i am forever recommending bennets. since bennets first opened i have been a customer.
i am a snowbird from canada. what attracted me to bennets, is that they roast their own coffee beans.
i haven't noticed that mentioned here but coffee, good, no great coffee, is most important to me. it is not so often, so it seems to me, that in the south of the u.s. you find great coffee roasters. an owner who spends the money and time to purchase great beans, and carefully very carefully roasts the bean, to perfection. so it seems to me.
the original location is so smart looking. yet cozy and welcoming you could be in a cafe in europe even it looks so smart and smells great when you walk in.
the, there are the donuts and yes people rave about the donuts. theya re much to yummy. had a brother of mine down this past week from canada and always first thing off the plane he wants to go to bennets so you can tell my family are really sold.
well now there is a new location out on sanibel went there this week, and it is bigger and lots of parking and same great donuts and coffee, but to me, i won't go out there again. not the same feel , the just welcoming easy feeling, that i do feel each time i am in the original location
i have never had their iced coffee that someone mentioned but comparing bennets to dunin donuts is just of no comparison in my opinion and some people wrote of slower service, and the place was messy etc. that is not the normal. is always orderly and clean, except on the occasion, as is on weekends, especially, when there are line ups out the door. the staff i find to be trendous, very pleasant and calm and respectful of their jobs and their customers. guess i just can't say enough about bennets.
