Lighthouse Cafe of Sanibel Island
1020 Periwinkle Way, Fort Myers Beach, FL
Crema's Take
“This beloved island institution serves up some of Sanibel's most craveable breakfast and lunch fare, from genuinely exceptional breakfast tacos to biscuits smothered in silky homemade gravy, all delivered with remarkable speed and warmth. The casual diner atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between a quick caffeine-and-pastry stop and a lingering seaside hangout where locals and visitors alike become regulars after just one visit. It's the kind of place where the staff makes you feel like family and the food is so good you find yourself coming back for every meal during your stay.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
