“Just had my first visit to Hashtag Cafe in Sarasota, and I'm already counting down the minutes until I can go back! This isn't your average coffee shop; it's a unique blend of Moroccan and German influences that creates a truly special atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, the owner made me feel incredibly welcome – a truly pleasant start to my morning. The menu is an exciting array of coffee and tea options, promising something for every palate. But let's talk about the homemade pastries... absolutely divine! I highly recommend the spinach and cheese pastry; it was truly to die for – flaky, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. It's not every day you stumble upon a place like Hashtag Cafe. This hidden gem offers a warm, inviting ambiance and a delicious taste of something different. Super happy I discovered this spot and can't wait to explore more of their offerings. If you're in Sarasota, do yourself a favor and check out Hashtag Cafe – you won't be disappointed!“

“The coffee is exceptional! The atmosphere is very welcoming. I love it here. 💖💖💖“

“There are several good coffee places in Sarasota, but this one is the best. The friendly warm couple who run this shop treat you like family, and offer a non-sugar, non-artificial vanilla ice coffee that competitors do not offer.“

“Quaint, personable and delicious. Spending the day here while in town for business. Great location that highlights the Sarasota vibe.“

“The tea house was charming with a different t theme in every room. Service was fabulous, food was delicious, and we were served a lovely ginger licorice lemongrass tea at the end . We sat in the Alice in Wonderland room which we all loved! A special thank you to the owners for meeting our special dietary needs, for taking countless pictures for us and for making our experience one of the best!“

“My husband works in Gulf Gate, just a few storefronts down from Clever Cup, and we have been getting coffee from here since they have opened. I can honestly say that I have NEVER had a bad experience and the coffee and baked goods are always delicious! The baristas are amazing and although we probably shouldn't have favorites, I simply adore Veronika and Karissa. The two of them are always ready with a smile, a cheerful, 'Good Morning!' and even if I've had an icky start to my day, the two of them are always able to brighten my mood and I wind up walking out with delicious coffee and a smile. We love to shop local and this is one of the places we will ALWAYS support. Thanks, Clever Cup, we love you! 🥰“

“First I want to start by saying I am not easily impressed but every now & then the Universe will grant us an inside look at how things could be when we operate in LOVE & gratitude. I had to have my new car serviced & had a less than pleasant experience at the dealership. It threw me into a less than desirable energy. It affected me. My partner suggested to “let’s take a walk down the street and grab some coffee” (probably to calm me down). When we got to the coffee shop he looked up it was closed. The lights were off & we didn’t see anyone in there nonetheless he grab the door to see if it would open (it didn’t). I was upset that we now walked down a busy street (me wearing wedges) to get coffee and the place was closed. I started walking off when out of nowhere the door opens to the coffee shop & the most friendly face peaked out & said “We are closed but I can’t let you leave disappointed, come in & I will serve you”. I was in disbelief. The shop was clean, the lights were off and this man opened his shop JUST FOR US. He goes on to tell us that he is the owner of the shop and his employees had already left and that he hasn’t fixed coffee in over ten years but he was going to take our order anyway. He proceeded to make us our desired coffee (all 4 orders were specialty orders-not regular coffee) …. All 4 of us couldn’t believe it & to make it even more beautiful, all 4 of us said it was THE BEST COFFEE we had ever had….. seriously, hands down and there isn’t even a close second…. The coffee was AMAZING. He allowed us to come into his shop after he had already closed it down, dirtied it up for us, allowed us to sit inside and drink our coffee AND conversed with us for a good half hour, telling us of his bad car dealership experiences, his wife and just joking with us. Had a smile on his face THE ENTIRE TIME while making our coffee and talking to us. His name is Rami. He is the owner of Compa Craft Coffee & Cocktails & also owns the pizza place across from it (I believe it is called Origins). My takeaway- it only takes ONE PERSON, one energy to affect many. I went in there with a negative energy & left with a life lesson, a living, breathing example of how LOVE can change the masses and the best coffee I have ever had my entire life. THIS human is what I aspire to be and his energy is what I aspire to encompass. Rami changed 4 lives with only a smile & a giving heart and doesn’t even know it. ❤️“

“Run, don’t walk if you want the best Breakfast in Sarasota…. Nice people, AMAZING food !!!“

“Absolutely the BEST ice cream around. As a family we drive an hour nearly every week to eat Jake's ice cream...YES, it's that good! Incredibly kind owner and staff as well, this place is a must visit if in the Sarasota area (and beyond!) Once you've tasted Jake's ice cream it's hard to ever eat anything else, he's raising the standards for homemade ice cream with every flavor - although we all have our favorites we've never tried one we didn't like!! (My personal favorite is Salty Turtle)“

“Awesome experience. Amazing ice cream! Highly recommend for all!“

“As an unabashed "coffee snob", I take my bean juice seriously and have roasted my own green coffee beans for the past 5 years-ish. Tragically, I failed to monitor my "green" back-stock, ran out and learned this morning that my order wouldn't arrive until next week ?. In a panic I searched local roasters, found this place, bought some Ethiopian whole bean (roasted 1 day earlier) and got my espresso fix by 7:30am. It was delicious. Validation for me after dumping Starbucks years ago that FRESH ROAST MATTERS. Thank you BGCR for being there when I needed the real deal.
~Peace and love~“

“The flavor of their spices is wonderful. Far exceeds the regular brands. I highly recommend their products.“

“I frequent the Lafayette, LA location and have tried a variety of things and have never been disappointed. Juices are so delicious as are the bowls. My favorite treat.“

“amazing food. very affordable pricing. I consider this place a favorite of mine to go.“

“Fabulous local cafe in downtown Sarasota located on Main St. near Lemon Ave! I started coming here around 10 years ago when Starbucks closed for renovations so this was my morning go to place on my bus layover and I’ve been a patron ever since. Although it’s changed hands a couple of times they’ve always had a very friendly staff and wonderful daily made pastry’s and treats…the coffee is great as well! If you’re downtown I highly suggest trying them out!“

“Great team and some of the friendliest people I've ever met! Love the crew at Derek Ave“

“Absolutely outstanding dinning experience the Gyro platter was the best flavor structured food in a long time. Great work from Paul and his team. Great to watch them hustle.“

“I'm always craving a good cup of coffee ☕ Today I chose to step into Kahwa to escape the heat. I usually aim for a hot coffee but seeing two draft options I entertained my curiosity... I learned that they have two cold brews on tap. Making the decision between cold brew and nitro cold brew seemed indifferent. Fortunately Liv was on duty and offered me a sample! Boy was that a blessing. I was able to make my decision with some understanding of my options. Not only was the services amazing the artwork displayed was breathtaking! I'm definitely coming back soon ?

Oh before I forget the cold brew was rich in flavor unlike your run of the mill starbs or something iced coffee!“

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

“Very convenient. Efficient staff. Delicious food.“

“Great people. Great coffee. Make the stop!“

“Best croissant breakfast sandwiches ever! This coffee shop is so good! We LOVE Captain Curt’s Restaurant and this coffee shop is such a wonderful addition! Hayley, Russell, and Alexis are very friendly and they all make awesome lattes!!! The pastries and drinks are excellent!“

“This Dunkins has superb A-1 service. The lobby and restroom were super clean. Ms. Kyleigha and Ms. Donatello were extremely friendly and helpful and the donuts as well as my iced coffee tasted so good and fresh. I would give this Dunkins a 10 star if possible. Definitely recommend.“

“Fabulous! Love! What a treat! I am a vegetarian and I am gluten free, this was the best meal out I have had since moving to the area! Yum! Thank you! Professional and polite staff!“

“We love going for coffee and donuts. Now that it’s warming up I tried the donut sundae! Yum! Taking my love for ice cream to the next level with a warm donut! 🍩“

“I wish I'd used the app and had a record of the barista I had today, because in addition to helping me through a rather convoluted order (I was trying to use the secret menu for a frappe but the recipe wasn't there so we had to kind of guesstimate it), dealing with an unorthodox payment method, but he also learned through conversation with me that I'd run to the Starbucks and didn't have sunscreen, and he offered his without missing a beat. So besides him just being an excellent person, it impressed on me that this Starbucks location and possibly the corporate culture somewhat has employees comfortable enough to be themselves at work, be personable with their customers, and relaxed enough to handle their job with ease and take time for friendly banter. It was a great experience overall I'm very happy I went here.

Parking: It is part of a larger shopping center, conjoined to a restaurant, so there appears to be many spots.“

“Although this place is not exclusively vegan, they have some of the best vegan food I have had in a while and everything was very clearly marked. It was hard to decide what to order—so many options to choose from! We ended up ordering the Bollywood handheld and the Farmer skillet (with tofu scramble). Added the vegan cinnamon roll to the skillet plate for a small upcharge, and got the golden milk latte with oat milk. Everything was delicious! Beautiful food and lovely staff. I enjoyed the homemade hot sauce so much I purchased a bottle for home. I regret not taking more pics of the food but will share a pic of the cinnamon roll and latte. I am already looking forward to the next time! Definitely recommend!“

“Always a great experience when visiting Parlor. Wonderful staff, clean environment and very delicious.“

“Absolutely one of the best markets in Sarasota! Loved this place while vacationing, and now we live here! Can’t say enough good about it. Tremendous meat/seafood department. Bravo Morton’s!“

“tiger sugar tea is so good!“

“5 stars all the way! Had the specialty blueberry pancakes with lavender lemon ricotta. Delish! Also our server was fantastic and asked us right up front for everything we needed (though she was never out of earshot I think). cute space and great experience! will go back next time I’m in “

“This is my home Starbucks so I always go to it. The employees have always been awesome and have always gone out of the way to make me feel special by doing things like remembering my name. Today I had an experience that reminded me just how special this Starbucks is. As I pulled out my wallet to pay, I unknowingly dropped a 20 dollar bill on the ground. I was lucky that the lady behind me noticed and she picked it up and handed it back to me. This was very kind of her and being a poor college student I can use every dollar I got. I didn't really know what to do repay her other than say thank you. The employee who was ringing up the lady gave Her free drink on the house. I thought that was incredibly cool and I was grateful that Starbucks could help me show my thanks. Just another sample of how amazing my home Starbucks is!“

“Likely the best atmosphere Starbucks of the Sarasota Area.... It is very high on cleanliness as well.

...but for some reasons all SWEETENERS are hidden behind the counter.

What a strange way to cut down on expenses ?

Espresso is served without drip plate.“

“This is one of the friendliest and most courteous Starbucks locations I’ve ever visited!\n\nI’m staying in Lido Key for two months and was initially disappointed to see the St. Armand’s Circle store temporarily closed. That meant finding another nearby Starbucks—and I’m so glad I found this one and will continue to go out of my way to visit.\n\nThe team here is incredibly organized, friendly, and efficient. They serve a high volume of customers with such passion and dedication—it’s clear that this level of service starts at the top and extends to every team member.\n\nOn just my second visit, I walked in and was warmly greeted by Leslie—who not only remembered my name but also asked if I wanted my usual short black dark roast! I was beyond impressed and continue to feel genuinely valued every time I visit, whether in-store or at the drive-thru.\n\nA huge THANK YOU to the entire team for making each visit such a positive start to my day. You’re all amazing, and your efforts are truly appreciated!“

“My sister and I came in for coffee and a Bialy and everything was so good! Service was friendly and the inside of the establishment was super unique! I had the bacon egg and cheese bialy on the cheese bialy and I would recommend to anyone! Overall a great experience and would come again!“

“We are lucky to call Wow Wow Lemonade our neighbor. It's always a treat to go next door to get a refreshing lemonade throughout the day. We HIGHLY recommend you try them out!“

“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 !!!“

“Enjoyed dinner at Green Zebra tonight. Fabulous selection of menu entrees. Our party of 6 (plus 2 grandchildren) enjoyed several dishes including Barramundi, Short Ribs and Smoked Weygu beef w/portobello mushrooms paired with a variety of delicious wines….. we will be back for sure!“

“My family and I spent the afternoon at this pleasant ice cream shop. In addition to the excellent quality of the ice cream, the service was fantastic, including the pets. This filled me with joy.“
