You know a place will be good when there is a 25 minute wait for a table. This place was good! My wife had the pancakes and eggs dish, and I had the gulf shrimp omelet. Both were very good. Rachel, our server, was very attentive. She kept our coffee mugs filled. This place had pictures of the destruction associated with Hurricane Ian a few years ago. Amazing how they were able to clean up and essentially start over. We highly recommend this place! read more

Over Easy Cafe is one of the few breakfast spots on the island and we absolutely love this place. They had a rough couple of years because of hurricanes and are finally in a new location which is higher ground and beautiful. Their new location is in the Village Shops. We had about a 15 minute wait for a table inside We were totally ok with that because it was in the triple digits temperature wise. Once we were seated all of us were ready to order immediately. We already knew exactly what we wanted. To start with we ordered the Giant Homemade Cinnamon Roll. Simply put was love this...Warm, fresh and glazed. For entrees I ordered the Mediterranean omelette (Sautéed spinach, onion, artichoke, tomato, black olive and feta cheese) with home fries and rye toast. The omelette was made perfectly, home fries were well seasoned, rye toast paired well with the omelette; my wife ordered the Bacon and Cheese omelette with side of corn beef hash. She said everything came out great; My mother in law ordered scrambled eggs with a side of corn beef hash. She said she liked her meal; My sister in law ordered the Mexican Omelette with no onions(Sautéed onions, bell peppers, jalepeños, diced tomatoes, sausage with cheddar jack cheese and a side of salsa and sour cream) with biscuits and a side of cottage cheese. She had to send back her omelette because she found onions in the omelette. Once came back things were good. Overall we love this place and it will always be on our list. read more

Over Easy Cafe - crab and asparagus omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sanibel, Florida

During our many trips to Sanibel over the past 30 years, the Over Easy Café has been a breakfast staple for us. Since Hurricane Ian, OEC has moved from its charming Tarpon Bay Road bungalow to an even cuter spot on Periwinkle--about two blocks east--and they haven't missed a beat. The decadent, oversized Orange Roll is a must-order for us every visit. Today we added the Western Omelet and the Farmers Skillet, both hearty, flavorful, and served piping hot. Beyond the tasty food and quick service, the staff deserves a shout-out. They're consistently warm, attentive, and genuinely happy you're there. We also spotted some Kansas City Chiefs memorabilia and learned the owners are fellow Kansas Citians. One of these days, we hope to meet them. As we walked out, my wife said she could eat breakfast at OEC every day. I reminded her we only have one more breakfast left on this trip--so I think we both know where we'll be tomorrow. read more

We have been coming to Over Easy for many years now, it is truly the best breakfast on the island! We love the Tervis' cups full of their iced tea. Even if there is a wait, we love to walk around the shops while we wait! Some of our favorite dishes are the egg sandwich, the gulf shrimp omelet, eggs benedict and more. Truly can not go wrong here. Bonus points from our family, the owners have Missouri/Kansas City roots! This is always a mandatory stop for my family when they visit town and I try and swing by every so often now that I live in Ft. Myers. We love Over Easy Cafe read more

Glad to see this local breakfast & brunch spot come back after the hurricanes. The staff is very accommodating and pet friendly too! We shared multiple dishes for brunch on Sunday and the portions are beyond generous. The breakfast burrito is huge and packed with flavor. The 2 egg omelet croissant sandwich is fluffy and big enough to share between two people. Make sure you get a cinnamon roll / orange roll to go! read more

This was such a great meal! We were up early on a Saturday morning and visited for breakfast! The outside seating was perfect. On the day we visited the weather was outstanding and we had such a great seat in the shade. The service was so efficient. We chose to share a few breakfast items like the orange roll and the fruit and yogurt parfait. My husband had an iced tea and said it was outstanding. We love the cute chicken cups. We also thought the prices were excellent for Sanibel. read more

Over Easy Cafe is one of the few breakfast spots on the island and our personal favorite. They had a really rough couple of years because of hurricanes and are finally in a new location which is higher ground and bigger and beautiful. I cannot say how incredibly happy for them we are! Welcome to your new home and so glad to see you back!! Their new location is in the Village Shops, we were not too sure where but it is sort of in the middle, with shops around them. They have some tables outside (way to hot in the summer despite their fans and giant umbrellas) and then tables inside. We had about a 15 minute wait for a table inside. We had 5 so their larger tables were fewer. We truly didn't mind waiting as there are so many shops in the same shopping village. Over Easy is a great spot for breakfast, they also serve lunch but they are not open for dinner. We prefer breakfast here. You have to start with one of their giant cinnamon roles. This is so large, very delicious and something our family shares. We order only one since it is very large and their portions are large. They do have two different flavors, but we prefer the classic cinnamon rolls. We all chose something different and we all really enjoyed our breakfast. My mom went with the Corned beef hash and eggs for $14. This was grilled corned beef hash with 2 eggs your style and choice of toast. It was so good! The hash was crispy and crunchy and really flavorful. I even enjoyed it. MY dad went with a classic breakfast, The Ho Hum for $12. This was 2 eggs your style, choice of bacon or sausage links or sausage patties or ham steak or Canadian bacon served with your choice of toast, and then choice of home fries, grits, tomatoes, or fresh fruit. Classic all American breakfast. He did the sausage patties and did not really like the flavor, but my husband ate them and said they were tasty to him. My husband went with his favorite dish, the Big Bertha's Breakfast for $16. This was grilled breakfast potatoes, mushrooms, onions bell peppers, tomatoes, sausage, bacon and ham with cheddar jack cheese, topped with 2 eggs your way and your choice of toast. He usually orders this and always enjoys it. It is a huge portion, served in a skillet. My sister wen with the classic eggs benedict for $13. It is toasted English muffin topped with grilled Canadian bacon, 2 poached eggs and benedict sauce. She usually loves it, but this time she did not fully enjoy the flavor of the benedict and the poached egg was hard, not runny like they usually are with a benedict. I did my favorite, cheese omelet with bacon added for $12 plus additional $2 for the bacon. It is a 3 Egg Omelets served with home fries, grits, tomatoes, or fresh fruit and choice of toast. I also added cheese to the grits to make them extra delicious. The portion was so large I could not finish the entire plate. I love their omelets, they are cheesy and so good. I do wish there was more bacon inside especially since it is an extra cost, but it is still really delicious. Overall this is a great stop. We will continue to come and visit year after year. Their breakfast is so good and honestly one of the only ones on the island. The owners are so lovely and friendly. The servers are great as well, always checking on you. They also have a small gift shop in the same shopping area, that sells some of their merchandise. We had to get one of their classic cups. They serve all their beverages in a Tervis cup with roosters on it. We had to buy one! We actually got a couple so we each had them. They also sell their coffee cups which are very pretty. I highly recommend this restaurant, great food, great service, amazing story. It just needs to be added to your list. read more

So glad they've survived the storms and reopened on higher ground. Great breakfast, great service, and nice people. read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots on the island! Their menu is extensive, with great breakfast and lunch options. Bonus point for having gluten free options available. The staff is so kind and welcoming, it really is a neighborhood spot! It is small so expect a wait on weekends. read more

Okay, we are in paradise so there is that! I traded snow boots for a bathing suit; !! We wanted breakfast/brunch this morning and this cute cafe wasn't far from our condo. I can't really tell you what it looks like inside because we sat outside in the sun and shade and watched the people. We started off with sunrise mimosas made from prosecco and fresh squeezed orange juice. Absolutely scrumptious!!! I'll take a dozen more!! My husband had the traditional breakfast of over medium eggs with bacon, toast and a side of fried potatoes. I had a side biscuits and gravy, a side of grits and a side of bacon. Now let's get real, I am a snob about biscuits because I make some of the best biscuits this side of the Mason Dixon and these biscuits this morning were not okay. I'm sure 7up biscuits are in somebody's yummo list, NOT mine!!! That said the gravy was good, needed seasoning but I would rather add my own that have someone else do it for me. The grits though, CHEF'S KISS!!! Perfect!! My husband said his eggs landed on the harder side of medium and the potatoes weren't his style but overall this place was great. We did not get the pancakes but the guy behind us did and they were huge. I'd try those next time. If you're in Sanibel, try this place. It's a go to and bonus, there's some super cute shops here. read more

Located in the Olde Sanibel Shoppes, my family has been going to the Over Easy cafe since it was Amy's Over Easy cafe. There is inside and outside seating, and the food is always superb. The ambiance is like an old farmhouse- before "farmhouse chic" was a thing. Today I got the Mediterranean omelette and it did not disappoint. The iced coffee was 'just' coffee poured over ice and it was delish! They don't have dairy free milk options, just FYI. Lynn took care of us today and she was wonderful! We will always return every time we're on Sanibel! read more

When your boat day gets cancelled because of rough waters from the storm, the next best thing is to head to breakfast before the place fills up! We grabbed the first table of the day at Over Easy Cafe in Sanibel, and the moment my sister saw the Giant Homemade Sticky Orange Roll on the menu, she pointed it out to me because she knew it was right up my alley! After that, I couldn't think of anything else, so I had to give it a try. And let me just tell you, my whole table kept eyeing it when it came to the table because it looked SO good. As luck would have it, it tasted just as amazing! The service was friendly and accommodating of our larger party popping in unexpectedly for breakfast, and the food was unbelievable. We dined outside on the patio and had a relaxing, enjoyable breakfast - one we'll repeat again and again during future visits to Sanibel and Captiva Islands. read more

This is a fantastic hideaway restaurant on Sanibel island. Serving breakfast and lunch. My husband and Mom had breakfast and I choose a lunch BBQ pork sandwich. It was excellent! As someone who does not eat Biscuits & Gravy Incan only say it looked real. Sometimes you go to a restaurant and it looks like a congealed slop, this was legit homemade! Hubs said it was delicious. Mom ate the whole omelet for the first time this trip. Loved it! My sandwich was great! It's rebuilt since Ian and beautiful! Our server was so helpful and though it was busy he took the time to help us and answer questions and talk about the rebuild. Stellar! GO read more

Stopped in for a late lunch about 30 minutes prior to closing. The staff did not make us feel rushed at all. Service is great. I had the Ruben, which was very good. The fries are better than McDonald's. My wife enjoyed the BLT as well. This was our first visit since Hurricane Ian in their new location, and I quite like the motif. It's actually a bit more upscale than the old store, which is nice. read more

We went there for breakfast while on vacation. Everything about this place was amazing. The atmosphere the service and especially the food. Portions were huge, food was perfectly cooked. The best breakfast we've had. Pancake were huge, light and fluffy.. You won't leave hungry as the portions are big and the prices are reasonable. Great place.! read more

This breakfast place is actually one of our very favorites. The food is great. The servers are efficient -- BUT!!! The last 3 times we have been there, they started vacuuming about 15 minutes after we got our food and about 30 minutes before they say they are closed. IT'S A REALLY LOUD VACCUUM!! IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK OVER! They say they are open until 2:00 which means someone could walk in at 1:45 and expect to be served. I did not do this but it's reasonable. Today, the vacuuming started at 20 minutes til 2:00 -- all around our table more than once!! We literally had to stop talking. It was clear they wanted us to leave. It's also important to note that their servers are good at serving but don't smile and seem irritated. DON'T BE IN THE PEOPLE BUSINESS IF YOU DON'T LIKE PEOPLE. And don't get a bad reputation on a small island. Word gets around. read more

we spent a few days on Sanibel during the end of march. decided to try this place for breakfast. Waiter was a nice guy, we asked to start with oatmeal waiter confirmed we wanted it before our breakfast. Oatmeal came up follow by your breakfast right after, so much for the plan. my wife had a bacon and cheese omelette and I have ham and eggs. my wife's bacon was so overcooked that is lost any taste, just crunchy. one of my eggs was served with a broken yoke. that is a no no. read more

We came here three different times during out 2-week stay (best breakfast on the island). The first time was the best, nice inside table, excellent service and their shrimp omelet is oustanding. Just the right amount of delicious shrimp with tomatoes and Swiss cheese with Hollandaise sauce on the side. Ordered this all three times! My memories pre-hurricane Ian was of their orange roll being incredibly delicious but was really disappointed. Don't know if my expectations were too high or it wasn't the same but more like a fluffy donut. Tasty but nothing special. Got their cinnamon roll the second time, when we came here with friends, and it was also just ok. My opinion anyway. Service was good the second time when we came with another couple (bit of a hard time getting refills outside). Third time the service was actually pretty bad, this guy overlooked us more than served us. Forget refills and as we were on the way to the airport could have used some more attentive service. So service averaged out to be good. Don't forget to buy one of their cute mugs--they have a whole giftshop in the same shopping center. Expensive for a mug but worth it--I use it every morning as a great memory of the trip to Sanibel. read more

This place is amazing!! My family and I tried the Lighthouse Cafe the next day and we all decided we should've gone back for breakfast #2! There was a minimal wait time, service was sweet and the food was EXCELLENT. My youngest had French toast, my husband and oldest had one of their 3 egg omelets and were pleasantly surprised. I had the Y'all Benedict! OH MY GOSH I miss it already! Homemade crumbly biscuit with sausage patties, poached eggs and topped with sausage gravy. The potatoes were delicious too. DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE ISLAND! 12/10! read more

Great experience ordering two meals to go. Neatly wrapped with utensils and condiments. They have a delicious Mexican Breakfast Burrito and Omelette Sandwich on Croissant. Drove 25 minutes home, and it was still piping hot! Giant Cinnamon Roll was the perfect finish. Staff was friendly, inviting, and the atmosphere made a lovely Sunday morning. read more

The staff are fast and friendly. The omelettes are made with fresh vegetables and are delicious. Great coffee and plenty of it read more

We come all the way out here for Over Easy Cafe and it never disappoints! They were closed for a bit but they are open again and better than ever! You have to get the cinnamon roll, but they also have an orange roll if that's more your speed. Also the best oj from sun harvest. Go visit them but be warned, it gets busy because it's so good! read more

Great food! Great service! Cannot say enough good things. Be prepared to wait, it's very popular!

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 We went to the new location of this cafe. They are still fantastic. The warm Cinnamon Roll! The French Toast! We added blueberry, bananas,strawberries and whipped cream! I've tried many sandwiches on the menu. They're all good but the BLT with fresh fruit always calls me back. Crispy bacon, crunchy toast, excellent tomatoes. EVERY TIME. Breakfast or lunch. Service has always been and still is great. The long time FOH crew is still there quick and efficiently pleasant! The look of the Cafe is modern and also quaint. It is laid out nicely and sparkling clean. Indoor or outdoor seating. We chose outdoor in front of a fan and enjoyed every moment. SEE YOU THERE! read more

We had a table towards the back, but it was out of the way. The place was kind of noisy, because it was full of people so it must be a popular place. Our server was fast and friendly and even had our muffin cut in half, buttered and warmed on the grill & brought out an extra plate; as we were sharing the food. The salad was piled high with all those the ingredients that make a Cobb Salad great! (as you can see from my photos.) I will be honest, the muffin wasn't very big and was just average tasting. The star of the show was the raspberry walnut vinaigrette. I would love to come back and try some of their breakfast items! read more
