645425 Mon Aug 17 17:25:54 -0700 2009 24 10 Florida 0 4954334 Hi all, I am looking for the best key lime pie in Miami or the Keys. Preferably graham pie, intense lime flavour, tartness and a perfect meringue topping. What are your suggestions? TIA Mon Aug 17 17:25:54 -0700 2009 12421 hungryann 1 4954563 THE BLONDE GIRAFFE ON US1 IN SOUTH MIAMI, BUT FOR QUALITY AND CONSISTENCY AND AVAILABILITY HIT UP PUBLIX EARLY IN THE DAY Mon Aug 17 18:56:30 -0700 2009 4954334 1095207 seminole phil 2 4954634 The Blonde Giraffe looked a little gimmicky to me...is it the real deal? I saw some excellent looking pies in Publix and Fresh Market but didn't know if that was really the best around. I will pick one up from Fresh Market Mon Aug 17 19:33:42 -0700 2009 4954563 12421 hungryann 3 4955111 The Blonde Girraffe is the real deal. They are one of the favorite establishments to buy a Key Lime Pie in the Keys and Key West. Tue Aug 18 04:03:27 -0700 2009 4954634 15229 Suzie 4 4955674 Good to know, I'll pop in for a slice. Tue Aug 18 08:17:54 -0700 2009 4955111 12421 hungryann 5 4988103 And just for those who get stumped looking for The Blonde Giraffe on US1, it changed its name to Key Lime Pie Factory awhile back, but it's the same owners-recipe of Key West's Blonde Giraffe. I think their pie knocks the crab shells out of Joe's (which I never got to try until AFTER the original pie guy passed away -- so maybe it was better back then). Then again, I'll also confess to liking the chocolate-dipped key lime slices they occassionally sell at Key Lime Pie Factory, so I'll lose points with the purists. Heck, I'll lose all credibility at this point and say that one of the tastiest pie revelations is the Mango Key Lime Pie that they sometimes sell at Publix. At least it's better than the regular key lime they sell there.

Did she leave again? I know she left once, but I thought she was back earlier this year. I wonder what happened? :( Tue Aug 18 07:18:56 -0700 2009 4955251 177881 sweet_polly 2 4963695 I was going to post La Te Da's pie too. Loved it.

I'm surprised it took this long to get mentioned. I know many northerners who have it shipped up at least once a year to cure their cravings for it. At nearly $70 for a pie (including overnight delivery), I think it speaks for their opinions on the quality.

That stuff is great! :-) Fri Aug 21 09:42:20 -0700 2009 4954334 206880 rainroosty 1 4968078 I recently sampled Kenny's Key Lime Pie at this year's Mango Festival at Fairchild Tropical Garden. The pie was just as a key lime pie should be - not too sweet, not too tart, with the wonderful tang of real lime juice. Their Mango Pie was the best mango inspired dessert at this year's festival by far. Whole Foods markets carries their pies in the Miami area. Locally, the best key lime pies I have tried are at Houston's Restaurant with its sweet, crumbly, super buttery graham cracker crust and at Garcia's Seafood Restaurant on the Miami River. Garcia's key lime pies are made in-house from scratch - they are the real deal!
