“Great selection of pots and decorative items, and small gift shop area as well. Prices are good for the area (although I think all of the Pottery in SW Florida is pricey). Service is good and a cash discount. But bring a lot of it... you're going to want to buy a lot of stuff!“
“So so good. A little treasure on the Fort. Look for the food truck on Mango. The sandwich comes HIGHLY recommended as did the cinnamon roll. Neither disappointed. This cinnamon roll was did not skimp in the cinnamon which was freaking delish. The biscuits were perfection with my egg tomato and bacon. Tomato on my sandwich?? YES PLEASE“
“The only coffee place open while I was visiting FMB in Dec 2023! It's a black food truck set-up right off the main road with parking spots - They have tables set-up. I got a cold brew every morning & it was good - Definitely still recovering from the hurricane!“
“I absolutely love big energy cafe! From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed by a friendly staff with a fun energy and vibe. The drinks and food are always fresh and delicious. You have to try the gluten free muffins! After working out at dream fit next door it’s a perfect spot to come for my protein shakes as well. Also kid friendly! My daughter loves the blue lemonade and croissants! 10/10 highly recommend! Best little hidden cafe in town!Kid-friendliness: Many fun drinks and kid friendly options“
“10/10 would recommend! My company hosted a private event at Vichino's and it was an ABSOLUTE success.The coordination prior to the event was top notch - their team is organized and very communicative, which made me, as the event organizer, feel confident throughout the experience. They were accommodating, provided great recommendations for dinner options to be delivered, and offered the warmest welcome on the day of our event. They literally rolled out the red carpet for us!We were served with smiles from the start of the event until the very last goodbye. They provided insight into each of the wines offered as well as other beverages - so many great options! The cherry on top was the cinnamon rolls that were made fresh for our group to enjoy following our event, packaged individually for each attendee.Whether stopping by for a coffee and quick bite or hosting a private event with your friends, family, or co-workers, I can't recommend Vichino's enough!!“
“Get a taste of Italy at this cute cafe on McGregor. The second you walk through the door you are greeted in a friendly Italian way. The owners are very friendly and sweet just like the gelato and Italian desserts they offer. While we only had cappuccino and sweets they do have savory options such as panini, lasagna and quiche. The gelato flavors are plentiful and unique...if you're not sure what to have, you can sample the flavors to ensure you end up with the winner. Love the chalk wall as well...great personal touch to the interior of the cafe.“
“My new favorite Kava bar. The atmosphere is great! I played the pool tournament last night, it was doubles and I had a blast, my partner and I came in 4th place so we just barley missed winning a prize but we had an awesome time and well be back again next week. Kratom was crushed leaf and brewed stronger than the other 2 bars I’ve been to which I really like. The bartender Chloe was super friendly and attentive, awesome vibes ?“
“Awesome place, awesome food, awesome staff!!! This is my new go to spot for working instead of the usual Starbucks. I’m really impressed. Check out the backyard!! Try the Chocolate peanut butter latte!! Starbucks could learn a lot from this place :)Vegetarian options: Veg, eggetarian, pescatarian, omnivore, herbivore, or carnivore. Whatever kind of dinosaur you are ?Parking: Parking right outside. I can almost see my car and I’m sitting in the Backyard.Kid-friendliness: There were a few kids in here but they were quiet and well-behaved.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the ground floor and handicap parking is available.“
“Awesome atmosphere, great service, had a blast getting my butt kicked in the pool tournament this evening. Tonight was my second time visiting this Kava Bar, I came because my friend Kenny who I hang with and shoot pool with at another Kava Bar invited me and told me he thought I would like it. He was right, its a super pleasant environment, big bar with lots of comfy intimate spaces to relax and enjoy a Kava or Kratom beverage with friends, nice pool table, cool people, my new favorite spot! Bartenders Taylor, Amber and Lindsey were all super friendly and made me feel welcome! ? ?“
“Located in downtown Cape Coral area in a plaza with variety of food options. Great atmosphere and interior design is beautiful! Great for taking pictures for the media. The lemonades are delicious not too sweet or sour but the right amount of flavor and the milk tea taste great! Staff are welcoming and fast service. Definitely recommend if you want to grab a refreshing drink.“
“Great establishment and even better owners!!☺️?? I remember when they first opened a few years ago and the owner went door to door giving out free coupons for drinks!☕?☺️?️?✅?️ Now the line regularly runs into the street - they are obviously the best at what they do!!!???“
“Best patio in the area to sit at probably of not just coffee places but any place that's not a park. Lived here a long time and not sure why parking in that area is so hard to come by. Not really any stores I personally use or even think are that popular in this area, other than whatever bank is there and I think a dollar tree. But Starbucks is large inside, in a new building, and a nice wooden large patio with palm trees all around.Parking: A lot of cars especially for punta Gorda and for that plaza, u will find a spot just might take 3 or 4 aisles and may have a little bit of a walk. Also a few cars in that small area can make traffic slow in parking lot.“
“We just moved here and we have tried quite a few local coffee shops. Penny's is by far the best of the best. Their coffee is fresh and food was delicious. Mike makes the best drinks and the service was great! We'll definitely be back“
“Sanibel Cafe is a must when you come to Sanibel - the ambiance and service is unmatched. Our kids had the m&m pancakes (yummy), we had the sanibel omelette and the breakfast quesadilla - both were so yummy! Be sure to check out their homemade raspberry jam, it's to die for and you can buy some to take home too!“
“This is a great spot for gourmands! I’m so glad we found this little gem. The service and food were outstanding! The Brussels sprouts with sriracha and miso are not to be missed, and the wagyu filet just melts in your mouth. They have an extensive cocktail and wine menu, but I chose the Pom mocktail, and they even made me another mocktail that wasn’t on the menu. Highly recommend Gather - we will definitely be back!“
“Went here on a vacation about a month ago, was in the area and decided to stop and get a bite to eat. My Buffalo style chicken tenders were absolutely amazing. If you are looking for something quick and easy this is the place to go. The service was great, the owner was constantly cleaning tables, making sure cutlery, napkins and condiments were stocked. The tribute to Buffalo New York was a sight to see especially being in Florida. All together if you're looking for good food when you don't have a ton of time you need to stop here.“
“Popped into this Kava/Kratom bar to test the waters out on a new place. I was welcomed in by Kat(sp?). As I was new to these drinks she went over what everything was and was super friendly. Suggested me a couple of her favorite drinks. I went with the jungle juice and tried a kava shell. The kratom drink was delicious and had me feeling amazing. The bartender definitely made it a great experience and gave me so much great information. Glad to have found a new place/bar to hangout that doesn’t involve getting drunk.“
“I love visiting the friendly faces of Perk & Brew! They are always so welcoming and make me feel right at home! My favorite menu item is the Breakfast BLT. They have award-winning food, but that BLT is my go-to!! And their coffee drinks are fantastic! Oh, and the baked items!!Stop by their cute little patio, choose a flavored iced tea to sip on, and say hi to the “Brew Crew” for me!“

“Christina greeted us this evening and she was extraordinarily lovely. She made us delicious boba teas and was accommodating and creative. The shop is full of an array of olive oils and vinegars, delectable seasonings, and culinary trinkets. Highly recommend even if you go for a quick beverage. Christina elevated our experience and even made it interactive. Thank you, Christina! We will be back. ?“
“I just love this place. You are surrounded by art of various mediums, you are treated like special guests every time and it just feels like home. Artists’ studios are available for viewing there, as well as at Union Arts above. Arts & Eats is located on the campus of Lee County Alliance for the Arts, whose main building is less than a minute’s walk away. If you have a heart for the arts, this is the place for you.“
“It is a rare occurrence when a dining experience transcends the process of “consuming food”. The French Press special buffet on 12/24/2023 was one of these times. On this day a group of six of us were treated to superbly prepared and served food that made a sweet memory of Christmas 2023 for us all. The lobster Benedict was amazing with perfectly prepared poached eggs and generous mounts of lobster. The chorizo mini-egg burritos were perfectly spiced. Traditional offerings of bacon, scrambled eggs, lightly seasoned sausage gravy, along with orange zest infused waffles provided choices to satisfy any taste. There were bagels and lochs, fresh fruit, sliced meats/cheeses and fresh tossed salad with a variety of fruits and nuts added. On the “sweet” side of the buffet we relished a finely baked choice of bite-size chocolate croissants, cinnamon swirl cakes and raspberry-filled beignets, all made on-site by the resident pastry chef. To top this all off the French Press presented us with a choice of world-renowned Norman Love chocolates and orange-cranberry mimosas. The service was warm and helpful which is why we will be back soon to make another dining “memory” at the French Press!“
“Went in this morning for a little midweek pick me up and had some of the best service I've had in a while. Makayla was amazing, super patient, she made me te best caramel macchiato I've ever had and put so much love into my order. 10/10 would “
“Very good donuts! The staff here were excellent, too. I was a particular fan of the strawberry sprinkle donut, but I did not like the crème they used in the Boston crème and similar donuts at all—it had a plastic-y, chemical taste. Could have been a bad batch and the other folks with me liked them so it could also be me! Loved the store.“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“Such a great location for an ice cream shop! They have a tiny inside store and a few tables outside. The line looks intimidating but it moves quick! The flavors were kind of hit or miss. I wish they had descriptions for the original flavors so I didn't have to hold up the line while asking. My favorite was the cookie butter flavor. Unfortunately it wasn't available the second time I went so I ordered the cookies and cream and cookie dough instead. They were extremely disappointing because there was no cookie dough and only one bite of cookie. The vanilla ice cream tastes great but I am just not a fan of plain vanilla and it wasn't what I was looking for. Overall still great ice cream but you have to find a flavor that works for you! PS. They have premade pup cups which is an awesome perk!“
“The Bonita Kava Culture is, in my opinion, the best Kava Culture in the area. The Kavatenders are super friendly, funny, welcoming, and excellent drink makers (shoutout to Alexandra, Raine, Zac, Autumn, Katelyn, and Nic! Your service is always amazing!). I have felt welcome since I first walked into the doors. I feel at home at this location, it's like everyone is one big family.It's fun to go on your birthday to get the giant Birthday Bula! You can only get it on your actual birthday, though, so keep that in mind! But it's so much fun... mine even came with Kavatender, Zac, playing "Happy Birthday" on the saxophone. So cool!If you're looking for a sober environment where you feel comfortable and welcome, this is your spot. Bring your laptop to work or study! Bring your fur babies (stop in and maybe you'll meet Bo, the manager's puppy. She's the best bar pup!)! Kids are also welcome! It's such a great, chill spot, and I will keep going!“
“Usualy i dont write revews but this is an exception. Words cannot describe the food and service. They were so kind and even offered to take a picture of us and it was the best breakfast ive ever had. the restroom signs were the funniest.Vegetarian options: I didnt look through whole menu but some good vegie breakfastsKid-friendliness: They were super frendly and funny“
“Staff is kind and courteous. The lobby is always clean. The items I frequently purchase are always available. I saw a few negative reviews regarding no wi-fi? But wi-fi is, in fact, available and I had no issues connecting and working from my laptop. One of my favorite locations.“
“I used suite night points for an upgrade. Easy friendly check in be prepared for a half hour ride from airport however if you're using Uber or Lyft. Ended up in a high floor corner suite in the Captiva building just ended up working out well for the view and quietness in the evening. This building also has its own swimming pool which is more private than the main building. It has a view of the causeway to Sanibel and the harbor area. Be prepared in the morning if you think you're going to go out to the island the traffic starts at 5:00 a.m. and doesn't stop until about noon with construction traffic headed out and then in the evening about 4:00 it starts coming back and goes till 7:00. The spa is not reopened yet there's still some work to do to finish cleanup from the storms on the property. The golf cart drivers get high marks for their quick and friendly service anytime they will take you from the main Hotel to the Captiva building and back. Was there for a conference and had several conference meals which were just fine. Fun bar scene. I'll end with the team here is doing all they can to keep everybody happy and comfortable while they work hard to bring everything back to 100%.“
Acai Bowls • $
“I’ve been to a Bahia Bowls before but have to say this location is just spectacular. Everyone is so friendly and the açaí bowls are the best I’ve EVER had! 10/10 recommend the banana bread protein bites! I also love that they’re dog friendly; they even gave my dog a little peanut butter. ❤️ My new favorite spot! Thank you!“
“Starbucks usually never disappoints. I enjoy their menu very much. I have tried several items off their menu and they are always tasteful. I enjoy their cheese danish, banana bread and chocolate croissants to name a few food items. Their drinks never lack. Would recommend them to anyone who enjoys coffee and breakfast items. Their lunch items are not bad either but I prefer the breakfast.“
“Personally this is the best Starbucks in Ft Myers. I’ve visited several locations several times and I must admit that this spot takes the cake. Terri and her crew provide phenomenal service and honestly they’re the friendlier of Baristas in our local area. I wouldn’t bother going to another Starbucks as long as they’re here. Order is always right and speedy service 10/10 experience everytime“
“Went there ON SUNDAY ordered 3 drinks Ty was very professional , had my order out in a timely manner, he had a line of customers yet he never lost he’s cool, he had a smile on the entire time I wish this young man well and a life full of success with that attitude he willDefinitely go places, (would make an extraordinary barista j/s). What ever he makes an hour is not enough I saw him do more by himself than other times when there’s 2/3 girls there. Did I mention the positive attitude ?“
“My girl Crystal got me set up!! I told her about my allergy to almond milk (which is normally in the drink I got) and asked if she could switch it to 2%, and she was so accommodating and kind!! She washed her hands and cleaned the machine without me even asking her to! And my drink was delicious! Thanks, Crystal!“
“I have always enjoyed my time here. I come here to work, or just chill. I also use the drive through for a quick coffee and food.Vegetarian options: Yes, their menu options include a nice variety.Dietary restrictions: They will custom make most anything for your specific needs or already prepared options.Parking: As long as one parks in the areas that are not taken it is not a far walk at all.Kid-friendliness: Yes. As long as parents are attentive to their needs.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“
“The Blend is a casual breakfast & lunch dining venue in the Shell Point retirement community. A nice menu and friendly prices. Dine in or out on the covered patio to enjoy the lake view. When your order is ready they call out your name...so a bit like Cheers, everyone knows your name.“
“Best Starbucks around. Coffee is always exactly as ordered. Very polite staff. Only complaint is they sometimes "run out " of my preferred breakfast sandwhich.Parking: Not an issue with parking spaces per se, but driving a truck in the area, especially turning out of their drive through, is an inconvenience.“
“I would like to give special recognition to Mitzy (hope I spelled right) who works the window! She is the absolute sweetest person! She always is so cheerful and knew me by name after only 2 visits by voice when I ordered through the drive thru! She is very personable and her positive energy helps me begin my day. I look forward to stopping by for my morning coffee and extra shot of Mitzy’s positive happy energy! Customer service is something that lacks in society today as well as kindness. I think Mitzy needs to be recognized as I am sure she brings smiles to so many!“
“We had an unpleasant experience at a different Starbucks location and stopped at this one on our way home to fix our drinks. We were greeted by Yareli at the window who was so accommodating and kind as well as Jocelyn who fixed our drinks. I could not have asked for two nicer girls. These are the types of employees that every location should have.“
“Lake House is a hidden gem right off 41- peaceful and lakeside while still being so close to everything else. Service is always exceptional- Bobby Joe is awesome!! Food is also fantastic and they have something for everyone! Ambiance is tropical and relaxing overlooking the lake- lots of turtle sightings and every now and then the alligator swims by :) Parking is in the Trianon lot or the shopping area nearby. Open-air, no air-conditioning, but they have ceiling fans.“
“I really enjoy stopping in to this location of Starbucks. The staff is friendly, and the place is usually quiet. As someone with dietary restrictions, I can always count on Starbucks baristas to prepare my order carefully so I don't have to worry about them giving me something that is incorrectly made.Vegetarian options: All drinks here are vegetarian and many of the food offerings are vegetarian as well.Dietary restrictions: Several alternative milk options (soy, oat, almond, coconut) are available for crafted beverages.“
Coffee Shops • $
“I had no hope for Starbucks up until a few months ago. Every time I would go my coffee was never right (not your location). Fast forward to now I have never been happier to say I have switched from being a Dunkin customer to a Starbucks customer. Your staff is amazing and gets my coffee right EVERY SINGLE TIME. Not to mention your drive thru employees are spectacular especially the girl this morning complimenting me, she is very sweet and always goes above and beyond.“
“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!!“
“I stop here often, and always forget to write a review. I love this convenience store. This store is always stocked nicely, it's always clean. Mike the cashier is always happy and makes it a pleasure to stop in and grab some items. They have a air and vac machine as well as fuel here. Parking on the other hand can be awful at times. Nicely done ?“
“I overheard Noah describe the origins of the kava plant and what it meant to the indigenous people, and I was thoroughly impressed. I've heard it before, but he showed the value and the reason we continue the bula tradition. Well done??“
