The only thing better than great breakfast food is looking around and seeing all the wonderful dogs that are sharing breakfast with their humans. Our dear little Hurricane Charley enjoys meeting new people from around the world.

Great place and good coffee. Loved the coffee mugs! I will try to go back and get the orange sweet roll.

Popular place; had to wait about 20 minutes on a Saturday morning but the gift shop next store is very nice and worth stopping at. Staff was friendly. Had the coconut french toast which was delicious and a mimosa; great way to spend our last meal on Sanibel before heading home.

This is a small restaurant across from Bailey's in a little shopping area. It's always crowded so that means it must be good, right? Well, the service was slow and my breakfast was mediocre. Sausage was overcooked or old ~ may return and give it another go ~ or not.

This is not your typical review, however, although my taste buds did not get the privilege of eating the food, my eyes evaluated the rest. I drove by this Cafe daily wanting to try it and the line was out the door, it must be good! When I asked the people who lived/worked on the island where a good place... More

we ate there a couple of times, and the food was very tasty, the staff friendly, not much of a wait, there are cute little shops there so, you have a pager when your table is ready.

When we arrived to Sanibel I remembered that we had been to Over Easy during our prior visit with our kids, about ten years ago. I remembered this place as very crowded but I could recall a very goo lunch (I think...). This time it was just the 2 of us and we went for breakfast, a little off season,... More

I got the Waldorf Chicken Sandwich. I was somewhat disappointed in the chopped/diced chicken. Was about the size of the celery dices. I have had much better at other restaurants. Need to work on their chicken chunks! Husband had the cheeseburger. Said it was OK, but nothing special. It does offer pet-friendly patio seating and they brought out a bowl... More

This is more like a cafe/diner style, but the prices are very reasaonable. Open for Breakfast and Lunch. The outdoor area has fans and allows dogs on leashes. The breakfast and lunch were reasonable, fast and good
