6 Best Cafes near Captiva

“Best dining experience on the island, fabulous food with wonderful flavors and aromas. Every dish I witnessed coming from the kitchen looked incredible. Melissa our server was pleasant, knowledgeable and professional and the atmosphere is relaxing. A really very good experience throughout .“

“What a great time we had, lunch every day and the Chef prepared a special meal by order too. It was handy to not have to cook and have such a nice meal. Dan made great cocktails and all the servers were so friendly. A great fun atmosphere.“

“We discovered this tiny gem when looking for a quick bite. It is a waterfront location tucked away off the main road. The owners (I think) were extremely pleasant and all the food appeared to be made from scratch. The sandwiches were absolutely enormous and were served on homemade bread, sliced thick. My husband and I shared a breakfast sandwich and took a sandwich to share while kayaking later. Both were delicious! We will definitely go back to try some of the desserts.“

“We found this place on Thursday morning, and came back both Friday and Saturday. Amazing food. Amazing community. Watching the staff work together seamlessly was poetry in motion. The kitchen staff was smiling, the wait staff was smiling, and it was impossible to tell who was managing because everyone was pitching in. If I could give 6 stars out of 5, I would.“

“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!“

“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!!“
