Key Lime Pie - Blonde Giraffe Key West
Blonde Giraffe Key Lime Pie Factory
1209 Truman Ave
Key West, FL
We went down to Key West last week and decided to sample the local specialty : Key Lime Pie. The Blonde Giraffe is supposedly the best award winning key lime pie around. There’s like 3 or 4 locations on the small island of Key West .
Blonde Giraffe Key Lime Pie Factory sells pies by the whole or by the slice:
They also have a great new variety - Key Lime Pie on a stick dipped in chocolate:
The important “key” to Key lime pie or any other citrus type pie is really the filling. Since limes and lemons are naturally sour, you need to find the right balance of sugar. Finally a crust that gives a soft crunch is needed to balance out the creamy filling and provide flavors on the savory side. The Blonde Giraffe key lime pie, in my opinion is a little too much on the sweet side for my taste.
The pie on the stick however was just perfect.
It’s also on a thick graham cracker crust which the original normal key lime pie is not. It’s not too sweet or sour and the chocolate gives it more of a rounded dessert taste. Hmmm why don’t they do this for other types of cakes or pies? That’s a great idea that I’ll have to look into.

Whatever you do, DO NOT order from the blond giraffe website. I’ve just had a very unpleasant experience with them. When my order was still “pending” after several days since I’d placed the order, I contacted them and they changed it to “processing”. After more than a week and the order hadn’t shipped I told them to cancel it at which time they responded very rudely and were unprofessional. You’re better off buying a plane ticket to fly down to Key West and buy their products in person. I was in Key West and their key lime pie was excellent but their customer service people are not. I should have purchased my goodies while I was down there.

I was just at the website. Too costly to order or justify the experience of eating key lime pie on a stick or otherwise. Why not make your own and dip it? That’s what I’m going to do.

I got married in Key West this past July and sampled the Key Lime Pie from the Blonde Giraffe. This was by far the best Key Lime Pie I have ever tasted. I’m not generally a Key Lime Pie lover, but this pie changed my opinion. It had the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Also, the frozen pie on a stick dipped in chocolate is a refreshing and perfect treat on a hot Key West day. We intend to order some of this pie and have it delivered to our home for our first anniversary. Stop at the Blonde Giraffe when you visit Key West. You won’t be sorry!!

I tasted Key Lime Pie on a Stick (several times!) while I was in the Keys a couple of years ago. I fell in love! Unfortunately, I, too, cannot justify the cost of having it shipped to me!

Remember that although the pie on a stick is really yummy, it can cost nearly $150 to ship. That is in addition to the price of the pies.
