Over Easy Cafe

This place was delicious. Delicious mimosas and a massive menu to order from. Sat outside under the canopy on a warm spring day. Friendly service and prompt meal delivery. Friends enjoyed the eggs Benny’s and the omelet. The pancakes are delicious !!!

Had a great brunch after a long travel day the day before. We tried of few things including some Omelets, pancakes, eggs Benedict, and of course mimosas! Everything was delicious and hit the spot. Will definitely be coming back again!

Stopped by for a late lunch (they close at 2pm) with my nieces and enjoyed good quality food made fresh. Plenty of parking in the plaza available. They had indoor or outdoor seating available, we chose a table outside with a big umbrella covering it and a fan blowing to keep us cool. The kids menu was very affordable at $8-$10, which I appreciated. The portion sizes we received were great. Prices for adult meals ranged from $11 to $17 for an entree. Service was friendly and prompt! Would definitely go back again when in Sanibel and needing a good bite to eat!

Great menu with LOTS of choices! Super friendly staff serving meals made with ultra fresh ingredients. The hard decision is “ breakfast or lunch”

The absolute best place for breakfast! Do not miss the fresh baked orange roll or cinnamon roll! Eggs were also cooked perfectly over medium the way I requested. Server was attentive and friendly. Go support this business as the island recovers!

Our favorite breakfast spot on the island! You can never go wrong with what you choose, everything is delicious! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. It’s the best place to end our time on Sanibel with a great breakfast. Be sure to grab one of their cinnamon rolls- so good! Looking forward to trying their new location when we are back on the island so soon!

The perfect place for breakfast with fabulous service! Enjoyed the sunrise mimosa with the farmhouse skillet. Yum!

Hubby and I were driving around when we happened to see Over Easy Cafe. We're always up for a good breakfast, so we pulled into the parking lot. The parking lot is a bit small and pretty full. Luckily for us, someone was just leaving. So keep that in mind when you go. The mugs were so adorable that I bought a purple one for my daughter. Our server was super sweet! Everything we ordered was delicious and flavorful. The pancakes were so fluffy!! I loved my Eggs Benedict. Our coffee cups were always full. I have absolutely no complaints about our visit. You all definitely need to eat there!!

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

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!

We are back on island, and breakfast at over easy high on list of to do. Staff was welcoming and efficient. The cinnamon rolls and omelettes a great start to the day on island. Haven't tried lunch there yet but must do so soon! Great welcome back to island at over easy high.

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!

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!

This restaurant and staff make us smile. So happy to be here! Delicious food, gluten allergy friendly. Fantastic staff!

We enjoyed our breakfast and the staff was very friendly! The restaurant was very nice and the wait was short!

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

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.

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.

Very friendly people, great service, the food was delicious (we had breakfast) everything came out hot and as ordered! We will be back

Food was burned and i was treated rudely by one of the female owners won't be going back. My mother was also treated meanly by one of the owners. Not the nice woman but her wife.

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!

There was a wait upon arrival but moved relatively quick and definitely worth it. Both the daily specials (bacado omelet & the avocado steak wrap) were delicious. Must save room for the orange roll!! Possibly the best breakfast spot on the island.

Everything is made to order! Don't skip the orange roll. I know it sounds weird but you'll miss out! 10/10 I are biscuits and sausage gravy. The biscuit was delicious but the gravy was a little too thick. 8/10 Hubs got the sausage Benedict. 9/10. Orange juice and coffee were so good 9/10 waiter was attentive. We ate outside. Apparently they are moving to a new location in June. Worth a visit if on Captiva or Sanibel island.

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!

Never ever had a bad meal there, breakfast or lunch are absolutely fantastic eats. Highly recommended by me a frequent customer!!

Mediterranean omelette was delicious! Good portion. Service was great and quick. We ate at the outdoor patio; they had bug sprays for customers.

Loved my Meat lovers skillet! Yummy and packed with protein. Great spot on Sanibel Island. Pre Ian and post Ian! Cinnamon rolls and Orange rolls are the best! Goinback for lunch soon. Menus is amazing!

Never disappoints. Great menus, great food, great people. Popular so call ahead to check wait times. You won't be disappointed

The smiles are everywhere. This well-oiled machine known as the Over Easy Cafe waitstaff brings their great food, happy vibes and big smiles with every patron they serve. Positivity and fine food served here!

Cold benny,lots of dishes going by smothered in shredded bag cheese.Bag benny sauce.Served on cold plastic plate.I think I will open a cooking school in fl. Half fruit cup not ripe,do some people not notice. 17.50 before tip.CREEPS.

It was okay. I ordered poached eggs I was specific on how I wanted them but they dropped the ball ..they weren't cooked enough not even the whites were done. Yuck. Our fav breakfast place is the lighthouse cafe which we just discovered this year.

Fast and friendly service. I recommend sitting inside because the mosquitoes are bad outside. Good wise the French toast, pancakes and crispy bacon were delicious and the mimosas are GREAT!

Wonderful food, We will always return every year.

It's hard to break away from these Cafes on Sanibel Island that are serving up freshly squeezed Orange Juice every morning. That's the vibe we all connected with during our stay on Sanibel Island. Go for a beach walk to see the sun rise, take a shower and head towards a cafe to enjoy freshly squeezed OJ. Livin' the good life at the Over Easy Cafe. We're seated on the outside patio. The weather is just perfect as we're sipping on our beverages. I ordered a simple breakfast eggs, bacon and toast. It's the vibe I was feeling at the Over Easy Cafe. I did notice they had a signature pastry on the menu. We all took a small piece of the freshly baked, warm Orange roll. I'm going to miss this cafe, great menu, freshly squeezed OJ and chow being served at the Over Easy Cafe.

Over Easy Cafe is hands down the best breakfast / lunch spot on Sanibel Island! It's one of those places that's biggest problem is what to order! 1st you have to chose either breakfast or lunch....and then which entree! Top it with the cool atmosphere & exceptional, friendly service and you have a five star meal!

Okay, we stopped here on the way to Captiva for some brunch. It was around 10:00 am and there wasn't a wait. We were sat in the outdoor seating area. Their menu was great. Lots of yummy options for breakfast and lunch (after 11:00). We made our selections and our food came out in about 20 minutes. The portions were perfect and the food was *chef's kiss*. I got a skillet that was delicious. The coffee and fresh squeeze orange juice was amazing as well. We'll definitely swing by here again if we find ourselves in the area.

Over Easy Cafe is a wonderful little brunch spot now open after Hurricane Ian. We enjoyed the shrimp omelette, chocolate chip pancakes and the crab omelette and Sanibel Mimosa - everything was SO good!! Will come back next visit to try the massive cinnamon rolls!

Friendly, happy staff! Indoor and outdoor seating options! We had breakfast and the food was fabulous! Bright colors add to the positive vibes!

Sanibel Island has a few options for breakfast but not all are gluten friendly. Over Easy Cafe had the most alluring menu, stacked with gluten-free options. We visited both mornings during our weekend getaway. Staff wore masks and enforced social distancing. We were seated instantly with choice of indoor or outdoor setting. The patio was mostly covered but still a bit toasty. Indoors was air conditioned. We both ordered scramblers with home fried potatoes, and the best gluten free English muffins we've ever had. My egg, cheese, and avocado sammich was delish. Hot coffee hit the spot. Friendly staff made our visits enjoyable. We left satisfied and plenty caffeinated.

Great breakfast, excellent service , I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast

Excellent food, great service, and our dog, Bentley, loved the outdoor seating. I would recommend this as a "must" when you are on Sanibel.

What a CAH-YUTE little breakfast spot in Sanibel Island! As soon as we arrived and were assigned our table, water and coffee was immediately brought over. The service was top notch and I don't think we even waited 10 minutes for our meals to arrive. And yes, the food here is delicious. I ordered the Shrimp Benedict which came with some perfectly seasoned potatoes. I also tasted the mango muffin and omg, I never knew anything like this existed! If you're visiting the island and looking for a nice place to grab breakfast, this is it! Just come early (or late) as it tends to get crowded.

Laid back. Kind service. Amazing options. Do yourself a favor and don't miss out coming here if you've never been.

Tasty breakfast spot, and it's no hidden secret judging from the long wait times. But it's also worth the wait! Pro tip: Put your name on the list, then hop back on your bike for a spin around the area or browse the nearby shops as you work up an appetite. My personal favorite brunch here is the Farmer's Skillet (grilled breakfast potatoes, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and bell peppers with cheddar jack cheese, topped with 2 eggs your way and your choice of toast). So yummy and hearty if you're planning to spend a long day on the bike! My parents love the Mediterranean omelet (sautéed spinach, onion, artichoke, tomato, black olive and feta cheese), although many other things have been sampled here over the years, too. Coffee is served in homemade pottery mugs, each with unique color schemes from the dyed clay, which are sold at one of the shops just down the deck. My dad drinks coffee out of one nearly every day of the year, which is a delightful memory of Sanibel.

amazing environment, staff is super friendly! food was overly amazing, definitely satisfied with our visit and will be back again!

We made a special trip over to Sanibel from Ft. Myers because we've been hearing about this place for years. It was worth the wait and we will definitely be back!! The omelette was fantastic, the pancakes were fluffy and perfect, and the eggs Benedict were on point! We loved talking to the owner who is a fellow (but former) Kansas Citian. The service here was attentive and everything you could hope for in a great restaurant. Thank you for the hospitality!!

Great spot! Wonderful service. Delicious food. So kind to our Boston (very dog friendly on the patio). Only downside was a very long wait to sit. But it's in a cute shopping center and they give you a buzzer so you can browse while you wait. And once you sit down you realize it's totally worth the wait. If you bring your pup ask for a bowl of water. They're happy to provide one. If you'd like a boozy brunch they do have mimosas and beers. They even helped me make my own manmosa aka beer-mosa by giving me a Blue Moon, a delicious glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, and a frosted mug. Factor in the very reasonable prices (compared to Miami) and I give the Over Easy Cafe an enthusiastic 5 star review!!! I hope to come back. Maybe tomorrow....

I wish I can have a breakfast place like this closer to home. Here's what I love about it: 1. Great fresh environment 2. Outside shaded seating as well as inside. 3. Dog friendly 4. Wide variety of breakfast lunch items 5. Breakfast skillets 6. Different breakfast items - not just basic 7. Great friendly service 8. Affordable What else can I ask for, besides I wish it was closer! They don't take reservations or call ahead, but u can take a seat and take in the area, or you can go shopping to the surrounding stores. The buzzer works throughout the immediate area with a good number of shops to go through!

Found this place via a recommendation from my uber driver. Cute quaint breakfast/lunch spot located on the island. Everything has a farmhouse chic to it, even the cupware! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was delicious. I wish I had someone to share it with because it was a lot of food! Service was top notch and everyone was friendly. It was the perfect way to end our vacation! Thank you!

This place is great , what a hidden little Gem. Came in with a party of 14 , no reservation or anything. Accommodated right away and got a table ready for us . Food and service was amazing.

Got here before they opened and there was a small crowd by the time they did(July 4th). Was seated immediately and had drinks quick. A team of about 4 waited tables inside and out very efficiently. All tables had their food in about ten minutes despite arriving very close. The food was excellent I had the big Bertha and sourdough. The only thing I counted off for was the lack of service after getting your food. They all seemed to move on after you got your food and we had to flag somebody down to get a refill.

My Wife and I enjoyed the 'soft' opening. Even though their hours are 7 - 2:00, we arrived late ( yelp hours posted 7 - 3:00) we were greeted and seated. I enjoyed a Mediterranean omelet and my Wife really liked the western omelet. The OJ was delicious.. The service was Great. We will return. The large menu had many more delicious suggestions that we want to try.

Over Easy was amazing! My iced coffee came in an Over Easy-themed Tervis Tumbler. I ordered a cinnamon roll, and it was so delicious and flavorful. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The ambiance and decor was wonderful and the service was adequate.

Excellent value and a great breakfast that you normally don't get in an island, resort environment. Service was prompt and friendly portions were generous and food was delicious. Prices were very reasonable and I would recommend this anytime.

It was good it is always pretty crowded so that must mean something. We got there we were seated and the other time we went we got there later an we were given a buzzer to come when it went off. I ordered a Mexican burrito and when it came it was good it wasn't anything special but the people who worked there were nice and helpful we will visit again.

Excellent Service! Amazing food! Loved the atmosphere! The community feeling was wonderful! I would certainly recommend eating there often! Loved it!

So every year we head to Sanibel/Captiva for family vacation. We usually stop for breakfast on our way out. We usually go to another breakfast place but last year we were told to try Over Easy Cafe. We heard that the cinnamon rolls were the best. We decided to try it and I have to say we were impressed and will be back! First the restaurant was nice and cool, which is refreshing since we always go in the summer. We had to wait for a few minutes because it was packed! The menu is gigantic!! It's only open for breakfast and lunch. We all needed time to look at the menu. The waiter came right away and got our drinks really fast. I absolutely love that they serve drinks in Tervis cups! As I said we heard the cinnamon rolls were good so of course we ordered one for the table. We wished we ordered 2! They are so delicious. They are very cinnamon heavy so if you don't really like it you may not enjoy it. As busy as it was it did not take too long for our food. Everything was absolutely delicious. My omelet was cooked really well, fresh bacon pieces and lots of cheese!! My mom loved her eggs Benedict and my husband loved his scramble. My dad and sister had breakfast as well and both really enjoyed their plate. My sister got a breakfast burrito and couldn't even finish it. If you are on the island, I would definitely check this place out for breakfast. The lunch looked delicious and lots of choices. You have to try the cinnamon rolls to start your meal out. We have found a new breakfast location and can't wait to go back next year!!
