“Best place to eat lunch in Sarasota. This is our family favorite! Even our kids love this place. Interesting, unique, but authentic French food. Soooo good! The owner is such a great person. She is always joyful and accommodating. Coffees, espressos, and pastries are out of this world! We love the soup or salad and sandwich combo. You should go now! Ooh-la-la!“
“Just found this place today while eating across the street at Tony's Chicago Beef and I'm glad I stopped in to check it out, these cookies are fantastic! Will definitely be back often. May have to gift some of these for the Holidays as well!“
“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!“
“I loved this little cafe right in downtown Sarasota I got flashbacks of Europe. The food is so good I loved the Hungarian style bread it’s absolutely incredible. The service was totally ?% they were always asking us if everything was ok and if we needed anything. I will definitely go back.“
“Delicious Gelato Experience!I recently had the pleasure of visiting the gelato go place on St.Armand's Circle in Sarasota, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic experience.The gelato itself was a true masterpiece. The flavors were incredibly rich and authentic, and you could tell that they used high-quality ingredients. I especially loved the unique and seasonal flavors they offered, which added a delightful twist to the traditional gelato experience, I have chosen chocolate, mango and pistachio.The Owners husband and wife are from Thailand, but gelato tastes very Italian:)). They were not only friendly but also very knowledgeable about the different flavors and were more than happy to give samples to try. Their passion for their craft really shone through, making the visit even more enjoyable.The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was impeccable. I couldn't resist taking a few photos of my gelato before digging in. Plus, they had a wide range of cakes, fruit salads, cookies, coffee, smoothies and gluten free options to choose from, allowing you to customize your treat to your heart's content.Overall, my visit to the gelato-go place on St.Armand's Circle was a memorable and delicious experience. Whether you're a gelato aficionado or just looking for a sweet treat, I highly recommend stopping by and savoring the flavors at this delightful establishment. You won't be disappointed!“
“I eat here weekly !! I don’t eat anywhere weekly But the food is not only delicious and different The presentation is a feast for your eyes And the waitstaff is equally as wonderful warm and welcoming I hesitate sharing Bc it feels like a best kept secret“
“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 :)“
“Such a cute and delicious breakfast spot! We split the quiche Lorraine and the bachamel croissant sandwich. She had a vanilla latte and I had a mocha. Both meals came out with a small side of fresh fruit which included raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, julienned apples soaked in a fresh and sweet fruit juice. The quiche was one of the best we’ve had anywhere, and the croissant sandwich was delicious and didn’t seem heavy, which we anticipated.We want to return soon to try their beautiful assortment of baked goods and treats.“
“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!“
“Lived in Ohio around Amish country.This location outside of Sarasota is the mirror image of the location in Bellevue Ohio.What a great place!Good was excellent and affordable.Staff was very attentive and friendly.Gift shop employees were very knowledgeable of the company and both areas in Ohio and Sarasota.I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone.We will be back!“
“every thing here is so perfect, they keep rverythibg clean and neat, the food and drinks are amazing the service is good they are kind abd welcoming i got the frozen lemonade and french toast donuts and theyput an extra donut on accident so whoever did that is my favorite person ever?“
“I have discovered this jem of a pie bakery about 6 years ago. Whenever I have visitors from out of state, I buy the Keylime pie to treat them to something unique and delicious. This is not your Publix, or even Detwiler’s Keylime pie. It’s absolutely the best( Better than the one on Key West that claims it is the best). It’s not overly sweet and has nice touch of tartness on top and the crust is lovely and all the flavors just go so well altogether. It’s not cheap, but it is worth it. I highly recommend it.“
“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.“
“The day before Easter at Paisano’s. As you can see there was plenty of selection, and the line shows you that everyone agrees that this is a terrific bakery. Everything was delicious and staff was very pleasant. I plan on returning here again and again!“
“Decide at the last minute to stop here to avoid some traffic and parking downtown. Wasn't sure if we wanted to stay because of the limited menu. We all had the quiche Lorraine which was amazing! So glad we stayed! It was fluffy and creamy and was an unexpected delight. It is a cute little French cafe. I really wanted to have a cappuccino and forgot to order it when we left so I will need to come back! A nice surprise.“
“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 “
“This place has absolutely turned into a weekly, sometimes daily, stop for us. It's that good. The scones are so good they can become a bit of a habit.Food: 5 StarsYou cannot go wrong with a bagel sandwich or a breakfast bowl. But you cannot leave without taking a scone, cinnamon roll, espresso cookie or any other bakery item they have in the deli case.Atmosphere: 5 StarsCozy space.Website: 5 StarsHours and menu are always up to date.Location: 5 StarsLocated downtown Venice surrounded by other cute local shops. Walkability is high if you need to work off that scone.Service: 5 StarsEven on the busiest days they servers have never failed to smile or greet you.“
“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 !!!“
“Just off the Siesta Key island and worth the short drive. Pleasant French owner and his son. Great and unique French pastries and sandwiches and lunch mains. Reasonable prices. VERY RECOMMENDEDParking: Strip mall parking, but several open spaces where the restaurant is.“
“My client John and I came here for lunch and I met the owner and some nice ladies. The entire staff and management was amazing ?Very friendly clean atmosphere and the price is very reasonable.. Thanks for making my first visit a great experience.“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“OMG! Cookies, pretzels, brownies, scones, and more. Everything we've had has been amazing. Watch for Doodles at local events like Fruitville Grove this October! We just picked up some amazing cinnamon apple donut bites that were outstanding.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Ok so there exterior marketing is a little cringe, but holly hell is the food good AND well priced.Chocolate donut was good, The donut itself was perfectly semi-sweet.For the entree I got brisket on top of pigtails, their term for spiral sliced potato deep fried. It was amazing and I could barely finish a third of it. I think it was like 12 bucks, I could totally see it. Feeding two really hungry people. Yeah“
“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.“
“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.“
“Loved our breakfast sandwiches from here! Don’t miss out on the delicious potato casserole. Food understandably might take a bit if they’re understaffed, since it’s all made fresh to order, but it’s more than worth it. Very friendly atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back on my next visit to Venice!“
“This bakery/Cafe is located at 5336 Clark Road in Sarasota, a little West of I-75 on the South side of the road. It is an Oasis in a world of bland baked products. Prices are understandably high though not as high as Expected. This is arefreshing getaway from Supermarket baked goods. Get there in the morning, because it is sparcely populated with pastries in the afternoon.“
“Today was our first visit not realising we were at the closing hour for a little after school treat so we weren't able to experience the atmosphere, but wow were given the greatest options 1 of everything. When told these are croissant like with layers of fluffiness, not a traditional cake or a typical donut...amazing. Thank you so much for treating our girls to something sweet, we will be back for the whole experience including your GF options with coffee.“
“This is such a cute macaron store in the circle. There are so many choices of macaron flavors, including some seasonal ones. There are French pastries, chocolates and gelato as well. The staff is always friendly and patient while you make your choices. There are cute macaron themed gifts such as keychains and shirts in bright and pastel colors. It's a must stop for us for dessert every time we are in the circle.“
“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.“
“I had a birthday party for my mom and ordered a cake from Corinna Gorczynski at CCSWEETS. The cake was so beautiful. What a talented artist! Everyone was so impressed with the cake and how real the flowers looked…we didn’t want to cut into it. From now on I will always order from CCSWEETS. Thank you, Corinna, for making my mom’s birthday so special and memorable for her! I can’t wait to try some of your other goodies!“
“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!“
“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.“
“This is my favorite Publix! Publix always keeps their stores clean and sceme to have friendly people working. Even though this may be a little bit of a smaller store, with a more limited selection. I love the people and find everything I need here. The staff is always smiling and so helpful. Not the biggest selection, but always quality selections.“
