Good place to stop for a mid afternoon fruit smoothie. Good choice of fresh fruit and juice or soymilk base. We had one almost every day during our stay on SI. Also had their potent coffee - great way to start the day. After a few days, we stopped here to get coffee to take with us on the way... more

I wanted a good strong cup of coffee after a bike ride, and that is what we got. Fast service. Nice atmosphere. We ended up buying a pound to take home with us. more

The Bean has received many mixed reviews on TripAdvisor...but has been one of our fave spots in past years. Service has always been on "island time"....but their coffee drinks, like mochas, are by far the very best! more

Our past two trips to Sanibel, our last stop has been to the Bean. Want a quick breakfast and a good cup of coffee? Swing by the Bean and continue on your way. The coffee and food are both always good, and the food is a great value. It's because of this that I rate it a 4-star experience. The... more

Definitely somewhere to stop for a cup of joe if you're in need of some caffeine. We love ice coffee and this hit the spot! more

If you are looking for excellent coffee on Sanibel Island, try Sanibel Bean coffee house, where you can get coffee by the cup or by the bag. The place has a nice porch setting, on the main strip of Sanibel Island. The bagels are very good, and there is a limited menu, as typical with a coffee house. If you... more

Stopped once and got a Cafe Con Leche - went back 2 more times during the week for more. The Cafe Con Leche rivals any that I've had in Guatemala. Excellent! the blueberry muffin and scone were very good - scone was a little burnt but still tasty. Service was lacking each time - nobody was rude but not friendly... more

Went here for a sandwich for lunch. I have to say, there was definately a language barrier. I speak English. Ordered two sandwiches and two bagels for the kids. It took 15 minutes for them to make the sandwiches (there were maybe 1 or 2 other customers when I was there and they ordered coffee). After they made the sandwiches,... more

If you miss New York, this is the place for you. You can have surly rude staff and be surrounded by people from New York. That said, the people from New Jersey and New York are the nicest people in here. The guy behind the counter barked at us when we asked for the milk container to be refilled. And,... more

We've been going to the bean for years. Since the new owners took over, the place has been getting dirtier and dirtier. Food all over the floor and chairs. Tried to use the high chair, but there was no way I was even putting my high chair cover on top of all the food and dirt already on the chair!... more
