The Cheesecake Factory Is Opening Next Month At Coconut Point

The wait is almost over, The Cheesecake Factory coming to Coconut Point in Estero has announced their opening.

Southwest Florida residents can enjoy the newest chain restaurant in our area, beginning August 22nd, according to the restaurant website.

The restaurant is going in at Coconut Point in the large, renovated space, that was once home to Stir Crazy Asian Grill, before they closed their doors a few years back in December of 2019.

This will be Lee County's first location.  Collier County does have a location, at The Coastland Center Mall, which opened in 2005.

The Cheesecake Factory is a California based restaurant chain, with over 200 restaurants nationwide.  They’re known for their huge menu selection, famous brown bread, and of course Cheesecake.

With more than 250 items on the menu, it may be hard to believe that we make things fresh and from scratch in each restaurant – but it’s true! Our prep kitchens are one of the busiest spots in our restaurants, and it’s where the magic begins every day.

Ranking The 12 Top Places For Ice Cream In Fort Myers, because July is National Ice Cream Month. A couple of Cape Coral and Alva locations snuck onto the list.

July already?  Where has 2023 gone?  Wasn't Valentine's Day yesterday?  WOW!

According to National Calendar Day, we should all be gearing up for a cup or a cone, because July is National Ice Cream Month.  With that in mind, we thought what better a time to share the top rated places for Ice Cream in Fort Myers this summer, and some fun Ice Cream Facts.

If you're like me, you prefer a cup.  I'm simple really, two scoops of traditional strawberry and I'll walk away happy.  If I'm feeling a little edgy, I might ask for a waffle cone.  Unpopular opinion, I cannot stand chocolate ice cream.

Anyway, to put this list together, I took to the crew over at Yelp!  They're the experts at customer ratings and reviews, so why not take a look at their favorites in Fort Myers

These are the top 12 places for ice cream in Fort Myers you might want to add to your summer list of treats.
