Key Lime Pie

For anyone that has had key lime pie from Publix and Buddy’s, which was best?

When it comes to Key Lime Pie in Panama City Beach, both Publix and Buddy’s are popular options, but they offer slightly different experiences.

Publix Key Lime Pie is widely available and convenient for a quick purchase. It tends to have a creamy, tart filling with a graham cracker crust and is consistent in quality. Many people enjoy it for its accessibility and familiar taste.

Buddy’s, on the other hand, is a local bakery/dessert shop known for a more homemade feel. Their Key Lime Pie often features a slightly tangier flavor and a crust that is sometimes more buttery and flaky than the standard graham cracker crust from Publix. It is often praised for its freshness and authentic taste.

Consider these points:

  • Publix: Convenient, consistent, milder tartness, easy to pick up at any store.
  • Buddy’s: More authentic, tangier, fresher, may have more distinctive crust and flavor.

For those seeking convenience and reliability, Publix is a good choice. For a more “local” and slightly more intense Key Lime Pie experience, Buddy’s is often preferred by locals and tourists looking for a dessert with character.
