Outside

This place is just ok, there's a lot of popularity from tik tok and instagram but the açaí bowls were okay, there's matcha was very bland and watered down and the chai was also very watered down and just not great quality. The service was very good, workers are very nice and it's a cute picture spot.

Went back to North Shore Cafe and immediately realized we made the wrong call -- should've stuck with the avocado toast. We had it before and it was definitely the better option. The açaí bowls this time were a miss -- not frozen and way too soft, more like a smoothie than a bowl. Not even close to what we're used to at Sweet Blenz in Vero. Still a good spot overall, just order wisely.

Açaí bowl and caramel latte
Lily S.

Such a quaint and unique cafe. The bowl and latte were both delicious. They also had a shop where I bought a cute tshirt! We will be back one day.

Order line has to cross the pick up order window. They should be switched around.

My older daughters wanted to try the TikTok hype. Food is still good. The service, was good they got the order correct at the ordering window. You still have to cross paths between the ordering window and pick up window. You still have to eat at dirty tables, you still have to clean up after yourself and you still have to cut through line to throw away your garbage and pick up the dirty handless lids. Did we not learn from Covid about sanitation? Oh and still limited seating 9 tables and 6 chairs facing the waterfront.

The first time we tried to stop by it was super hot and the line was oh so long! We decided to try another coffee shop instead and come back on a less busy day. We came back and the line was just as long but I was determined to try this place (for science lol!) I had Bob stand in line while I went down the street with my kiddo to pick up our delicious donuts from The Donut Experiment. When we returned he was still in line to be fair they did have a large fan which made it a little cooler. When we arrived at the window I ordered my usual dirty chai, Bob got his fav a matcha and my kiddo got a classic smoothie. The smoothie was really good and served with a boba straw which my kid is obsessed with drinking everything out of right now lol! We treated ourselves to the large cups and they were huge! The chai wasn't as flavorful as some of the other places we tried so I would probably try something different if we go back. They also have food we had just ordered the donuts so we didn't try it but lots of people around us did. It's a cute little spot with a courtyard with tables and a view of the water. They even had a gift shop with hats, dresses, jewelry and such so fun!

Um... okay. Their açaí bowls are good, they always have been. All I'm wondering is why are these girls working at the front so miserable?! Customer service is always going to be a pain in the butt when you're dealing with general public, (the people in front of us in line proved that) but don't take it out on the people that are being overly nice. Like it's ok!!! Anyway, it's always cute or whatever. Gift shop and all

The BEST coffee on AMI.
Russ L.

This was THE BEST COFFEE we had (by far) on the island (and we tried several places). The place is absolutely beautiful and the outside space is incredible. The branding is really great and the merch selection is really next level. Now to tell on myself, when we went to order, my wedding ring accidentally dropped into a small crack between the deck boards under the counter. I panicked but the owner (Scott) and his wife were super gracious and said they'd get somebody there to pull up a board so I could get it. Thankfully there was a contractor across the street that was able to fish it out. Crisis averted! Thanks again Scott! Needless to say, I went back every day the rest of my trip and bought more coffee and merch . Shoutout to Dalton and the crew for being awesome!

Every time I'm in Bradenton I make my way to this cafe. Their coffee is great and the courtyard to sit, relax, and enjoy my breakfast is picturesque. It does get busy! So if you can go early and snag the Adirondack chairs that sit overlooking the water. Highly recommend!

Line on a Sunday morning!

Super cute coffee shop! Total AMI vibes. As someone who grew up coming to this beach, this is such a little gem. Lots of outside seating, small waterfront view, cute gift shop in the front. The Açaí bowls are HUGE! Come early! Line was crazy long. Waited about 30+ minutes in line, but coffee, food and vibes were great.

We went on an overcast day so the sun was no problem for us outside. After we ordered outside, there was a bit of a wait but I noticed this place is pretty popular. I recommend the strawberry banana smoothie! My husband said the buffalo chicken wrap was meh but I enjoyed my turkey sandwich

Amanda D.

The setting is nice, with some canal front seating. I like the Serena & Lily style chairs. The serving window is a bit backwards you have to walk around people already waiting for their items. They have a cute gift shop. Avocado toast was good, pumpkin cold foam was too sweet for my liking, but I prefer black coffee typically. There is also an Instagram worthy "postcard" mural.

North Shore Cafe is such a cute little gem by the water! There was a huge line (it's clearly the spot), but the staff was so sweet and quick with orders. I got the regular açaí bowl, delish and tried a matcha (not usually my thing), but honestly, it was so good. Loved the whole vibe

Honey lavender latte with oatmilk
Jay B.

This place is a vibe! It's worth checking out. I only came for the coffee and can tell you the iced honey lavender and hazelnut lattes with oatmilk were good! The acai bowls looked good and our huge! There's even a nice shop they have next to it with some good stuff especially the hats. I took off a star for what seems like the same reason everyone else has which is the service and experience. This place has a large lobby with cash registers and A/C and looks like you can order inside but for some reason they make you order and pick up from a window outside. If this place was located right on the beach that would make sense but it's not. And while the patio has shade and is very chill the place to order outside has zero. If you're the business owner and you're reading this I would kindly recommend you put up some type of shade, tarp, fans or something because standing in that line in this Florida heat and humidity for a coffee is brutal! Or open up the lobby to share the A/C with your customers because the employees sure looked like they weren't sweating and looked very comfortable.

iced vanilla almond milk chai(huge!!), plain croissant, dragon fruit bowl, everything avocado toast.

Realistically, this is a 3.5 star review…read more We went there for breakfast and it was busy. I ordered a jalapeño cheddar bagel with eggs, Swiss cheese, and avocado. My sandwich was delicious BUT it was missing the avocado (which I went back and asked for separately). I also realized a little too late that I got someone else's order because I got American cheese not Swiss cheese. I think it would be helpful if they labeled the different sandwiches since there were three bagel sandwiches in our order. For my drink, I wanted to try the jewel flavoring (toffee nut and carameand I asked the staffer if it was better in a frappe or an iced latte and she advised the latter. The drink was so delicious that I think she was right. I also ordered a banana nut muffin, which I will have to come back and review as I have not tried it yet. However, I did try the crumble cake and it was too sweet for my liking. The place is really cute with art and merchandise but the music was too loud. However, we were lucky to find seating in the back. I have to say, the staff was nice and responsive. I know it is not easy managing a big party.

One of a handful of legit coffee spots open early on the Island! Loved the beans they used - great…read moreroast and flavor. Had a cappuccino and one of their specialty drinks. Also grabbed a few of the muffins which the kids devoured. Delish!

I really wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately our experience started in a way that left me…read morein tears at the table. We waited about 40 minutes outside before being called in. While waiting, I noticed the woman greeting other guests very warmly, with things like "come on in, baby." When our table was called, she mispronounced my husband Tony's name. He simply corrected her and said, "Tony," and her response was, "whatever." As we approached the entrance, she was standing in the doorway and I finally asked, "Can we come in? It's hot out here." Her demeanor immediately changed and she silently moved aside and led us to our table. I'll be honest: once I sat down, I cried for about five minutes out of anger. I'm pregnant, I was hungry, my two young children were with us, and after waiting so long I didn't feel like I could simply pick everyone up and start over somewhere else. I also didn't want to have an argument in front of my children, so I swallowed a lot of what I wanted to say. I can't say what motivated the difference in treatment, but as a Latina woman, I noticed it and it made me uncomfortable--especially when I later watched difficult interactions happen with two other Latino tables as well. I was glad to see apologies and much warmer treatment afterward, but our initial interaction had already affected what should have been a nice family breakfast. Thankfully, a second server eventually took care of us and our experience with her was much better. We ultimately waited around another 40 minutes for our food. I'm not writing this because I expect special treatment. I expect the same basic courtesy given to every other guest. Whatever the reason for the initial behavior, responding "whatever" when a customer politely tells you his name is disrespectful and unnecessary. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, because no guest should leave a breakfast table wondering why their family seemed to be treated differently.
