“We eat here at least once a week outside and we absolutely love every bit of our food! It is a bit hard to find at first....but well worth it ! It closes early but we go at any time of the day and they will serve breakfast for lunch or vice versa. I love their COFFEE and Spinach/bacon omelette and their delicious biscuits and grits and their seasonal chicken biscuit with egg and pimento cheese and bacon jam was unbelievable ! We love their mimosas and all their fancier pancakes and french toast options. Great shrimp and grits ! All of those are the best I have had.We absolutely LOVE ANNIE and we always hope she will be our waitress. She is super friendly and will answer any of your questions. She is always smiling ! You should go....you will love it !!“
“JD is awesome! He always has a friendly welcoming smile on his face at drive thru! Recognizes his customers and provides great customer service! Truly a great person and it shows how hard of a worker he is and really invests in his job! Way to go!“
“We went there for a Sunday brunch. The cafe is in the backyard of a home that is tastefully decorated resembling English tea rooms. They offer a very friendly service with a fixed menu. The food is okay but it is not the main attraction for this place. you will leave the place with a feeling that you will be back. We all had a great time.“
“It was pretty good. The food was good, but it was not great considering the price. We spent $40 for two meals. One breakfast of eggs and bacon, nothing fancy. And I had the chicken wrap. We had waters to drink. The place was super busy, so the servers were really spread too thin. Maybe they were short-staffed? The portions were really big, so that was good. Although we didn't sit outside, it looked really nice! Good place for the snowbirds, but as a local, we have other top choices!“
“Love the staff, food and location. That being said, we came here 3 times in a week. Twice for breakfast and once for lunch - each time with our dog. The breakfasts are really good: Denver omelette with their potatoes, avocado toast, even their grits are tasty. They have biscuits for the dogs as well as a fresh water bowl… what’s not to like? We leave for home tomorrow, so today was our last time for this trip!“
“Sarasota and Manatee have a serious lack of small venues for local and traveling bands, artists, etc. I am so thrilled to have Oscura exists. They constantly have great shows and events, including those for local residents to perform with open mics and poetry reading. Also, the drink menu is carefully and thoughtfully curated. The coffee is fantastic. The cocktails are fun and delicious. The non-alcoholic options are more extensive than anywhere I’ve been in our area. I absolutely love checking out shows here. In my hometown up north, there was a local or traveling bands playing original music somewhere nearly every night of the week and I’m from a town of 100k. Oscura brings me back to those days and the vibes are immaculate.“
“A lovely little cafe in Sarasota with service and food that matches the pretty exterior. SlI stopped by on a Monday morning whilst on vacation, and though the place was quite busy, the staff was handling it very well, and the vibe was fast but comfortable. My experience when ordering was pleasant and bright, and that was an idiom kept by all staff working at the time.I got a stuffed croissant with egg and cheese and spinach, which was quite delicious. My wife got a stuffed everything bagel with ham, egg, cheese and spinach and commented it was tasty enough that she couldn't stop eating it. I got my children elephant ears that they both liked, and my wife and I split a maple pecan croissant that was decadent and enjoyable. Overall, it's definitely a spot I'd say to stop at if you're in Sarasota, as they also had dozens of other beautiful looking pastries, a vast drink menu and lunch options.“
“Locally owned by good people, the service is outstanding, the food is consistently delicious and hot. Would recommend to anyone who asks and everyone I know! I would give them 6 stars if I could ?Kid-friendliness: Kid and pet friendly ? Seating is available inside and outside!“
“Met one of the owners(son) at a bni event, rushed to get food before they closed to try it, his mom(owner) was super nice and we had a conversation while my food was being prepared. What an amazing little place, i can tell you the cuban sandwich was AMAZING, im always tasting cuban sandwiches and this one was definitely on the high score. Please support this amazing family and go try their food. I will become a regular. Batido de mamey? Absolutely ????. Gracias“
“Arrived early and got a prime spot on the outdoor patio yesterday. The service is fast for how busy it is and the food is AMAZING! from the shrimp and grits, to the lemon blueberry pancakes to just coffee even...this is a must stop while in Siesta Key! Worth the wait!“
“I have enjoyed Blvd Cafe for breakfast and lunch. Love the croissants and latte and both the grilled salmon salad and flank steak with salad were delicious lunch entrees! The owner Mica is gracious and the wait staff hard-working and friendly. Great neighborhood, friendly vibe.“

“I stopped in for my first time today and had the Palmer burger with potato salad and it was pretty amazing. The atmosphere was very nice and the staff was very friendly. Palmer's has my respect and support and I will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. Keep up the good work.“
“Just perfect. It's not often a restaurant can tick off all the boxes well. They did just that last night before the opera. Pleasant at walking in, greeted and seated very pleasantly. Service was at the perfect cadence never rushed and respectful of our opera start. Nor did anyone try to clear the table early, a practice I loathe.Meal was great and our waitress (Meredith) couldn't have been more perfect.I'll be back for sure.“
“This is a real mom and pop establishment and it’s phenomenal. It’s just in an old house in a neighborhood but don’t let the exterior fool you. Best panini I’ve ever had. Try the chicken pesto. No outside seating and small inside so more of a to go spot in my opinion.“
“My daughter lives in the area and wanted me to try breakfast at First Watch. It was nicely decorated and had a great outside porch to enjoy the sun. We sat outside and enjoyed watching the Turtles and Birds in the pond. Our food came quickly and we had great service. I would definitely eat again here. I got the Everything Omelette--So good, along with the fried potatoes.“
“At first was not sure about this place, but after the food came I realized why this thing has a great review. Food is home style and amazing. Home made sausage has a slight hint of spice. I ordered the Brave and it was delicious.I love that it say No WiFi.You are here to eat and not do your computer work.“
“heard many great reviews and so glad we finally had a chance to try them. Cozy comfortable pet friendly outdoor seating was a very welcome alternative to the busy bustling inside. Fast service and a menu to die for. Delicious waffles, french toast and their special mango butter is a real treat. The fresh baked mango muffins are, seriously OH MY GAWD! Cannot wait for our next visit and try other dishes from their very creative menu and.... of course bring home more muffins.“
“This First Watch provides customer service that is second to none. Every one of their employees that we encounter are super friendly and they work hard to make sure that you are totally satisfied and happy! Hats off to the management! We dont go to too many places that do it this well. Oh and the food is incredible too! We highly recommend this restaurant!“
“Great coffee and great staff! Centrally located near everything I need downtown. Their prices are reasonable, and I love the tables outside to enjoy my coffee, watch the sights and talk with friends. And even make new ones. I haven't tried the food yet, but plan on it soon. Definitely going to make this my new hangout!“
“I’ve been a long time fan of First Watch. I “discovered” my very first one back in 2017 in one of my trips to Orlando. Since then, First Watch has become a must do for breakfast everywhere we go! The Sarasota one is to me one of the top! Amazing service, very friendly and always happy to help. The food super fresh and delicious. If you happen to be in downtown Sarasota, I guarantee you’ll have an amazing time here.“
“This place has great food and friendly, efficient servers. It is family run by great people who genuinely care about having satisfied customers and a good reputation. Somehow they have kept pricing reasonable along with high quality. I have made Sunday morning breakfasts a ritual and what a great way to start the week. Love this place!“
“Obsessed with this spot. Very good quality, tasty food made with local ingredients. You can even get beer and wine. Great ambience. Beside a very lovely playground. We were here multiple times during out 3 week trip and will be back. Thank you!“
“Always great food. This time we had the caprese board and burgers. My 9yr old daughter loved the blackberry fojito and ate almost her whole burger. Our server was great and we finished with the lava cake. It is always a bit loud, but still great atmosphere.“
“Great place! We sat in their beautiful patio and it was great ambience! Firstly, we were welcomed with water & coffee. The coffee was good. We ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and were delicious. The lemon curd is great with the ricotta pancakes & the strawberries. And we ordered the Parma scrambled egg which came with potatoes and it was delicious too. I didn’t give the service 5 stars because we waited a little too long for the food. Best breakfast in the Bee Ridge area!“
“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.“
“Place is very nice! Every Thursday they hold Smash Tournaments and it gets pretty busy. Service is great! Although it is somewhat slow compared to other places as there is only one person manning the entire operation, but the place is nice so I didnt mind the wait and it is not too long. I highly recommend it if you like anime as well! The decoration is great and they have anime running in the TV.The food is good, especially the fat boy ramen, and the coffee is great!“
“The outside of the cafe is nicely decorated and the inside is rather simply decorated, relaxing music was playing in the dining room, the floor is concrete but clean, the employees were very friendly and efficient, they have many coffee and tea choices, some delicious bakery items, a breakfast croissant, my medium roast coffee was delicious.“
“This is some of the best coffee I ever ever had. Living in the Toledo Ohio area we have our fair share of local roasters but ATRIA delivered an amazing vanilla latte with great presentation and taste.The staff was pleasant and very efficient.The facility was very clean, which in my opinion, tells you a lot about the management.This is a location that should be saved as a favorite in everyone’s Google Maps lists.“
