I came here straight from the airport to get a tasty grill-type meal on the beach. I think the prices are very affordable for food directly on the beach. The burger was well made, fresh, and flavorful with fresh veg on it. It's situated on a beautiful beach and you can also rent chairs and umbrellas there at an affordable price as well! Great first spot to go to start the travel weekend. Service was also friendly and speedy. read more

Coquina Beach Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bradenton Beach, Florida

We walked down the beach to this outdoor cafe for breakfast three times while visiting the island. Large food portions share unless you're really hungry. Very nice deck and plastic dinning which is beach friendly. The surrounding beach is so nice and clean. There was one bathroom close to the bar and then a couple others in parking lot. The water to wash your sandy off was in the opposite direction. Tons of parking. The trolley stops here too. read more

I came in with high expectations given the hype surrounding this café, but I was thoroughly disappointed. The food menu is quite limited, and what we received was extremely below average in quality. Regarding the service, most of the staff came across as indifferent and had noticeable attitude issues, which really ruined the vibe. I do want to give credit to the one male employee who was remarkably pleasant and attentive because he genuinely saved the experience from being a total disaster. Unfortunately, great service from one individual isn't enough to make up for bad food and widespread poor customer service, making this place completely overhyped. read more

The food was really tasty. We were pleased with the value. Beautiful setting right on the beach. Friendly staff. Nothing fancy, but good all around for a bite to eat right on the beach. read more

I'm pretty sure my kids wrote that review, and I don't think it sounded very positive. We had a great time at the cafe and would definitely recommend it for a bite to eat while you're at the beach. It's such a lovely perk to have open air beach cafes at the parks. read more

Snow cone and lemonade were great! Burgers were ok. Fish tacos had some weird glaze on it. It was not very good. Need to get fresh fish or at least wild caught. And they need just traditional toppings on it. read more

Great patio views directly on the beach overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Service was ok and the breakfast sandwich--egg, cheese slice, bacon on toast--was nothing to write home about. But the view--beautiful. read more

Toes in the sand. Right at volleyball games Fast served and fresh Friendly staff Nice treat for breakfast read more

Very disappointed! Walked up to order food at 352p on a Sunday. The web site says open til 5pm. We stood at register waiting in line while they serviced another customer. Is she walked away from the register to go pick up her order they looked at me and said we're closed and could not take my order. I looked at my clock and just turned 4 PM. Said that they close on Sundays at 4 PM. They turned away at least five people waiting in line. All of us were standing there waiting to place an order you think that they would've told us or yelled out before 4 o'clock to say that they were closing. But the confusing part is the website says open till 5 PM and on Google as well. So basically money lost in an off-season month, misleadingly information and terrible customer service! read more

Great location on the beach, but the service was really poor and the food mediocre. It's a casual place and it would have been a nice place for a Sunday breakfast but they absolutely need to remove the older woman with blue framed glasses from interactions with the public. I asked where the utensils were (since no one gave us any when they brought the food) and she was rude and unfriendly. She was the same with others in our party. read more

So the "owner" replied to me basically saying "I'm sorry you were not happy" he did NOT bother to address an issue as a customer. Yes this is on the beach but the staff are ON THE CLOCK and I bet they would be pissed had they been treated the way I was. read more

Coquina Beach Cafe - Not the best of beers. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bradenton Beach, Florida

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Specifically the bar and the absolute garbage drinks that they serve. With all due respect to the local wildlife, the young lady tending bar has the personality of the manatees that frequent the waters. read more

Love, love, love every visit here in the morning...superb breakfast- good not "great" coffee. The ppl here are awesome and it feels like home! wed and friday is market and artist day right now beginning at 10am...so if you are looking for quiet & beachy...the wrong days. Plenty of parking anytime! read more

Fun, festive, beachfront cafe and bar with good food and drinks. Right on the beach with plenty of parking

Fantastic Bloody Mary and great view. Your basic run of the mill breakfast. Service is always very quick and the staff is friendly

Women who worked here were VERY rude but guys were great! Food was pretty good. View of the beach was beautiful of course.

The view is amazing you're right on the beach and can get onto sand right away. They have outdoor seating. There isn't anywhere to eat in this spot except here so glad we could grab a bite. The food was okay and did the job for being hungry and not wanting to leave the beach. The grilled cheese was GREATTT! read more

The view was nice (or would have been, if I hadn't had to face away from the beach to stay out of the sun!); the food, OK. I had the strawberry french toast and a large OJ (straight from the plastic gallon.) Decently done, served with enough syrup. read more

Cute little beachside food spot! They offered both takeout and dine-in (note: actually entirely outdoors) food options and a beer cart nearby if iced tea or pop aren't what you're looking for. I got the fish and chips platter while my partner had the chicken tenders. I'm told the tenders were "meh", but the fish was to die for! It was fresh and very moist. They take your order and assign a number, and when your food is ready they bring it out to you. Our food was ready in minutes! I was very happy with them and would go back for sure. Check them out if you're looking for a bite to eat after an afternoon in the sun. read more

Fabulous end to warm beach day at Coquina Beach Cafe. Opted to be a kid and get a Cherry Lime Snow cone, as to not ruin dinner of course. Memories!! At least this time it came in a plastic cone container vs ice cream truck paper one. Easier to eat all the way to the bottom without leaking, nice! They had other beachfront food offerings and was tempted by local grouper fish tacos or old school classics like chicken fingers and cheese fries. Someone infront of me got a burger with all the fixings and I have to say its the best looking beach burger i've ever seen served. read more

We absolutely love to come to this beach. It is our go to spot to relax and clear your mind. This little place has good food cold drink and mixed drinks. This is a great place to chill and watch the sunset. The is absolutely amazing. I live in Riverview and thiscis my favorite beach to come to and can't wait to visit again. read more

CeCi was so much fun!! Great service, super friendly and made our stay for our drink like we were regulars! Thanks for the beach treat!

Food was good for a beachside hut and the people were so nice .Especially Tom who helped with beach chairs. He had a great attitude which gives the place a nice vibe. read more

Awesome beach front spot. Grab a drink and relax. Super friendly staff!! They love their jobs for sure. How could they not? Working right on the beach! Food is tasty for just a beach concession. Toes in the sand dining is a big plus! Really good canned beer selection - my favorite ;) read more

My family young and old have eaten there many times. My go to order was usually the chicken tenders platter. I gave it another chance today with hopes that this year the tenders would be better than the last 2 winter visits. Nope! They are all breading and so hard. Use to truly be tender and meaty. I'll come back for the beach. Hope to find a new menu item. read more

Nice daytime spot for a drink and snack. Very quiet beach with nothing else around, right at the southern end of the free trolley run. They have live music on a regular basis but I think we were too late in the day. They close at 4. read more

I don't know if the parking is always free, but it was free this Sunday morning at 9am. Our food came out quickly. The people were nice. I ordered 2 eggs with home fries, toast,& bacon. My sister had a toasted bagel. Add two coffees and it came to $21.00. Best view around. Beach bar attached and if you felt like having alcohol so early, you could. Both the beach bar and cafe close at 4:00. read more

I was not surprised to see a two star rating here. It's the only place on the beach to get food or drink, so you're kind of stuck. This needs to be a fast, high volume, friendly establishment. It is none of those. Employees are rude and slow slow slow. A huge beach of customers are coming in, let's move a little bit huh? Long lines and mediocre product at best. Definitely don't come here unless you're out of options. read more

Coquina Beach Cafe - View from the deck - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bradenton Beach, Florida

We stopped here on Dec 30th around 1:00 pm. There are 2 lines. 1 for food and 1 for alcohol. Both are extremely slow. This cafe is ok food wise. We got a seafood platter and it was enough for 2 people to share. Food was ok but not delicious. I think the rude people in line made the experience worse plus we were both suffering from low blood sugar and we were just tired by the time we got there. We thought it would be quick and easy and hopefully cheap. It's not. They have some items that are reasonably priced but the seafood is as expensive here as it is in a nice restaurant. I expect better food for the price. read more

Good food and good portions. Right on the beach makes for a great view. The chicken strips were really good.

The beer was cold and the service was adequate. The setting on the beach was the large redeeming factor. It was a very relaxing and stress-free visit. We'd go back if given the chance. read more

They take no orders while changing over from breakfast to lunch despite having a line 30 people long. Overpriced food and poor service.

Nice little spot that is conveniently located right on the beach. Food is decent, but not great. Service is good. Prices are high. For seafood platter, two burgers, grilled cheese, one order of fries, and three drinks it was over $60. Would go back for the convenience. read more

The only thing here is impressive. Service was HORRIBLE. After waiting 40 minutes for the food - because they kept giving it to the wrong people, there was a lot of complaining, we finally got the food. They forgot to give us our beverages - we had to chase those down separately. The problem is that they have the monopoly on the location and there isn't anything else close by. Stinks. read more
