Good Girl Juice & Cafe

About a month ago, I called The Trading Post from my partner’s bedside in a WV Neurological Critical Care Unit. I explained that his favorite Trading Post t-shirt got ripped when we took him to the emergency room for a head injury. I was hoping they had one in stock so I could replace it, but the rip was at the neckline and I couldn’t tell what size to order. The gentleman who answered was so incredibly kind, explained that he knew the exact shirt, but that they were low on stock at the moment and expected more to be in soon. He took my phone number, said that he hoped he experiences a full recovery, and that he'd call me back once more shirts were available. He called last week, said the shirts were in and asked for my address. Once I gave it, he said he was sending two shirts since I couldn’t tell which size we needed, so of course I grabbed my credit card. He declined to take the number and simply said he hopes he’s doing better. I replied that he is, and asked him to please allow me to at least pay for one shirt and the postage, but he just wouldn’t take any payment. The package just arrived, and we’re absolutely overwhelmed by their kindness and generosity. There are two shirts as promised, but also two hats, two Pirani insulated cups, Key Lime taffy, and a lovely handwritten note! This morning before the mail arrived, I attended a ribbon cutting for a local shop. Since USPS had just notified me by email that the package was coming, it was on my mind when I ran into our mayor. So I told him the story of the kind phone call and we agreed how vital and rewarding it is to support small businesses. When I opened the package just now, this is what I texted to him: "Remember the surprise I said was coming in the mail today? Look what they sent! The postage alone was almost $13, and they wouldn’t take a dime! THIS is the reason to support small businesses…big box stores can’t love you back!” I never got the name of the gentlemen who returned my call, and he had no way of knowing who I am...or even if the story I told him was true. But he didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile to show kindness to a customer he’s probably never even met. When we visited Islamorada, we shopped at The Trading Post because we could tell that it was a family owned business and a local treasure. We had no idea how much of a treasure it is until now. May the kindness that The Trading Post spreads keep returning to them!

Great place and super convenient. Open 24 hours which is a huge plus if you are coming into the keys early or late. Also a huge plus for runners and crews before, after or during the Keys 100 ultra marathon races each May. Huge sub sandwiches from the deli that are made fresh and are priced very well. Key lime pies and frozen key lime pie covered in chocolate are two must purchases for anyone who visits the Keys.

Fun shop! Avoid the key lime pie at all costs, it's terrible! The ladies at the checkout were so kind.

Fantastic place with super friendly and helpful staff. The homemade sandwiches to go in the Deli are large and really delicious! Made to order the way you want them and ready when they say they will be ready. We always order sandwiches the night before and they are ready by 6AM for our fishing trips. Great place, handy and super convenient. Open 24 hours also.

Trading Post and their staff were amazing. We got married back in February and needed beer, wine, sodas and ice delivered to our wedding venue. They came through amazingly. A special thanks to the whole staff. It made it so stress free for myself and my husband. Highly recommend ordering from them. Great small business with awesome customer service. Thank you again:)
