So authentic an experience . Rude French service. Really felt like I was not wanted. Sorry I came back after finding the place closed on Monday.

What a delightful discovery! This charming, chef-owned French café instantly reminded me of home. As a French person, I truly cherish these hidden gems that offer real authentic cuisine and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
We enjoyed the homemade pâté (foie-gras style) served with warm, fresh baguette, absolutely delicious. The prosciutto, blue cheese, walnut, and tomato salad with its perfectly balanced vinaigrette was equally wonderful. We chose to sit on the patio, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The French owner came to greet us personally, which added such a warm touch. The staff was friendly, prompt, and attentive.
Everything we tasted was authentic and full of flavor.
A lovely experience from start to finish! We’ll definitely be returning very soon!

I had the salmon on a baguette. My vegetarian wife had many options to choose from. Pleasantly surprised.

This cafe is great. We loved our crepes and sandwiches. Best of all? The Dubai Crepe! It will melt in your mouth. Aiden was our server. He was polite and attentive to our table. A great young man. If you live in Sarasota you need to discover this cafe and give it a try!

So French Café is where Paris meets the dance floor! 🇫🇷✨ They bring authentic French cuisine right here, and every visit feels like a little trip to Paris. 🥐🥂— then the music starts, the Latin dance lessons kick in 💃🔥, and suddenly you’re living your best night out. This place has me hooked… can’t wait for the next fiesta! 🪩❤️

So French Café is truly a hidden gem in Sarasota, offering delightful food and drinks. One of the standout items on their menu is undoubtedly the croissant, which is arguably the best I've had in a long time. Flaky, buttery, and perfectly baked, it’s a must-try for any pastry lover.

Additionally, the Chocolate Dubai Espresso Martini is a fantastic twist on the classic cocktail. Rich and indulgent, it perfectly balances the bold flavors of espresso with a hint of sweetness, making it a great choice for a sophisticated drink.

The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make for a wonderful dining experience. Whether you're there for a leisurely brunch or a quick coffee break, So French Café is sure to impress. Highly recommended!

Stopped by mid afternoon on Saturday. Both my wife and I had a Sweet Crepe. Half way through mine I discovered a long black hair with turned me off. It was taken by staff ( 1 counter lady then pulled her hair up.) manager came by and said they have no idea how it got there as it was to long to belong to anyone working there. We were not offered a discount or that crepe for free( only ate half of it.) Bill was just the total on the remote card reader. Needless to say we won’t be going back.

First I should mention that I am French and I know a good croissant when I taste one. The croissants at So French are the best in the Sarasota /Bradenton area. The crepes are as good as any you would eat in Bretagne. In short if you want to taste what good French cuisine is like at a reasonable price this is your place.The baked goods are fresh and prepared by the owners daily. The owner is a very good pâtissière and has an assortment of desserts also available for take out. I highly recommend this cafe.
