“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.“

“I drive all the way to this place from Ellenton, I go to the gym next door so it’s a bit of a destination spot but it is what I have been doing for years now.. although recently I have only been coming during the week days when Cannon is working and I will touch on why.

This place has come a long way, the new owners are really making the place feel more welcoming and like a place to hangout and get some work down or after a workout instead of a kick in and out.. the store is warm and inviting, great music always playing and they’re starting to carry better and better product. I really really enjoy the new vibe and Cannon the day time employee, soo much so I won’t come after he’s not working because the smoothies and the employees just dont have the same personality and electric energy as Cannon who remembers me, my order, even learned to swap in my chia seed and milk substitute after my first order.. he’s soo friendly and sweet it feels wrong if he isn’t there during my now (admittedly) daily ritual the shakes just come out wrong entirely or watery. He’s super honest and personable, prideful in his work.. I can’t ever tell if he’s flirting or if he’s just this intimate personable surf dude who’s high on life but he’s always happy to see me, I genuinely appreciate his talks he’s very very well educated and prevents any extra fruit syrups or fad like products he thinks sketchy or useless going into my drink and helped me with my diet upon finding out I was going fully vegan. I popped in this Saturday on a whim and it just wasn’t the same, my smoothie came out watery, the vibe was off, I think they used non vegan, and the place seemed much more stern and lacked his charm, music taste, and presence speaking to customers like family and doing it all with ease. I would love to change to five out of five but the weekend crew and night just isn’t the same, 5 stars for Cannon’s alchemy alone! I’ll be back to get my shake always and my daily philosophical chat and pick me up.“

“The perfect choice for spending a day at the beach!“

“The best...great vines, best coffee, excellent service.. Il migliore...Ottimo caffe,gustosissimi e rinomati vini,servizio ai clienti impeccabile...“

“Great costumer service 🙂“

“We love this place!…the food and ambience are fantastic!, plus the service is first rate!…In fact we had the same server we had last May when we were here on vacation and she remembered us!, now that we will be living down here, definitely will be eating there a lot more!…If you want great home cooked food, with Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free options, this is the place to go!!!“

“Best burgers in the world. Indisputable truth.“

“Pane e Amore was by far the BEST Italian my husband and I have eaten! Portions are perfect, food was thoughtfully made to perfection! I could taste all the individual flavors in the rigatoni alla vodka! The owner/ chef exceeded our expectations and made us feel like family. This will be a forever place for us! Go in, request a table, and soak up the experience! Buon Appetito 🇮🇹🍝“

“Yummy food, cozy atmosphere. Great service!“

“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!“

“Very friendly wait staff, good food at the right price. A place where locals and visitors are all welcome. I had a big ole burger, side of fries and unsweet fresh ice tea…yummy.“

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

“The food is always consistent. The Tri Fecta is a go-to.“

“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.“

“My Fiancée and i just moved to the area and have been looking for a chill, kind environment to get lunch. Look no further than Sweet Deli Cafe! The atmosphere is lovely, taking you back to a time where you could tell people put real care into their craft. We will be coming back weekly!“

“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!“

“Great variety of good food and nice atmosphere ♥️“

“We stumbled upon Agrigento by Style Pizzeria Café just a few months ago after relocating back to Manatee County from a brief season in Nevada—and let me tell you, this little gem has become our new happy place! As a single mom raising three growing boys, finding a spot that satisfies everyone is no small feat. But Agrigento delivers—literally and figuratively. The pizza is next-level, with that perfect blend of crispy crust and gooey cheese that tastes like it was hand-crafted in a Sicilian kitchen. And don’t even get me started on the garlic knots… These are not your average knots. These are oversized pillows of buttery, garlicky heaven—I swear they were kneaded by angels. The house salad with that signature Italian dressing? A masterpiece. And speaking of masterpieces, let’s raise a glass of their smooth and sultry Montepulciano—a rare treat to find as a house wine in a casual café! Add in some authentic cannolis or a slice of limoncello cake, and you’ve got yourself the perfect ending to any meal. My personal favorite? The eggplant Parmesan garlic knot slider—the kind of creation that deserves its own Food Network spotlight. They even have a daily $10 lunch special with two slices and a drink, which is an absolute steal. And while you eat, you’re serenaded by music videos from the 80s and 90s—pure joy for this Gen Z momma with an old soul! Tucked away in a humble strip plaza on Manatee Avenue near our pediatrician’s office, this place is so good I might start hoping the kids catch a mild cold just so I don’t forget to stop by again. Agrigento, you’ve won our hearts (and stomachs). See you again soon—and often!“

“cheddar broccoli soup......“

“I have always loved going to this location. We have only ever had maybe one or two bad visits but the next one always makes up for it. Trinity was an amazing waitress today. She was so attentive. Even the manager came around twice to us to check on us.“

“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“

“Someone needs to give the manager and his staff a raise. They are some of the most kind, attentive food service workers I have encountered in quite some time. You don't even have to love Panera's food to enjoy your time at this location.“

“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!“

“Jeff is the best, great place to watch sports“
