The orange crunch cake was delicious! The drinks were terrible though. They are 3.50 each and me and my 3 girls all tried something different. They were not drinkable. My girls even asked for something else and the new drinks were equally as bad. The cashier was super rude and my husband tipped her anyway. read more

Loved our visit to Boops in Captiva Island. It was our first time. This is a dessert shop with cakes, ice cream, drinks like coffee and milkshakes. Happy to see there is a parking lot across the street bc parking in Captiva Island is very limited. They have seating inside and outside. We sat inside with our small dog and they were very welcoming to all of us. They even brought our pup some water and a pup cup. Enjoyed the orange crunch cake. Definitely unique. They said that is their specialty so I had to try it. My husband enjoyed his strawberry milkshake and I agree it was quite tasty. Very happy for this stop which is fun since the Bubble Room and Bubble Room Emporium are also in this area to visit. Definitely a must stop Captiva Island Spot!!! read more

Really cute, small ice cream parlor atmosphere, which they somehow managed to make it look very old fashioned. I loved the one little booth with illuminated stained glass, and the carved wood & stained glass bar backdrop at the counter. There are a few tables inside, and a few outdoor tables. This is a nightly hot spot for the area, and it is jam packed after dinner. We got ice cream & sorbet. Both were VERY sweet. The ice cream was decent. We only got chocolate & vanilla flavors. The chocolate was my favorite. Their sorbet was oddly stretchy. I don't know why, maybe they added emulsifiers? It was not like any sorbet I'd had before. So, if you want sorbet, just know that it will be more chewy than what you might expect. Servers were great. Efficient & friendly despite a VERY busy evening. read more

The Orange Crunch Cake is World Famous And I will say that it is worthy of that claim. The Chocolate Cake is pretty good too. There's also IceCream and Coffee available here. The Betty Boop theme is fantastic. Service was friendly and quick and we were on our way. read more

An offshoot of The Bubble Room, Boops is a cute little ice cream parlor/breakfast spot next door. We enjoyed our breakfast immensely, and the coffee was delicious. Bubble Room's famous huge hunks of cake can also be ordered here, which is nice, because after our huge dinners, we were too full to order dessert the night before. Customer service was good, interior was clean, and the people watching outside is fun. read more

Amazing ice cream and friendly, quick service! Love the old school candy shop vibe too!

Best cake, hands down. The most interesting and different cake is the orange crunch. Pieces are huge! We've been eating this cake for 25 years. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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.

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 love the Bubble Room, but Boops really expedites the process of getting cake. Their ice cream is also fantastic- it's a really cool little spot! The employees are all super nice, patient with kids and the prices are reasonable. Everytime I've been there, I wish they had a dolly on standby, so someone could wheel me out the door. Everything is delicious.! read more

If the staff/management was better, this would be 5 stars. The food/coffee/ice cream was excellent the three times we went. However, unlike next door where the staff is very friendly, this staff was rude, unfriendly, and once even cursing in front of little kids. You work at an ice cream store--try smiling and interacting with customers. Also, every time we were in there the store (floors/tables) was filthy while 3 employees just chat behind the counter. read more

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. read more

Boops has potential, but the service is a total bottleneck. We waited an unreasonably long time for ordering and food. The same staff seemed to be running the place all day with no sense of urgency or organization. It's not that they weren't working hard, it's that the whole operation feels poorly managed. The food itself? Actually pretty good. But when the wait makes you question whether it's worth staying, that's a problem. Efficiency matters, and Boops hasn't figured that out yet. I'd come back if they ever sorted out the chaos -- until then, it's a hard pass for anyone on a schedule.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Step back in time at this sweet little spot! Tiny little soda fountain with delicious treats - we tried the Jamaican rum cake and it was a delight! Easy parking and we enjoyed our coffee and cake out under the umbrellas. We hope the Bubble Room reopens soon! read more

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! read more

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) read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

So glad this place is open! Took a road trip onto the island. First time since Hurricane Ian. Bubble room cake has always been a part of my family since the 80s. Took a little day adventure with my dad for some cake because that's what we do. Boops is so cute and a great idea for Bubble Room. The original intent was to move the dessert to-go line. Boops obviously serves Bubble Room cake. But they also have some of their breakfast and lunch sandwiches. They also have ice cream and Illy coffee. I love the retro vibe! read more
