“Excellent bread. The croissants are super for breakfast“

“This place is absolutely amazing! Not only is it a healthy option for food but if you need a pick me up- this is your place to go! When you walk through those doors you are immediately greeted and the atmosphere is unmatched and is truly a great place to be! Once you try it- I guarantee you will be a forever customer. I highly recommend this place! The LIT teas give you that extra boost of energy which I always need having 2 little ones and the protein shakes are a great replacement for breakfast and not to mention SO many options!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing every time ! I do both take out and dine in never been disappointed. Best Gyro ever !“

“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!??“

“Service was excellent! Robin was very sweet and attentive to our needs! Food was delicious. Great wine selection. Highly recommend!!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Love this place always!!! Our stop on the way to the beach and never disappoints🤍🤍“

“Just a great place and food was outstanding!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

“I love their Asian sesame salad and soups. Service is great.😊👍🏼“

“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!“

“Love Mango’s and all their people! Captiva Sunrise & Silver King Margaritas are too delicious!“
