“Vichino’s has hands down the best iced lattes in all of Lee County! While you’re there, do yourself a favor and grab a pizza sandwich—and don’t skip dessert (the maple bacon cinnamon roll is life-changing 😋). Looking for something fun? Join one of their wine tastings or stop by for Music Trivia with the one and only DJ Darren! Kevin and Shannen treat everyone like family, so whether you’re a local or just passing through, make Vichino’s a must-visit stop!“

“Stop by after workout, 1st time visiting, Staff and one of the owners walked me thru menu. Great smoothie and wife got an Acai bowl. Loved that they still tasted sweet without a ton of sugar like other places! Sat and talked a while, great people too, the kind you want to give return business too!

Dietary restrictions: I have celaic, so gluten free isn't just a request it is a must, a lot of gluten free option and they understand about cross Contamination.“

“This place is such a wonderful mom and pop breakfast and lunch restaurant! Carole served us up some delicious “Stackers” and OJ. Everything was prepared fresh to order and perfectly to our liking. We have had multiple work associates recommend this place and we were definitely not disappointed. We will certainly be back! On top of all of that - Thank you Carol for taking care of me today when I forgot my purse in my post-surgery haze! You really went above and beyond to find me and get it back to me and the Get Well treats were so very sweet of you to include! ❤️ The world needs more people like you!“

Highly recommend this place and everything we had was delicious. Can’t wait to go back when we are back in town. From her Georgia Customers Stephanie & Jonathan Sims“

“My friends and I have been coming to Sanibel for 24 years. This year was hard for me personally. Recently diagnosed with Alpha Gal a severe allergy to many things including meat dairy eggs and others. Already was allergic to gluten. I was afraid I wouldn't have food options on the island until I found The Sanibel Sprout. Their coconut bacon BLT saved my life and I went there 5 out of 7 days. The ladies there are amazing and they even have Bible verses painted on shells you can buy. I would highly recommend and just wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of me!“

“Delicious authentic German food with a great variety of different items. The owners and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing bread and pastries“

“We had dinner here for our family and group of 11 people. The hostess who sat our group needs some training as she wasn’t friendly and didn’t bring enough silverware or menus. We had to go back up front to ask for 6 more menus even though all 11 of us sat down together and were brought to the tablet by that hostess. They do allow you to order sushi from the Shima sushi restaurant which is nice if you don’t want anything from the cafe menu. It is unfortunate that you can’t get any of the Hibachi from Shima which is about 30 feet from Cafe, unless you go and sit at Shima. They should fix that as Shima doesn’t allow for more than 8 people to a table so it doesn’t work for large groups as you have to be split up. And they don’t let you get any hibachi from there to be sent over to Cafe. Our server for Cafe was nice he was just very busy as being the only one working that night so he was not able to give us as much attention as we need. The food from Cafe was fine, nothing to rave about and really mention. We just wanted to try this place since we were staying there on property and didn’t feel like driving that night. We wouldn’t go back to this place as there are better options. It’s just ok and that’s about it.“

“Vacationed here and was so happy to found this place - the food was so delicious, and our server Jennifer was so attentive. Thank you for a memorable experience!“

“Great country fried steak“

“We arrived about 45minutes before closing + they (about 3 staff members) were doing their clean up. We said we’d hurry and sit outside. They were so kind and reminded us that they didn’t close until 2 and that we were more than welcome to stay inside if we wanted to. They even told us about the park across the street, as we were visiting with young kiddos. Very friendly staff, welcoming environment, + their cold brew with oat milk was absolutely delicious!! Our 7-year daughter got a smoothie + ? from her as well. Thanks!!“

“Wondering atmosphere, very nice staff and delicious food. We came on Friday and it was 11 of us. Food came quickly ? I would eat here again.“

“Friendly great service. Cyclist friendly 👍 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food is very good. Drink specials can’t be beat. The reason for this review is the employees, kind, and professional. Today Sky assisted me and as usual, went above and beyond with her courteous and helpful manner. Greeted and thanked with a smile, and was able to correct my mistake when ordering on the app. A place you feel welcomed because of people like her. Thank you“
