Breaking Wave Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Very good coffee. Bold taste . Kind and fast service! Very nice and convenient location! Thanks Radu !!! read more

I had an awesome honey, cinnamon hot latte the other day. The baristas were friendly and the atmosphere was nice.

Nice modern coffee shop. I had an Americano and it was okay. Looks like modern coffee places like in Berlin or Finland.

The coffee here is great. I love the Flat White with Almond milk however I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because their website is terrible. There is no menu on their site or phone numbers. It is just one page and there's barely any information on it except for the hours. Also, I am not sure why it is not open on Sundays. I would love to have gone in for a coffee on a Sunday morning. read more

My favorite coffee shop I went to during my stay in Sarasota. Delicious vanilla latte and loved the apricot croissant!!

I moved to Sarasota about a year ago. As soon as I started working downtown I tried every cafe around... This is hands down the best coffee shop in the Downtown area. The coffee is the best around, but more important, the staff here is amazing! They are all Super friendly and genuinely awesome people. I would highly recommend checking this place out! I frequent Breaking Wave on a regular basis and the experience is always the best. read more

Super cute and great cold brew! read more

Breaking Wave Coffee - Cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

My husband and I always stop by Breaking Wave while we're in downtown. Coffee and staff are equally amazing. The atmosphere is comforting and clean. A perfect place to meet up or get some work done! It's quite funny to hear about the bad review that Somer C. wrote today. While outside seating is limited, with only two tables, my husband and I happened to witness a women sitting at the only other outside table to just use Breaking Wave's wifi and seating without purchasing anything. The staff politely asked her if they could get her something to drink, to which she responded "no". In the nicest way possible, they simply explained to her that seating is for paying clientele. The first time around telling her this didn't stick, so someone else had to say the same thing to her when she didn't leave or buy something. Which honestly, is a no brainer. 99% of establishments are like this. But to leave a review saying that the staff were disrespectful and left you in tears is quite dramatic. https://www.yelp.com/biz/breaking-wave-coffee-sarasota?hrid=e81Nqo5nabV5QsUDgucJDw&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) read more

$2.50 green tea literally tastes and looks like water. Three stars instead of one because the barista was very nice and took it back and made me a different one. Still tasted light but did taste like something. The place is clean but not a lot of seating area. Not a lot of customers either, but it's new. Also there are mini pain au chocolat and they're $2 which is way too much for pain au chocolat let alone a mini one. Coffee looks professional though. Didn't stay to try it. Got my second tea to go. read more

This place couldn't be any more legit! Perfect cortado!! And the espresso tonic in Florida weather- yes. Nice open vibe; knowledgeable baristas. Win! read more

Costumer service was amazing, they were out of banana bread but quickly recommended the avocado toast which was INCREDIBLE! I never really like paying for avocado toast usually because it's so over priced, but it was so good. The place was calm and inviting and good coffee, I got a lot of work done! read more

SOLID specialty coffee shop. I loved the Ethiopian espresso in my cortado made with extra creamy chobani oat milk! Also the Guatemalan pour over was fireee. We had fun chatting with the owner too and talking about the joys and challenges of owning and operating a specialty coffee shop. The coconut macaroons were also delicious and gluten free! We will definitely be back for more coffee during our vacation this week. read more

I was super excited to try this place. I couldn't decide between and iced latte or an iced dirty chai. The barista was very friendly and helped me decide on the chai. Said dirty chai cost $5.35 but the real kicker here was that it literally tasted like W A T E R. Such a disappointment. Probably won't be back. read more

Hands down, the hest coffee in Sarasota Highly recommend for those who just want a good cup of coffee. The cold brew is especially exceptional. The only knock I have is that the ambience isn't exactly inviting and the furniture is not comfortable. read more

The best coffee I've had in Sarasota. I'm originally from Seattle so I can be pretty picky about the quality of my coffee. The coffee shop is modern & has a warm minimalist feel. The pastries are superb, always fresh and very delicious! Highly recommend :) read more

Hands down THE best latte I've ever had. Stayed on siesta key, but drove back everyday for their latte. Oh and the almond croissant was pretty damn good, too. read more

I have been to Breaking Wave a couple of times and it is very good every time. Today my wife and I had two different pour overs and they were extremely clean, balanced and flavorful and needed no cream at all. We also had a very good croissant with strawberry jam. You can't go wrong here. read more

Been here a few times and it's been on point every visit. The lattes are great and professional. Exceptionally friendly people behind the counter too! This is a shop with ACTUAL coffee and espresso, not the generic drinks you get from chains. Well done! read more

During the COVID was my favorite place to come to. Relaxed atmosphere and amazing coffee made with love :) read more

I met this dude named Kelly. Cool beard, cool glasses, cool ginger. 10/10 would recommend.

Very clean, cute shop. Love the addition of living plants. Super friendly barista (he's the owner, if I'm not mistaken). I don't typically order plain iced lattes, but the shots were so good that I didn't mind no added sweeteners. Give this place a try! read more

Breaking Wave Coffee - Sublime cappuccino! Fabulous gathering place! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

5 stars for the customer service, the location, and the friendliness. However, the chai lattes are not that good. I ordered a chai latte with oat milk. they don't take like chai, but they also don't taste like oat milk?? It was a very weird taste. I will go back to try something different, but the customer service was exceptional. read more

Good concept cute shop. Cold brew was very watery. Could not finish it which is disappointing. Not a local so asked for recommendations and got nothing. I drink a lot of coffee and would've tried something new, but no options given. read more

Best coffee in Sarasota downtown. Coffee is perfectly prepared and is so delicious! Great location in downtown Sarasota with indoor seating and outdoor tables. I highly recommend Breaking Wave. read more

Great new spot in downtown Sarasota's lower Main Street. Breaking Wave is a quiet little space to grab a coffee before walking along the waterfront in the adjacent Bayfront park. The coffee selection looks great and the cold brew did not disappoint. Don't miss the almond croissants, however - there's a butter layer inside worthy of a review in and of itself. My arteries may be the lesser for it, but let's be honest- the world spins on salt, sugar, and butter anyway. Eat the damn croissant. read more

Breaking Wave Coffee - Cold brew from Breaking Wave Coffee; Taz, post-croissant bliss. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

We got "stuck" in Sarasota during the pandemic due to vacation, and have frequented this place for take out cold brew and hot coffee. This is by far the best coffee in this area. Great service, product, and sweet location on Main St in downtown. Can't recommend it highly enough! read more

I usually leave pretty good reviews of establishments but i've never encountered an employee to be so rude to me. i didn't order anything at first because i was doing homework and it wasn't until i was about to leave when an employee told me that i should not go there establishment unless i order something. i was going to order a pastry to go after i finished. which i did order. It was basically empty and i've never been to an establishment where this was allowed or it was a problem. it was a very disrespectful thing to say and i've been a costumer before. the disrespectful attitude was not necessary. I will take my business elsewhere, where it's not a problem that i do my work first and then order something. no apology was said. read more

Excellent cappuccino excellent space friendly owner and the perfect buzz for relaxing and working.

The best local coffee shop. The coffee is amazing and the stuff is super friendly. Will be back!
