“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. ❤️“

“Great little hidden gem in Downtown Sarasota. Great coffee and customer service ☕️“

“Cutest spot to grab a coffee and relax!“

“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!“

“The best ice cream in Florida! Generous portions, friendly staff and a wonderful location. You can sit inside or outside, both are fun. Can't wait to go back, yummy!!!“

“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?!? 🙏🏼🤎“

“Very cool space! Great Ramen!“

“I gave been to playa bowl over 10 times and my experience today was not good. The staff today was not very welcoming. If the owners were there today when I went they sure were not friendly. I told the cashier no coconuts and they put some in, then she says you want a lid and I said well yea, it’s to go. She didn’t even put them in a bag. I always buy the Nutella one and I always buy 2. All the other times I had no problems great staff and friendly.“

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

“This is a wonderful German bakery! I had a poppyseed roll, pretzel, and an Easter bread. Everything was delicious, very friendly place to visit. The line is out the door.“

“Fast, friendly, cheap, high quality, tasty, healthy treats, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, soup and salad too.“

“all around the best around“

“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“

“Great coffee, great service, and they let me hang my art! :)“

“Our desserts were the absolute best.“

“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!“

“One of the baristas always recognizes me and we chat briefly if he isn’t too busy.“

“This coffee shop is a true gem! The coffee is absolutely amazing – rich, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality beans. And the food? Don't even get me started! Everything I've tried has been delicious. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible customer service. The staff is so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers. I highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for delicious coffee, fantastic food, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. You won't be disappointed!“

“The coffees, pastries and breakfast sandwichs are very good. The staff is amazing. They are quick, courteous, accurate and extremely pleasant no matter how busy they are. The staff at all of Captain Curt's businesses are awesome. Kudos to the HR person(s).“

“Probably the first Dunkin I go to around Sarasota County that is clean and well decorated inside. It was so cute and cozy inside. Looked pretty clean as well. Liked the decoration they had up for Valentine’s Day. The staff did look a bit out of it but the place made up for it. Understand not everyone is happy all the time.“

“I will drive out of my way just to come to this starbucks. The team that works here is the best. They know me by name now because i do go frequently. No matter if I go into the store or drive thru my iced espresso is always on point and love all the workers! This my favorite store. “

“Amazing french restaurant and bakery. I recommend“

“amazing selection of Artisan cheeses and pantry items. Everything on their kitchen menu is amazing. Always see smiling faces here!“

“11/2024 Simon’s son Tyler and his wife Maya have bought Simon’s and they have a new plant-based menu. Fabulous. ——- 2024 We’ve been coming to Simon’s for many years, often 3-4 times a week. Love their food but recently a few of the waitresses have told me that the granola contains honey, despite being marked vegan on the menu. They have no plans to change the menu markings. There have been other mixups as well with regular cheese vs. vegan cheese and whether specials are fully vegan. Most of the wait staff are terrific at knowing what’s what. Just ask questions. Love the food, love the people, not a fan of having accidentally eaten honey. Updated from previous review on 2024-04-25“

“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.“

“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 !!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is the best Starbucks I have ever visited. The customer service I experienced this morning was beyond incredible. I usually bring my German Shepherd through the drive-thru once a week for a pup cup. Tragically, I have to put him down tomorrow, so I came today for one last pup cup. When I asked if I could pay extra for a bigger pup cup, they insisted on giving it to me for free. They also gave me a free Trenta-sized drink and a chocolate dessert for him too. The employees were so kind and compassionate that it brought me to tears. Their empathy in such a difficult moment means more to me than words can express. I want to deeply praise every single person working this morning and ensure their kindness doesn't go unrecognized. I will forever be grateful and will always come back to this Starbucks. ❤️“

“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 “

“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!“

“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!“

“Very good food! Love the atmosphere! The waitress ashley was very nice. I highly recommend the green zebra cafe“
