“Food was great,but...The napkins were the worst smelling napkins I've ever come across,they literally smelled like a hospital gown“

“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!“

“My favorite place to hang out downtown. Huge patio. Great place for people and car watching. Friendly people. Counter service, so you can grab a paper and relax at your table without interruption. I’m a particular fan of the egg sandwich on bagel. Yum. Great coffees.“

“We love Katie’s Cafe. Our dog Daisy loves when we take her there to eat breakfast at their outdoor tables. They are all so nice and friendly. The food is excellent. Our weekly family breakfast outing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I Love this Place! I just discovered that it was here last week when someone told me about it. I went by on my lunch break and had a ham and cheese croissant and an iced coffee. It was delicious! I would normally go to Starbucks, but I must say the difference in the quality of food is night and day. This croissant was fresh. I liked it so much. I went by the next day as well and had a prosciutto tomato and cheese sandwich, with a Nutella iced coffee, and it was excellent! What a Gem of a place! I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants a lite selection of quick service food and a a delicious French coffee! I will be back many more times!“

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

“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!“

“This restaurant is ABSOLUTELY amazing!! The food is soooo good (and original) and the service is top notch. From the beautiful smile and warmth that we were greeted to by Marilyn, to the friendly and phenomenal service by Lauren, and to the wonderful conversation and love exuding from the owner Suzanne…this place is a GEM. We were so blessed to come here for Easter brunch. Looking forward to (ALWAYS) coming back in the future!!“

“A fantastic place to grab delicious food & drinks! The Raspberry Cream Lotus is my favorite! The owners are WONDERFUL, GODLY people!! It's a must visit! :)“

“Muy buenooooo Excelente atención“

“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!“

“Why 25 characters? Good food!“

“We've been coming to first watch once a week for 3 years and last week we had the pleasure of having Alyssa as our server. everyone is always great and friendly but Alyssa was hands down the best server we've ever had. The food came out fast and she anticipated all sorts of things for my one year old that made the experience so much better. the food is great and better at this location than any other and the servers are all fantastic.“

“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“

“For me, good place to visit sporadically. Not really a place I would go regularly. Their menu is more eclectic and leaning trendy than traditional. Good for when you're feeling curious and are ok with experimenting with your breakfast, or when you're feeling like mixing up your traditional dishes with kale or avocado whatevers. Prices are on the somewhat higher side but nothing that would break the bank.“

“Had lunch at Maximillian’s Cafe and honestly it was so good. The sandwiches were delicious, packed with a ton of filling, and the portions were way bigger than expected for the price. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and the bread was really good too. Cozy little spot with a nice atmosphere for lunch. Definitely coming back again! 🥪🌻“

“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!“

“Just want to say thank you to Crystal and the friendly staff at this Panera. I forgot what they call it the box I don’t know, but we really enjoyed coming there. On our way to Costco and as you remember, we called it the best digital coffee. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and the and it’s very clean. We really appreciate it. Thank you so much.“

“So we went twice in a week on vacation everyone at the table was very pleased with the service and food. Their biscuits and gravy are ok but I prefer more sausage. But the works omelet was amazing. The avocado toast was a hit and you have to try the potatoes. We will be back.“

“Food is great. I love the kale roasted carrot salad for breakfast!! So good“

“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!“

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

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

“This is one of my favs now....2nd time, different location and it hasn't disappointed. The food is very good, just the way you order it. Service is friendly, quick, and pleasant. Definitely a keeper, if you haven't tried, go do so... you won't be disappointed.“

“cheddar broccoli soup......“

“Hands down, the best coffee I have ever had! It’s been months and I’m still thinking about it. What’s it going to take to get you guys up in Northern Virginia?!? 🙏🏼🤎“

“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.“

“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!“

“Finally opened! Shopping in the area and needed food. We stopped in and it was pretty busy. There are kiosk to order on or you can order at the counter. (If you order at the counter you will be tempted by desserts).

I had the pick 2....French onion soup and a creamy balsamic salad. I wish there soup was just a tad hotter.....but my meal perfect portion. My husband ordered a spicy chicken dipper that came with tomato soup for dunking. He wasn't sure of the combo at first but he loved it.

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

4/2026 Chicken rice soup was perfect on a cool Florida day!“

“Great efficient service here. I ordered a you pick two with apple something salad and the upgraded tomato soup. Love the new it seems as if it has more of a tomato base than a green base. My friend ordered a smaller version of the You pick two which is a cool option. She ordered a chicken salad sandwich and a delicious tomato soup each of the items with two selections comes with a side automatically, a delicious baguette, but I’m always careful to ask for the Apple.
