Mike Forster, owner of Mangrove Mike’s Café, in partnership with the Stanczyk family of Bud N Mary’s Marina, announced the expansion of the Mangrove Mike’s Café brand to the outdoor café located at the marina. 

Located at MM 79.8, oceanside, the café is adjacent to the retail/marina office and offers dining views of the iconic marina as well as call ahead take out for boating and fishing guests.

“We’re excited to embark on this new venture and having the Mangrove Mike’s Café brand becoming a staple at the historic marina and with the recent announcement of the collaboration of Mote Marine and Bud & Mary’s Marina,” Forster said.  “It was a perfect fit and time to join in, and be a part of something very special in Islamorada, overlooking the majestic Alligator Reef Lighthouse.”

The new café will showcase customer favorites, such as the chorizo breakfast burrito and the Italian sub and some new items and specials will be making an appearance on the menu as well. 

“It’s incredible to have the opportunity to work alongside the Stanczyks and Islamorada’s beloved fishing captains by catering to their guests and enhancing the overall customer experience,” he said. 

Mangrove Mike’s Café at Bud N Mary’s is open daily from 6a .m. to 2 p.m. Guests may place orders in advance by calling 305-664-0166.
