    Norwegian omelet, tiramisu latte, traditional breakfast, americano.

    French Press is such an adorable little spot tucked away in a shopping district on the water. They have indoor seating and a covered patio. There are ramps if you have strollers/wheelchairs. We visited this spot in the evening for gelato, then came back for a really good breakfast. The Norwegian crepe has a lemon sauce on top that was the star of the show.

    Love coming here! Workers are so friendly, all pastries are delicious and drinks are fantastic. This is our favorite coffee spot in Cape Coral!

    The French Press has good food, good views, and wonderful staff. The view of the docks is wonderful and seems to be a hotspot for meetings!

    This is a cool coffee spot. They serve much more than coffee! They offer crepes, different pastries, sweet treats and gelato! They have indoor and outdoor dining. We visited on a Friday and there was a band playing live music outside. I really didn't see a specific coffee I wanted. I mentioned to one of the baristas that I like a specific drink at Starbucks. She said she had it before and could make something similar. It is an iced cinnamon caramel espresso oat milk! Wow, she did a great job and it was delicous!! You need to check this spot out!

    The best customer service and such a good location. Internet was a bit slow but the food and drinks are amazing!

    We had breakfast here during our visit from Buffalo and it's so nice!! We ordered drinks, breakfast sandwiches, and crepes and ate out on the patio overlooking the water. The staff was super nice and welcoming! Extra points because they're dog friendly!

    The lady working the early shift was sooooo nice! Such a cute shop with lots of fresh items. Variety of food and coffee. The almond croissant was warm and yummy.

    Breakfast custom-made by manager, Crystal.

    Exceptional food, service, and ambience. Both indoor and outdoor waterfront seating.

    Another stop, Mom wanted proper gelato and so we headed to French Press which is located in the Cape Harbor Marina in south Cape Coral. Not precisely easy to find but when facing the marina, it is to the right of the traffic circle. Inside, free wifi and power outlets so if you're looking to laptop then this is a good spot to do so. As for the gelato, it was the right consistence but perhaps a little too sweet. [Review 10306 overall, 71 of 2019.]

    I haven't been to the French Press in a very long time. I used to come there often with the Cape Coral Coffee Lover's Club. Today we decided to meet our friends in a safe but lovely setting, where we could enjoy breakfast together. Nestled in the shops of Cape Harbour, the store overlooks the beautiful Marina. We got there around 11:00 and there was only one other couple outside with us. The store itself is a charming little place and the staff was masked and very friendly. I ordered half dark roast and pumpkin flavored coffee. Dave ordered the "French Press Coffee", where the Press was brought outside with a coffee cup. Very good! He ordered the turkey club panini and I had the whole white tortilla with eggs, cheese and sausage. The food was pretty decent, but I always like my eggs freshly scrambled instead of what I call a block of egg. If I wasn't watching my carbs (and my weight) I probably would have opted for a freshly made crepe instead! The soup was broccoli cheddar and it sounded delish! Our friends came and joined us on this beautiful, glorious day! Makes me happy to be alive and lifted my spirits by actually enjoying myself with friends and good food. Thank you French Press for providing a delightful venue and for being open during these trying times. We love supporting our neighborhood businesses!

    Cute spot. Lots of parking options nearby though it's busy. There's plenty of seats inside and free wifi. Cute looking desserts. The iced vanilla lavender latte I had was really yummy!

    French Press Outside Patio, they added a new awning. So nice!

    A long time fan of Love Boat ice cream, I am embarrassed to admit I'd never heard of Pinocchio's…read moreuntil we stumbled upon their Fort Myers location tonight while looking for an ice cream shop in the area. We were drawn in by the promise of unique homemade flavors, and Pinocchio's did not disappoint. We settled on the Gator Stew (vanilla based ice cream with pistachio, chunky peanut butter and Reese's PB cups), Wedding Bells (Italian almond wedding cake), and Dirty Sand Dollar (vanilla ice cream with caramel, malted milk balls, and chocolate chunks). The ice cream was very flavorful, especially Wedding Bells, which had more almond flavor than anything almond I've ever tried. The portions are also huge. We both ordered the piccolo (2 scoops) and were rewarded with leaning towers of creamy goodness -- see attached photos. The employees were friendly and the shop, including the restroom, was very clean. Lots of parking in the shopping center. Next visit, I'd love to try Pinocchio's delicious-looking ice cream sandwiches, homemade cookies, or their half milkshake-half sundae (mainly to see how that is even possible). Run don't walk to Pinocchio's!

    * Update- for some reason I can not respond or react to Donna's reply…read more Donna, thank you for the response and input. I was not aware requests could be made. Each time I have mentioned being disappointed no Bday cake was available, no one has mentioned this as an option, and actually tonight, I was told by one of the young ladies that in the 6months she has worked here, she has not seen Birthday cake as an option . PS- there are always lots of options/flavors (sadly nothing that compares to bday cake IMO) and the service is always great, so even though I choose not to get anything on these occasions when birthday cake is not available, my family still proceeds to get their favorites. So disappointing! We are from Indianapolis and our daughter lives in Bonita- we make it a point to come here everytime we visit (which is often)- twice now in April (the first week and this week) we have came here and no birthday cake ice cream! Parrots nest is NOT the same! Birthday cake has literally has been my absolute favorite since coming here in 2020!
