  A hidden gem! Really good omelet ( try the veggie with sharp cheddar) and cappuccino. Bagels come in interesting varieties-- like spinach. Hubby liked his soup Nd egg salad sandwich. Friendly service in a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Give it a try!

  I have been frequenting this place since high school.  Even now, when I come home every great once in a while I make sure to have some wings at the Tavern and of course a bagel sandwich and some coffee at the Grainery.
  
  It is a small bagel cafe, and they still only take cash, but their bagels are worth it.  They make them fresh and they offer several different kinds.  I highly recommend you get there before 11 to get one though because they usually sell out by about that time.  They have several types of flavored coffees to choose from and they can also make you a nice latte.
  
  My favorite part about the place is that it is a great small business in my hometown.  The owners are very nice people whose kids I grew up with, and the employees always include kids going to Naples high school.  Several of my friends worked there during and shortly after high school.    I always run into people I know even after years of being away.  It's a nice place to sit down and play catch up.
  
  If you are in the Naples area, I highly recommend fueling up here in the morning or afternoon before going off to the vineyards and wineries or out on the lake.

  The Grainery sort of let me confused.  It's a place that's advertised as a "natural eatery" that offers great vegan and vegetarian selections.  This sounded perplexing for the tiny town of Naples, and I had a serious hankerin' for some egg- and dairy-free treats so I dragged Ross M in to check it out for a late afternoon snack.
  
  Bummer #1:  Despite the menu we had for it at the cabin listing the hours as 7:00 - 4:00, it closed at 2pm.  It was 2:18. Ughhh.
  
  We came back the next day in time for lunch.
  
  Unfortunately, my excitement and anticipation quickly deflated when I flung open the doors to reveal a cutesy coffee shop, instead of my vegan paradise.  The chalk-board menu was heavily focused on bagels and bagel sandwiches; they offered 2 soups (one was creamy, the other was barley, so they were both out for me), and a handful of relatively basic sandwiches.
  
  Bummer #2:  The Grainery uses store-bought bread! Hello, it's a grainery!
  
  The sandwiches weren't bad, but definitely weren't anything to write home about. (I can do turkey, lettuce and tomato on my own, thanks)
  
  Bummer #3: Unless you have a hankerin' for a boca burger or a hummus + veggie wrap, there really isn't anything vegan on the menu.
  
  On an interesting and random note, they do have a nice selection of inexpensive wholesale spices.  Sooooo, for those of you looking for a sandwich AND some ground mustard seed you're in luck.  I considered 2 stars, but I added a bonus star for the spices, having cool decor and soymilk for your coffee. Overall: this place is just your basic coffee & sandwich shop.  There are definitely better spots to be found in Naples.
