It was delectable . I did not go wrong. They sold everything from regular coffee, espresso, tea, frozen lemonade, wine, beer, frozen, hot chocolate! Also, if you were hungry, they sold a few different kinds of snacks. While you were waiting on your drinks or snacks, they had a whole entire back of the store that you could look at. It had handmade items by local artists. Consisting off of things from necklaces & earrings, to photographs and shell art. What a wonderful eclectic store. I will be back if I'm in the area.

Just be a smidge patient. That said, the service overall is very polite. I went for coffee and then a couple hours later when back for a gluten free coffee cake and the worker (maybe owner(?)) remembered me. Give it a try and support local!

The only donut place that I could find during our weekend stay…read more Small place with lots of variety from desserts to savory treats and even gluten free options. **My issue with this place is that the donuts and bagels that I was interested in were out in the open and uncovered so there were flies over them!!** I purchased a maple glazed vanilla filled donut, an apple fritter, 6 donut holes, and 5 different bagels. I spent near $30 and most of it went to the trash as they were hard and not fresh at all. There was only one young man working, and while nice, he seemed bored and uninviting. Needless to say, I wouldn't return unless they get a covered donut display at least.

I think they will have sushi on other days according to demand. And they have a very nice wine menu. The breakfast menu has items that you don't get in the normal breakfast places on the island. Avocado toast etc. plus homemade muffins and pastries. The service was perfect! Highly recommend checking this out if you are in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island.

We arrived at Anna Maria Island early in the morning to see the turtles. After a long day of…read morehelping the turtles, we were hungry, so we decided to have breakfast at Fifty Three Fifty. I'm glad we chose this place because I ordered the 86M Sandwich, which turned out to be one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. The egg was beautifully thick, and the spicy pepper and bacon jam were perfection. I highly recommend it. The service was excellent. Everyone was very sweet and welcoming. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to relax after our morning activities. I will definitely be returning on our next visit to the island.

Date of Visit: Nov. 15, 2025…read more The wife and I were on another road trip from the other side of the Skyway. We had stopped at another place for a beverage but were not hungry at the time. We did a little bit of shopping and worked up an appetite and wanted to stop by this burger joint I had visited a few months back but the lot was full and no place to park, we kept going down the boulevard. We weren't sure if we wanted to give this another try but we did, mainly because they had spots open in their parking lot. We made our way across the street and entered the cafe. Lucky there were two openings at the bar. We sit at the bar usually cause the service is better. And this where it was dejavu all over again. We had been here several before and really had good service. Took a while the get the bar tenders attention, again. We finally did and ordered a couple beers, then he disappeared when we were ready to order and the other people behind the bar ignored us till we spoke up, "We're ready to order" and the one girl looked at us like deer in the headlights. She had to go and get her gadget to place the order. The menu had several good choices but I wasn't taking any chances, I ordered the double smash-burger with fries and the wife the classic club with slaw. After ordering I could see they were still working on the place after last years storms, the kitchen was set-up in front out of a big trailer and for as many people this place can seat at least 200, there were only two unisex bathrooms, wow. The food arrived and it looked pretty good. I liked the burger, not the best I had but fair. The fries were average as well. My wife's club was huge, she could only eat half of it and she said it was good as well. The best part was the slaw, she had me taste it and it was very good. Once again, when we were ready for our check the bartender was more interested in the college football game on the TV, that took a moment to get his attention. If you can look past the below average service and just above average food, the ambiance is the best part of this place. Right on the shores of the Gulf of MEXICO...Peace.

In a gluten-free cone, was paired Pistachio and Cappuccino. The pistachio was smooth, nutty, and authentic, not overly sweet, while the cappuccino delivered a perfect coffee kick with a velvety texture. The cone held up well and didn't get soggy, which is always a plus for gluten-free options. The gelato shop was cozy and quaint, perfect for a pick me up! The ladies at the gelato shop let us try as many flavors as needed before choosing the perfect combo. PS I do not recommend the Oreo or dark chocolate flavors. Yuck.

We both ordered the chicken tortilla soup, and it was amazing -- incredibly rich, flavorful, and comforting. Definitely a standout! Service and food were both excellent. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the inside of the restaurant smelled a bit stale, and unfortunately the women's restroom had an unpleasant odor. Hoping that's something that can be addressed, because otherwise it was a really great lunch experience.

They didn't have rocky road so there was a pretty interesting conversation on what's the closest ... They had a lot of candy which I didn't really skim through since I was super focused on the ice cream flavors. They had 3 different types of cones cake, sugar and waffle. The staff were really friendly. The Ferris Wheel structure part of the window display is super cool. The ice cream is real smooth and creamy. Gold mine had caramel, vanilla and Chocolate but I didn't find it too heavy. Bang for your buck and you get what you asked for.

That being said, I found it on yelp and I'm very glad I did. It's similar to a Panera bread/chipotle where you get in line with your menu place your order grab a number and sit down. My daughter ordered a pancake with blueberries on top and a side of two eggs. The pancake was perfectly cooked and delicious as were the fresh blueberries. We ordered the eggs over easy and they were a little under cooked (runny white). I ordered the smoked salmon, avocado toast, which comes with two slices of toast, smoked salmon, avocado spread, fresh tomatoes slices, capers, and red onions. The only thing missing was balsamic glaze IMO. The place is so cute with all its unique and quirky decorations. They have light fixtures made of license plates, blue glass water bottles, and even a surfboard. The tables are all mismatched. I love! It has perfect beach, vibes. There is no service, but the cashiers are very friendly and helpful. Also, as a tip, they have a coffee bar where you can find the silverware whatever you need for your coffee & cups to get plain water.

I normally don't like grits, but these were actually really good. My eggs were a bit overcooked, though I didn't specify how I wanted them, so that one's on me. The cinnamon roll was delish and HUGE. I was a little bummed it's heated in the microwave instead of the oven, but honestly... still very good. I'd go back and get it again. Coffee was very meh :( I'm still on the hunt for the best coffee spot in AMI. Overall, a great stop for breakfast if you're in the area.
