Banyan Cafe Fort Myers — Restaurant in Fort Myers

What an awesome spot! I absolutely adore this coffee shop and bakery. I came here with my family with two little kids on a Saturday afternoon. There were many other customers but it was spacious and still peaceful!

There is plenty of parking with a small parking lot up front and many more spots further back.

The coffee shop is actually a small trailer or truck type space and it’s very charming and beautiful. It looked clean and well kept.

The sitting area is spacious with tables spread around under shade from big trees and lots of plants all around.

The coffee menu is so fun- there are a lot of unique latte offerings. I had a blueberry, cheesecake latte and I found it delicious. A bit sweeter than I usually go for but so well executed.

We also ordered a lot of the bakery items to share- a raspberry cheesecake, a banana cake and almond and chocolate croissants. Wow, everything was delicious and so well made. The croissants were decadent and rich. The cheesecake was so tastefully sweet and well balanced with airy texture and contrasting crumbly crust. The banana cake was a total surprise with its rich and moist layers! Excellent all around.

The girls and women who work there are beaming with smiles and very friendly and kind.

I am a coffee and bakery lover. I am a traveler and explore towns through their coffee spots… this is one to remember!

Thanks so much! With I took...

I don’t want to leave this review. I fear others may find this. This is a relaxed place. It really relieves my anxiety from the week. It’s an open non judgmental space. Everyone is welcomed. Tucked away in the Edison estate this place will take you away to a different place each visit. My family and I really enjoy being a part of the banyan coffee family and I like family small. The baked goods are on par with any 5 star restaurant. The coffee is the best in town. The ambiance is the best in Florida. Customer service is phenomenal. We have even purchased the extended family ticket package to enjoy the 10% discount for all the plants for sale and also enjoy museum and grounds. Get there by 9am in the summer it’s hot. The back gate is open if you get there a little before 9. This place isn’t just some starbucks name on the cup place. These people care and do an amazing job. We are lucky to have them in Fort Myers. I became a Edison house member because of them and we now buy plants from the Edison house by weekly. We would never have joined the estate if not for the coffee...

I came with HER Corporate (a working moms group) to Banyan Cafe a few weeks ago and I'm so glad I did. We were vision board planning for 2024 and it was the most perfect atmosphere! It can be confusing to find the place because it's located outdoors right in the middle of Edison & Ford Winter Estates. They open at 9am unless they state otherwise. It seems like they frequently update their Facebook and Instagram when they change their hours. I love that it's run by a mother and daughter duo and they have freshly made baked goods as well as delicious coffee. They have plenty of seating and there is an awning over some tables and umbrellas over others. Stop by, you won't regret it! It's so peaceful coming here and they even have a garden center next door. It's a perfect place to grab a...
