Behind two new cafes in the Naples area are first-time restaurant owners with many years of restaurant experience. Café Seabreeze and Sunny House Cafe recently opened in neighborhood centers along busy streets in East Naples and North Naples, respectively. Because of their post-season launches, the owners of the new dining spots hope to connect with local patrons this summer.
Café Seabreeze
Miroslav Volic came to the United States from Serbia many years ago to pursue the American dream, and he aspires to reach the next level with his own restaurant. Before launching Café Seabreeze on June 22, Volic worked for 10 years for some of Stefano Frittella’s downtown Naples restaurants, including The Bevy, Bice, Bonta Bakery and Caffe Milano.
“But no more. Right now, this is my baby,” said Volic, referring, of course, to Café Seabreeze.
While grateful for the local hospitality opportunities he has experienced, Volic has been working two years to launch his own café. To create his cozy dining spot with coastal vibes, he significantly transformed a former Subway sandwich shop at 4830 Davis Blvd., next to the original Tacos & Tequila Cantina in the Publix-anchored Kings Lake Square.
“It’s like a Mediterranean cozy place,” Volic said of the 39-seat Café Seabreeze, which serves Instagram-worthy dishes for brunch, lunch and dinner 8 a.m.-8 p.m. daily.
