She had the Apple Pie Belgian, and I had the Bacon & Eggs Belgian. Both were delicious, and we even had leftovers for the ride home. The atmosphere was so much fun. My daughter and I loved all the hanging plants and vines, and the cool apes wearing sunglasses while eating waffles were such a fun touch. Definitely a fun vibe with great food and excellent service. I highly recommend stopping by!

Tracy was our server, we had a really bad experience trying to eat at a café, but got ignored. We…read morewere greeted immediately by a friendly hostess and seated in Tracey's station at a beautiful outdoor patio table. Five star experience from start to finish, great recommendations from the server and all proves to be fantastic. We started with wuevos rancheros, ordered a croissant sandwich with egg cheddar, bacon, avocado, and sprouts, and also a blackened chicken salad. The food is fantastic and it was so good that we ordered a second plate of the rancheros. Thank you for being such a beacon of joy Tracy and thank you for the incredible meal. We will be back anytime we come back to siesta keys. It's off the beaten path, so make sure that you find this hidden gem best meal for sure

The Max's Bliscuit was a huge buttermilk biscuit, two eggs, cheese, and bacon..the eggs were ordered over-easy but I think that they were just a bit passed that point but Terri said that it was still very good. It's a very bright and friendly decor inside and out...definitely one of our favorite places in Siesta Key Village!

It's very quaint outside and inside, which is my style. I really wanted the French toast but since I was going to get a baked goodie for later, I didn't. I just got the normal eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. I asked for crispy bacon, and it was perfect. The potatoes aren't freshly cut but were hot and tasty. Loved the coffee and fresh creme. Will definitely be back soon and bring my GF.

What a delightful little place! We arrived around 8:30 a.m. and although it was already a bit busy,…read morewe were seated right away. We chose a table on their adorable back patio, which was shaded with umbrellas and kept comfortable with fans throughout the area. They offer daily food and drink specials, along with a large menu packed with plenty of great options. Our food arrived quickly, was served hot, and tasted delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we'll definitely be back!

If you're looking for the most dry, bland breakfast in Sarasota, this place has unfortunately…read moremastered it. The food had zero flavor, like they forgot seasoning even exists. And the bread? It was toasted so hard it could've doubled as a roofing shingle. Nothing about the meal felt fresh, enjoyable, or worth the price. Sarasota has too many good breakfast spots to waste a morning here. Definitely won't be back.

Stopped in here for breakfast after reading so many positive Yelp reviews. I am adding one more…read more I bellied up to the breakfast bar and ordered a chi tea latte. It was very good-hot with a shake of cinnamon on a good froth. I went with the special homemade corned beef hash with potatoes and two eggs on top. Served with marbled rye toast. At $18.95, it was a lotta food and made right. No canned ingredients. Great spot to have breakfast- a steady crowd was proof of that.

Inside has 3 rooms; bar area, and two dining rooms. Mediterranean tapas inspired menu- we shared some small plates. The grilled octopus, chicken souvlaki, kefta pita( my favorite) and Moroccan hot honey sliders. Everything was delicious and the drinks complimented the entrees. My Spanish gin and tonic was very different (good) and beautifully prepared. My wife had lemon- lavender tequila and Paloma and both were refreshing. Luis was a terrific server who made some recommendations and knew the menus. A worthwhile find that deserves another visit- especially during happy hours.

They allowed us to enjoy our meal- take our time with drinks and dessert. The Dubai martini was delicious. Same with the espresso martini- smooth and SO good. One of my favs around. The small dirty martini salad was shared by three of us-kale, green olives- loved it. Mushroom Bisque was outstanding. Creamy, rich (but not overly)- and so tasty. Sicilian Pomodoro was also such a wonderful plate. 4 shrimp topped with whipped ricotta and pasta - loved! Shared the Tarta de Santiago for dessert. Light, sweet- love an almonds cake.

I will always Stan C'est La Vie in Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch. This location is always busy so get…read morethere early if you have your eyes on a specific pastry. Actually, just get there early anyway because the pastry items are fresher/better. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I typically skip trying to park next to it and just go to the garage and walk over. The service is more attentive than a typical French cafe overseas but not as on top of you as a typical place in the US. You can definitely order at the counter in French if you want to and I've had a waiter there flip between English, French, Spanish, and another language (maybe Romanian?) in one order. The sandwiches I've had were all lovely, and had a little side salad that could benefit from a better dressing (they serve an okay vinaigrette though). I've yet to encounter a single bad pastry - the elcairs, mousse cakes, and flaky pastries like chausson pommes are on par with the typical boulangerie/pattisserie in France and don't make me think US adaptation at all. Prices are reasonable.

It's a small, quaint spot with an amazing atmosphere, but definitely be prepared to wait if you're coming for brunch it's very popular for a reason! The wait was absolutely worth it, though. I started with a cappuccino, and it was perfection rich, smooth, and exactly what you need to wake up. For food, the savory crepe was outstanding. It had that perfect authentic texture slightly crisp on the edges and soft in the middle. I also tried the cauliflower soup, which was a surprising highlight. It was incredibly creamy and flavorful honestly, one of the best soups I've had in a long time. Highly recommend this gem if you're in the area!

I ordered their special which is the Croissant French toast with banana creme brûlée' and it was good. I'd prefer them to change the name since there isn't exactly croissant bread involved with the dish at all. So that was misleading and a little disappointing. The flavor profiles went well together but this wasn't my favorite.
