    Breakfast quesadillas with chicken
    Brad H.

    Awesome food and great service. Willing to substitute items as well. I particularly love the breakfast burritos (which I sub chix for the sausage:)). Huge portions.. it's nice to find a non-chain restaurant that can do good, homemade breakfast

    What's not to love about a family owned breakfast and lunch spot that serves up consistently good food with a great atmosphere. I'll start with our usual waitress Jackie; she is your prototypical north easterner. She is so funny and always makes the experience better. The food is awesome. Especially the Gyros. The burgers are great as well. Awesome little spot that is a favorite for many locals and regulars. If you are in town, check them out.

    This is a super cute diner! We were seated immediately and our server was quick and attentive. The food was SO good. The hash browns were our favorite; totally crispy on the outside but not overdone. It's always a bonus when you can get gyro meat for breakfast too.

    Super classic dive diner with a local groove. I'm not sure the history of this place but I'm pretty confident it's been around for a good spot of time. We sat outside which was nice and the menu is pretty standard breakfast food, which is perfectly alright. I got french toast with a blueberry drizzle, but they brought me fresh blueberries instead so our waitress made sure to get me the drizzle as well and I just got to have both, it was awesome. It wasn't crazy good food but it was good and I'd for sure come back again. The coffee was actually decent too. Cute place!

    Marko's was about a 35 minute drive but on a perfect Saturday morning, why not??? From the outside it has a retro diner feel and some cute outdoor tables with umbrellas perfect for a leisurely breakfast. The interior has black and white checkerboard flooring and a lot of three Stooges memorabilia. Now we sit down and immediately are greeted by our server with piping hot coffee and ice cold waters. The menu is vast with numerous lunch and breakfast specials, omelettes, skillets , house specialty pancakes, burgers , lots of choices. My western omelette was delicious, the veggies were finely sliced, the omelette was fluffy and the cheese was melted to perfection. The meal, the service, the atmosphere was great. A local place with a home town feel , busy, but not loud so you could actually carry on a conversation. First time here, and I loved it... Two people eat a full breakfast with beverages , for 30.00... Was it worth the drive??? Absolutely.... If you have some extra time on a Saturday and want a home cooked meal, look no further than Marko's Diner.

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.

I also got a breakfast crepe which was delicious, crispy, and filling. My husband got a bagel sandwich which was also huge! We loved everything we got and the menu is big enough that you could come several times and try new things. They have a back area with tons of seating too. Lots of folks were working on laptops and there were a few dogs. It was a bit pricey but seems par for the area. Overall, I'd definitely add this to my list of favorite spots in Fort Myers!

This is my own opinion and preference, but I do love a good menu that is a bit more expansive. I enjoy knowing the different flavors, different drinks, specialty menu items. While they did have some of those things at the register, I wish I had just a little more time to review. Coffee was good. Inside they were busy so we sat outside and of course, it's love bug season so we had to protect our drinks. That is no fault of Summer Moon whatsoever, just Florida! I'd come back if I was in the area to try a different flavor and see if I can snag an inside seat!

A chocolate croissant and sips of cinnamon latte made my afternoon break complete! Ambiance is very cozy and relaxed. Both inside and outside tables are available. Staff are always friendly and smiling! A wonderful place to stop by for coffee!

My husband ordered the country skillet. The coffee was delicious He said the country skillet was very good.. My omelette did not have any mushrooms in it. But what was odd it was the shredded potatoes and she had the Kitchen deep fry the shredded potatoes. When I asked her about that, she replied with "you said you wanted them deep fried" I said no I said I didn't want them if they were deep fried. She said "Let me see if I can get you another side" She came back with the hashbrowns not deep fried. The omelet itself appeared to be cooked in oil as it was very greasy. I chose ham as my meat specifically to avoid this kind of an outcome The potatoes were also very heavy in oil , or whatever it is, they used to cook them with The food came out quickly and the waitress is very nice. If I go back, I'd probably just get poached eggs in a bowl with a side of ham.

    Kava has been part of Pacific Island culture for centuries, long before it ever showed up in the…read moreUnited States. It started as a communal drink shared during gatherings, ceremonies, and quiet moments between people who valued connection and calm. At some point that tradition drifted into Western culture, eventually creating the whole "kava café" concept. I honestly don't know when it became a popular thing in Florida, and I'm not sure anyone does. It just feels like one day you started hearing about them, and the next thing you know, these mellow little kava spots were popping up everywhere. What I do know is that my experience at Kava Culture was so unexpectedly good that I found myself saying something I never thought I would. I told them I wished they served Matcha Lattes because if they did, I'd start coming here a lot more often, even though I live a fair bit away. As someone who doesn't do cannabis, CBD, THC, or anything in that world, I walked in with curiosity and walked out feeling pleasantly surprised. The vibe, the calm, the atmosphere, and the way everyone there seemed genuinely relaxed made the whole experience feel refreshing. It didn't feel edgy or strange or outside my comfort zone. It just felt good. Real, grounded, and easy. And honestly, that alone says everything about why this place won me over.

I had visited a different coffee shop the…read moreday before and had such a great experience that I found myself on an unofficial coffee tour that week. From the outside, the place looks really cute and well-decorated. Just a heads-up--it's the second door, not the first one. I accidentally walked into the office before realizing I was in the wrong spot. Thankfully, a friendly gentleman working there opened the correct door for me. Inside, the vibe was calm and welcoming. The space was nicely decorated, with a clean bar setup and people enjoying their drinks and conversations. It looked like they also had some merch in the back, which added to the cozy coffeehouse feel. I was greeted by a bubbly barista who asked if I knew what I wanted. I didn't, so I reached for the menu and immediately felt overwhelmed. There was a lot to take in, and it wasn't very intuitive. Thankfully, the barista was helpful and offered to make me something based on my preferences. I told her I liked my coffee strong and plain--no sweet flavors or extras. She ended up making me an iced coffee with a bit of simple syrup. It was great. The flavor was rich, the coffee was perfectly balanced, and the color told me everything I needed to know. I am not someone who likes a cup of creamer with a splash of coffee, so I was happy with how it turned out. I gave this place four stars. The only reason I didn't give five is the menu setup. It could definitely be more digestible. When I came back that weekend with a guest, they had a hard time figuring out what to order too, which confirmed it wasn't just me. That said, I do plan to return. The space is nice, the staff is friendly, and the coffee was worth the visit. With a few tweaks to the customer ordering experience, this place could easily become a go-to.
