Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pie

Lonely Planet

People sit at picnic tables outside a redbrick building with a green sign for Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pie.

The "key’" to Floridian Steve Tarpin's terrifically tangy custard pies? Real lime juice. Line up at the tiny counter for a personal 4-in pie with a buttery graham-cracker crust, or order try the Swingle – a frozen mini-pie dipped in chocolate and eaten like an ice-cream bar. It’s the perfect summer treat while strolling Valentino Pier for harbor views.
