This place was empty and now I know why. Their selection of bagels was poor, their coffee was just fair. Service slow......so who's going to buy their pricey tee shirts? No one!

Had the chocolate peanutbutter icecream. It was very good. However, the advertisements I read about this place advertised Gelato. But they do not serve it anymore :(

Thanks very much for your review. We made the switch to, our good friends, Love Boat Ice Cream in November. It's been a happy change, for several reasons, for us AND our customers. I thought I found and changed all references to gelato and I'm very sorry I missed what you saw. I'll look again. Paul More

It may sound crazy, but I will make a special trip to this place just to get their Vanilla Chai tea - a trip that involves a 20 minute drive plus a $6 toll. But it is SO worth it!!! You can get the Chai warm, iced or a frozen blend - all of which are delicious! They also carry... More

I went in looking for gelato that they had last year,but was surprised to find that they had gone to ice cream, home made. To this point I have tried 3 of their flavors and all were spectacular. Chocolate almond, chocolate peanut butter, this was good,but could have used a bit more peanut butter and the raspberry rocky road- chocolate... More

We stopped in for some ice cream after dinner and it was delicious. The young college guy who was going to school to be a pilot was very kind and helpful. He suggested the rocky road and it was good. My husband really doesn't like sweets nor chocolate but ate more than I did of the small bowl we got.... More

Okay, after eating at one of your favorite restaurants on Sanibel, such as Windjammers, Traditions, or Traders, go over to Jerrys Supermarket Plaza and you will find Poco Loco upstairs. It has the BEST ice cream on the Island, or anywhere for that matter! Great place to sit and relax and have your favorite ice cream, coffee, or sorbet. The... More

What a surprise of a stop for us! Best ice cream we've had. Even better than our favorite homemade shop in our hometown. We knew shop was in area as we were checking for it based on trip advisor but couldn't exactly locate it without better signage but at the last minute I spotted small sign for ice cream/gelato and...

What can you say about a coffee place with smiling and pleasant staff, good coffee (gives Sanibel Bean a fun for its money without the lines), tasty gelato, nice pastries, and more. A great place to sit and rest after a day of shell gathering and beach sitting and hiking on Sanibel. In the Jerry's complex, and a lot of... More

We have been going to Sanibel for spring break for years. I have always gone to the Bean for a morning coffee, but this year, I thought I would try something different, and stopped in for a coffee with my daughter one morning. We had a couple of caramel cappuccino's, and sat together for a lovely morning break. The service... More
