Ice cream in one hand. Coffee in the other. A tropical island all year round. It rarely gets better than this.
This is Marco Island and its best coffee and ice cream combination café, Beebe’s. If you wind up on Marco Island, you have to grab a coffee and a cone at some point during your stay in a Marco Island vacation rental. What kind of discoveries can you make at this acclaimed local island stop?
Stepping Into Beebe’s Ice Cream
Beebe’s is a cozy and family-friendly stop, with a small outdoor seating area and an inside bar top area. It’s simple and quaint, removing extra flourishes and delivering exactly what is promised: coffee and ice cream. At the order counter, there’s a colorful menu screen above.
The Coffee Side
If you want a good and reliable cup of joe, this is the place. Beebe’s does not offer espresso, but you can find some standard flavor options alongside a cup of regular brew. Alternatively, you can grab a blueberry or strawberry icy.
The Ice Cream Side
The ice cream is where Beebe’s shines. Guests can choose from about 30 different flavors at any given time, choosing to mix it up with a traditional cone, a waffle bowl, or a cup. You can also choose to have any of your ice cream flavors as a milkshake.
Beebe’s ice cream in Marco Island is famous for its creaminess, giving guests plenty to sink their teeth into. The scoops are notoriously big, so be careful of over-indulging at the risk of a stomach ache!
You have all your standard ice cream flavors, such as chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. But you also have innovative flavors, like the famous cake-n-batter or the butterscotch bomb. There are also some wide-sweeping favorites, like butter pecan, caramel, and pistachio. You also have plenty of really fun kid’s flavors based on a variety of different popular characters, the most popular being the blue cookie monster blue-soaked ice cream.
There are also alternative Marco Island desserts. For example, the café offers sugar-free options and frozen yogurt if you want to try something a little different. You have numerous toppings available, including all the major sweet staples. Hot chocolate, caramel, marshmallows, mint chips, sprinkles, and even nutter butter are known to be available.
Take a sample of any flavor to see if you really want to commit to a full cup. Of course, you can also mix-and-match flavors up to two.
