“Flo’s is truly a hidden gem in Sarasota and has hands down the BEST Key Lime Pie! The perfect balance of sweet and tart, with a rich, creamy texture that makes every bite unforgettable. What makes it even more special is that the owner, a Key West native, stays true to her roots by using real Key limes! You can tell that so much love, passion, and authenticity go into everything she creates. There is something here for everyone and I’ve had the pleasure of trying almost everything on the menu. From their famous Key Lime Pie to their incredible Honeybell Orange Cake, scones, cookies, and delicious quiches, the creativity and attention to quality really set this bakery apart. The best part, everything is made in house from REAL ingredients. If you haven’t been to Flo’s yet you are missing out!”

“This spot holds a special place in my heart! The Dearborn Coffeehouse has the best vibe and atmosphere in town. It's my favorite coffee house on this coast. 💕🏴☠️✨ As a local charity founder, I have to emphasize how much I appreciate their commitment to the community. It's businesses like The Dearborn Coffeehouse that support local charity work and help keep our community sound. For coffee, you can't beat their Café Cubano—the best in Englewood! And seriously, treat yourself to their delicious fresh cinnamon rolls and incredible seasonal pastries. A perfect local retreat! 💙”
