Sanibel Bean Reviews
Love this place. We went there every day of our vacation and they remembered that someone in my group needed oat milk. Wonderful service, great food and coffee.
Coffees are fine but there are no displayed prices. This is no way to run a café.
Used to love this place at their original location! Tried to come back today for the first time since hurricane Ian. Around 12pm on a Wednesday — despite their Google hours and TWO different signs on their property saying “open”…. they were not open. Please update your hours, I miss this place!

Sanibel Bean, a popular coffee shop located in the heart of Sanibel Island, offers a delightful dining experience with a relaxed beach vibe. The shop serves excellent bagels, and their island turtle blended drink, with an extra shot, is very tasty. Customers can enjoy a gigantic lemon poppyseed muffin at a reasonable price. The menu includes a variety of options, and there is something for everyone, from coffee to food items like a fabulous sausage and egg dish. The shop features plenty of seating both inside, with island-themed artwork and bathrooms, and outside in a lush, landscaped patio area, making it a great spot for biking or walking over.
Many customers praise the coffee, especially the ice lattes, which are flavorful and easily customized, including dairy-free options like decaf almond milk lattes. While the prices are higher than typical coffee shops, visitors often find it worth the treat during their vacation. Some mention that the default size for iced lattes is medium, which can be more than expected, but ordering a small resolves that. The staff is friendly, helpful, and offers great recommendations, such as the Island Squirrel latte, a mix of coconut and hazelnut.
Customers also enjoy the extensive seating area, fun island-themed artwork, and the opportunity to take home homemade roasts. Despite occasional issues with service speed and order accuracy, Sanibel Bean remains a favorite destination on the island for its terrific coffee, great food, and welcoming atmosphere.
