Palma is a top tier coffee shop that offers high quality coffee brewed by legit baristas. The…read morelocation is pretty nice for a strip center as it's tucked away with some nice outdoor seating. The interior of the shop is warm and cozy. The real reason to visit Palma is to sample high end coffee that is brewed the right way. They will coax flavors out of the beans that you won't find at 99% of coffee shops out there. Highly recommended.

The barista who helped me spent time talking with me about matcha (my love language!) and you could tell he really cared about making it right. That kind of attention and passion is rare and so appreciated. I sat outside and loved the the wall mural. It''s the perfect spot to just relax and sip. The shop itself was super clean, and I'm one of those people who always checks the bathroom... happy to report it was spotless. All around, a fantastic coffee experience. Highly recommend!

We looked at each other and I received a wink. We exited to our favorite Bagel shop and made our way down Beneva to Bagels and Brew. We made the right call. Even though we were right next to a competitor, we were rewarded to the best bagels in town, Bagels and Brew. It was crowded but worth the wait. My wife had her tried and true, plain Bagel, lightly toasted, with Lox Spread. I tried the Western Breakfast on an everything Bagel. Thank you, Bagels and Brew for bringing authentic Bagels to Sarasota.

They have very cozy indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly and engaging staff. The owner was present and happy to chat with us with helpful tips about visiting the area. You can tell she takes a lot of pride in her business and the quality of product they deliver. In addition to caffeinated beverages and bakery items, they have an impressive menu of sandwiches and lunch items. We kept things simple by ordering an iced cafe mocha, a dark roast coffee, and a chocolate croissant. You can tell they use high quality ingredients since the iced cafe mocha had chocolate flakes in them, but somehow managed to accent the beverage perfectly without making it too sweet. The chocolate croissant tasted absolutely delicious and had a wonderful chocolate filling inside unlike most traditional recipes...we both agreed it was great and tasty. The owner mentioned she gets her croissants from Europe and does the filling and final baking on premises to serve it hot. I'm not aware of any bakeries that go to all that trouble, but it makes for a high quality product. All in all, an excellent coffee and pastry experience at By The Bay Bistro...it's a place I hope to return to and would recommend to others visiting the Venice, Florida area.
