“What a little hidden gem of a spot! My friends who own a place in the middle Keys recommended this area to stop for some cool shopping and coffee. At first we actually passed the parking lot...I'd be surprised if other people did as well! The Village Square entrance is a bit set in through a gate in a fence...very inconspicuous if you don't know it's there. So we made a u-turn and headed back...My first stop was the Miss Monroe Boutique as I was looking for a certain kind of bag that I wanted to buy. Very cute store - like a mix of Etsy and Lily Pulitzer...unique and distinct items. From there we walked around and checked out all the cool vendor stalls...My favorite was the plants - so beautiful and lush...macrame holders, etc....We also went to Cafe Moka for a coffee and a snack. We sat down in the garden to enjoy our small meal and then we headed on our way...We will definitely stop here again!”
“Love love love DePaula Jewelers there! It's the best place to find affordable OR fabulous pieces for those special folks in your life. Family owned and operated, the DePaulas are Keys people! Stop in for a look, you'll be glad you did.”
“We're more than thrilled we chose Pasta's art work to be displayed in our new home. Pasta's work embodies coastal living in Florida. Although we live in Naples FL, we love our weekend trips to the Keys and wanted art in our home that was meaningful to the place we love to vacation. His wife, Angela walked us around the gallery and was super helpful, down to earth and efficient when we ordered a few custom size paintings. Even when we picked up our art, we happen to meet Pasta himself, who was just as down to earth, easy to talk to and someone we'd felt we knew for years! Whether your an angeler or just a nature lover, his art will speak to you. We loved every piece of art in the gallery, from his powerful fish, to elegant landscapes and even beautiful sea life; truly every piece done by Pasta is downright remarkable. Our only problem now is figuring out which piece of art we will choose next! Thank you Pasta and Angela, for such a delightful experience.”
