    Orange Crunch Cake
    Jennifer J.

    Without fail, we stop by Boops every summer when our family visits Captiva Island. It's not a trip to Captiva if I don't get my Orange Crunch Cake. The shop is adorable, with a retro vibe and Betty Boop decor. They keep it simple here, serving up the islands best cakes and ice cream in a cute little parlor setting. The Orange Crunch Cake is definitely the best there is, but everything is good here. Parking is available across the street, and it's a small lot but we've always been able to find a spot.

    Boops by the Bubble Room is located on Captiva Island and is the sister shop to the Bubble Room. The Bubble Room was closed for so long due to Hurricanes and water damage but is finally back and open to the public. While it was closed, you could still get the famous Bubble Room Cakes here at Boops. We always get the cakes here now because we like to get them the first night since it takes a day or two to eat them. Then if we feel like it, we usually get another slice to share all together, they are literally that good! Their store is SMALL! I mean tiny. Some nights driving back in we can see how packed they are. They have seating inside and outside but in the summer it is way too hot to sit outside! There are only a few tables. They also have everything to go. They have ice cream, muffins, breakfast sandwiches, coffee and the best item....Bubble Room Cakes! This is what we go for but also frequently stop for an afternoon espresso. This the first year that the first night we went, the staff was not very friendly. The island sells coupon books, and one of the coupons was for a free espresso if you ordered a cake. Well we ordered 5 but only expected 1 espresso. There were quite a few team members standing in the back not seeming to be busy. The cashier was being trained and the trainer was the one that ended up giving us major attitude. We ordered our 5 cakes, stepped to the side. I could see her bagging up the cakes and one fell and toppled over, it was up side down, the cheesecake and all the fruit toppings were falling off. I turned it up right (it was sitting on the counter) and she snapped at me saying, "What is that piece not good enough?". I was totally taken aback and just said I'm just turning it over. She then threw all 5 cakes into a tiny bag we could hardly hold. I was not even going to ask for a second bag. I also had to go back and ask for the espresso. She threw it at me again stating, "only 1". I'm not really sure what the problem was, we went early because I know how busy it gets and no one else was in there. There were almost 8 employees so its not like they didn't have enough coverage. I was just a little disappointed in the service we received. However, this was the first time since they opened we have ever experienced that. The second time we visited this year, they were welcoming and friendly and packed to the rim. They even got our cake really quick while everyone else was still waiting for their ice cream. I am not even a cake person but I will always get a cake here. I love the cheesecake and last year I could not get it. I was so happy it was back. it is a THICK graham cracker crust and topped with slices of fresh fruit. My dad choose the orange crunch cake which is a yellow cake and brown sugar almond layers and orange cream cheese frosting. It is delicious and probably the most popular on the menu! My mom ordered the white Christmas which is white cake with almonds and covered in whip cream and coconut. She loved it and it was a nice piece of cake. My sister order the tropical breeze which mandarin orange cake with pineapple cream cheese icing and topped with fruit. Also very delicious and very island like. My husband always orders the Jamaican Rum Cake which is buttery pound cake soaked in rum with chocolate mouse and a pecan rum glaze. He loves it and is the only one who really enjoys it so it's all his, no sharing! We also ordered a slice of their chocolate cake on another night, which is moist chocolate cake with chocolate fudge toffee and pecan crunch icing. This is probably the least value as it's the same price as the rest but the smallest slice. However it is fantastic and we always have to share since it truly is delicious. It is very fudgy and chocolatey. I really like this one. All in all this is a great place, great food, sweets, friendly staff and just all around cuteness. I highly recommend checking it out next time you are in Captiva!

Aside from the cakes all of us will also get an espresso. The staff at Boops this year left a lot to be desired. I would say customer service was lost on them during training....

There were quite a few team members standing in the back not busy, just laughing at something on the cellphone.

I turned it up right (it was sitting on the counter) and she snapped at my wife, "What is that piece not good enough?". We were stunned at her comment. She then threw all 5 cakes into a tiny bag we could hardly hold. We didn't dare ask for a second bag, we were taking away her time with the rest of the staff looking at the cellphone. On top of this we also had to go back and ask for the espresso. She threw it at us again stating, "only 1". This was unequivocally the most angry person we've encountered in all of our time vacationing in Captiva over the years. There were about 8 employees so it's not like they didn't have enough coverage. I was upset over the service we received. The second time we visited this year, they were welcoming and friendly and packed to the rim. They even got our cake really quick while everyone else was still waiting for their ice cream. Different staff members were present. My wife and I are not even cake people but we will always get a cake here. My wife LOVES the cheesecake and last year she could not get it. This year it was available and she was so happy it was back. It has THICK graham cracker crust and topped with slices of fresh fruit. My father in law ordered the orange crunch cake which is a yellow cake and brown sugar almond layers and orange cream cheese frosting. It is delicious and probably the most popular on the menu!

My sister in law order the tropical breeze which mandarin orange cake with pineapple cream cheese icing and topped with fruit. Also very delicious and very island like. I always order the Jamaican Rum Cake which is buttery pound cake soaked in rum with chocolate mouse and a pecan rum glaze. I absolutely loves it and I am the only one who enjoys it in the family... so it's all mine, no sharing! We went back another night ordered a slice of their chocolate cake. It is moist chocolate cake with chocolate fudge toffee and pecan crunch icing. This is probably the least value as it's the same price as the rest but the smallest slice. With that being said it is fantastic. In one word.... Decedent. All in all this is a great place, great food, sweets, USUALLY have a friendly staff and just all around cuteness. I highly recommend checking it out next time you are in Captiva!

    We stopped by Boop's to grab some of the Bubble Room's famous cake. The coffee was pretty good, and the ice cream was delicious. The shop itself is adorable, with both inside and outside seating--such a fun little spot to visit.

    I love that the Bubble Room added this ice cream shop where you can also buy slices of their famous cakes! The updated building is still filled with old-timey ice cream shoppe knickknacks in the theme of Betty Boop. They serve (boozy) milkshakes and coffees and a few ice cream flavors (and a sorbet of the day) with a longer list of toppings. The no frills atmosphere fits with the simplicity of the island, but I would love to see a few more ice cream flavors than vanilla, chocolate, mint chocolate chip, and cookie dough. The Bubble Room is a staple on the island, and currently (November 2023) only Boops and the Emporium are open. Give them your support and cool off on a hot day!

    The cake was amazing. Rachael was such a wonderful hostess/clerk/manager and took care of us on "someone's" birthday. *be aware do to the effects of the Hurricane Ian that hit in 2022 there is still lots of recovery going on here in the islands... Boops has been closing earlier than the Yelp listing (suggestion: get there before 6pm)

    We ventured in here after spending some time at the beach. Being in need of a coffee and something refreshing to fuel our ride back home to Sarasota, we were happy to stumble upon this place. We learned that Boops (aptly named for Betty Boop as there is a statue of her in the establishment), is affiliated with the temporarily shuttered cool-looking restaurant next door. Boops offers coffee, drinks, ice cream and baked goods suck as cakes and muffins. We selected a coconut cake to share for a delectable sugar boost and we had ice coffees. We enjoyed the attentive service and the delicious coffee and treats. Check this adorable place out if you are in the area!

    The bubble room cake savior! We ended up taking a whole orange crunch cake home because why not. I also had a very delicious iced tea. It's a tiny place but the people are friendly and it's so nice to be able to find the bubble cake while the bubble room is still being worked on.

    This was my first time on Sanibel post hurricane. My friend who frequents the island suggested we come here for dessert after our lunch. I loved the cute, vintage vibes this place had. They not only have delectable desserts but they also have coffee and ice cream. We opted for two iced vanilla lattes and a single scoop of blueberry cheesecake ice cream. The first taste of the ice cream, was heaven in my mouth. Full of blueberry flavor, creamy, and perfectly sweet. Staff were helpful in helping navigate the menu and recommend choices. Overall, this place is wonderful. If in the area I would definitely stop by. This establishment is located next door to a fire place. Parking is across the street. There are tables both inside and out but keep in mind it can be limited as this place is very popular!

    Adorable place.... Super friendly staff... and AMAZING Orange Cake!!! Sad the restaurant wasn't open... but based on the cake alone.. it is a must have when in the area! Picture may not look great - but trust it was DELICIOUS!!

    Cute dessert shop with a few breakfast and lunch sandwiches. They have all the Bubble Room cakes and a few ice cream options. You can sit inside or out. Server was busy as he was the only one working

    Orange Crunch Cake

    The orange crunch cake lives up to the hype! After 20+ years and dozens of visits to Sanibel and Captiva, I finally made the trip from my hotel on Sanibel this past weekend specifically to try a slice. The slices are massive and will last one person a few sittings. Service wasn't very friendly but that cake is delicious -- even though I always thought it looked terrible because of the fake looking color and the consistency of the frosting. Don't go by how it looks because it tastes incredible. Can't wait for my next trip as I will drive out of my way for it again! The Boops space is pretty cute and modern too. 5 stars for the cake, 2 stars on the service which was speedy, but again, not very friendly/welcoming. Also wish they would sell the cake in smaller portions!

    See all

The food is decent -- you won't find fine dining here, but that's not really the point. The menu hits the beach bar essentials with fresh seafood, burgers, and a few island favorites. Service is friendly and efficient, even when the place gets busy, and the live music adds a great coastal vibe without overpowering conversation. It's the kind of place you drop into after a day at the beach, grab a drink, and just enjoy the scene. RC Otters isn't trying to be a Michelin-starred restaurant -- it's a beach bar, and a good one at that.

With its multi-colorful exterior it makes you feel in vacation mode just looking at it. They have an equal amount of indoor an outdoor seating, and we opted for outdoor when we came for breakfast. RC Otters is open the earliest of the few restaurants on Captiva, aside from Starbucks if you count that. All of the standard breakfast offerings were on the menu, plus a special of theirs is a breakfast sandwich that's an omelette wedged between two pieces of french toast. Kind of fun. The food was good, nothing stellar but it was decent. It was altogether an enjoyable morning with the colorful setting. They are open all day for other meals so can't speak to how the lunch or dinner food is, but we enjoyed the breakfast.

The shop is located on a quiet street right next to the Forrey Grill, a restaurant we like very much. There are tables outside the shop which is delightfully welcoming. As you walk in you might wonder if you were in Alice in Wonderland! Adorably furnished with comfy couches, tables and high tops. The menu is large along with all kinds of coffees and teas. There is also ice cream and home baked goods. We sat down and our server brought me a large tall cold unsweetened ice tea with lemon. David had a mocha frappe topped with whipped cream! He also ordered the spicy bean and sausage soup. I opted for a cup of broccoli cheese soup and a chicken salad sandwich on sourdough bread. The food was super delish. The chicken salad with lettuce and tomato was one of the best I've had in a long time. Mine also came with a fresh baked macadamia nut cookie! We enjoyed our lunch and took in the lovely surroundings. What a great place for a tea party, birthday party or baby shower! We will definitely return on our next trip going to the east coast!
