In the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area this is hands down my favorite place to go. The coffee is superb. The straws are biodegradable which I love, I only wish the cups were too, better for the environment. The prices are reasonable, more affordable than some other coffee shops. And the staff is incredibly friendly. They always make me smile :)

Had one of the best iced cafe mochas made by Juliana and a delish breakfast sandwich with egg, sausage, arugula, and hot honey on cibatta. YUM! My toddler loved the banana bread and I stole a bite too, very moist and flavorful. I loved that it wasn't overly sweet. Cute place, well decorated open concept and inviting. Would be a perfect place to work quietly or catch up outside on the patio with friends. We'll be back!

The Blueberry Pie tea was wonderful and the food tasted great…read more However, my daughter informed them of her dairy allergy during the online reservation, when she entered the door and when the waitress was taking our order. I am not allergic, so I asked for my side to contain dairy. The waitress brought the tiered plates and said, "Just a minute. Let me check that you have the correct side." She moved the plates around a bit and then said we were all set. Even with all of this, my daughter ended up with the dairy side. After she ate the food and began to feel ill, the waitress came back and said, "Oh you ate the side with dairy." She didn't seem to think it was a big deal. She just said, "Let me get your bill." I spoke to the lady at the door and told her the situation, saying I did not feel like I should have to pay the entire amount as neither of us got the food we were supposed to get. She said, "Let me see what I can do." She never came back to talk to me. The bill was cut in half. My daughter is also allergic to caffeine. The waitress did not know that "decafe" and "caffeine free" are two different things and that "decafe" does indeed have caffeine. My daughter was sick for an entire day of our vacation. This establishment really needs to be more careful with allergies. Thankfully my daugher's dairy allergy is not life threatening and she knew not to order decafe. But what if that were not the case?

They didn't have the brigadeiros I wanted out but the lady was quick and kind to make them up for me. Everything tasted very fresh. The cheese bread I had here was by far my favorite of the few places I've gotten it at down here. And I loved the coconut brigadeiro as well. I would love to try one of their coffee creations next time. Definitely an affordable and cute place to stop in for a treat or a cafe meal.

There are many factors that make a coffee shop special. For starters and I'm sure you'll agree the…read morecoffee has to be amazing. Not just okay, but the kind of coffee that gives you the boost you need to get through the day. And if you plan to stay, the space matters just as much. It should feel welcoming and comfortable, with enough room to work, meet, catch up, or simply slow down for a while. What makes the story of Chocolattés even more meaningful is where it began. In 2003, Chocolattés opened inside HealthPark Medical Center, a place where most people probably don't wish to spend their day. Yet, one cup of coffee at a time, they found a way to uplift visitors, staff, and families during some of life's more difficult moments. Over the next 12 years, Chocolattés expanded to all four major hospitals, bringing that same experience to even more people. Today, with two locations in Southwest Florida, that story has evolved into something you can enjoy outside the hospital walls. And the coffee? This is craft coffee in every sense of the word. Their beans are roasted in-house, and there is almost a science behind how they create each cup. You can tell there is intention behind what they serve. The prices are definitely on the higher end, but I think Chocolattés is one of those places where you can justify it whether you're treating yourself to a really good cup of coffee or need something a little extra to get you through a long day at work. Our go-to orders? For Ariel, it's the Shaken Gorilla Vanilla Iced Espresso with banana, caramel, and vanilla For Hailey, it's Sea Turtle Mocha Latte chocolate, caramel, hazelnut & sea salt sprinkles.

I tried the new location in downtown Ft Myers, near Publix off First Street…read more Simple decor, open space, and good for personal working areas. Complimentary water offered. I always try a Mocha at a new spot - the taste did not disappoint! Really delicious and well made, I have a few "special order asks", oat milk, half sweet, etc. And the barista did well. 4/5 due to price. I paid nearly $11 for a mocha that I pay $5 at Dean's, within the Luminary downtown (which is organic coffee) and even Starbucks is $8 something. Too pricey for local coffee when there is lots of new competition out there!

Sweet Bean was such a great find!

The coffee bar has several different roasts and flavored coffees to try, or you can order the coffee bar as your drink and get a mug for unlimited self-serve refills. We ordered their signature iced coffee, and it was delicious. The food menu has plenty of ways to customize your meal. I had the crab salad sandwich with a side of cinnamon bread, and it was fantastic. I'm not a fan of celery, but it was finely chopped instead of having big chunks, so it was perfect. Overall, this was a wonderful experience with great food, delicious coffee, and genuinely friendly service. I'm really glad we found Sweet Bean, and it's definitely a place we'll be coming back to.

The staff was warm and welcoming. She quickly prepared the order and gave some information on the store. I sensed this is an excellent place to relax and hang out with friends. Love the idea that they support local artists and vendors! Those ice creams, and mini pastries in the refrigerator look so appealing, you must come back to try them!
