Cape Coral Markets
Cape Coral Markets - fresh produce at the Farmer's market, a "trip" to Bella Italia, the mother of all flea markets, and more
Take a break from the grocery store and make your food shopping in Cape Coral an adventure by trying out locally grown produce, freshly caught Gulf seafood, and all manner of items at our specialty markets.
While you're in Florida, you have to have fresh seafood at least once!
Freshly picked fruits and veggies from the farmers market are much tastier than what you can find at the grocery store. Shopping outdoors in the middle of winter on a warm, sunny day for produce is even better!
Expand your horizons with imported foods from Italy, and fine cuts of meat ........... and I bet you will find anything you need at Fleamasters Fleamarket.
Make that special recipe with local fresh fruits and vegetables, shop for supplements and organic produce, you'll find all these specialty items at our Cape Coral markets.
Farmers Markets
During the middle of October through the beginning of May, the Cape Coral Farmers Market is right off of Cape Coral Parkway, at Club Square, on SE 10th Place and SE 47th Terrace.
Put on by the Cape Coral Chamber of Commerce, the market is open every Saturday from 8AM - 1PM.
Over 40 vendors sell local fruits and veggies, fresh seafood, artisan breads, smoothies, nuts, Wisconsin cheeses, and more.
You can shop while listening to live music, entertainment, and community presentations.
On the first and third Saturdays of the month, you will also find artists, craftsmen, and vendors from several states that sell everything from antiques, collectibles, gifts, arts and crafts, furniture, soaps and oils, clothing, florals, jewelry, fashion accessories, decor for home and garden, and much more.
From May to October, the market moves over to Cape Harbour. They are open every Saturday from 8AM - Noon.
Cape Harbour is located at the southern end of Chiquita Blvd and while you are there, you can enjoy a stroll around the marina and shops, or enjoy lunch at one of the restaurants.
Also sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce is the newest of the Cape Coral markets. It's the Sunset Market at the Surfside Shops on the corner of Veterans and Surfside Blvds, every Tuesday from 1-6PM!
This farmer's market is set up outside in the plaza's parking lot from October - May during season.
It moves inside to one of the shops in the plaza for the warmer months.
UPDATE MAY 2018: The Tuesday market has lost its indoor space and will probably stay in its usual outdoor spot in the parking lot, but in the morning and run from 8AM - NOON or 1PM.
I love this little market! This is where I like to buy my fruits and veggies, some of it is locally grown ........ the prices are lower than they are at Publix. You can also buy fresh seafood, grass-fed beef, herbs, honey, plants, clothing, bakery goodies, Italian food, crepes, and a whole lot more.
I sell my handmade soaps, salt scrubs, and body butters along with my handmade beach glass jewelry through my company Coastal Island Creations at this market and the Saturday one downtown during season!
Just over the bridge from the Cape is the Alliance for the Arts Green Market.
Shop for organic produce and handmade crafts under the banyan trees, listen to the live music, taste local treats.
Paesano's
Can't go to Italy? You don't have to, just go to Paesano's, where you can experience a little touch of the Old Country in Paradise!
This Cape Coral market has Italian specialties and imports in a store decorated to look like you're actually in Italy.
Pasta is stacked up high under clotheslines and walls painted with windows reminiscent of an old village.
They have the highest quality freshly-cut meats and the best cold cuts.
As a matter of fact, I have a neighbor who will only buy his meats here.
You will also find local produce, which is delivered daily to make the perfect tomato sauce.
Domestic and imported Italian specialty items, fine wines, and home made desserts are all waiting for you at Paesano's.
Enjoy lunch at their outdoor cafe, where they serve sandwiches, salads, pizza, and other Italian dishes.
Go to Paesano's website for daily and weekly specials, catering and party information.

Lobster Lady is a seafood market and restaurant, and one of my most favorite places to go out to eat.
The food is fabulous and you guessed it ..... they specialize in lobsters! And they have tons of them in tanks along one wall of the market.
Fresh Nova Scotia lobsters are flown in once or twice a day, Ipswich clams, New England scallops, grouper from Pine Island, and other seafood are delivered 6 days a week to ensure the finest quality for both restaurant and market patrons.
This popular restaurant has both indoor and outdoor dining, and because they buy such a high volume of lobsters, you may be able to pay less for a lobster cooked to order than picking one up at the supermarket and cooking it yourself!

You'll find vendors that sell fresh produce, food items, clothing, jewelry, crafts, antiques, collectibles and more!

With over 900 vendors, one day may not be enough to see everything at Fleamasters.

Cape Coral Markets - Citrus
For a quick and fun thing to do, go to Sun Citrus Harvest in Fort Myers for fresh Florida-grown citrus fruit!
It's located on the corner of Six Mile Cypress and Metro Pkwys and is a
family business that was started in 1940 in Vero Beach by the Edsall
family.
The Fort Myers packing house and retail store was opened in 1990 so you can buy the freshest Florida oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, and tangelos.
You can also have the fruit shipped and can make the arrangements right here so you or loved ones up north can enjoy a "taste of Florida sunshine" during the winter and early spring months.
Also available for purchase directly from their store are key limes, peaches, and strawberries plus specialty foods such as jams, jellies, honey, salad dressings, gift baskets, souvenirs, toys, and snacks.
But that's not all, you can sample their amazing juices such as orange, cranberry orange, lemonade .......... and make sure you try the strawberry orange ......... it's the best juice I've ever had! Then buy a gallon or 2 to take home.
Also very popular is their soft serve ice cream. It's absolutely delicious and I recommend that you get the orange vanilla twist.
If you go on a weekend during season, you might have to wait in a long line, but as the sign says:
Kids can play at the playground in front of the store while you shop. Think of Sun Citrus for Christmas shopping, get their convenient gift cards ..... you'll want them for yourself as well as for friends and family!
Go to their website for more information and where you can print a Free Ice Cream coupon.
They are open year-round Monday - Saturday from 8AM-7PM, and Sundays from 10AM-6PM ........ closed Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
