They of course serve up some delicious ice cream (prices are a little higher than maybe a normal spot but who cares - shop local, support local right?). I love their specialty waffle cones but the best part of course is their birthday cake ice cream. I tried their cookie dough one and I do wish there was more cookie dough for the cookie monsters muahaha. Actually they do have a Cookie Monster flavor that I'll for sure try out next time - just for the free blue tongue/blue lips effect hehe. LOVED that they're dog friendly and even have a little pup cup for the pups. Mine loved it so much that he got so tired of licking and couldn't finish haha but it was awesome having him enjoy his little vanilla ice cream with peanut butter drizzle (literally his fave) and a little milk bone. It's the perfect post beach treat or pre dinner dessert. Absolutely recommend if you're here on vacay or if you're regularly in the area. Shout out to my brother and sister for taking me here - great local spot to enjoy some delicious homemade ice cream!

Very comfortable, they have soft couch like chairs, large tables for studying areas, and high tops. This is by far the best hummus I've ever had. The service is always immaculate. We drove one day just so i could get hummus and he was out, however, he went out of his way and offered to make us a batch. Top shelf service! They have a variety of foods from international plates to even a good chicken salad sandwich. Their desserts are always amazing! Get the Nutella dessert :). They also have all types of drinks, cappuccinos, coffees, etc. Great place to come relax, study or just have a great lunch.

The service staff is so friendly and attentive. Ask to sit in the "Money Room"! The cocktails were stunning, both visually and in flavor, setting the perfect relaxed island mood. The famous "Cheeseburger in Paradise" lived up to every expectation--the patty was incredibly generous and cooked to perfection, making it one of the most satisfying burgers I've had anywhere. And the turtle ice cream? As adorable as it is delicious. Topped with a charming candy turtle, it's the kind of treat that makes you smile before you even take a bite. Be sure to take in the views from the historic water tower--breathtaking scenery that captures the untouched, timeless beauty of the area. Cabbage Key isn't just a meal, it's an experience--peaceful, nostalgic, and unmistakably Old Florida. I can't wait to return.

As you enter, there's a few tables for sitting and sipping or you can head to the couches and lounge chairs to relax and unwind with some board games or view the unique artwork/memorabilia on the walls. They have some specialty coffee drinks and tea flavors along with the classic coffee concoctions such as cappuccinos and americanos. As for teas, you can get those hot or iced. They have quite the selection of flavors such as hibiscus or honeydew. And if you're hungry, plenty of pastries to choose from along with breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Ice cream is also served here and it's Blue Bell! As someone who lives in Texas where Blue Bell is a blue blood, my heart skipped a beat seeing they serve it here. The baristas behind the counter are energetic with engaging personalities. One of them mentioned she's a coin collector and talked about the history of the penny which is being discontinued. My girlfriend and I found her facts and analytical dialogue fascinating as we heard her talk about it while we sipped our drinks. Yes, we were entertained! Definitely a must visit when you're in Punta Gorda; so glad it's within walking distance of mom and dad's!

We love supporting our local community as it is still recovering from Hurricane Ian. We crossed the bridge towards St. James City and towards the Cafe. It was bustling and it looks like a lot of snow birds have found this hidden gem. Everything is homemade and baked there. We ordered our usual- Scrambled eggs piled high on a Croissant with bacon and cheese. A delicious crispy concoction that keeps us coming back! Not to mention the fresh ground coffee and the little patio outside overlooking a peaceful lake. We ate our sandwiches outside in the cool beautiful breezy weather. The sandwich is so yummy and you need a fork and knife to cut through the delicate croissant. Then off we go to our favorite little Publix on Pine Island to grocery shop. A lovely way to begin our day!

The space is clean, comfortable, and quiet enough to settle in for a few emails before getting back on the road. It has that small town ease to it, the kind of place where you can exhale a bit before the next stretch of travel. There was no cortado on the menu, but the latte that the young lady made for me was exactly what I needed. Hot, fresh, and prepared with care. It had that balance of strength and smoothness that was excellent. This is a neat little coffee shop in a small town, the sort of unexpected stop that feels like a small reward for choosing the slower route. A real treat, and worth remembering the next time I pass through Arcadia. [Review 1605 of 2025 - 2182 in Florida - 25153 overall]

We were greeted promptly--my go-to is usually cold brew but I didn't see that on the menu so I ordered the Almond Joy latte (iced).

My dad got a black coffee which he enjoyed and my mom got the vanilla latte (hot) which she said was good. The shop itself is really cute with multiple seating areas. They have some sweets they sell as well as some potted plants for sale (which adds to the ambiance). Definitely worth stopping if you're somewhat nearby!

The address took us to the wrong spot but we were able to figure out it was on the other side of the road and hidden behind the building. Parking was easy and the small patio was great. We never went inside so I'm not sure if they have more seating in there or not. We even had manatees swimming by throughout our breakfast and it was fun watching the boats as well. My breakfast arrived how I ordered it and I enjoyed it. It's about the quality of your typical diner but with much higher prices since you are on Boca Grande. Luckily they had big umbrellas to block the sun because it was very hot! We would come back for sure.
