Very cute and tiny French brunch restaurant. The server was lovely and very nice. I loved the ambiance and vibe. However, it was pricey for what it was. I ordered a latte and kinda got a cappuccino with bad foam instead which was fine but the espresso didnt taste great either. I got the egg cocotte and it was tasty, but the flavor got monotonous quickly. My fiancé ordered a couple of over easy eggs but got scrambled eggs instead. We were too hungry to ask them to re-do it so we just politely ate it. Id come back if I lived in this area, but as a visitor, I can't recommend this place to a friend. read more

Blvd Cafe - Braided Brioche French Toast - Cafes Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

If you're looking for the kind of breakfast spot that feels like a true European café--where you're welcomed, not rushed--this is it. The Eggs Benedict are exceptional: perfectly poached eggs with a rich, balanced hollandaise and ideal texture throughout. The macchiato is dialed in--smooth, properly extracted, and beautifully presented. The breakfast potatoes are outstanding: crisp on the outside, tender inside, and seasoned exactly right. The Croque Monsieur is superb--deeply savory, layered, and indulgent without being heavy. The bacon, egg, and cheddar sandwich hits every note you want in a classic breakfast sandwich, elevated with quality ingredients and execution. The brioche French toast is decadent yet refined, and the pastries are consistently excellent--fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. The atmosphere has a relaxed, cool vibe--stylish but comfortable. Service is attentive, warm, and professional, more in the spirit of a European café where you're invited to linger and enjoy rather than being hurried out the door. As locals, this is hands-down our favorite breakfast and brunch spot. Consistently outstanding. read more

What a delightful breakfast spot! The cafe itself is charming with marble tables and cafe chairs. It is really pretty inside and the outside service is lovely too. The food is fabulous. The lady who runs it and does the cooking is superb. I had truly the best scrambled eggs I have ever had and my husband's breakfast sandwich was totally delicious. The muffins are terrific too. Could not recommend this great place more highly. It is a great way to start the day! read more

Nice cafe with outdoor seats. Well labeled foods for my dietary restrictions. Friendly staff

Literally the best waffles I have ever had!!! Can't even put into words how decadent they were. Gently Crisp exterior with sweet delicious fluffy inside. They were so magnificent you could annoy without any syrup and they'd still be amazing. These came with fresh berries and I ordered a side of bacon which was basic as expected. The sausage egg and cheese on brioche was outstanding. Hand crafted sausage patty that was as thick as a giant burger. It was so tasty and rich. The portion was generous and let's not forget the house made potatoes. So yummy!!!!!! This restaurant was a great find. Shady siding outside, nice Neighbrohood, outstanding service with friendly waiter. I asked if they had chocolate milk. Thursday did not but he insisted on making it from scratch. What a pain it must have been but he was determined to give me my first choice of beverage. It was delicious. Lots of people dining at tables near us were locals unlike us. The singer form the jazz club we went to last night was there with his partner. Such a friendly vibe all around. Would highly recommend read more

Loved our experience here! The inside is small and the tables are all two tops as it's a cafe. The staff was so accommodating with us as a group of 6 letting us put tables together & helped us get situated. They were so friendly and our waitress and the chef remembered us each time we came in during our trip. From breakfast to lunch everyone left more than satisfied! The coffee was great. Our top favorites were the croque monsieur, Maine lobster omelette, & French toast. Don't miss the daily specials & soups too! read more

I stumbled into this cute locally owned cafe when staying in the area and wow was I impressed. From the politeness of the staff, the tasty coffee and food but also the owner herself was present. If you are in the area stop in for a fantastic cup of coffee and a meal. I purchased the Chèvre Frittata which does take about 20 minutes to cook but it was well worth the wait!! I will absolutely be back! read more

Not worth it. Came here looking for a new breakfast spot over the summer. The inside was clean. Service was alright. But the food itself was just okay and not worth what we paid. I would not recommend. read more

I liked my Croque Madame My expectations for my first visit to Blvd Café were high. While those were not quite reached, I can say my Croque Madame was really good, the cheese abundant and flavorful, the egg on top made it an attractive breakfast. The one thin slice of ham was fine, I have vacationed in France and that is how I remember it done. That it took over 25 minutes from the time I ordered it until I got it was too long. Keeping with the food, it comes with French fries but we were able to substitute with their potatoes. My wife was looking for a healthier side and that wasn't it, just deep fried potato in a different shape. She did ask about a small salad, which she could have gotten but would have come with a $4 upcharge. In Europe having a little salad on the same plate is quite common, so this varied from that. Prices were already a bit high at around $17. I say around because they assess a 4% fee if you use a credit card, so the bill has both a cash and a credit total. Anyway, that encourages people to pay cash, as we did. I liked the French music playing in the background. Blvd Café is a small place, small tables inside either separate or combined to seat more people. They also have a few tables outside where I watched happy diners and dogs interacting. read more

Blvd Cafe - Croque Madame - Cafes Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Yay! My family loves a cute little breakfast place and this breakfast place is the place for us! As a queer family who doesn't see many other families like us in Sarasota, we were overjoyed to accidentally find this LGBT owned place while visiting some family nearby. When we arrived, both of my kids were hangry and freaking out. We were greeted by one of the owners who was super lovely and super patient with our miserable kids. We ordered some pastries, including a chocolate croissant, a gluten free blueberry muffin and a chocolate muffin to calm the small humans and then got the traditional breakfast for me and a smoked salmon bagel for my wife. Everything was fresh, hot, quick to arrive and tasty! My 4 year old ate half my breakfast and then ordered an extra side of potatoes and bacon, which is rare for him, so you know he enjoyed the food. We also loved that there was seating inside and outside. The space was roomy and even the bathroom was huge! We'd definitely come back here! read more

Great little cafe at the corner of Orange and Blvd of the Arts. The chef does an amazing job with pastries, omelet, specialty coffee, and the breakfast potatoes are to die for! read more

Really cute place with nice atmosphere. I had eggs Benedict which typically I love.. however the English muffin wasn't great and it was cold. Tad bit on the pricey side. Service average probably won't return. read more

Ample and wonderful parking nearby and no charge in Sarasota. (smile) The building and restaurant are crispy new and the inside is operating room quality clean and sanitary. Very well equipped. Various good quality coffees including decaf with Oat Milk and Dairy creams and milks. Endless water that was cold and refreshing. This was a great first visit and we enjoyed the magnificent service, seating and the other diners seemed to be regulars and very happy. A few mis-steps that can easily be addressed but a good experience here for sure. We (wife & I) went with the special Eggs Benedict w/ham and Eggs Benedict Florentine w/ home-style potatoes and 'split" them one each. Our eggs were yoke firm 50% overcooked. The ham was okay, more like a thin sliced lunch-meat - a few thicker sliced Canadian bacon slices would have been heartier and more flavorful? The Hollandaise sauce was fairly bland and flavorless. Maybe the most obvious dislike was the 'English muffin' was very dense and tough. Possibly thawed and it was difficult to cut even with a knife and chewy. Slight toasted might have made this better. Not horrible, just not great or exceptional. My daughter went for the Apple smoked bacon cheddar cheese on a brioche bun/roll with home-style potatoes. She enjoyed it and gave it good marks. Eggs cooked properly and potatoes cooked well and with a slight crisp - perfect. The roll was over toasted (a trace burned) on the top, but ok. To summarize, great place/facility, fantastic service and staff, the ambiance and fellow diners were cheery and happy, and the food was good and does warrant a return trip in the future. (OR your first visit!!! (smile)) read more

A cute and functional cafe. I order The Mark omelette, ham and pepper jack cheese, with a salad. The best omelette and fresh salad I've had since my trip to Europe. The pastries and macrons were delish. Service was amazing and we arrived at 1:30pm (they close at 2pm) . We met Mica and chatted for a bit. Our new favorite bfast/brunch place. You will not be disappointed. read more

The french toast is the best French toast I've ever had, atmosphere was good and all the food tastes amazing.

By far one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Who knew that scrambled eggs and cheese could be that incredible. My son and I ordered the same thing, scrambled cheese with eggs, breakfast potatoes and sausage patties and we shared the French toast. Those eggs were so moist and tasty. I am still wondering how eggs can be that good. I had a few bites and said to my husband, these eggs are so good. My son was in total agreement. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I don't eat pork sausage so I passed those off to my husband. The French toast...oh man! It is so thick but so fluffy. The cinnamon flavor is powerful which I really enjoyed. And the fresh fruit on the top is a perfect compliment to it all. We got up the next day and both my son and I wanted so badly to go back for round two of breakfast but couldn't make it work in our schedule. This is a definite must go to restaurant. FANTASTIC! read more

Atmosphere was very small and crammed, waitress had negative energy and was not welcoming. When we kindly asked to split a plate she said it was a seven dollar up charge, even if we ate on the same plate. Terrible marketing, and great way to drive away customers. read more

Nice little relaxing cafe...I got the Applewood bacon, cheddar, egg sandwich on an everything bagel...The bagels are shipped here directly from NY...Sandwich was fine...The homefries were very tasty and had a unique fry-like yet light texture....The only disappointing thing was the serving was very small...It was more for like a small child not a 220+ grown man....The workers were very friendly and I had some nice conversations with them.....Food was a little pricey for what I got but it is Sarasota I guess. read more

I went to this cafe and was treated like I was invisible. Two tables that came in after me were greeted and served coffee, while I was completely ignored. After that I left. I went there by myself for breakfast and sat there alone waiting to be acknowledged. It was an awful experience, especially for someone with anxiety. I was trying to go out and be comfortable doing things on my own. I felt humiliated. read more

Went to a cute little restaurant for breakfast the other day and let me tell you, the food was PHENOMENAL i had the smoked salmon cream cheese bagel and my fiance had the french toast.

This is by far my favorite lunch/ brunch spot in Sarasota. Chef and owner Mica England, is amazing! From the chicken salad pesto in a croissant, their homemade soups and fabulous pastries, omg! This place is impressive. The food is delicious; everything I've had in the menu has been delicious. The ingredients are fresh and everything is made in house. The amount of work and love put into this food is unbelievable. I highly recommend the Blvd Cafe. The chef knows what's up! So amazing! read more

They have a wide variety of gluten free baked goods (the most I've seen at a bakery). I tried their pumpkin GF muffin with a cream cheese frosting and it was absolutely amazing. read more

This cute little cafe definitely earns the 5 star rating. My only regret is not trying this place sooner but this will definitely be a regular spot for us. There was a jazz singer outside which was nice but we sat inside to stay cool. Joshua was the only server but he is definitely a pro. He was kind and calm and took great care of us. I do believe the cook may be the owner and man does that woman know what she was doing. Everything smelled phenomenal. I smelled my breakfast long before I saw it. I had the braided brioche French toast and a side of scrambled eggs with cheese to break up the sweetness. We tried my eggs first and they were light and flavorful. So good. The braided French toast. Omg. Not too sweet, not too heavy but the absolute perfect flavors married together along with some very fresh and perfectly sweet fruit. My husband had the croque madam which shocked me to see him adventurous with his choice. Not one scrap was left behind. He even loved the mustard it came with. Needless to say we will be back for sure. read more
