Fast Buck Freddie’s

Closed as of July 3, 2012, sorry to report.

For finer home goods, this is a great spot, also, a great gift place for just about anyone on your list. A little pricey, but you’re in key west. You sound surprised? if you want a glittery fat mermaid statue, or a silver bird to use as a cheese knife, come here. you want cheap key west t-​shirts that say drunk 1, drunk 2… go ANYWHERe else on the island.

It’s the ultimate anything and everything store that has been a key west staple for at least a couple decades.
From the outside the building give a vibe of a «keys» version of famous NYC window displays except these are a bit more colorful, fun and sometimes a bit flamboyant, but always tastefully done. The displays change periodically and always relate to the life in the keys. The colors and flags make a bold statement compared the «blah» commercial chains that are taking over Duval Street.
Always will be someone near the entrance to say hello, how are you and offer a hand in locating anything special but never pushy. You can’t help but have your eyes wondering all over with so many colors and quirky items. You can’t walk 10 feet without finding something that catches your eye from colorful knick knacks to wicker chairs to classy dress shirts to holiday displays to children’s toys/​gifts to asian influenced furniture to modern light fixtures to odd art work to unique mirrors to rare re-​makes of classic bags (Pan Am carry-​on luggage) to high-​tech watches to unusual patio chairs and so much more. It’s like a department store for the person who wants what no one else has and this is the place to find just that.
It’s a wee bit expensive for the more lavish items so I can’t give that last star; BUT whoever is in charge of buying their product lines and displaying/​decorating the store… thumbs up to you

My favorite store in the Keys. Always found something for myself, the house, and also a great place to find the perfect gift. Great selection and awesome window displays!

Cool stuff, but way overpriced. A Duval St. tourist shop.

Interesting… it’s like a mini department store of apparel and gifts from touristy to higher end. My friend purchased a wooden, hand-​carved door stopper. The recipient loved it.

If you ever find yourself walking down Duval St make sure to stop in here! Fast Buck Freddies truly has it all. This is not another t-​shirt shop… they sell it all from luxury, Tommy Bahama, gifts, gags, holiday, and everything in between. I really miss living in the Keys to shop here for my Christmas gifts!

This place is a fun store with everything you could imagine. I actually saw some really cool furniture and lamps in there but had no idea how I would get them back to Boston so didn’t inquire about them. But there really is something for everyone here. It is a nice store to stop in whenever you walk by, but it wasn’t that exciting to me.
Also when you walk in they have pictures of «Yesterday» and «Today.» They had Rock Hudson as «Yesterday» and Tom Cruise from Risky Business for «Today.» Someone needs to send them a memo because pretty sure Risky Business is from like 1983 which is 27 years ago and definitely not «Today.»

This is a fun store and always really COOL, as in air conditioned! A really nice break from the heat and this store has something for everyone! You go from luxury items to fart machines in this place. As mentioned in a previous review, their Christmas ornaments are fantastic! Their clothing is very tropical and comfy! A great place to pick up stuff for the family and friends that not just touristy crap.

Stopped in today. They have Christmas ornaments 50% off. So much fun stuff… so little money.

Good times, great assortment. High fives on quirky gifts to bring home to friends.
I just wish they offered more than short-​shorts for us boys to sunbathe in.

Don’t be fooled by the exterior of the shop and the sign outside. Its not a lame store. Inside its actually pretty cool and there are a lot of nick-​nacks to buy. The prices vary from cheap to super expensive. The products in this store a higher end compared to a lot of the other gift shops around the area. Its worth it to check it out. Service is also good.

I Love this store. I always have to shop here when in Key West. They have many great gifts for everyone on your list. An amazing emporium of fine clothing, home decorations and gifts that townsfolk call the «Southernmost Bloomingdale’s»
Don’t forget to visit their little sister store at 726 Caroline Street its called Half Buck Freddie’s, Yes it’s the bargain Freddie :)
