After watching an episode of The Profit with Marcus Lemonis some years ago, I placed Key West Key Lime Pie Company on my list of places to visit. I went to the shop and it is quaint with an assortment of merchandise for sale. Miniature cookies are in jars to sample, and I tried a few. I really liked the brown sugar and cinnamon, as well as the chocolate chip. I would have purchased a package of one or both if the price was not $9.95 each. The cost is outrageous and I cannot believe they move that much product daily, weekly or monthly to substantiate the cost. I am of the mindset that just because people are on vacation, retailers should not stick them with outrageous prices just because they can, but reasonably price merchandise. Plenty of people are like me and will keep their money to spend on something that is worthwhile and affordable.
Since the Key West Key Lime Pie Company is on my list of places to visit and I have never had key lime pie, I purchased an over-priced slice for $6.00. However, I after walking by more than six stores with Key Lime Pie in the name, $6.00 seems to be the going price. The slice that I ate was too tart and the lime juice used was a little off-putting; however, when combined with the whipped cream that it was topped with the flavor was more palatable. Also, the graham crust was absolutely delicious, fresh and crisp. I could eat the graham crust all by itself.
