Perhaps next time I'll order food and bring my own coffee. An iced vanilla latte took so long that my husband, who ordered a plain coffee, was finished with his beverage by the time I emerged with mine. The poor guy working in the back was dripping sweat so much, I'm kind of glad I didn't order food.

This little local doesnt strive for physical granduer but it DELIVERS amazing food. Its a cute place that allows you to order and wait outside under the breeze and the trees for your food. Then,the European Waffles and the breakfast sandwhiches arrive and when you take a bite you say,"Yes,Im in heaven"! I recommend the waffles

While staying at the Fort Myers Beach, we all decided to go for Sunday breakfast & discovered this cafe by accident.Parked right in front. It was a great surprise! We ordered our food (for about 14) and then all the people arrived. We were just in time. It is a small place with outdoor seating as well as inside. We... More

The wafels were very dense and unique. The bagel and lox was very traditional. The breakfast bagel was expected.

This is a wonderful cafe for breakfast or lunch. It is located in an "old Florida" type building with an adjoing courtyard surrounded by palm trees. There is some indoor seating but the courtyard is just a great place to sit and enjoy the wonderful food. Service was prompt and the staff very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the "Snook"... More

Saw the review here and found the place on day 3. Came back day 4,5 and 6. The steamed bagel sandwich was delicious, but on our second visit tried the waffle with Mango jelly. OMG! It felt like we were having breakfast then breakfast dessert! The gentleman (probably owner) was so appreciative to each and every customer that walked through... More

We had no idea how the food would be but the thought of having breakfast outside in their courtyard made it worth taking a chance. So glad we tried it. My wife and I split the Sunrise and Sammy bagels. This how a quick easy breakfast at the beach should be! Highly recommend going.

My husband and I have lived in Florida for 7+ years and miss the good bagels that you get in NY. Well, we found great bagels and fabulous bagel sandwiches at this tiny, hidden cafe. The staff is super friendly and the bagel sandwiches are absolutely to die for. If you're in Fort Myers Beach, this is a must try.

Our first trip to Fort Myers Beach and my husband and I went walking down the beach our first morning there. We walked up the pathway, just to see where it took us, and what a pleasant surprise when we stumbled upon Tuckaway Bagel. We thought we'd give it a try, and we're so glad we did. We both got...
