FORT MYERS, Fla. (Feb. 20, 2014) \u2013 Bennett\u2019s Fresh Roast<\/a> is featured in a recent post by New York Magazine\u2019s food and restaurant blog Grub Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the blog post titled \u201cSweet: 101 Amazing American Doughnut Shops With Serious Street Cred,\u201d<\/a> Bennett\u2019s is listed as one of three noteworthy Florida doughnut shops.<\/p>\n

According to the blog, Grub Street set out to survey the current doughnut situation in America and didn\u2019t favor new over old. Instead, it looked for shops of all ages with \u201cstreet cred,\u201d spots that feel as immune to trends as doughnuts themselves. The unranked list is organized geographically and is a guide to the places and people that the blog thinks are doing their damnedest to pay proper respect to one of our country\u2019s greatest culinary traditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat an honor to be recognized in this way by New York Magazine\u2019s blog,\u201d said Bennett\u2019s owner Bob Grissinger, former local morning disc jockey C. David Bennett.\u00a0\u201cI think being included shows how much we\u2019ve succeeded in not being just another doughnut and coffee shop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bennett\u2019s Fresh Roast has prided itself on its fresh-from-scratch doughnuts made daily and being the only Fort Myers\u2019 shop to serve fresh roasted coffee from the finest beans resulting in the most flavorful and freshest cup of coffee around. For the past six years, the Bennett\u2019s team has been known for unveiling delicious new doughnut concoctions from flavors including maple bacon, pumpkin spice, maple toffee crunch, s\u2019mores and more. The shop has also become known for surprising offerings like its limited sale (which sold out) of Kopi Luwak coffee, often called \u201ccat-poo coffee\u201d after the prized bean from Indonesia that\u2019s eaten by wild civets, passed through the animal\u2019s digestive tract, and then collected and processed for brewing.<\/p>\n

In addition to fresh roasted coffee and hand-cut-from-scratch doughnuts, Bennett\u2019s also offers fresh desserts from Grissinger\u2019s own recipe book including praline bread pudding, lemon bars and pies, giving area residents an alternative for afternoon treats. Bennett\u2019s also features packaged whole bean or ground coffees, breakfast muffins, oatmeal and breakfast sandwiches. During the weekends, Bennett\u2019s Strata (a layered baked breakfast dish) is a regular sellout. Tea lovers can choose from a large variety of Harney & Sons Fine Teas.<\/p>\n

Lunch offerings including paninis, soups, sandwiches, three signature salads and Bennett\u2019s \u2018Chicken & Donut\u2019 and \u2018Donut Dog\u2019 are available Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

Bennett\u2019s has two locations in Southwest Florida located at 2011 Bayside Parkway in downtown Fort Myers and 1020 Periwinkle Way on Sanibel Island. Both are open Monday through Sunday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
