Gilbert's Coffee Bar - Sunset Bay

Gilbert’s Coffee Bar is a hidden gem in Stuart! I stop by every time I’m in town. It’s right on the water with a beautiful view and the coziest atmosphere. The staff is always friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and the food is amazing. I love grabbing a coffee or juice and working from one of the little tables. Their avocado toast is a favorite of mine, but the muffins and sweet toasts are incredible too (my boyfriend always goes for those!). On weekends, it’s the perfect spot to meet a friend or a special little coffee date. Grab a coffee drink, sip a glass of Prosecco and unwind by the water. It’s a small place, and parking can be a bit tricky—but it’s 100% worth it. Highly recommend!

We chose this place based on Google Maps reviews too. It’s a small café with a view of the pier and plenty of cozy little tables. We ordered coffee and muffins — a pistachio latte without sugar and muffins with a mix of nuts and orange. The café itself is very cozy, and we picked a table outside. The coffee was delicious, and the muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste — I prefer a more moderate sweetness, so I’ll let others be the judge of those. Big thanks to the staff for the quick service and their attention to customers!

Always a vibe! Parking can be a challenge so be prepared lol or be ok doing valet at Sailors. It’s a really beautiful spot with tons of seating all around outside. Cute small spots inside too if you want out of the heat. Love the avocado toast and matcha! Great smoothies too.

Gilbert’s is such a local favorite, and honestly, the coffee and food are so good; actually delicious. The environment at the marina is amazing. However, the hygiene practices are something I just can’t get past. The staff stirs iced coffees and other drinks using the same straw they hand you to drink with, which means their ungloved hands are all over the straw, touching the exact spot that goes in your mouth. From a sanitation standpoint, that’s a major concern. The top of the straw is not wrapped or protected, and they don’t have additional straws available for customers to grab a clean, wrapped one instead. I understand the environmental hesitation around plastic straws, especially at a marina, but food-service sanitation practices shouldn’t be compromised. Maybe management can enf

I stumbled into Gilbert’s a day after leaving Sailor’s return. It looked like a great establishment on the water and wanted to give it a try for breakfast and a coffee. I got my usual, hot latte and tried the nutty toast. The sourdough toast was decorated with almond butter and banana coins and topped with chia seeds. The bread was fresh and the perfect texture! The water views and outdoor dining area littered with people on a weekday morning says a lot about a place! The barista’s were friendly and kind and seemed very happy to be there. I’ll be back!
