One of the scarce options for a coffee shop on Sanibel Island- the name & idea are cute but the…read moreexecution doesn't seem to entirely be there. The shop itself is super bare bones, they have cute pairings hung up haphazardly all over and it kind of seems like they didn't pay too much attention to details, but there's a good bit of seating and plenty of natural light to brighten the space. As for coffee, they have dozens of flavor combinations but it makes for pretty sweet drink options, and most of them seem to be make from syrups, so it's something I could just make at home and isn't super gourmet. But as one of the few options on the island for coffee, we were happy to get the drinks and a light lunch with friendly service here.

It's also a deli, so they offer other lunch options like sandwiches and pizza. They even have a small grocery section, which is convenient. They do serve coffee, but it's more of a standard self-serve brew rather than craft-style lattes. Overall, I'm really glad we stopped here for bagels. Definitely a solid breakfast spot!

And as a bonus, you get 10% off your ice cream purchase when you dine at Wickies. Great! The Magic Bus has taken over the previous Pinocchio's Ice Cream space (Pinocchio's moved to The Periwinkle Shops on Periwinkle Way). These folks here offer a nice variety of flavors along with Sanibel-themed souvenirs. Hubs ordered the butter pecan with chocolate syrup and I ordered a waffle bowl with one scoop each of strawberry and chocolate. The guy helping us mentioned it was his first day and while I totally understand everyone has to start somewhere, he seemed a bit frazzled. Unfortunately, the ice cream was a disappointment. After spending $21, both of us ended up throwing our ice cream away. Both of my scoops tasted freezer-burned and the butter pecan didn't really taste like butter pecan at all. Maybe we just got a bad batch- but why the 4+1/2 stars though?

I'm a local and have had a hard time finding just a relaxed coffee shop. Before today I would drive to the grocery store to get a cup of coffee at their coffee bars... not the coffee shop experience that I crave. Thank goodness this sweet little spot is here! I hope we can spread the word and get more visitors so The Carpenter's Cafe can open more often. Right now it's just open on Sunday.

Amazing vendors that offered amazing food!…read more There was a variety of vendors, from bread vendors to guac to fruit. The guacamole and salsa vendors absolutely amazing. They promised that this would be the best guacamole in the world, and it was. It was absolutely amazing. They also had a native plant garden to look at, which amazed me on which plants are native to here versus back home. They still had available parking space even though it was very very crowded. The paths were nice gravel and they even had sea shells in them to give them an extra tropical touch. As well as a LOT of palm trees. Good for people who want a tropical holiday feel.
