Cafe` YOU

This place is a gift to Cape Coral… an oasis in a good-restaurant-desert. I’ve tried several of their offerings (with so much more yet to try) and I’ve yet to be disappointed. Delectable, vibrant soups that delight the senses… a beautiful smoked salmon omelet… amazing sourdough toast… a super-tasty “Muscle Blast” smoothie. Seriously can’t wait to try the rest of the menu! Their espresso drinks are a treat too! I recommend the mocha latte — the baristas’ latte art is a fun extra touch. :) As others have noted, this restaurant is… “unassuming” (from the outside), but once you walk through the door, it’s something special. The vibe is a unique blend of industrial & cozy. Go see for yourself! The service is wonderful too. Attentive but not “hovering.” Café YOU is the best place to be when you just want to take your time and enjoy some simple pleasures. Truly grateful to have such a special café in our little city. :)

Absolutely delicious 🤤😋 food. The green Thai curry was 🤩, tasty 😋 beyond words! Quality ingredients were certainly used. The sweet potato in the curry was a great addition. I was pleasantly surprised. Will return!

My husband and I absolutely love this place! We have gone for breakfast, lunch and the Vegan Platinum Plate dinner. Everything has been fantastic! The dinner included a wine pairing as an option. Chef Sam came out at the end of the dinner and spoke to each table. You can tell he takes pride in the food he creates and serves. My husband is not vegan and he loved every dish. He said if all vegan food was this good I would change my eating habits. This picture is the beautiful matcha latte I ordered at one of our lunches. This is definitely a hidden gem in Cape Coral!

I was just looking for a gluten free place to have a good breakfast at. What I found was beyond that. I treated myself today with a quick to go order of an espresso, gf muffin (5 stars), and a loaf of homemade gf bread. Best I ever had. Food is elevated yet affordable. Looking forward to going more often. It's a true hidden treasure as far as I'm concerned.

Food is good, service sucks. Order everything you want as soon as you sit down because they will never come back to check on you. I wanted to order more drinks/ bread to take home but nobody ever came back to my table. Still leaving 5 stars just like I left a nice tip even if it wasn't deserved. I appreciate the healthy food option close to home, just wish the staff could be helpful or at LEAST friendly.

When we visit family we like coming here. The food and staff are awesome! We enjoy visiting when we can. Wish they had better parking tho cause we weren’t able to visit for lunch one time we were down. Sad we missed them on that visit due to parking.

This place is awesome, feels like a cozy café in Melbourne, the Thai korma probably my favourite, but they have many varieties of diverse menu items.

Cute little cafe! They have delicious cortados! It is hard to find a place that does espresso well. I also bought a gluten free bread loaf which was so yummy! I come here every time I’m in town. Highly recommend.

Happy 78th birthday David! So off we go to Cafe You for a late breakfast. Haven't been there for breakfast in a long time. They have added some delicious sounding Omelets! We decided on the Apple, Bacon and Brie with Sourdough bread with Arugula on top. Super delicious accompanied by a Cappuccino and Cafe Americano! When I told our server that it was Dave's birthday she told him to pick out a piece of cake. He chose "Hummingbird". We also bought a package of chicken empanadas. Thank you Cafe You for your delicious food and delightful staff!

Definitely not my first time being there. But has improved so much from the service to the food. And I will definitely return. I love the upbeat yet comfort ambience that they offer.

CafeYou is located in an industrial area right off Del Prado Blvd and Viscaya Parkway. I remembered it as right across from the Comcast office or warehouse. It is known as Austrian Gluten free, vegan or vegetarian options and coffee for breakfast and lunch. It has special event with wine dinner with international wines, anywhere from California, New Zealand, Germany, Chilean, South Africa, Middle Eastern countries and other countries. On March 15, 2025, we signed up for a Greek Dinner and paired with wine. We have not been to CaféYou for several years. Now it is expanded and has a small outside area! Yes, the bathroom is still in the hallway! Tonight, Greek music was played during dinner time. It is not loud and we were able to carry a conversation without any difficulty! We arrived early and were seated immediately to our assigned table. Olive bread and herbal butter were served. As appetizers, four miniature phyllo cups filled with Tzatziki, Olive and Feta cheese, Hummus, Tomato and Cucumber salad. The bread and appetizers were plated well and has a nice presentation and savory! The main course is Branzino with Olive caper over lemon rice and Stifado, a Greek Beef and Lamb stew with pita bread. I have Branzino elsewhere it is cooked nice and juicy. But my Branzino filet was overcooked! Many restaurants cooked Stifado with carrot and potato. But CafeYou use carrot and turnip. The turnip is undercooked. However, you can savage the dish by dipping your pita bread with the delectable sauce/juice from the stew! Four Greek wine, two white (2022 Domaine Papagiannakos Malaguzia, 2023 Domaine Papagliannakos Refsina, Mesogaia) and two red (2023 Gala Monograh Agiorgitiko and 2022 Hermes Nemea Red) were paired. They were on the fruity side and very affordable from $15 to $20 per bottle! Out of four, my personal favorite is 2022 Hermes Nemea Red! Our dessert, Baklava, filled with nuts and glazed with honey is fine. The staff is very personable, attentive and professional.

Another impressive, fun, and delicious experience. My husband, mother, and I joined the Vegan Thanksgiving event for the first time and loved it. The staff was fun, attentive, and knowledge. The 5 course meal with wine pairing was delicious and the food presentation marvelous. An experience worth having.

Beautiful atmosphere, spacious, dark wood, lowlight industrial, cozy now. Great service, excellent Cappuccino, avocado toast ( I got the You Avocado Toast) but the blueberry lemon poundcake was very dry, they shouldn't have served it to me. Other than the dessert being sub-par, I love this place!

Cute, quaint little spot hidden in a small industrial zone in Cape Coral. This lunch was exactly what I needed to nourish my body. I was in between the 2 soup offerings and my waiter was kind enough to give me a sample of both. I ended up going with the potato kale stew and it was so flavorful. I also enjoyed the roasted root vegetable salad which tasted heavenly. My body was longing for this healthy, veggie packed meal. Neat spot if you ever find yourself in Cape Coral! Staff was excellent.

Celiacs beware. They advertise as gluten free but lots of cross contamination. They use the same slicer for gluten free bread as they do the regular bread. So I question the rest of their gluten free dishes as well.

Returned for lunch on-site. Located in an industrial park area. Typically these type of locations don't often bring in customers, but Cafe You had a very full house the entire time we were there so obviously has a following. The best part of their ambiance is how they display the cakes, which look gorgeous behind the glass & under the lighting. They literally call to u to grab a slice w/some coffee. Anyway...we passed on that & ordered off their lunch menu. Appreciated the carafe of what tasted like filtered water brought to the table. Iced tea was great. Small smoothie is quite large. Banana bread was very generous in size & pretty good. Love that u can get 1/2 order! FYI- If u get it the way it comes, it's a fork & knife kind of dish, not ur typical pick up & eat breakfast bread. Oriental salad was not great. Heavily overdressed & the dressing was crazy strong w/ginger so that was tough to eat. If u order it, suggest dressing on side. Service, although nice, is very slow & sporadic. We were ok w/that b/c we weren't in a hurry, but expect to flag down the waitress when u need something. Felt pricing was very fair for what we ordered. Although I still didn't love the food at cafe you, I did increase to 3 stars based on r experience today.

Finally tried something different from here and it did not disappoint!! The Bella wrap with chicken was just delicious. Goat cheese and veggies are just perfect I will be back because this place leaves me feeling full and healthy

Ordered a Chai Latte and it was perfect! Not too sweet and just the right amount of cinnamon and spices. The Breakfast Burrito was excellent! Plenty of food and fresh ingredients. Service was a little slow but it fits in with the relaxed vibe. The interior lighting is very low which seems a bit odd at breakfast. The food is the real star here!

Best breakfast burrito I've ever had (and I lived in Texas for a decade). It's amazing and so big, you can get two meals out of it. The avocado toast is really good. I want to try their take home granola.

Awesome healthy and tasty options and gluten free choices . The sexy man from Argentina is so helpful and great at serving . He has been there from the start .

I am back at Cafe You and I said it once I'm gonna say it again to service the hospitality and the food is Delicioso. I recommend the spot to everyone.

Visited on a beautiful mildly chilly Saturday morning after exploring the farmer market. We arrived about 11am and decided to sit outside in the sunny. Because how often can we say THAT! After waiting about 20 mins, I went inside get menus and see if someone was working outside. We finally got menus. We then had to go inside to find the server again to place our orders. He apologized saying that he needed to use the bathroom. The food was ok. They have a ton of vegan options. The chickpea burger was good but needed something for a little extra flavor. Their desserts looked amazing.

Food is sooo good! My hubby and I loved everything we had. Food comes out fast. It's such a cute little place! We will be back!

This place is a drive for us but I love their food! They have lots of choices for Gluten Free, vegetarian & vegan. If you want something different or healthy, come here to eat or grab it to go. They do have a section of quick to go frozen items. They have wine & beer if you're dining in. Try the toasted banana bread, it's amazing!!

Decided to try out and not disappointed. Small but enough for a roomy dining experience. I chose this place to try their cuisine options. Went with one of their Avocado Toasts and was perfect. Great flavor and egg as ordered. The Mocha was top choice and had the server, Alexis, choose a flavor twist to add. Paired well. Tried during a business trip and can't with to visit again w/the Mrs. She will love it. They mentioned their Wine Dinners on Saturdays so will definitely need to Mke our next visit on a Saturday. Definitely recommend when u want to try something a little different.

Excellent, fresh delicious food. I'm vegan and had loads f great choices. I was thrilled to find this gem. Highly recommend

Service was wonderful-I usually order a dry cappuccino with a flavored syrup. This little gem of a cafe does not add syrups, she offered up a chai cinnamon spicy flavor with a spot of sugar-awesome!! The owner is from Australia and chef/baker, Israeli, so the bakery items are lovely European treasures of tastiness! Highly recommend you find this remotely located gem of a coffee shop-it won't disappoint

In Cape Coral for an appointment, and wanted a local option that offered vegan fare. Chose Cafe YUM and it was a great choice. The exterior location had me wondering but once inside the restaurant door I was sold. Eclectic and welcoming vibe. Service was friendly and attentive . I had the black bean burger. It was perfect. Fresh toppings, soft bun that held together, and the black bean burger itself was great! I overheard two customers complementing how very good the coffee was. Lots of gluten-free, vegan, meat eater options. A special event calendar that looked very interesting and take home, bakery and refrigerated items as well! I will absolutely visit again the next time I find myself in Cape Coral! Thank you for a great experience.

I know the food is always great but today was special because Nia was our server. Brighten my day

My wife and I were visiting the area and looking for a good plant based restaurant option. We found Cafe You and we were not disappointed. Staff and decor was perfect along with the great food. We had a veggie bowl and a desert. Both were awesome. Cafe You is a great find if looking for a vegan option.

This was a quick spot on our way down to miami. The service was so welcoming and attentive. The energy was great. The menu consisted of many healthy , nutrient dense options. Loved the fresh bakery items. We had the Thai green curry bowl. The avocado toast. The black bean tacos and the Asian tuna bowl. The green curry was absolutely delicious. The tuna bowl was a bit lite. Ans both appetizers was delicious , flavorful and fresh.

Don't judge a book by its cover. This restaurant is in an industrial neighborhood and the front looks like an office. Once you get past that and inside, it's a darling little cafe and you'll enjoy your food. At 8:15 on a Saturday morning, it wasn't too busy but by the time I departed the tables were starting to fill in. I didn't get too far into the menu before my eye was drawn in to smoked salmon omelet and that's what I had. It arrived only 7 minutes later, fresh from the kitchen. A nice sized omelet and with a good portion of salmon inside and I did eat one slice of the gluten free bread (not keto but still good). The salmon also had a small pot of their tasty mustard sauce that was perfect. Waiter was friendly and attentive, refilling coffee and providing a check smoothly. Service was quite good.

This quaint like little gem talked away in Cape Coral Warehouse district. I can not stop raving about how awesome this place was. They have cute little patio with some outside seating. Authentic atmosphere the second you walk in the door from all the cute little tables and tucked in the corner a nice little coffee bar. I got the opportunity to meet the manager and the owner. They were both so engaging one was from New Zealand the other one was from Australia. She told me that she likes it when people come in that's never really seen a place like theirs before and it's so custom for them cuz they're all over Australia and New Zealand. The food and service were amazing there was not one thing we ate that was not outstanding. If you're ever in Cape Coral or out and about and wanted a great place to go this is worth the stop highly recommend it.

Several of my friends treated me to a retirement celebration lunch at Cafe You and everyone agreed the food is special as well as health conscious. Service is perfect as well. It's located in a rather out of the way spot so use your GPS. I've returned several times and look forward to next time as I know it will be good. The setting is welcoming with vintage tables etc.

I love Cafe YOU! It's such a unique restaurant located in the industrial area of Cape Coral. Their bakery items are top notch. One of my favorite things to order is the sweet potato salad. It has pine nuts and beets and of course sweet potatoes. It's delightful! The service is amazing too! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to support a local business. You won't be disappointed!

Wow wow wow! Stop looking for another place to eat and come here! So delicious! Friendly staff! Lots of vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian options to choose from! They even offer chicken, shrimp, tuna, and tofu as well. As I pulled up I was skeptical of where I had chosen to eat, but the inside is very large and they have tons of seating and it's cute inside. I got the korma bowl and it was SO good. Warm, not spicy, and filling. I was very happy with my choice and would recommend this dish! I will be returning often to try there breakfast as everything looked amazing.

Such a cozy place. Delightful staff always kind and helpful. Daily specials everything on the menu is delicious!

LOVE this place! The food was delicious and the service was excellent, friendly and welcoming. We'll be back soon!

Super delicious! Nice to have healthy options that are also yummy! Cool atmosphere too.

Had to stop by for another lunch before we left town and it didn't disappoint! Our server Christina was very friendly and attentive. The food was as amazing as our first visit (Thai Green Curry & Chicken salad wrap). Speaking of our first visit, our previous server Melissa stopped by to say hi, which we very much appreciated. Such great energy! The service, ambience, and food at Cafè YOU is unmatched. So happy we found this place and look forward to coming when we visit Cape Coral again.

Cafe You is exceptionally good Green Thai curry with chicken WOW Very nice atmosphere with background music

Love, love, love this place. Tiny place in a random little building in the middle of nothing. Don't let this fool you at all. The locals know what's up. This place is awesome! Mostly local ingredients, and an easy menu for gluten-free folks, vegetarians, and vegans to maneuver through. They also make and sell pastries, cakes, breads (going to try their banana bread VERY soon), gluten-free bread (delicious - have some in my fridge right now!), and great coffee. The first time I went in, I had the Roasted Veggie Bowl with Chicken - super tasty and very comforting to eat. I don't know what the flavors were in there, but they paired well with the rest of the dish. I have also had their Korma (yellow curry bowl, also with chicken). This was also very comforting and perfectly seasoned. It's mild, though, so if you like spice, this one is probably not for you. I will also add that I had a coconut chai latte before eating and it was yummy! Not too sweet, very creamy. My next one will be "dirty". :) My hubs ordered their jalapeño soup the other day, and is not usually my jam, but I tried some and it was spicy and warmed me right up. I think it has a good amount of cheese in it, though, because I had an urge to dip a chip in it, lol. Oh, and the staff is soooo friendly and accommodating. Very kind, offering tips for rewarming foods -- ooh, speaking of rewarming, they also sell frozen breakfast empanadas, soups, and such in their freezer! We are currently in Cape Coral and we only found this place through my daughter across the country, because she wanted to buy us a lunch at a place I could actually eat at (I'm gluten free). I give her all the credit for finding this place and I'm very grateful, as we'll be returning again and again! Such a great little place!!!

Traveling in Cape Coral FL and decided to try local restaurant and came across this, you wouldn't be disappointed food was delicious

I have visited and enjoyed Cafe You many times usually for breakfast, but today we brought my sister in law and this made her day!!! She enjoyed the Chicken Chabata it had cheesy goodness ,the chicken was juicy and tender. My partner had The Vegan Charizo Hash oh my we all shared a taste of this dish ! Flavorful spicy and a very large serving! I had the smoked salmon sandwich on toast , capers cream cheese , onion ,tomato ,and cucumbers.This was the best in my eyes!!! We started our experience with a humus plate with toasted breads , humus and veggies. We also shared an avocado and tapenade dip with toast points. We all had ice tea. The staff was helpful , pleasant and very friendly. Martin was very entertaining and gave us a preview of his phantom of the Opera song for an up coming event at Cafe You Always one of our favorite places for breakfast and now for lunch!!!

Yummy! What a fun food spot in Cape Coral! We got breakfast to go. I got the Smoked Salmon Brekkie Salad $11 - Mixed greens w/ smoked salmon, avocado & two poached organic eggs with fresh-made gluten-free toast. It came with basaltic vinegar and oil on the side--perfect hearty breakfast. My husband got the huge Brekkie Wrap $7.50 - Scrambled organic eggs, roasted potatoes, tomato, parsley, and tahini sauce in a flour tortilla wrap. The lattes are also fantastic. They have oat, soy and regular milks. This is a great spot for vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free eats!!

The lunch was amazing. The service was amazing. The muscle blast was good for my brain. The smoked salmon was like eating in Japan. The poached eggs was delicious. Location was great.

Pros: Food was great. Ambiance was cool. Cons: Server was bad. Seating is odd and sitting outside in the summer Florida sun is horrible. Bathroom was gross.

Such a cute little spot with a lot of healthy food options. This place has indoor and outdoor sitting. They have a little checkout counter in case you just want o stop by and pickup their delicious desserts. The staff was very friendly and the food came out fairly quick. The mimosa was also delicious and strong. I recommend

First time here, hipster place in a good way. I had a macchiato, they have 2 sizes, it was kind of small for the larger size, but good. I had the original avocado toast with an over medium egg, that was excellent, I then ordered an americano coffee as I needed more! Will be back!

You would never know this place exists if you drive by. It rests in a industrial area and is tucked up on a corner. You enter into the cutest bistro. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. We sat immediately and was given cold filtered water in an ice cold bottle to pour from. I ordered an americano and it was in front of me with fresh cream within minutes. My smoked salmon omelette was amazing!

This place has taken a turn for the worse. Higher prices and food quality has taken a huge dive. Customer service is mediocre at best. I'm very disappointed. This place used to have delicious food and great customer service.

Food looks and tastes fabulous. Our waiter could have been more attentive and pretty much treated us like we were bothering him. But I will definitely go back.

Excellent food and service in a cozy feeling place with cute decor and many gf options. Amazing strawberry banana gluten free cake and my family had the hummingbird cake and loved it. They also have pre made frozen food to take home. Great addition to the Cape.

Hands down the healthiest food in Cape Coral with yummy gluten free desserts! They have gluten free bread for avocado toast. Customer service is usually great. Only downside, is the more popular it gets the more difficult it can be to find parking.

Went there for brunch it was super laid back and had lots of options. The coffee was great too which helped.

Great place excellent food good servers . Cute place . Organic and excellent food I highly recommend this cafe clean and relaxed atmosphere.

Eclectic Cafe with healthy food options! A nice place for takeaway if you want to grab a smoothie or hummus and veggie snack. Not a ton of seating or parking (and they do use paper straws, however you feel about that), but it's a good option for healthier-minded diners wanting lighter fare.
