Over Easy Cafe

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!!

Brunch today was incredible. We knew it was going to be good by the packed parking lot and we were right. A short wait, but totally worth it. Ham and cheese omelette, stuffed French toast with strawberries, and stuffed pancakes topped with Oreos were all amazing. Side of bacon was cooked perfectly too. Their whole menu looks great and I cannot wait to try more. As busy as they were our food came out fast and hot and the servers were attentive and friendly

As Sanibel recovers from Hurricane Ian, every business that is able to re-open is cheered. We were happy when we heard Over Easy Cafe was back! They rebuilt their cozy cafe in the same image of the original design. Of course, it is all new, as the water rose to over 6 feet inside the building (6'4" to the top of the plaque on the wall). It is sparkling new inside with the same great breakfast items they have dished out in the past. After all that happened, it seems to taste better than ever. There are lots of elegant little touches throughout the place if one pays attention. Yet, it is simple. Most importantly, the food is amazing. Try the farmer's breakfast skillet, or an omelet. Be prepared for large portions. You'll be back, for sure, just like we will.

Over Easy Cafe is celebrating their Grand Re-opening since Hurricane Ian devastated the island! So happy to have this gem back in our breakfast rotation! The restaurant looks amazing and the food was as good (if not better) than ever before! I had the French Toast platter and my husband had a Rueben! The French Toast was delicious! My husband’s Rueben (I had a few bites) was fantastic! By far, the best Reuben on the island! If you are an old fan or a new comer to the island, stop by Over Easy Cafe! You won’t be disappointed!!

Great place and wonderful staff. The Salmon Benny was fantastic and the bacon was perfectly crispy! Glad they were able to rebuild after Hurricane Ian'22

They are OPEN AGAIN- and all is great!! Fantastic wait staff, friendly and fast. Delicious food, delightful inside and outside eating// SO HAPPY THEY ARE BACK😃😃

Great breakfast and coffee. Something for everyone. Outdoor seating as well. Highly recommend.

What an amazing little cafe! Newly reopened because of the hurricane and instantly I knew I had to go and support a small business and first time there did not disappoint! Their food is wonderful and fast service! Congratulations on your reopening!

Glad these guys reopened. Loved the breakfast the first time I went and did not disappoint when I went back!

Enjoyable and friendly. Gorgeous setting. Amazing food.

So happy to see the "Open after 18 months" sign today! My wife and I had a breakfast on 3/21/24 and enjoyed the pancakes and a traditional scrambled eggs and sausage breakfast.

We ventured out to Over Easy Cafe just looking for a descent breakfast and coffee. I didn’t take any pictures because I scarfed it down too fast! Oatmeal is always better when you don’t have to make it yourself! My husband ordered scrambled eggs and bacon. They also have a wide variety of breakfasts and lunches…check out their website. What set this apart? The atmosphere and vibe as well as the folks running this little restaurant! I wanted to go back for another meal because their menu looked really good. Next time! They also have outdoor seating for well behaved dogs!

We have been waiting since covid to go, then Hurricane Ian hit a year and a half ago, so worth the wait!! Congratulations on your reopening!!

Visited today for a late breakfast with my other half.

We arrived around 1045 and after checking in with the hostess (as required), we were given an electronic (table ready) device and advised :

“we are free to roam the shops in the adjacent plaza, and a table should be ready in about 20 minutes”

About 20 minutes later, the buzzer advised our table was ready.

The place was rammed with people, which in combination with its good Google reviews (4.7) was a promising sign.

We were seated at a small table near the back of the house, and greeted almost immediately by our (male) server, who did not avail us of his name.

He took our drink orders and quickly returned with two delicious cups of coffee.

About 3 minutes later, he came by again to ask if we were “ready to order?”

We hesitated for what could have been 20 seconds, and my other half ordered a Breakfast Scramble with a side of fresh fruit. I had the Stuffed French Toast with Strawberry topping, which surprisingly did not come with a side offering.

I ordered (at an up-charge) a side of bacon AND a side of sausage patties. (They offered links, also)

The food came out hot and very presentable in less than 10 minutes, possibly as few as 8 minutes.

The bacon was perfectly crispy, but a bit too cool. The fresh fruit was pineapple heavy. Everything else knocked it out of the park. Our OPINIONS of the bacons temperature and the quantity of pineapple in a fresh fruit side, should NOT deter you from coming here.

The waiter was professional, prompt, and very efficient. He didn’t have much personality though, which may have been a function of how busy they (and he) were.

The Over Easy Cafe does an EXCELLENT breakfast!

Pros:

1. Food portions are respectable
2. Service was very good and fast
3. Prices are very fair
4 Coffee was tasty

Cons:

1. Place is VERY busy
2. Parking is lousy (about 12 spots out front)

A definite visit is in order!

Hands down the best place on the Island! The menu the perfect with breakfast and lunch. There were six of us and we all loved all of our food. So good! We will for sure be back!

Best breakfast on the island by far!! Staff is super friendly and efficient. Glad to see them back in business.

Went to grab some breakfast around 9 AM on a Sunday. Wait was about 25 minutes. Glad some shops were open since seating to wait was limited.

It’s worth the wait. The egg sandwich was great. Daughter loved the biscuits and gravy. Pancakes were our favorite filled with raspberries.

Service was quicker then most on the island and it was a great experience. We will be back.

We have eaten twice here. Both times the food and service were excellent. Tye grits were creamy and delicious. There homemade muffins are fantastic. Everything we have eaten there was superb.

Quick service and delicious piping hot food - what more could you want for breakfast? It’s easy to see how the Over Easy Cafe is a favorite breakfast spot for many. We ordered the crab and asparagus omelet and the blueberry pancakes. Both were delicious! The coffee was meh for me, but I’m also very picky about my coffee. The pricing is reasonable for the island. The servers were definitely hustling to turn over tables quickly. Overall, I would go back to try other dishes.

It’s great to see the Over Easy Cafe up and running once again. The staff is super pumped. The place is buzzing with enthusiastic customers and waitstaff. Our breakfast of corned beef hash and eggs. and a ham and egg special was cooked to order and served with a smile.
OEC is one of the few restaurants open for breakfast, so expect to wait knowing that they are working hard and your wait will not only be worth it, but it will also be appreciated.
