“A busy Saturday morning, at such a fantastic establishment, you can expect a wait, but it is well worth it. Hands down the best breakfast we've ever had, outside of my own kitchen! The brioche French toast was light and fluffy, the option to get real maple syrup is a perfect pairing. The apple wood smoked bacon is absolutely fantastic. Veggie omelette, was so delicious and full of veggies! The home fried potatoes are seasoned and cooked perfectly. My absolute favorite was the marble rye toast, the most delicious bread I've ever had. And our server Ken was great!“
“I placed the catering order and I had to pick it up today (Friday the 29th)Because they were not taking any more orders for Saturday that was no problem I decided to that I might as well eat while I was there as I arrived around 10:45 after waiting a while to be seated I fixed my first plate off the breakfast buffet. My waitress was not very friendly the first time around I just figured she was having a bad day, I've had dental work done so I could only eat a one side of my mouth and I also received a business call that I had to take I was slow eating and not even halfway through my meal the waitress set down the check I thought it was odd I didn't say anything, after I tried a couple of the breakfast items I went back and tried a couple more things on the breakfast buffet then I noticed that the lunch buffet was open so I had one piece of chicken a little bit of beef and noodles and about a bite of sauerkraut with two pieces of sausage. I returned to my table and the waitress walk by I asked her for a refill seem to be a bother to her keep in mind I was there Thursday night with my family who was some out of town eight of us and I eat there probably once every other week and I've never had an experience like the one I had today also keep in mind I was there to pick up $115 catering order. When she brought back my soda I gave her my credit card thinking okay she wants to turn the table as she returned I noticed she took off the breakfast buffet and charged me for the lunch buffet I would not have had a problem with this other than she should have said something I saw multiple people eating off both sides I wonder if their waitress that I hope was in a better mood than mine would inform them that they were paying for the lunch buffet not the practice granted it's only $5 but it is a principle of the thing in my book I felt like she thought I was trying to scam or something it made me feel uncomfortable. I was not only disappointed in her doing this but I was disappointed in the service. I do hope that this message gets reviewed and that you guys as a management team come up with a process to inform people that if they take one or two items off the lunch buffet they're getting charged I can afford it what about people who can't?I do have to say I didn't tip her because I felt the service was bad and I also felt that that extra $5 that she put on my bill what's her tip I wasn't trying to be rude or sarcastic but it did make a point. All in all a disappointing way to start my afternoon..I did pop my head into the office and make a very short statement that I was disappointed in her action and got a sides look from one of the people who were sitting at the desk and a small apology from a lady who was standing there..You may think wow why is he making such a big deal out of this the big deal was it was bad service she had an attitude I was very nice to her she should have pointed it out to me she made me feel cheap and she made me feel like I was scamming the restaurant over..I did pick up my catering order and believe it or not I actually had money to pay for it I don't know if she thought that I didn't have any money I'm not sure what she thought but I do know this the policy should be changed she should have said we're now on the lunch buffet and since you had two items on charging you for the lunch buffet..So this $5 difference between the breakfast and lunch buffet has left a terrible taste in my mouth and I will be hesitant to come back for a while.I hope this young lady learns to treat every guest like a welcome guest!Best regards.“
“Out of this world delicious cookies! Love the weekly menu changes too. If you haven't tried them yet do yourself a favor and get a cookie! Today, I ordered cookies as a gift. Lightning fast service! Delivery was made within an hour of me placing the order!“
“An absolute delight! Last minute birthday cupcakes were needed and when I walked in, I was greeted with amazing service! I met one of the owners and he was so very sweet and informative about all of the sweet treats they had and made it extra special with the birthday signs for the cupcakes! They even have tons of Gluten Free options as well which is always a great find. Cupcakes were absolutely delicious and a hit. Thank you so much! Will be back when I need my next sweet treat :)“
“I called in 2 days before a birthday celebration ! And BAM !!!! They had everything ready and it was Absolutly perfect. From the Cakeballs to Cupcakes , Cookies and more. SWEET DOCTORS WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. EVERY SINGLE BITE WAS MOIST AND DELICIOUS. THANK YOU TO THE Sweet Doctor and his wonderful staff !!!“
“Quite possibly the best crafted coffees you will find anywhere,, very informative barista ,,quite pricey if you buy whole beans and such .. but the per cup charge for what you get of lattes etc is actually almost cheap for the quality of the drink “
“these are some of the best cookies I’ve ever had All of the employees that I met were very kind And it was a very clean workspace If you download the app, it gives you Points and eventually you can earn cash to get free cookies or accessories I very much recommend getting the app I’ve gotten two free cookies and a cookie cutter You also can get birthday rewards And it is very easy to get Extra crumb points“

“These guys just opened up here not too far from my house and I decided to give them a try, and just WOW! These pastries are fantastic! Everything’s made fresh, and tastes amazing. They also offer a selection of beverages including Milk teas, lattes, boba etc. The Winter Melon tea is especially refreshing and delicious. They have a cozy little storefront and all the staff are very friendly, I’ll definitely be a frequent flyer here for sure!“
“Not many local Argentine food places in Sarasota but it is definitely worth a visit. Food was fresh and all prepared in house. There empanadas are the best and well priced. Facturas are baked on premises and super fresh. Sandwiches de miga were great too. Small local family owned shop and they put a lot of pride in their products . Great job Adriana and Victor!“
“Family owned business. The owners are providing A+ service. Me and my family visited many times and also ordered custom cakes for my daughters bdays and other occasions. Too bad we are further from Sarasota (New Tampa). otherwise we would be weekly regulars for sure. Amazing food and assortiment of products available. This place is simply amazing in all possible ways. We are your loyal slovakian customers !!!“
“Amazing food, we had quiche Lorraine and a couple varieties of savory crepes, all were the best we've ever had BUT we waited far longer than the tables around us for our breakfast and our server was rude about it rather than apologetic, then took 20min just to bring the bill. Maybe an isolated incident but it marred what should have been a rave review.“
“I have had the pleasure of sampling several cakes (and cupcakes) by Ron at various events, and they never disappoint. Most recently was a lemon blueberry birthday cake - just as beautiful as it was tasty! I highly recommend these confections for any occasion, or no occasion at all - because sometimes you just deserve a decadent treat.“
“Just had the nicest time at the Elixir Tea House. My friend surprised me with a birthday high tea. I didn't know what to expect as I'm not a big tea drinker. When we got there, we were escorted to a cute little room with sofas and chairs and a table full of tapas sized sandwiches and desserts. We had great conversation in a cozy little room while we sampled six different teas (they had 80) and had a glass of champagne. The service was wonderful, the food was fantastic and the teas were absolutely lovely. What a special little place. I will definitely return!“
“It's been years since I had one of their pies when they were on Swift Rd. I thought they were out of business and while searching Google maps for something I saw the Bee Ridge store. To say they're awesome still falls short. There goes my waistline.“
“If you are looking for a true coffee shop with character this is the right place for it. The place is very cozy, very clean, the coffee here is phenomenal, they have a great selection of pastries, you would for sure enjoy a good cup of coffee here not to mention the service was outstanding, Iryna was amazing she has a special touch when dealing with customers. I am absolutely impressed with this place, I will continue to come here every time im in the neighborhood. I would rate higher if I could. 100% recommended!“
“One day last week the girls finally had a day out shopping. We stopped in the afternoon to check out this bakery and market. After some cookies I asked about bagels and they only had frozen ones left. I brought a half dozen bag of cinnamon raisin bagels home. Just like the cookies and cakes, the bagels are to die for. They are brought in from New York every morning and baked in the store. I knew my fiancé would love it here. We rode our bikes using the legacy trail from Venice, and since Sarasota has wonderful bike lanes, we easily found our way to the bakery. Now to back up to the beginning of our ride, I took a nasty spill in the first mile and just tried to keep my wound clean along the way and continued my ride. When we rolled up to the market, I cleaned it with water again. Before I knew it, a sweet employee came out to ask me if I needed a bandage. We went in to get the first aid and they fixed me up. It was so nice to see humanity at its best. I really want to thank them for their hospitality. We then went to the bakery and enjoyed their fresh Fruit Tarts. Yummy! Planning another trip with our car to be able to shop the market properly. I highly recommend the gourmet food and the bakery but especially the customer service.“
“I discovered PRENDEZ-VOUS Bakery a few months ago and have become a regular customer. It's a little piece of France in the middle of Sarasota. The bread is delicious and crisp, the viennoiseries are just perfect and the pastries are a real treat.The service is always warm and friendly. The staff are always happy to help you choose the right bread or pastry.The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The bakery has a few tables inside where you can enjoy your coffee and croissant.In short, RENDEZ-VOUS Bakery is an excellent address for all lovers of French bread, viennoiseries and pastries. I highly recommend this place!PS: A special thanks to Orlane, who is not only attentive to your needs, but also super pleasant and welcoming.“
“one of the best decisions I have made in this new year was stopping by and checking this shop out while on a walk through downtown Sarasota.... amazing donuts and the lady who served me was as friendly as a person could be. Definitely will be driving two hours to stop by again from time to time. #Dunkinwho“
“Still a classic place for a breakfast or brunch! There aren't many left in the north, so it was a nice treat to find a few Perkins in Sarasota. The build your own breakfast was delicious and the portion was plenty that we didn't eat again until dinner. Scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, hash brown potatoes, and pancakes. We also tried the biscuits with a side of honey. All delicious! I love diner coffee, and it was bottomless. The coffee isn't strong, but it hits the spot!“

“The ability to speak French isn’t required. Tucked away in the massive UTC 4 corner mall madness complex is a small slice of France. Stopped for lunch but ended up ordering a delicious Eggs Benedict on a melt-in-your-mouth, buttery croissant with salmon. OMG it was amazing!Will need to go back to drool over the back goods.“
“Croissant and a latte, blueberry muffin, and a coffee, today’s indulgence. Lots of room for us outside dining which is a favorite of ours. A popular spot so sometimes seating is that a premium where the action is for Saturdays farmers market.“
“I worked at the Bradenton Bakery as a production technician/sponge mixer and I was responsible for getting the process of making the bread started. I mixed all the ingredients into a huge dough mixer and after it fermented for about an hour I pulled the troughs of dough, that weighed over 2000 pounds, onto a lift that raised it up and dumped the dough into the main mixers. It was a very hard and hot job but I loved working there. My experience with the company as a whole was awesome. I recommend to anyone that doesn't mind working hard and getting great pay and benefits to apply there. The human resources department folks are just wonderful and will treat you very well.“
“Stopped in and was instantly drawn to the birthday cake donut as I'm a huge sucker for sprinkles. The donut was fantastic and the guy working the counter was just as sweet as the donut. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town! Thanks Five-O! ??“
“Stopped by the Lakewood Ranch Farmer's Market and got 2 different pieces - as first time customers we were impressed. The breads were the perfect combination of crispy and chewy - they were amazing. Half eaten by the time we got home, and was using them for every snack thereafter. We can't wait to go back for more!“
