In the center of a lively city, you’ll find a quaint cafe. Belgian Yummies is a new cafe located in Downtown Fort Myers that recently opened just 4 months ago. Known for their Gelato, this cafe has a variety of flavors. Belgian Yummies is not only filled with cafe specialities, but they also deserve recognition for their top tier service. If you’re visiting or live near this cafe– gelato is always a great option on a hot Florida day, while strolling around the streets of Downtown.
For drinks, Belgian Yummies offers Coffee and Iced Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate, Coffee Treats, Water and Soda Options, Flavor Options, Toppings, and Coffee Add Ins. Although the coffee section is what we’re here for, their food menu items is a lot more interesting! For those with a sweet tooth, you’ll want to keep reading. This cafe serves handmade Gelato, Belgian Waffles, Bubble Waffles, Crêpes, and Liège Waffles. For someone who is not big on sweets, I must admit, I would come to this cafe each week for their sweet treats. My boyfriend ordered the Bubble Waffle Cone with Strawberry Gelato, while I had the Strawberry and Nutella Liège Waffle— and both orders almost made me book a flight to Belgium.
If you’re craving coffee and gelato, but don’t want to order two separate things– you’re in luck because they have a two-in-one deal! You may already know about Affogato, which is Gelato and a shot of espresso over the top; Belgian Yummies also provide Cafe Liegeois on the menu. Cafe Liegeois is Coffee Gelato with espresso shots, topped with whipped cream, Biscoff Cookies Crumble and wafer stick. A perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth with your daily dose of caffeine!
A nice gesture that Belgian Yummies provides for the community is supporting local artists. You have the option to buy any painting hung on their bricked wall made by those in our area. Not only is the food and coffee amazing, but the service is just as sweet. The owner is from Belgium and is proud of his yummy Belgian pastries and coffee– and he has every reason to be. I would definitely come back for more sweet treats from this cafe. If you want to taste the richness of Europe without booking a flight, head to Downtown and walk over to Belgian Yummies!
