Books & Sanibel Bean
Florida International Airport, Fort Myers, FL
Crema's Take
“Tucked away like a secret worth finding, this hybrid bookstore and coffee shop creates an unexpectedly cozy haven where thoughtful curation meets genuine hospitality—the baristas and owner Lucy are equally skilled at recommending the perfect espresso drink or the perfect novel to match your mood. The real magic is in the inclusive, come-as-you-are atmosphere that makes everyone feel at home, whether you're settling in with a laptop for the afternoon, meeting a friend, or simply browsing the carefully chosen selection of books and handmade local crafts while sipping a traditional coffee drink.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Family friendly. Wifi.
