Naples•ism: All Things Naples Florida

If you are familiar with California at all, you know it has countless cafes that exude that classic California laid-back ambiance while serving up organic goodness.

So why am I talking about California when I live in Naples Florida?

Because a slice of this California lifestyle exists at Food & Thought in Naples, an organic grocery, juice bar and outdoor cafe that on every visit instantly transports me back to the downtown streets of Sonoma.

If you haven’t been to Food & Thought yet, I suggest you stop in. The cafe serves up delicious breakfast dishes and lunch-time sandwiches, while the juice bar will satisfy your craving for something sweet, or even hearty, with its fruit and vegetable concoctions.

All of this goodness might have you looking at food differently. If so, stop by the grocery and stock up on some organic goodies. All of the produce comes directly from the Oakes family farm, which is located out in eastern Collier County.

Food & Thought is located at the corner of Golden Gate Parkway and Tamiami Trail North in Naples, across the street from the Coastland Center, in the shopping plaza anchored by Panera Bread and TGI Friday’s. It’s a hidden gem of Naples!
