"The one employee working on a busy weekday seems like they should quit. Poor things stretched too thin. Dunkin is the worst to their employees."
"For some truly delicious and unique coffee-style beverages, we suggest taking a stroll to Sanibel Bean. They have a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy your beverage and are near many quaint little shops and boutiques. They have an extensive menu of delicious drinks to choose from and many café style treats and sammies!"
"Popular local hangout with an extensive cafe menu of quick, cheap eats that are surprisingly tasty and prepared with love. The staff are as friendly as they come."
"The Sanibel Bean has a dedicated following and is located across from the public park. It is self-service and has indoor and outside seating."
"If you are a coffee addict, Coffee Bar at Bailey's General Store has been meeting the needs of everyone on Sanibel Island for over a century. Apart from the 37 varieties of coffee and smoothie beverages like an iced caramel latte or a tasty berry smoothie, they have an extensive takeaway counter of hot foods for breakfast as well. But our favorite reason to go to Baileys for a Sanibel island breakfast?"
"Whatever you need, and whatever you didn’t know you needed, Bailey’s General Store has it. Like an old-fashioned, family-owned general store, Bailey’s is a blast from the past, but with gluten-free foods, a coffee shop and customer service that would give Disney a run for their money."
"Jerry’s Café is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Enjoy fresh-made breakfast pastries, signature sandwiches (check out our grouper!), delicious dinner entrees, and fabulous desserts – like our fan-favorite Key Lime Pie – all while enjoying our tropical bird habitat. In addition to our full menu we offer a build-your-own gourmet salad and sandwich bar, exciting daily specials, a fantastic full menu, and a wide assortment of beer and wine."
"Say hello to the macaws on the porch as you head in to pick up some essentials at Jerry’s Foods. Jerry’s started as a butcher shop, so this is probably the best place to pick up some items for a cookout night at your condo. Also on your menu should be the Key lime pie, reported to be the best in the world — but I think there are several other destinations on Sanibel that might dispute that claim!"
"If you are looking for a place to go with a relaxing atmosphere to work, read, or perhaps even meet someone, then Bailey’s Coffee Bar is where you want to be. They have a large menu for the coffee addicts and a delicious café style menu if you are looking for a treat or lighter fare. They have various beverages to choose from, including hot and iced espressos, hot chocolates, smoothies, and other refreshing drinks you would expect on the island!"
"The Coffee Bar by Bailey’s is located at the Bailey’s General Store and you won’t be able to find another like it on the island. This is a favorite stop for coffee for many of the locals and for many visitors to the island. They have a large selections of coffee drinks that you can pick from and there is something here for everyone."

"From Sanibel, it’s about a half hour to Fort Myers, where you can spend a leisurely few hours exploring the Edison & Ford Winter Estates. Then hit the road again for the 90-minute drive to Sarasota, where you can catch an opera performance, stroll the downtown art galleries, or gawk at the gaudy architecture of circus magnate John Ringling’s mansion. For fans of serious American architecture, a trip to Sarasota would be incomplete without exploring the scores of gorgeous and innovative buildings in the area, many of which were designed by a confederacy of architects known as the Sarasota School."
"Fast forward in time will bring you to the Edison & Ford Winter Estate. This well-preserved home of the great inventor Thomas Edison and automobile builder Henry Ford is a step back into the beginning of the last century. More than a winter getaway, the estate in Fort Myers also housed a massive laboratory and extensive garden. It was here in Florida that Edison had plants from around the world brought here to search for materials for his inventions."
