My wife and I ate breakfast here on 10/3/09 - we'd never stayed at this end of Sanibel before and heard that this restaurant was quite good. We were both very pleased with our meal - the banana nut french toast was incredible - give this place a try! more

We rode our bikes to the Lighthouse Cafe about 10 a.m. for breakfast this morning. It's slow season so there was no wait for a table. It's a small, cute cafe with photos and paintings of lighthouses covering the walls. Our drink orders were taken right away. The server showed up to take our orders within 2 or 3 minutes... more

The entire time we were on the island, we kept hearing "Make sure you get to the LIghthouse Cafe!" So on our last morning before heading to the airport, we made sure to go to the Lighthouse Cafe - we were not disappointed!

The Lighthouse Cafe claims "the world's best breakfast." If it isn't, it's close. Wide range of breakfast standards done right and served up by an energetic and friendly wait staff. more

I wish I had viewed prior comments about the Lighthouse Cafe, although we didn't really plan to dine there. It was a last minute decision as we were visiting that end of the island and the actual lighthouse site. I ordered the Hungry Fisherman omelette. I agree with another comment - WHY would a local establishment that close to the... more

We've been a couple of times and the breakfast items were very good--a lot like you could make at home, but good. The broiled fish sandwich was very good--best tartar I've had in a long time. The next trip I ordered a seafood sandwich served with chopped broccoli on a grilled croissant. I just don't get why we're a stone's... more

One of the best places on the Island for breakfast. Check out their daily specials. The Hungary Fisherman & Chocolate Chip Pancakes are two of my favorites. A little bit pricy but worth it once/twice a week. more
