    We have been coming to Over Easy for many years now, it is truly the best breakfast on the island! We love the Tervis' cups full of their iced tea. Even if there is a wait, we love to walk around the shops while we wait! Some of our favorite dishes are the egg sandwich, the gulf shrimp omelet, eggs benedict and more. Truly can not go wrong here. Bonus points from our family, the owners have Missouri/Kansas City roots! This is always a mandatory stop for my family when they visit town and I try and swing by every so often now that I live in Ft. Myers. We love Over Easy Cafe

    This place is really good. I highly recommend you try over easy cafe when you're on the island. The service is really quick, the food is high quality, and the menu is very unique. I got the crab meat and asparagus omelette and it was fantastic. they did a really nice job. this was super good.

    During our many trips to Sanibel over the past 30 years, the Over Easy Café has been a breakfast staple for us. Since Hurricane Ian, OEC has moved from its charming Tarpon Bay Road bungalow to an even cuter spot on Periwinkle--about two blocks east--and they haven't missed a beat. The decadent, oversized Orange Roll is a must-order for us every visit. Today we added the Western Omelet and the Farmers Skillet, both hearty, flavorful, and served piping hot. Beyond the tasty food and quick service, the staff deserves a shout-out. They're consistently warm, attentive, and genuinely happy you're there. We also spotted some Kansas City Chiefs memorabilia and learned the owners are fellow Kansas Citians. One of these days, we hope to meet them. As we walked out, my wife said she could eat breakfast at OEC every day. I reminded her we only have one more breakfast left on this trip--so I think we both know where we'll be tomorrow.

    Glad to see this local breakfast & brunch spot come back after the hurricanes. The staff is very accommodating and pet friendly too! We shared multiple dishes for brunch on Sunday and the portions are beyond generous. The breakfast burrito is huge and packed with flavor. The 2 egg omelet croissant sandwich is fluffy and big enough to share between two people. Make sure you get a cinnamon roll / orange roll to go!

    This was such a great meal! We were up early on a Saturday morning and visited for breakfast! The outside seating was perfect. On the day we visited the weather was outstanding and we had such a great seat in the shade. The service was so efficient. We chose to share a few breakfast items like the orange roll and the fruit and yogurt parfait. My husband had an iced tea and said it was outstanding. We love the cute chicken cups. We also thought the prices were excellent for Sanibel.

    Over Easy Cafe is one of the few breakfast spots on the island and we absolutely love this place. They had a rough couple of years because of hurricanes and are finally in a new location which is higher ground and beautiful. Their new location is in the Village Shops. We had about a 15 minute wait for a table inside We were totally ok with that because it was in the triple digits temperature wise. Once we were seated all of us were ready to order immediately. We already knew exactly what we wanted. My mother in law went with the Corned beef hash and eggs (This was grilled corned beef hash with 2 eggs your style and choice of toast). It was a great dish.The hash was crispy and corn beef was perfect. My dad father in law ordered the classic breakfast( 2 eggs your style, choice of bacon or sausage links or sausage patties or ham steak or Canadian bacon served with your choice of toast, and then choice of home fries, grits, tomatoes, or fresh fruit) He did the sausage patties and did not really like the flavor, but I told him I'd eat it, I thought it was tasty. I went with my favorite dish, the Big Bertha's Breakfast(grilled breakfast potatoes, mushrooms, onions bell peppers, tomatoes, sausage, bacon and ham with cheddar jack cheese, topped with 2 eggs your way and your choice of toast) I always order this meal. It is a huge portion, served in a skillet. Every component on this dish compliments the other. It's perfect. I never have to make any adjustments to this dish. No extra seasoning... it's perfect always. My sister in law when with the classic eggs Benedict(toasted English muffin topped with grilled Canadian bacon, 2 poached eggs and benedict sauce) She usually loves it, but this time she did not fully enjoy the flavor of the benedict and the poached egg was hard, not runny like they usually are with a benedict. My wife ordered her favorite, cheese omelet with bacon(It is a 3 Egg Omelets served with home fries, grits, tomatoes, or fresh fruit and choice of toast) The portion was so large she could not finish the entire plate. Overall this is a great stop. We will continue to come and visit year after year. Their breakfast is so good and honestly one of the only ones on the island. The owners are so lovely and friendly. The servers are great as well, always checking on you. They also have a small gift shop in the same shopping area, that sells some of their merchandise. We had to get one of their classic cups. They serve all their beverages in a Tervis cup with roosters on it. We had to buy one! We actually got a couple so we each had them. They also sell their coffee cups which are very pretty. I highly recommend this restaurant, great food, great service, amazing story. It just needs to be added to your list.

    Okay, we are in paradise so there is that! I traded snow boots for a bathing suit; !! We wanted breakfast/brunch this morning and this cute cafe wasn't far from our condo. I can't really tell you what it looks like inside because we sat outside in the sun and shade and watched the people. We started off with sunrise mimosas made from prosecco and fresh squeezed orange juice. Absolutely scrumptious!!! I'll take a dozen more!! My husband had the traditional breakfast of over medium eggs with bacon, toast and a side of fried potatoes. I had a side biscuits and gravy, a side of grits and a side of bacon. Now let's get real, I am a snob about biscuits because I make some of the best biscuits this side of the Mason Dixon and these biscuits this morning were not okay. I'm sure 7up biscuits are in somebody's yummo list, NOT mine!!! That said the gravy was good, needed seasoning but I would rather add my own that have someone else do it for me. The grits though, CHEF'S KISS!!! Perfect!! My husband said his eggs landed on the harder side of medium and the potatoes weren't his style but overall this place was great. We did not get the pancakes but the guy behind us did and they were huge. I'd try those next time. If you're in Sanibel, try this place. It's a go to and bonus, there's some super cute shops here.

    Located in the Olde Sanibel Shoppes, my family has been going to the Over Easy cafe since it was Amy's Over Easy cafe. There is inside and outside seating, and the food is always superb. The ambiance is like an old farmhouse- before "farmhouse chic" was a thing. Today I got the Mediterranean omelette and it did not disappoint. The iced coffee was 'just' coffee poured over ice and it was delish! They don't have dairy free milk options, just FYI. Lynn took care of us today and she was wonderful! We will always return every time we're on Sanibel!

    This is a fantastic hideaway restaurant on Sanibel island. Serving breakfast and lunch. My husband and Mom had breakfast and I choose a lunch BBQ pork sandwich. It was excellent! As someone who does not eat Biscuits & Gravy Incan only say it looked real. Sometimes you go to a restaurant and it looks like a congealed slop, this was legit homemade! Hubs said it was delicious. Mom ate the whole omelet for the first time this trip. Loved it! My sandwich was great! It's rebuilt since Ian and beautiful! Our server was so helpful and though it was busy he took the time to help us and answer questions and talk about the rebuild. Stellar! GO

    When your boat day gets cancelled because of rough waters from the storm, the next best thing is to head to breakfast before the place fills up! We grabbed the first table of the day at Over Easy Cafe in Sanibel, and the moment my sister saw the Giant Homemade Sticky Orange Roll on the menu, she pointed it out to me because she knew it was right up my alley! After that, I couldn't think of anything else, so I had to give it a try. And let me just tell you, my whole table kept eyeing it when it came to the table because it looked SO good. As luck would have it, it tasted just as amazing! The service was friendly and accommodating of our larger party popping in unexpectedly for breakfast, and the food was unbelievable. We dined outside on the patio and had a relaxing, enjoyable breakfast - one we'll repeat again and again during future visits to Sanibel and Captiva Islands.

    Lighthouse Cafe

    Lighthouse brings the light, yum, and joy!…read more Whoa! Run don't walk. I was nervous, empty, 7am at opening. Well, we are table #2. Cute, clean, cute spot. Love all the lighthouses to view and for sale. Ok, Bloody Mary made me cry tears of joy. As good or better than our cruise ship, Holland America. So tomatoey, garlicccc, pepper, tany but not hot. Can you just buy a vat of the mix. Hope the owner sees this amd takes that mix, offers Chelada - thats bloody mary with beer, tajin rim. The mix is homemade, its amazing!!! Now, onto more yum. We tried the seafood benedict, amazing! Partner had traditional benedict. Excellent. Coffee was good, we like dark roast, it was good enough. We were just so happy. Im tough, because I eat out often, so I know if its good. This was yum! Excellent. Stop by, worth every dime. And prices were reasonable too, not island prices but normal stuff, so we appreciated that. I think tip should be manadatory. Add in 18% on everyone who eats in. Its done all across Florida, then your staff gets the minimum.

    Quick service, friendly people, and steaming pipe hot coffee makes for a good first impression!…read more This is the "new" Lighthouse Cafe. New in the sense of a new location after the former one was destroyed by Hurricane Ian in 2022. One thing remains though is the good food and friendly people who work here. I ordered one of their "specials" - the Mahi sandwich (blackened, tyvm) where fries and cole slaw came with it. The sandwich was very good and the Cole slaw was tasty. I'm not much of a fries person but the one I had was pretty good too. There's booth and table seating inside as well as table seating outdoors on the patio. There's a lot of lighthouse pictures that adorn the walls. I love old lighthouses so I really enjoyed looking at them. I like the new setting, the good food, and the polite and friendly atmosphere. I recommend you check this place out!
