FORT MYERS, Fla. (Feb. 6, 2015) \u2013 Bennett\u2019s Fresh Roast<\/a> will celebrate its seventh anniversary on Monday, Feb. 9 with discounted dozens and a reappearance of a limited edition anniversary donut.<\/p>\n

In honor of its seventh anniversary, Bennett\u2019s will offer a dozen donuts for $7 on Monday, Feb. 9 at both shop locations in Fort Myers and Sanibel while supplies last. In addition, both locations will offer its limited edition Honey Berry Mascarpone Donut from Monday, Feb. 9 through Sunday, Feb. 15 while supplies last. Made famous on Grissinger\u2019s appearance on the Cooking Channel and Food Network\u2019s Donut Showdown, the Honey Berry Mascarpone is a fluffy donut covered in mascarpone icing, topped with three types of berries and then drizzled in honey.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so thankful that our little dream of a niche coffee and donut shop has garnered so many loyal patrons and has provided us many more opportunities, including another location on Sanibel Island to better serve our customers,\u201d said Bennett\u2019s owner Bob Grissinger, former local morning disc jockey C. David Bennett.<\/p>\n

Grissinger opened Bennett\u2019s in 2008 with partners Roger Munro, Frank Albano and Anne Munro at the start of the area\u2019s worst economic downturn.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe opened in downtown Fort Myers at the worst possible time economically, but thanks to this supportive community, we made it through and are still thriving,\u201d said Grissinger.<\/p>\n

Bennett\u2019s Fresh Roast has prided itself on its fresh-from-scratch donuts made daily and being the only Fort Myers\u2019 donut shop to serve fresh roasted coffee from the finest beans resulting in the most flavorful and freshest cup of coffee around. For the past seven years, the Bennett\u2019s team has been known for unveiling delicious new donut 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 donuts, Bennett\u2019s also offers fresh desserts from Grissinger\u2019s own recipe book including praline bread pudding and lemon bars, 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 at its downtown location, while the Strata is available every day on Sanibel. The Sanibel shop also offers a pancake dish for breakfast. Tea lovers may choose from a large variety of Harney & Sons Fine Teas. 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 downtown Fort Myers shop is located at 2011 Bayside Parkway and is open Monday through Sunday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Bennett\u2019s Sanibel shop is located at 1020 Periwinkle Way and is open Monday through Sunday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.<\/p>\n
