“Cutest spot to grab a coffee and relax!“

“Best place to have a meal on the island! Amazing ownership & staff!“

“The traditional Cuban sandwich is out of this world, the croquetas are perfectly crispy, and the mamey shake is pure heaven. The other day, my coworkers and I tried their delivery service—expected in 40 minutes, but just 5 minutes later it was already on the way, fresh and perfect. Everything arrived super fast and with amazing quality. Highly recommended!“

“Why have Starbucks when there’s great fresh brewed coffee at Riviera French UTC. No real wait. This coffee shop is located on the upper floor of UTC mall, Sarasota.

Loved coffee. We had a cappuccino, drip coffee and a plain croissant.“

“Highly recommend this venue for your special occasion- the owner exceeded our expectations at every level. From the decor to the food- she made my daughter’s bridal shower exquisite!!! Everyone commented that it was the nicest shower they had ever attended! And the food and cake- omg- soooo delish! 5 ⭐️s!“

“Celebrating our youngest daughter’s birthday and engagement, what a beautiful morning, great pastries, amazing croissants, and the drinks were divine!“

To top it off they have a points system where you can earn free food/drinks if you go enough. Whether you are local or visiting Sarasota you definitely want to make sure you stop and enjoy some of their excellent offerings.“

“The staff here is fantastic! Received the wrong sandwich from the drive thru. I cant blame them completely for this since I could have seen the wrong sandwich was listed on the ordering screen but I didn't think to look. When we received the food (promptly) we noticed one of the sandwiches was incorrect. When I went back inside to fix this, they were beyond accommodating and took care of me quickly. I wish all business had such friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend this location. Will come back again!“

“As a member of both the Sarasota Museum of Art and OLLI, I frequently have lunch at Bistro. Although the prices are a bit high, it’s a delightful spot for a delicious meal or coffee with a crisp croissant, scrumptious brownie or corn cookie. I don’t know if the restaurant’s revenue benefits the above cultural entities, which I hope it does, its off-the-beaten-path location and, therefore, limited pool of customers justifies the prices. I have never been disappointed in the always fresh and interesting food or in the prompt service. The Bistro is light and bright, the decor is artsy and welcoming and it’s such a convenient place to go after or before enjoying a cultural activity!“

“if as a poor European you're visiting the us its hard to find the good food given the abundance of fast food which is too greasy, too salty or way too sugary.here at the selby cafe we found excellent sandwiches. we had a salad and a sandwich with a teatrue its pricey, but its good taste you get for it

Kid-friendliness: our son had the pizzahe was very happy with it“

“amazing service from Camille and the food was perfect as always“

“Great service, atmosphere, and food! Garden Lasagna was outstanding!“

“From Roger’s energetic greeting, to Tara’s enthusiastic attention to detail and service, it was a great experience! This place is immaculate (thank Anthony who scrubs booths and tables like an operating room) and happy. Great food and generous portions which equals a good value. The pancakes are a meal by themselves! We eat out every day and this is a wonderful place for breakfast/lunch. Check it out!“

“Best homemade ranch!!!!!!“

“The go to spot for breakfast is in downtown Sarasota“

“Muy buenooooo Excelente atención“

“Greeted by staff when entering and thanked on the way out. Table service is excellent. Drinks brought promptly. Questions answered in detail about the menu. Beautiful restaurant decor. Our meals were excellent. Give a shout out to the bacon cook. Perfection. Eggs cooked to our likens. You can pay at your table through your phone or at a register. Highly recommend an excellent experience. Personally I think tea and coffee over priced at &3.99.“

“Lunch and service consistently excellent. The place is small and no frills but deli sandwiches are excellent. Noodle salad and potato salad are great sides. They have daily specials. I see lots of people order soup. They run a friendly and efficient lunch spot. A hidden gem. Love to pick up and take to picnic by the water.“

“First time tonight and I LOVE this place! The owners and staff were friendly and gracious. I didn't eat, but the menu looked great. I'm excited to go to more events here!“

“I can’t hear just for my son to have an interview and I ended up sitting down and eating. The food was amazing. I never ate here before customer service was great. The atmosphere was relaxing kind of because I was there at the end of the day and even though I came in late, the food taste fresh and the hostess was very kind and was my server also and she was very kind even though I was there late the cooks seemed to not mind because the food was definitely fresh“

“Why 25 characters? Good food!“

“cheddar broccoli soup......“

“Love First Watch!! I never know what I'm going to eat when I go out, but the server made it much more easier on me. I ordered the avocado toast! Let me tell you that this is the best avottoast I have ever had! Hands down the best!

You can taste just how fresh the food is! I will be definitely be coming back again!“

“The service was amazing 🤩 I am a tough one when it comes to customer service especially because I’ve done it for over 23 years and from the moment I walked through the door a nice young lady named Carley greeted me immediately with a huge welcoming smile 😃 she seemed excited to be here. Carley seated me and alerted my waitress right away. My waitress an amazing energetic and polite young woman named Emily greeted me right away and took my drink order and was back in less than 5 minutes with my drinks. When I was ready to order she took my order and when it came out it was hot and fresh! Their version of the BLT and tomato Basil soup was amazing my compliments to the chef. The lavender lemonade was also To die for! I sat in this establishment for a bit over two hours just observing, and the team that was on duty were amazing. Everyone seem to be smiling and happy and they all were moving at a respectable rate. The customers all seem happy, and I even watched a few hug a few of them, waiters and waitresses. I’ll be back again and again!“

“We generally don’t eat at Panera because some of the other locations have been less than impressive in the past. On a whim, we decided to give this location a try and it was the BEST decision my fiancé and I have made recently! This Panera location ROCKS! Every member of the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their job. The food is insanely fresh, hot, and delicious, and they NEVER skimp on portions/ingredients! The menu items actually come out looking like they do in the advertisements - and they are loaded full of flavor. I recommend one of the new toasted baguette sandwiches; in particular, the Buffalo chicken is to die for! In addition to phenomenal food and service, the location is adorable and convenient; the outdoor seating is very cozy and inviting - you feel like you are eating in a garden. This is our new favorite casual dining spot to hit up at the UTC mall. Definitely check it out if you are in the area, you will certainly not regret it!“

“Ive Never had a bad experience here! I usually dont leave reviews, but figured i owed it! I wento KeKes in Sun City, for the 1st time, I didn't even know there was 1, and the food was So Awful, I almost wrote Kekes off:( To make it worse, the manager tried to fix it...the pancake and potatoes were raw...2nd time out i just kept it..but it still was not good:( My grandson's fries...Awful..they did like the tenders. And for such an awful experience, the manager could have been friendlier. He wasn't rude, I did not ask for a discount...but he gave me the indication that me asking would have led to an even Worse experience.
I said ALL of this in hopes that it keeps Cooper Creek in business! And Sun City respects an Honest review and does better“

“The food was delicious and the staff is very friendly and attentive! Definitely recommend!“

“Our server, Amber, was knowledgeable, professional and put the “S” in service. She made our time very enjoyable.“

“Best martinis ever….Stop by and see Henry!“

“One of the best Panera Bread locations I’ve ever visited! The café was extremely clean, well organized, and everything looked very well managed. The employees were professional, friendly, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.
The food was also excellent, the Chicken Wild Rice Soup and the Fuji Apple salad were both fresh and absolutely delicious.
Great service, great atmosphere, and great food. We will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“Come here quite often and it seems like the crew has changed quite a bit in these past months; it's a Panera bread nothing special but they have definitely changed things up in this specific location quite a bit where things are much better now.“
