“Food is homemade and delicious. Cheaper for me to feed the family then the supermarket A lifesaver close by. Thank you Sunflower Cafe see you again tonight for dinner“

“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!“

“I've been here a few times and always have great service and food. Haven't had something from the menu that I didn't like especially the surprise desserts. Our daughter loves the smoothie bowls and little play area. This is a nice relaxing spot for really good Vegan food.“

“Went for breakfast....cafe con leche dulce y claro was on point! Didn't have to explain....dulce y claro...it was perfect. Las tostadas...perfect, bread soft and delicious. I sat outside and the food was brought out to me. Beautiful place and service. I went to work with a smile 😃“

“This Cafe was so good that we visited it twice during our week on Sanibel Island! The breakfasts were delicious, and the lunch menus were, too! (Breakfast is available all day…to 2 pm!) Everyone from the servers to the cooks to the checkout people were super-friendly. The servings are generous and the tables are unique objects of art, having designs of shells under glass. I also picked up a beautiful handmade pottery mug from a resident artist at the checkout!“

“Omg! Me and my husband visited for the first time and we fell in love 😻 The food was soooo good! And the vibe was beautiful 😻 we will be back.“

“An absolute gem 💎 in Fort Myers! Great coffee, delicious food, and an awesome atmosphere. I stopped in for lunch and stumbled upon $1 tacos… what a treat! I had the hard shell with a mix of beef and chicken, and let me tell you — some of the best tacos I’ve had in a while! 🌮 The salsa was on point too! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Now I’ve gotta run… it’s time for trivia! 🎉“

“Oh, I so hope the best for the owner rebuilding this perfect restaurant after vicious Ian. This place rates a 5 in all areas! I breakfast here basically every morning regardless how many weeks I stay on Sanibel. Good luck and I’ll be back as soon as possible!??“

“I am greeted by the always smiling and always high energy staff/owner. I love their smoothies, especially the no sugar protein smoothie. Big Energy Cafe is one of the places I look forward to visiting multiple times while in Ft Myers. I always leave there with a smile and a kind word.“

“Such a cozy little bakery with the warmest, friendliest staff (and owner!)—you can really feel the care that goes into everything they do. The pastries are absolutely delicious, whether you’re grabbing something for a beach day, bringing a hostess gift, or just treating yourself midday. It’s also a great little spot for lunch. Love supporting local businesses like this!“

“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!“

“When I say this place is chill and the bomb. You’ve got to experience the vibes on a regular basis. Okay here is the of everyone that is amazing, attentive and memorable: Todd (assistant/bar assistant) Josephine (bartender), Chef Josh (no words but maybe just one, amazing) Darlene (bartender). Please SUPPORT!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED“

“Such a cut place. It is good to go to places that take pride in their business. The detail of the food and atmosphere is appreciated.
The only thing I personally don’t like is dogs being allowed. Love dogs. Just don’t believe they belong inside a food establishment.“

“Todo excelente buen trato y rapidísimo“

“100% always recommend. You’re paying for great coffee and great vibes ❤️“

“Our 1st time here. Everything was phenomenal. From Haley, Albert and Adrianna provided exceptional service. They are out to please. You can see they all love what they do. Hard to find friendly and enjoyable service. I highly recommend their tasty food and great coffee.“

“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!“

“The food was delicious and the service was great.🥰“

“This is the nicest, cleanest place I have ever been to for breakfast. The staff is great and the food is wonderful! I have never had a bad meal!“

“Went on a vacation to Sanibel Island and by far the best food! As a vegan, it’s difficult to eat out and not always the best tasting, but the food here was some of the best I’ve ever had! I was also with non-vegans that loved the food just as much as I did.“

“Wow! Had never been until last night, although we frequently visit Sanibel. Can’t say enough about the quality of the food. My new all time favorite. A salad with tomatoes, watermelon, mozzarella, roasted pumpkin seed and a great dressing. Smoked tenderloin was a unique and fantastic dish.“
