“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!??“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Cuba Coffee 2 is incredible! I had the iced mocha, cortadito, beef empanada, guava and cheese pastry, and a croquette (and everything was perfection). The mocha was sweet and smooth, and the pastries were unbelievably flaky, buttery, and delicious. It's all homemade and full of flavor. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“GREAT LOCAL CAFE here in SWFL !! MacGregor blvd. has a lot of places to stop in for desserts and coffee. However this cafe offers more. Home-made soups and sandwiches, danish's,and cookies. Atmosphere, is warm, inviting, and comfortable The home-made ice cream is absolutely amazing! "THEY ALSO CATER" highly recommended to stop in become a regular.“

“My friend and I just happened upon this quaint little cafe when looking for a place for a coffee and chat. We will be back !! The coffees were delicious and the shared almond croissant was perfect - slightly warmed. The display case of pastries and breads are so tempting.
As we were leaving I spoke with 3 ladies enjoying their menu choices…. Each one raved how delicious their’s was… definitely on my go- to list now😊“
