The Gathering Place - Fort Myers

This bistro/bakery is situated in the heart of a business center. Just follow the signs like a secret code and presto... the food was fantastic, creative, and delicious. The owners/staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere of the place was cozy and welcoming - like visiting an old friend. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning.

If your looking for some comfort food breakfast, this is the place. Just a awesome breakfast, tasty, affordable with a very personable owner at the helm. He even bakes his cakes on the premises.

The food is delicious and you can’t leave without taking some of the fresh pastries to go. We had a honey pear bear claw and a slice of lemon berry pie that were to die for. The vibe makes you feel like you’re eating with friends, ones with a great sense of humor!

We were visiting from Salt Lake City, and we found The Gathering Place on Google. We visited the restaurant because it had a decent review (4.8).The service was slow and the food rancid. They actually served me hash browns that were charred. I don’t normally write reviews, but I wouldn’t take my dog there. We are not doing the public a service unless we protect them from places like that by staying pro active and speaking out. Even if their breakfast was mid level, which it was not, you do not serve burned potatoes- end of story. I had a bad vibe when I walked into the place, being a former nursing home and all, but I gave them the Benefit of the by trusting the Google review. But it was the service and the food, that seems to be on life support, that sealed their fate with me and my three family members. You can’t progress with old ideals, tired reputations, and bad food. Sorry. You gotta keep your game face on to stay in the game. Billy-Keep in’ it real.

Great café! The staff wear quirky shirts, the interior decor is unique, and they serve fantastic coffee and delicious avocado dishes. I absolutely love it! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, and the food was delicious.
