Thank you Yelp for leading me to a fantastic breakfast sandwich!! It was made on German grain bread. I got it with provolone cheese, crispy bacon, a poached egg, and spinach. Wow! So delicious. I will dream of it on future trips. I also got a banana split latte. It was huge and served in a big ceramic cup. Of course I had to try the blueberry cake, having grown up a town over from the blueberry capital of the world. It was very good. I make mine sweeter. But I'd never say no to this version :) The couple working are so sweet. She greets some customers by name! They are both on it in terms of cleaning a table the millisecond someone leaves. I highly recommend this place!!!! read more

I wish I could provide more stars! Best hospitality, kind service. The owners take the initiative to get to know you and build community. The Lye triangle breakfast sandwich never disappoints - I enjoy it almost weekly at this point! The blueberry cake is to die for. GO GO GO :) read more

Peter's German Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Went here for a Saturday morning breakfast. A quick break from the newly returned Farmers Market. This was my first time but my wife has been before. Lots of seating. More outside (street and courtyard) than inside. We both had the breakfast sandwich and coffee. I had a large. Large is large! The sandwich was very good. There are a lot of choices for the bread you can have. We had croissants. The owner - Marika, brought our food out to us. She is so nice. After eating the sandwiches, I ordered a "fresh out of the oven" piece of Raspberry Strawberry Pie. Excellent! Sorry, no pictures of the food. I was so hungry I wasn't thinking. Next time. read more

Awesome family business that welcomes you in and provides fresh, flavorful bites. The croissants are always so fresh and as a sandwich with egg, ham, and cheese is fantastic. Love the coffee and cold brew. So appreciate their friendly service and it feels good supporting the local business instead of the big chains. read more

A friend and I were looking for a place to just have a coffee and a light bite in stumbled onto this wonderful gem! I had a hot Matcha latte and a delicious piece of apple cake. My friend had a cappuccino and blueberry cake which she raved about. Our server, MacKenna was very sweet and attentive and knowledgeable with suggestions. read more

Everything was delicious and the staff so friendly. We went twice on our trip and will definitely be back. The cheesecake and banana Nutella muffin was awesome read more

Since there is no more ice cream there is no reason for me to go back. The menu is very small.

The croissant was absolutely tremendous and so was the coffee. Small cafe with a friendly atmosphere, interesting photos on the wall and very friendly service. I am glad to have found this breakfast spot for future trips to Ft Myers. read more

Absolutely lovely little cafe with the sweetest staff. Everyone is kind and attentive. Coffee is always very hot. The blueberry cake and bagels have been our favorites so far. read more

We come here every time we visit our parents in Fort Myers! The German couple that owns it is the absolute cutest and kindest. Support this awesome local business! When you walk in, you'll be greeted by their bright and airy space - and big smiles! The woman owner and her team are always an absolute joy and radiating energy. It's contagious! I loooove that they offer gluten free options! Gluten free bread for your breakfast sammies, gluten free rotating pastries, etc. I had GF banana bread this last time and it was great! My family members LOVE their breakfast sandwiches. Whether you get it on a bagel, toast, or get lucky and have one of their pretzel pastries - you'll love it. Customizable and SO affordable! Their beverages are awesome too. I've had matcha and chai here, but the real winners are their cold brews and iced lattes. The iced pistachio cold brew is unreal! I love their diner-style tables and chairs, and we always sit in the al fresco patio area attached. It's one of my favorite stops in DTFM every time :) read more

Very nice, sweet lady took my order. I ordered the Lye Triangle and a decaf Americano. The coffee was hot and tasted great. The triangle was sort of a cross between a pretzel and scone with no sweetness. The coffee shop was like a diner very clean and bright. I will definitely come back especially to try more pastries. Wait...I could help myself, I went back for the Blueberry Cake and it was wonderful! read more

Service was exceptional, I believe it was one of the owners the lady was very sweet and you could tell really cares about her store, customers, and her craft. She had a fresh German cheesecake and said she couldn't sell it just yet because it would mess it up. It needed time to sit, she wasn't willing to make a quick sale because the item wouldn't be as she saw fit. I tried the Tiramisu/caramel iced coffee mix which was good and just sweet enough with barely any cream added. Their base coffee taste was good. I also tried the vanilla and strawberry ice creams which were very good as well. The store has a happy vibe. Would love to come back if I was in the area again. read more

Every time I'm in town this place is a must! It's run by the sweetest German couple who are always so welcoming and kind when we come in. They have incredible pretzels that can be used as buns on the breakfast sandwiches and some amazing pastries.

They have a cute patio off the side perfect to enjoy the morning with a little food and coffee. read more

10/10 experience every time I come here. Their coffee is consistent and their breakfast sandwiches are always made with love. Love coming here and sitting outside with the little birdies, and the owner is a ball of energy and can make anyone smile. read more

Very loud, sound reverberates. Not cozy but old-time whimsy. Linoleum floors, brick walls, red/white contemporary ice cream' parlor furniture. Ice-cream looks amazing, will come back to try. Place has good coffee but my caramel latte was way too sweet. Cashier/client need to voice requests when ordering coffee anywhere am learning...( 1/2 pumps of sweetness. The homemade Onion Bacon Quiche I had was phenomenal!! I read that they offer Whole Cakes for sale! Offer made-from-scratch delectables like muffins, regular and small cakes...a few other items...lovely little establishment. Recommend visiting read more

Excellent little cafe in the Downtown Fort Myers shopping area. I had the Golden Chai Latte, the made-from-scratch breakfast sandwich, and the pistachio & After Eight mint chocolate German ice cream. Almost everything is made in-house. Everything I had was delicious and a good value, and the service was excellent and friendly. The ice cream was extra creamy. All in all, it's everything you could ask for from a little German cafe. read more

Excellent cafe!!! The APPLE CAKE was SOOO Delicious, excellent flavor, texture and spice! Not too sweet, loved it!! The Cubano Coffee was PERFECT and so BOLD! read more

A must try!!! The staff were so incredibly kind and helpful. Service was quick and the food was fresh. We tried the breakfast sandwiches with Croissants which were classic and delicious. We also tried the traditional german blueberry cake which was light, fruity, and not too sweet. 10/10! If you're in the area, definitely try this cafe out :) read more

Decided to try all the coffee shops in downtown Ft.Myers so was excited to come across Peter's German Cafe, as I had no idea it was there. It's just around the corner from the new Bruno's of Brooklyn restaurant. Good space with handful of tables inside & quite a bit of outside seating in the attached courtyard. Inside is pretty loud so if u have trouble hearing, might opt for the outdoor option. Bonus - they offer a couple gluten-free options! Staff is so very lovely. I'm assuming the gal who brought r items out was the owner, as she definitely showed an extra effort to ensure guests were treated well. I'm sure the staff is part of the reason so many people love coming to Peter's. Bummed they didn't have iced tea as a hot tea like English Breakfast put over ice just isn't the same, but did have a hot tea & coffee, which were both fine. The apple cinnamon muffin (not gf) was very good - not sure if this is one of their homemade items. Their gf bread was ok & I'm really thankful they offer it, but nothing I'd specifically return to order unless I wanted a breakfast sandwich. They also offered gf banana bread mini loaf & gf German cheesecake the day I went. Draws quite a crowd as the entire time we were there, they were crowded. One kind of off-putting item....they allowed someone to have their dog indoors. I obviously have no issue w/service dogs & who knows, perhaps this was a service dog & I'm incorrect, but no vest/identifier and most service dogs aren't pushed around in strollers. There's even an outdoor patio where the pup could b and it wasn't an intolerable day weather wise. Regardless, I would give Peter's a try again. Would like to have their ice cream next time. read more

Food was amazing. Especially the German cheesecake. The employees were very friendly. And service was great nice quiet little café.

Such a friendly hometown feeling cafe. Loved the light touch of sugar in the pastries. We had breakfast and a sweet. The breakfast sandwich was very good. The first time we stopped in there was an onion quiche that was fabulous. We tried the blueberry wedge of goodness one day and the plum the next. perfectly flavored. Nice outdoor seating. We were in Fort Meyers for only 4 days, but had to return for a second time while there. read more

The desserts are definitely on point- shared the tiramisu with my mom and it was a huge slice. Super light and fluffy. The coffee was just okay- I could hardly taste the coffee and there was very little lavender flavor. The owner is super nice and brought the cake out to us though! There is indoor and outdoor seating. read more

It is a cute little cafe located in downtown Fort Myers. We met up with friends for coffee on a Sunday morning. The place was decorated for Christmas and festive. We got a table in the courtyard.

This was so refreshing and the owners were so much fun to talk with. One person in our family was an exchange from Germany and she just gushed over them and the baked goods.

In response to a recent Yelp review of this restaurant, by Lesli S., dated February 18, 2025, we'd like to clarify regarding our dog, as we believe Peter's German Cafe deserved a 5-star review and we feel badly that a 4-star review was given due to our dog. Our dog is in fact a service dog, and trained and certified to perform a very specific task. She is a PSD (Psychiatric Service Dog), and as such is able to perform her duties in a stroller (she's in a stroller due to Intervertebral disc disease, and needs the assistance of a stroller after walking for a period of time). She was not wearing her identifying patches because under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), they are not required to wear vests, ID tags, or specific harnesses. We want to thank the wonderful owners and employees at Peter's German Cafe for the consistently great food and service, and for always being so accomodating to us and our dog. We give them five stars every time! read more

The berry pie was AMAZING!!! Definitely recommend it with a double espresso! My 8 year old LOVED the Banana Nutella muffin! If we are back in town we will stop again! read more

We were on our way back to Cape Coral when I suggested we try Peter's German Ice Cream and bakery! The shop is located on Hendry Street and is totally adorable. There's lots of outside seating with a doggie bowl and and an overhang. Inside are little silver tables with red chairs that remind me of when I grew up in New York. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Dave ordered the scrambled egg breakfast sandwich with bacon and tomato on a everything bagel. I had the chicken and spinach empanada and we both had fresh ground delicious dark roast coffees! I spotted a German Cheesecake that looked just like the kind my mother's best friend baked! So I forced Dave to buy a piece lol! It was light and totally delicious! We haven't tried the homemade ice cream, but one customer was raving about it, They make everything from scratch! Next time we will bring Daisy and try the ice cream and get her some! They actually have vet approved ice cream for doggies! We love supporting local community businesses and Peter's is a wonderful addition to our area! read more
