    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!

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

    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!

    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.]

    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!

    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!

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

    We have been coming to French press for years, they just reopened from hurricane Ian, place looks great, thankfully still the same good food and coffee!

I wanted to try the sizzle menu before it went away so I stopped in and enjoyed a delicious meal. I started off with the Brussels sprouts. I'm still kinda new to liking them but the sauce and nuts on them too were really tasty! For my entee I had the hot sausage rigatoni and it was so good, I ate every bite! And for dessert I tried crème brûlée for the first time ever. Boy have k been missing out. I could have licked that plate clean haha. I also tried the she's a fairy which is an espresso martini but with ube and it was so good. They layer the top with this foam which is kinda marshmellowy and so good. I say at the bar and the service was great, the other staff members were very helpful too always taking my plates and even helped box up some leftover for me! Can't wait for my next meal at gather!

    Fun coffee shop with tons of food and drink options, lots of seating and quick service!…read more Came on a busy morning and ordered the coffee flight - they have some pre picked or you can create your own. I picked my own and thought it was a fun way to try several of their lattes! I believe you can get it hot or iced but definitely dine in if you get this! 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!

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!
