Food & Thought is an all organic grocery, cafe and juice bar on Tamiami Trail North in Naples, Florida, established in 2004 by Frank Oakes.
The shopfront is signed Organic Farm Market and Juice Bar, and the mission the store sets out is to offer, without exception, only food that is grown organically. Everything in the cafe kitchen is 100 percent organic. The same site holds Thoughtful Threads, their organic clothing shop, and a second all organic restaurant, Food & Thought 2, sits on Airport Pulling Road.
Behind the shop is the company's own 15 acre farm in Collier County, where over 60 types of fruit, vegetables and herbs are grown with organic methods, free from chemical pesticides and GMOs. Long beds of lettuce, kale, cabbage and tomatoes run across it, and what the crew picks goes onto the shop shelves and into the cafe and juice bar. The store also stocks raw dairy from Alday Farm, a separate producer.

Horrible experience I EXCHANGED items 3 times over a span of 3 weeks cause I’m a lymphatic cancer patient in remission with sever autoimmune disorder and sometimes their products were bad like the prepared food because it’s been sitting a few days and makes me severly at risk! every time I exchanged the item and I made sure to get at least $25+ more over apologizing for it and the older lady worker accosted me every time I would go in even on transactions that had no returns about making sure I don’t return anything super rude and disrespectful to my condition even after I tried explaining to her on one occasion during a exchange. That was so wrong! Especially when on multiple occasions I saw other people making returns not EXCHANGES who did not get treated the same way completely disrespectful to my disability! Once I made a fuss about it cause I couldn’t take how she handled me and complained to her and her manager they banned me from the store for being UPSET!!!Rightfully so!!! They said I “scared” her by the way I yelled at her for being so disrespectful all because I’m young and I know my rights and that was completely not okay for her to do so to me after I had already tried to kindly tell her a previous time to not treat me like that when I was seeing her treat other customers with better manners and respect! I have never been treated this way over returning maybe $25 in products while buying over $670 worth of products when I looked back into my transactions and statements. Truly bizarre and telling how much they don’t care about people with ADA disabilities where they are marketing themselves to be that way and I can’t stand stores that operate like that.

We do not hold prices, availability, parking, access details or event dates for Food & Thought. The farm answers those directly on its own site or by phone.
My husband and I both agreed this was probably one of the best meals we have ever had. The Mahi Mahi sandwich was absolutely delicious.
So refreshing excellent service.
Love the little patio, nice shade, friendly people, and delicious organic food made with love ❤️
Best food ever!!!! Eat there as must as possible. Ate there this Saturday it was amazing. Freedom is amazing. The best chef ever. It was my birthday and my two sisters went there with me. Freedom thank you for such amazing food. And Edwin S.your doing a great job too. I love this place. It hard to get this quality of food ever. Thank You very must Freedom.
The omelette I got was average. Same I would make at home. Not fluffy and welcoming like other breakfast places.The bugs and flowers falling on you really ruin the atmosphere. Oh boy it was organic, flowers and flies in my food. Who can ask for more? Fiber and protein added for free. The other food & thought 2 is a much better experience. That one 5/5.
Absolute must stop if you’re looking to eat healthy and have a great breakfast, lunch, dinner, or grocery trip. They have tons of organic options, including a full service restaurant, outdoor seating, a cafe/juicery, and even a boutique store attached. Atmosphere is great, heads up if you’re ordering breakfast- portions are utterly enormous!
We love the fresh organic market here. Tons of fresh, organic produce at great prices. The staff is always very friendly. Wonderful variety of freshly baked breads. We love their raw and vegan desserts. We finally stopped into the cafe for lunch. My husband got the grass fed beef burger and I got the beet and goat cheese salad with chicken. The sides were huge! Everything was so yummy. Can’t wait to be back to try more dishes on their menu!
