An apartment building is the first in line to savor the initial brew of The Shift’s morning coffee (and we’re jealous), but you don’t need to be a resident at West End at City Walk to enjoy a cup of Joe from this cafe. This minimalistic coffee shop located in Downtown Fort Myers has a soothing effect. Its simplicity makes you melt into the seats, escaping the hectic outside world. The best part? It’s animal friendly.
A minimalistic cafe, calls for a minimalistic menu! Shift Coffee Bar offers hot coffee, cold coffee, tea, and other shift (pun intended). The prices are nicely consistent. You can expect to see a price range of $3-$5 on the menu. This is perfect for a quick run-and-grab before work in the mornings. An interesting item on the menu– “Golden Latte”. I never see turmeric in many cafes, so when I do I know the shop knows their roots well! Only 3 cafes I’ve been to has offered the gut-healthy latte. At just $4, you can have the taste of a powerful antioxidant in your system (and they say lattes aren’t good for you). Turmeric helps battle inflammation, so be sure to give it a try if you’re looking for a healthier (and less jittery) option for your next coffee break. I suggest drinking it iced if you’re sensitive to new tastes.
You think I forgot the seasonal shift? I could never! The Shift Coffee Bar offers a seasonal syrup named “SUN-KISSED”! This syrup is made with Fresh Orange, Lemon, Ginger, and Cardamom. It’s Florida in a cup! A sure way to feel refreshed, warm, and sun-kissed all at once. This syrup is in season as of this month, so come down (with your furry friend) to the Shift Coffee Bar for your chance to have the sun in a mug!
