“This little hideaway is fabulous. Everything is plant-based, although a carnivorous eater would not taste a difference. There is no wait and Carrie is very friendly and accommodating. Their acai bowls are fabulous with no added sugar. Their smashed avocado toast has REAL, PURE avocado, which is not mixed with anything. Their pure squeezed juices and shots are everything they should be, delicious, no added sugar, etc. Thank you, Carrie for the excellent food, service, and great "tasting bites".“
“Wow! This place is so VIBRANT! It's a vibe for sure. Beach and music décor covers the ceiling and walls from top to bottom--so much to look at! Even the outdoor seating area is colorful and refreshing. Staff was pleasant and attentive. The drink and food options were on-point. I grabbed a dirty chai and acai bowl. Both were delicious and I wish I ordered another chai to-go since I haven't had such a flavorful one in so long!“
“Love this little coffee shop! Great location off the main strip. The strip mall has a parking lot, and there are tables outside to enjoy some fresh air. We were thrilled to find that they are dog friendly and gave us a treat! The coffee was great and I loved the coconut flavoring!“
“I'm not kidding when I say this has been the best coffee we have ever had. The craftsmanship and quality of each drink and flavor is like no other coffee we have had! Besides being the best coffee we have had it has also been the nicest down to earth people we have met and so glad to say it is finally a good positive experience for us everyday going to see Gabi and Patrick. Our Daily drinks are the Blueberry Dream and New Orleans cold brew coffee which are dramatically different but equally amazing id order a flight to try all of them! Thanks for adding such a pleasant local place to Sarasota!Vegetarian options: They have all your milk preferencesParking: Easy little parking lot for all shops in the plazaKid-friendliness: Super nice People people welcome everyone (they have hot chocolate ;) )“
“We had a great first visit earlier this week and have returned two more times. The Italian Ice is outstanding and the owner is very friendly. He has board games built into the tables and giant Uno cards and more. Perfect for our extended family. We will be back ... and telling our friends to come as well. Easy access and dedicated parking in Gulf Gate“
“Absolutely love the matcha, so earthy and delicious! Mannie and Amanda have made me four different drinks so far, all of which I have loved. This coffee is so flavorful and perfectly roasted on its own that you don’t need sugar to mask any bitter or burned taste that you find at the chain cafes around here. Amanda has introduced me to oat milk and I’m loving that too.“
“My family had an amazing experience today at Jake’s. As a person with a lot of food allergies there is nothing more comforting then a place that invites conversation around individual dietary needs. From the signs posted letting you know to mention allergies, to checking ingredients, and taste testing-every moment made me feel safe to enjoy ice cream with my family. Thank you for all of your work to help make quality products that accommodate food allergies. Thank you for the kindness and passion that is clearly poured into every moment. It is the small moments that really make a difference and Jake’s is amazing at creating joy through small moments and interactions! Added bonus-the ice cream is beyond words good! So happy to have found this ice cream shop!“
“my wife and I stopped in to try this place while we were visiting down in Sarasota. hanging out at Coquina Beach. we saw this place on Fox 13 news with Charlie Belcher. I experience there was awesome very nice people nice location. waffle was amazing I had the one with all the berries. wife had an ice cream cone she enjoyed it very much. this place is definitely on our list for when we come down to visit down in that area. it's not that far from Riverview.“
“I was looking for a new coffee place that is not a chain, and I stumbled upon this little gem. The seating areas were nice. What was missing, music, but I see another reviewer said there was nice background music, maybe it wasn't working the day we went in. Hands down the best espresso I've had in the area. Absolutely smooth and no bitterness. I had an Americano my friend 2 cappuccinos, because the first one was so good. I was tempted to get another myself before leaving. This will defiantly be my go to for espresso's.“
“Great little spot to grab a mini donut or five. It was fun to watch as your donuts were made fresh in the window area. The only downside I have has nothing to do with the donut shop but the smell from the restaurants across the street…but it’s not a deal breaker.“
