A terrific dining experience! The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly and mindful of every order. If you’re lucky enough to stop by on a day with live music, you’re in for a treat! I would highly recommend Little Palm :)
Came here with my girlfriend and friends, mind you guys, Im by no means vegan but the girlfriend is, Ill try these types of restaurant/cafes out and feel neutral about it. This little joint is 1 of the best vegan venues Ive visited thus far. The service was excellent, staff was polite and cleanliness seemed like a priority, which is essential during these times. Our table was pre bussed in a timely manner, a deep look into the ceiling, the ac units and various other hard to reach areas were dust free, and that says a lot.Tried the PB smoothie and loved it, perfect balance of banana, peanut and eveything else, my girlfriend would have preferred more peanut butter, I however found it to be just the right amount. She had the berry waffle and they were decorated with care. You can tell whoever is back there making the dishes really puts care into every single plate with good time too. Everyone else enjoyed their food. At the end my girlfriend got the lemon dessert they had to take home and enjoy later, I will say she REALLY enjoyed it.Thank you guys for amazing work. She cant wait to go back and try the vegan Caesar salad!
I’ve been coming to Fort Myers for years, and this is the best food I’ve ever had here!!! They take such care and put in love when preparing the food. The Nirvana I had was a work of art. Truly the freshest fruits and vegetables and it tastes like sunshine!! I was absolutely overwhelmed and amazed by the food. The Nirvana and vegan blt is to die for. Truly unique vegan coconut bacon. I loved it!! The staff are sweethearts!!
Such a cute place with delicious vegan food. Happy they also had gluten free options. It was easy to find something everyone in our family could eat, despite food allergies and sensitivities! Everything we ordered was delicious!
Absolutely wonderful!! The food was beyond delicious with tons of healthy options. The atmosphere was on point including live music with a local musician. Service was impeccable. They were very friendly and quick. Will definitely come here again. Being a native its so nice to find great places like this I can walk to. Highly recommend you checking it out!
Exceptional cafe. Plant based, friendly staff. Nutty Nirvana bowl is outstanding! Came back 5 times in a week. Hubby said the thing he will miss the most on Ft Myers Beach is Little Palm!
We went to both the main location and the smaller offshoot in the Lani Kai hotel. Both were fantastic!We were able to get anything there gluten-free. Jerrod was super nice and helpful deciding what substitutions to make.And most importantly, everything was delicious. The bowls, the sandwiches, the waffles, and of course the smoothies!Probably the only healthy option in FMB but it’s a good one.
Absolutelly superb Vegan place, ordered beacon/chedar waffle, they have very interesting coconut beacon made by them, and avocado GF toast, + smoothie all very good freshly made, nice atmosphere, nice stuff, absolutelly great place. My wife is Vegan I am not, and yet this was one of the nicest restaurant food I eat on Myers Beach
Food was amazing. however i suggest if you are calling out for names to deliver your food that you should ask for a name. reading it off the card is incredibly confusing when your name doesnt match the card nameover the next couple days I went back. they remembered our names and called us correctly after the initial visit. food really is astounding
The best green juice Ive ever had. I love the stuff as well. Thank you
Excellent gluten free waffles. I tried three of the four options and they were all delectable. A bit expensive for a family if four but the quality and service seem to justify most of the cost
Its the only plant based restaurant/Cafe on the island so I had to stop in! I ordered the noturkey sandwich and a tropical paradise smoothie and they were delicious! The staff was super friendly and the vibes make it def worth to coming back!
Very good food, chill atmosphere. Good prices were good. My only drawback is $8 for the juice, this is Fort Myers beach not South beach.
Incredible food, my favorite is the cheddar and bacon waffle, also everybody that works there are extremely polite
I stopped in for a coffee and was surprised how relaxed it was. I loved the vibe and the yummy brownie, there are lots of healthy super delicious super beachy food choices. My coffee was delicious with coconut milk!
This was our first visit to Fort Myers Beach and we really wanted to find some fresh food options and a natural green juice...Fresh Connection is the ONLY option available and they are THE BEST at what they do! Try “Green Glow” fresh juice with kale, cucumber, celery, green apple and lime...I felt like IRON MAN! Shout outs to Megan and Joshua (one of the owners). They treated my wife and I like royalty. I’d consider planning my next vacation around this place!!
I ordered the green glow and the bacon cheddar waffle. Customer Service was incredible and the ambience is amazing. They have a nice soundtrack that place while you wait.
Truly a Gem. Husband and I went here for breakfast and had a Nutty nirvana bowl, waffles, muffin and a tea. Never knew vegan could taste sooo good. The acai bowl especially felt like it was made with ice cream. Yummiest food we had in all of Florida.
This was such a great surprise gem to find on the island. We were there on vacation and it is a rare treat to find truly great fresh, vegan food. After we had smoothies, an açai bowl and avocado toast, we went back twice more in 24 hours before we (unfortunately) had to leave! The atmosphere is just as great as the food. Can you open one of these in Wisconsin by me???
Loved the cold brew with lavender and oat milk 💖
Delicious, quality food but quite expensive. The most expensive açaí bowl I have ever had and it was smaller than most!
Ive eaten here seven times in the past five days and every time its amazing.
Great vegan sandwich options and a lovely atmosphere! Will definitely be heading back to try a few more things from the menu.
Fantastic food and service. We had an Acai bowl yesterday and a breakfast waffle this morning. Im sure well be back again before we leave the beach. Food was delicious, service was amazing and the whole experience was just wonderful...Highly recommend.
My wife and I ran a similar operation for 5 years. This is an AWESOME restaurant. Quality food, creative recipes, vigor for customers and an awesome atmosphere. Happy to find you! See you in a few months (;
Great vegan restaurant! Delicious & yummy meals! Wish they stayed open later until at least 5:00pm. Very few vegetarian restaurants in the area, so this ones a gem!
The staff was extremely friendly. The food was excellent. We had waffles which were great. We went to the beach afterwards. After the beach we went back for a late lunch. We had the chycken salad sandwich which was fantastic.I highly recommended this restaurant.
Surprisingly delicious! Vegan food restaurants are pretty hit or miss, this was an absolute hit. A small cafe with limited parking and seating but no shortage of flavor. Coconut bacon is oddly delightful and the Bacon cheddar waffle was scrumptious. We also tried the Yin and yang smoothie, it was sweet, smooth and very refreshing after a beach day. Service was friendly and quick. *Not wheelchair accessible. There is a small set of stairs to get to the door and a bit of a step getting in. Parking is scarce and limited.
Amazing breakfast this morning! Wonderful service as well to accompany the great food and smoothies/frappes. Would love to see them open beyond seasonally!
Super cute place! Great drinks and very nice people. Clean and welcoming.
So glad we stumbled across this adorable place! Delicious smoothies, bowls, coffee and treats. There is something for everyone. Love the cozy yet beach feel & the staff was very friendly! We will definitely come back for a visit on our next trip to Ft Meyers Beach!
Outstanding vegan food and very filling! It is just what Fort Myers Beach needed- finally a vegan spot (and it’s good!!). The price is reasonable, it’s not out of line, very comparable price to other vegan places we have been near we live. This place will do very well, especially when Margaritaville Resort is built close by. Owner is extremely nice too and accommodating (I have an allergy to a certain grain and she had other bread options for me).
The healthiest, and best place for plant based deliciousness on Fort Myers Beach, Florida! The smoothies, juices, bowls, sandwiches and waffles are all awesome!! The vegan BLT is amaaazing! This fun little beachy vibing place always hits the spot. The staff are always very kind and accommodating as well!!
Loved this little gem! We are an organic GF, Vegan family. It’s not easy finding places that not only cater to our dietary needs, but also ones that are DELICIOUS, Little Palm meet everything on the checklist. Kids aged 8 & 4 couldn’t stop saying how much they loved the food, if that’s not a rave review for anyone I don’t know what is ☺️Staff was so kind. An absolute must for anyone in the area.Ps I am an avid and finicky matcha latte lover and they make a to die for iced lavender matcha latte! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
To be clear, I am not a vegan. That said, this place is amazing. SO GOOD! The açaí bowl was fantastic as was everything else we tried. Was here a few days on vacation and ate here more than we should have. We actually ended up spending a few hundred dollars. Oops. It’s just so damn good!! The presentation of the food was perfect as well. I can’t say enough about this place. Wish there was one in Nebraska where I’m from. I suggest checking out the cigar shop next door.
The food was delicious and the staff is very friendly and it is a cute little stop for breakfast, loved it !
Calling all vegans! I enjoyed a delicious bowl of acai sorbet filled with fruits and coconut, and conversation with the owner. She let me try the coconut bacon. Yummy. Walk though, as parking is limited
The food is absolutely wonderful yet simple and fresh! Plus, they have great, friendly customer service, so thats a cherry on too of the good food! Would certainly recommend to everyone, especially those who prefer a plant-based diet or like to try new variations of food.
Calming energy as soon as you walk into the building. The food was delicious and crafted beautifully. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nourishing meal!
The food is amazing — I had breakfast here 3 times! Made with super fresh ingredients and very healthy — not over-sweetened, which I love. And the staff is super nice 🙂Thank you guys! ❤️
So delicious! The best coffee on the island and awesome smoothies. Had the Sunrise Bowl for breakfast, hands down best I’ve ever had!
Great little plant based restaurant. The food is good and tasty. I had breakfast. I will definitely go back.
My daughter stayed at a condo on ft Myers beach and we got take out from fresh connection. All of us loved the food we got—even my daughter’s non vegan boyfriend! And we know how much healthier it is not to eat meat
Best sandwich I’ve ever had.
Great acai bowls. Only complaint is they closed their doors 30 minutes before the specified close time.
Goood food and got my Yerba Mate fix. Live music on a random Thursday morning, Colter Grey was awesome.
Good food! No one was wearing masks though, so if thats an issue for you just be aware
Top-notch cafe! Açaí bowl was amazing!
Bottom line: everything we tried was the best thing I had on the island, I felt healthy eating it, and the staff are the nicest people you could imagine.We got three different Acai bowls, the guacamole, and the cheddar and coconut bacon waffle. The Acai bowls are giant bowls of fruit and various other toppings over what seems like a smoothly mixture. They are seriously delicious and they make you feel healthy while you eat them. The guacamole was the best guacamole I have ever had, and that is not an exaggeration. The cheddar and coconut bacon waffle was also astounding. I didnt even realize the coconut bacon wasnt some kind of coconut crusted actual bacon until my girlfriend commented that I was eating coconut, which I dont normally like.I cannot recommend this place more.
This little hidden gem is the perfect place for healthy amazing locally sourced food. Its kind of hidden but well worth looking for. I had an aci bowl and on another occasion avacodo toast with coconut bacon. The owner is the nicest person ever and the food was superb. I just wish I had found it at the beginning of my vacation and not the last two days because I would eat there every single day
I visited Fresh Connection for the first time a few days ago and can honestly say that it was the tastiest, healthiest food Ive ever eaten...absolutely delicious!! I also enjoyed the decor and the relaxing, cozy atmosphere. The owners and staff are very personable, friendly, and caring. I look forward to eating there again on my next visit to Fort Myers!
Visiting Fresh Connections this morning was a pleasant morning delight. Freshest ingredients, clever use of new tastes and tasty coffee. Pleasant caring owners who take pride in what they do and are quite personable. Total morning delight of a visit to a local coffee spot
I cant emphasize enough how this is the best up and coming food on Fort Myers Beach. It brings a fresh and healthy vibe, and if you have anyone who needs vegan, this is the go-to spot as all food is delicious.
Best flavored coffee on the island. Get the lavender flavor. Cool vibes inside. Great organic atmosphere. Coconut milk is good too. Can get a French press, drop, or cold brew. We were on vacation from Chicago, and this is every bit as good as a local big city neighborhood coffee joint. Sad we didnt find it until the last day of vacation.
Loved this little cozy cafe. We were in FMB for only 3 days and visited this cafe twice. Smoothies, waffle, avocado toast...all excellent! Highly recommend a visit or two or three!
Fort meyers beach needs more Vegan restaurants like this! Everything was very good. I will be back
I just got an ice tea today. So good. Even came with ice tea ice cubes! Avocado toast looked delicious. Will be back soon to try.
Fresh, great tasting smoothies! Healthy ingredients and good service.
Avocado Toast and French Press= Perfection. Very genuine staff, you can tell they take pride in their work. I couldnt tell if I were dealing with the owners or not, and thats pretty special!
This place is quaint with such a good vibe and excellent food
So delicious! Short walk from our hotel and visited every day. Favs are BLT with coconut bacon - a must try! And wheat waffle with fruit and coconut whipped cream. Ice in the iced coffee was actually frozen coffee so taste stays the same - never gets diluted. Friendly staff! Nancy and Danny Mills, Cuyahoga Falls Ohio
Loved the service and absolutely delicious food, we got the banana nut muffins, banana nut waffles and freshly squeezed orange juice and the sunset and og dragon acai bowls. Absolutely amazing!!!! The food was so fresh.
French press coffee to start the morning. Avocado toast was delicious and Nutty Nirvana was so good!! Craving another one right now. Chill atmosphere and great service. She even remembered our names from the day before. Top notch!!
Excellent acai bowls!
Omgoodness!!!! This treasure is so quaint and AMAZING! Wondered the BERRY WAFFLE and the AVACADO TOAST .....absolutely delicious! We will be back often! You dont have to be vegan to enjoy this little gem om Ft Myers Beach!! Yummmmmmmy!
I am sitting in this quaint gem of a cafe, drinking a fantastic French press coffee after savoring the Berry Waffle. I winter on FMB, and was so relieved to find Fresh Connection. There’s nothing quite like it on the island! I’ve frequented their location at Lani Kai for the past few years and was so excited when they opened a stand-alone cafe, 50 feet from the beach. The atmosphere is cozy, the food is absolutely delicious, and the owners, Sarah and Josh are a delight. Highly recommend to anyone who is visiting the area - - this is a must-stop!
This place is amazing. Best Açaí bowls in the area with a great chill atmosphere and amazing friendly owner and employees. It’s the kind of place I’ll miss leaving as much as the beach itself.
Worth every penny.
Wonderful staff!!! i had my first vegan sandwich here and actually really liked it! everyone is so kind— we’ve been coming by every day this week! sending love from TN!!
Great food and great service. The Berry Waffle was Amazing!!!
A fantastic place to refresh on the beach. The bowls were so tasty and fresh. Friendly, quick service. A rare healthy eatery in the area. I highly recommend!
Great gluten free waffles!
Didnt get a chance to take a picture of our food,it was that good ! Got the avocado toast and tropical paradise smoothie. Would come here everyday for breakfast!!
Not only are the açaí bowls amazing, the service and environment and excellent. Going to Fresh Connection in the mornings became a staple for us on vacation. Highly recommend.
Best breakfast I have ever had! Sara is the most wonderful person, and we had such a great experience we came back the next day. The quality of the ingredients they use is wonderful and the taste of the food is heavenly. Do yourself a favor and stop by today!!
The best and only place for fresh and healthy options on FMB. Whether you are craving coffee, smoothies or something more filling (the waffles are amazing!) Fresh Connection is the place to go! Sarah and Josh always have a smile on their faces and will be sure that you’re happy with your order!
Convenient healthy eats! I go here often for the fruit smoothies, but they have great waffles and avocado toast. Friendly staff, quick service and calming atmosphere. Five stars all around!
Amazing! Incredible!I am soooooo glad I stopped here!. As a local, we look for healthy choices on the beach and now we dont need to look any further! The guacamole was the BEST IVE EVER HAD !!! Ill go back soon -- your smile and service during these trying times warms my heart
Food is really good 👍
Yummy vegan fare, friendly staff in a peaceful atmosphere.
Great place for coffee and healthy vegan food!
Amazing food and very conscientious and caring owners. So thankful to have found this absolute gem! Healthy and gluten/dairy safe choices with my ultimate favorite vegan and gluten free waffle!!! Thank you Fresh Connection 👌❤❤❤❤❤
