Crema's Take

Big Energy Cafe is a Fort Myers gem where the genuine warmth of the owner and staff feels as essential to the experience as the coffee itself—this isn't just a place to grab a drink, it's where you walk in as a stranger and leave feeling like you belong. Beyond the stellar specialty drinks and creative smoothies like their thick, satisfying Peanut Butter Protein blend, what keeps people coming back is the care that goes into every interaction, from the owner's authentic smile to team members like Barby who'll remake your drink if it's not quite right. Whether you're settling in with your laptop for hours or meeting friends in their warmly decorated space, you'll find the kind of hospitality that makes a coffee shop feel like a community gathering place rather than just a transaction.

I absolutely LOVE Big Energy Cafe! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with the warmest smile, by the most genuine owner and the kindest, sweetest staff—you can truly feel the love and intention behind everything they do. Their food aligns perfectly with what I stand for: clean, nourishing, thoughtfully made, with no seed oils, no preservatives, and nothing unnecessary. Every visit feels like coming home. The space itself is beautifully decorated and has such a calming, uplifting energy. You truly get what you pay for, and every penny is worth it—because investing in your health is always worth a little extra. Even the customers who come in are warm and friendly, which just adds to the incredible atmosphere. I honestly could go on and on. This place is truly special in every way, and it shows in everything they do. 💚

Super cute spot and absolutely perfect for Fort Myers! The place has such a warm, welcoming vibe, and their Christmas decorations are amazing — they really go all out. Barby was so nice, incredibly sweet, and very friendly, which made the experience even better. The grilled cheese was one of the best I’ve ever had, seriously outstanding. The rest of the food was very good as well. And the mango strawberry lemonade — I loved it. So refreshing and delicious. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and recommending to others!

Big Energy Café in Fort Myers 🤎 Tried their Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie today and wow — SO good and filling! It’s a little on the thicker side, but honestly that’s what makes it feel like a meal and keeps you full. The flavor was delicious, balanced, and perfect if you’re looking for something satisfying on-the-go. Protein without the protein flavor. Super friendly vibes, clean space, and plenty of options to choose from. If you’re into smoothies, protein, or just need an energy boost… definitely give them a try!

I love this place the people, the drinks, and even the food. There is this lady people call her Barbie she is so nice. She offers my sister a drink for free because she did not like it. This is one of my new favorite places to go out definitely gonna come back. We ate outside it was beautiful. We didn’t have to wait a long time to get our food or anything.
