Last May, the Coffee Bar @Bailey’s Barista’s were challenged to create the most creative and tasty drink. The winner was Alicia Meyer with her Strawberry Banana Mochaccino, which was perfect for summer. This time around, the challenge is to create the perfect Fall Drink; something that makes you feel like leaves are changing and that even in South Florida, the temperature might drop a few degrees – and we’re the search for members of our judge’s panel. Do you think you have what it takes?

If you would like to be a Judge for the Coffee Bar @Bailey’s Fall Barista Challenge on Sunday October 3^rd, please send us an email at sanibelcoffeebar@gmail.com with your name, favorite Coffee Bar @Bailey’s drink, and a paragraph about yourself and why you’d make a great judge. Submissions must be received by September 25^th.

Island Cinema patrons can now enjoy coffee during movie showings. Coffee Bar @Bailey’s has teamed up with Island Cinema to provide moviegoers with custom orders delivered right to their seats.

Guests can enjoy espresso-based coffee drinks, including lattés, espressos and cappuccinos, frappuccino-style cold drinks, smoothies and even Italian cream soda. Loyalty cards are available at the counter and reward customers with a free drink for every nine purchased.
