    Poppy seed bagel (not the sesame I ordered)
    Brooke P.

    Had high hopes but this was just okay. They have a steady crowd but that could be based on the location in the marina and having a captive audience. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of bathrooms, tables and the dirty dishes piled up by the garbage can left a lot to be desired. Service was friendly but I was unable to get the baristas attention to confirm whether my drink had been made as requested, since it didn't taste as I had ordered. I didn't care for my bagel and egg sandwich. The bagel seemed stale, it was toasted but dry (no butter) and my requested sesame bagel was served poppy seed instead :(. As we were heading to the airport and it had taken a long time to get to us in the first place, there was no time to request a new one.

    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!

    If you're looking for a coffee shop that feels like more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee,…read moreyou should check out Penny's in Cape Coral. The coffee is really good,flavorful, strong, and there are quite a few options to choose from. They also have Lotus energy drinks and other drinks if coffee isn't your thing. What we really like about Penny's is that you can actually stay awhile. We work from here and it's comfortable and easy to settle in, but it also works just as well for meeting a friend or grabbing breakfast. They're women-owned, which we always love supporting. Their breakfast menu has some fun choices, including a few more health-forward options, and they have books and games around the shop that you can enjoy while you're there. It just has a very easy, comfortable feel to it. You can come in for coffee, stay for breakfast, get some work done, meet up with friends, or even come back later for a glass of wine. (They offer wine selections!) Sometimes those are the places we appreciate most--the ones that don't feel like you have to rush in and out.

    There are many factors that make a coffee shop special. For starters and I'm sure you'll agree the…read morecoffee has to be amazing. Not just okay, but the kind of coffee that gives you the boost you need to get through the day. And if you plan to stay, the space matters just as much. It should feel welcoming and comfortable, with enough room to work, meet, catch up, or simply slow down for a while. What makes the story of Chocolattés even more meaningful is where it began. In 2003, Chocolattés opened inside HealthPark Medical Center, a place where most people probably don't wish to spend their day. Yet, one cup of coffee at a time, they found a way to uplift visitors, staff, and families during some of life's more difficult moments. Over the next 12 years, Chocolattés expanded to all four major hospitals, bringing that same experience to even more people. Today, with two locations in Southwest Florida, that story has evolved into something you can enjoy outside the hospital walls. And the coffee? This is craft coffee in every sense of the word. Their beans are roasted in-house, and there is almost a science behind how they create each cup. You can tell there is intention behind what they serve. The prices are definitely on the higher end, but I think Chocolattés is one of those places where you can justify it whether you're treating yourself to a really good cup of coffee or need something a little extra to get you through a long day at work. Our go-to orders? For Ariel, it's the Shaken Gorilla Vanilla Iced Espresso with banana, caramel, and vanilla For Hailey, it's Sea Turtle Mocha Latte chocolate, caramel, hazelnut & sea salt sprinkles.
