contacted Sweet Savannah's about doing two (2) birthday cakes as well as some gluten free cupcakes. The owners were very responsive and easy to work with regarding my order. Everything was exactly as ordered and delicious. The gluten free cupcakes tasted just like the tried and true. Ordered the Dulce and Key Lime cakes and they tasted great. Thanks.
(4)Bernard S.
Excellent cupcakes, ice cream, sandwiches and coffee Fantastic secret garden, lots of shade
(5)Greg S.
Small, cute little place you should stop in for a mid-day snack (well key lime snack...you are in The Keys). Had the privilege to talk to the owner and she was great. These are the types of places we should all want to thrive.
(5)Mike S.
Wife and I stopped in while on a drive up from Key West...great ice cream and really friendly service! Super clean inside and smelled delicious as soon as you open the door. Had pumpkin ice cream that was uniquely good. Nice little garden in the back to enjoy your treats!
(4)Carol H.
Very good, the key lime cupcake was amazing!!
(5)J C.
Fantastic key lime pie. Lovely little shop, friendly service. Looking forward to returning soon!
(4)Carlos L.
This place was such a huge letdown. It was fairly expensive for just one cupcake, but our cupcake had several hairs in it. And our replacement red velvet cupcake was hard, tasteless, and stale.
(2)J C.
When you walk into this place, you will think "2 stars?! This isn't some low budget snack shack!" But that's exactly why I give it 2 stars and not 3 ... because for a place made out to be a very cute and well designed gourmet dessert shop, the actual food was disappointingly bad. First of all, the ice cream was mediocre at best. The flavors were pretty standard and uninspired -- which would be ok if their standard flavors were exceptionally good. I like chocolate and strawberry as much as anything else. But the ice cream was not very creamy, and a little icy. The more inspired flavors, which sounded great, were not very flavorful at all and just tasted like sugar cream. I would say nowhere as good as stuff you could buy at the store, like Ben & Jerry's. Secondly, the portions were tiny. A single scoop was a tiny scoop -- although admittedly this seemed to be dependent on the person serving it. One person's scoops were at least 50% larger than the other's. Third, they pride themselves in their baked goods, but they were quite disappointing. The brownies were a little overly sweet and underly [sic] chocolatey. I had a sweet & salty cupcake with my ice cream -- chocolate with salted caramel filling. It was very sweet with a shortage of flavor ... none of the deep rich caramel and chocolate, and more like standard cheap convenience store chocolate. Fourth, the presentation did not meet up to their advertising or their decorations. The brownie sundae (something hard to mess up) consisted of a few sparse pieces of their very thin/flat brownies in a plastic banana split boat, 3 small scoops of ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream. Now, those are the right components ... but they looked like lonely islands of anorexic dessert in that boat. There was no flair at all. I ordered the "Sweet Savannah", which was a cupcake with a scoop of ice cream and a topping. I expected a delectable creation, but got literally what was described -- minus the topping. They plopped a cupcake (with its paper cup still attached) in a plastic cup, plopped a small scoop of ice cream on top of the icing, and that was it. No topping, no fanfare, no removing the paper first. Eating the Sweet Savannah was a terrible experience. The ice cream promptly melted into the paper, and while trying to remove the paper, the entire cupcake crumbled into mush. The icy ice cream then mixed in with the thick sickly sweet (and relatively flavorless) icing. Lastly, anyone who has read my coffeeshop reviews would know I'm a bit of a coffee snob -- I think with good reason, because good coffee is delicious whereas your typical cup of Joe is a rather bitter/sour cup of diesel. One of the reasons this place appealed to me so much is that they had a photo of latte art on their web site. To briefly explain, the importance of latte art is that being able to create drawings with the foamed milk in a latte means that the milk was perfectly foamed -- into velvety, creamy, smooth milk, instead of hot thin soap bubbles as most "frothed" milk at places like Starbucks is. It also means that if they care enough to make latte art, they probably also pull espresso shots with care, so that it's a rich, flavorful, concentrated shot, and not a thick bitter shot of mud. Well, surprise surprise, they did not actually do latte art, and in fact their espresso machine is a cheap department store steam machine. Think about it this way, about the espresso. Coffeeshops are like any other business -- they wouldn't spend money unless it made a difference. Even a crappy coffee place like Starbucks spends thousands on their espresso machines. Many places spend tens of thousands on industrial machines, and don't even know how to use them properly. This place had a $50 department store machine. There are dozens of reasons why this makes a difference -- just to give one, the bitterness from coffee comes partly from overheating it. Anything above 205F or so burns coffee. The industrial machines use pressure to drive water under 205F through the espresso grinds, whereas cheap machines use steam -- which is significantly hotter than 205F. Cheap machines by design burn coffee and create bitter espresso. Anyway, enough ranting. A disappointing place overall. You will do much better going down the street to Walgreen's and buying some Ben & Jerry's, and some Ho-Hos.

Fantastic! If you get tired of the bread from Publix, head down to Sweet Savannah's. Get there early, however - they tend to sell out early. The cupcakes are pretty much perfect. And don't get me started a out the cookies...
(5)Stephanie H.
Staff was friendly. It was busy but got service within 5 minutes. Lots of ice cream, brownies, key lime pie and cupcakes and pastries to choose from. The key lime pie was AMAZING!!! Mocha cupcake was just okay but I have high standards my cupcakes. :) there is a garden in the back. We went at night and it was pretty.... Lit with white fairy lights and had a great quite atmosphere.
(4)Matthew S.
Great little find near our rental house. Awesome cupcakes, excellent ice cream and friendly service. Highly recommend.
(5)Jay P.
Great little bakery & ice cream shop in the Keys. We went here almost every day of a week stay. Great pastries in the morning - chocolate croissants, scones, and cinnamon rolls. We also bought some fantastic bread for sandwiches. Finally, the ice cream was very good, and they were open until 9 PM to accommodate the after-dinner crowd.
(5)Veronica K.
My husband and I stopped in at Savannah's for desert after eating dinner at King Seafood. What a pleasant experience! The shop was absolutely adorable, and the secret garden was a special surprise. We treated ourselves to the Heath Bar ice cream and a slice of Key Lime pie. The ice cream was by far the best we have ever had, extra creamy with lots of chocolate and caramel. The Key Lime pie was exceptional, also very creamy with homemade graham cracker crust! We will be back!
(5)Charlie F.
Well done! Owners are on premises almost always (at least one), so they do it for the love of baking. They sell out of the cupcakes every single day, so you know they are good.
(5)Lisa R.
All I can say is, $3.25 for an ordinary tasting, small cupcake? I can make two dozen just like it for the same price. There is nothing special about these cupcakes that make them worth that. Two thumbs down.
(1)shaw g.
Open only 3 weeks as the kind of place that brings a smile to your tummy. Started by a former dolphin trainer (per the owner), with a partner, her home made truffle chocolate cupcakes were delicious. We also sampled a number of the 24 flavors of ice cream, brought in from a small batch maker in Miami, that was sweet and creamy. We would have given 5 stars if the ice cream was made on prem. Bathrooms were very clean and we were told there was a garden out back to sit and indulge.
