FORT MYERS, Fla. (Aug. 27, 2014) \u2013\u00a0Bennett\u2019s Fresh Roas<\/a>t wants to give parents a boost to the start of the school year with free coffee.<\/p>\n

Beginning Sept. 1, both Bennett\u2019s locations will offer a free 12-ounce cup of coffee with the purchase of a doughnut on weekdays.<\/p>\n

\u201cParents have been entertaining their young ones all summer long, so we wanted to do something nice for them as the kids head back to school,\u201d said Bennett\u2019s owner Bob Grissinger, former local morning disc jockey C. David Bennett.\u00a0\u201cAll summer, we gave kids a free doughnut when they read a book at our shops, so now it\u2019s the parents\u2019 turn to enjoy a free, fresh roasted cup of coffee with one of our made-from-scratch doughnuts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The offer is available during regular business hours Monday through Friday while supplies last until Sept. 30 and includes one complimentary cup of coffee per customer, per weekday.<\/p>\n

To date, Bennett\u2019s seventh annual summer reading program that ends Sept. 1, has provided more than 1,500 school-aged children a complimentary fresh doughnut for reading a book at either their downtown Fort Myers or Sanibel Island location.<\/p>\n

Bennett\u2019s Fresh Roast has prided itself on its fresh-from-scratch doughnuts made daily and being the only Southwest Florida doughnut 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. On 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, one in downtown Fort Myers and one on Sanibel Island. Both are open Monday through Sunday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
