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! read more

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. read more

I wanted so badly to not believe the reviews about the açaí bowl. Ordered one and the blended açaí part (the entire base of the bowl) was so tasteless. The almond butter was the only redeeming factor. Please consider changing your açaí recipe because for that price it should taste good. If you can find a Backyard Bowls and take some pointers it could be a game changer for you. read more

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! read more

great food and coffee! The açaí bowls were delicious and refreshing and there were tons of options for beverages(including super large sizes). Staff was friendly and it was a very organized operation. Line was long, but went fast and food and drink did not take more than 10 minutes. Cute backyard area to hangout, good amount of seating but goes quick since it is usually quite busy read more

North Shore Cafe - iced vanilla almond milk chai(huge!!), plain croissant, dragon fruit bowl, everything avocado toast. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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 read more

This place is easily one of the best on the island, great vibes, good music, mostly good drinks. I waited in linen for about a hour but it moved fast and the staff had a sense of urgency. My matcha was pretty good, and my friend's chai was ok. The yogurt açaí bowl was pure perfection, and the croissants are delicious. Not worth a detour but totally worth a stop if you're near. read more

Long lines which they could do more to keep moving faster. Food is overpriced and OK

North Shore! Come for the view, stay for the tude (attitude). Or come to spend loot and get nothing but snoot. Either way you shake it, I've seen countless patrons given much attitude, sass and snootiness from some of the most over privileged girls you've ever met in the country. They are way too young to be this arrogant and indifferent toward others in a customer service position. They are here to earn a paycheck to pay their cell phone bills and tinkerbell makeup, teaching them responsibility, so their parents tell them anyway. Instead they bring from their homes, their first world entitlement problems to showcase and display at the North shore cafe. Sounds like a bad country song in Anna Marie island. read more

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. read more

Went here for lunch & got an açaí bowl which was so good- definitely recommend! It was a very popular lunch spot with lots of people but had a big outdoor seating area with chairs and tables. Food only took about 10 minutes which was surprising since it was so crowded! read more

North Shore Cafe - Açaí bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

If you're looking for coastal vibes, here's your spot. The service is just meh though. You can tell they are busy all day and don't love it lol. The gift shop girl was very kind though! Such a cute gift shop with so many awesome shirts, hats, jewelry, etc. The açaí bowl was okay. Melts very quickly so it was kinda soupy. Not enough peanut butter, maybe pay for extra if you enjoy that part? The avocado toast was delicious! The lattes are average. Not enough shade as there is only outdoor seating. They definitely need more seating as well. Prepare for a line and a wait! Great aesthetics and picture wall though read more

A cute outdoor patio with healthy food options. Very busy but the kitchen is fast and once you put in your order, it's out quite fast. The food was good, but options limited (esp since you can't order the "lunch" items while the "breakfast" items are still being made). FYI, the large option for drinks is LARGE! read more

North Shore Cafe - Avocado toast with cream cheese and everything seasoning - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

Stopped by here after reading the reviews online. The place is very cute, it's an outdoor window you order from and even on weekdays there was a line. I ordered a latte with oat milk and added hazelnut and caramel flavor. After waiting about 30 min in line and another 20+ for the 2 coffees and açaí bowl to come out the coffee was just okay. After seeing the long line and wait I truly was hoping it was going to be some out of this world coffee, but sadly that was not the case. It wasn't bad, just very simple to the point where I barely could taste the flavor and they forgot the oat milk too. I am not sure if it was just an off day, but for me it's too pricey for what it was. The açaí bowl was also okay, very pretty but nothing to rave about. Not sure if I would give it another shot, but I'm hoping it was just an off day because the place was cute and I loved the aesthetics. read more

Location is awesome. Sits right on the water and pine street. We had Açaí bowls as a family - not a ton of selection and somewhat basic. Service is just okay. Quick and easy stop for a quick healthy breakfast or lunch. Pricy with okay service. read more

An excellent açaí bowl at North Shore! There was a line but it moves pretty fast. I wasn't overly impressed with the coffee but the service was friendly. Cute little tables and chairs to sit if it's not scorching hot out, otherwise I am not sure if there is any seating inside. read more

North Shore Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

Such a cute spot in the middle of Anna Maria island right near the beach. They have mostly breakfast foods, smoothies, açaí bowls, and sandwiches. They have parking but not a lot of spaces but there are spaces on the street. I love the aesthetic of the area with ample outdoor seating overlooking a waterway. It is a nice view and reprieve from the beach. I got the cold brew, dragon fruit bowl and the blackberry lavender mimosa. The dragonfruit bowl was huge! It filled me up for the whole day and both the coffee and mimosa were delicious. Definitely a must visit! read more

Overhyped for mediocre food. It's literally just a place to take pictures for Instagram. The line is long and the set up is so odd that it's pretty frustrating for those waiting to order and waiting to pick up their food. I truly think you should skip this place for breakfast and come here for a smoothie (if the line isn't too long) and to take pictures. read more

Skip this place. So many other solid coffee spots on the island. Less "aesthetic " or whatever you kids call it these days, but better coffee and no lines and most importantly no attitudes. I don't need to feel berated while ordering my iced latte, thank you. read more

This review is based on a very short experience so take what you will out of it. We visited AMI for the weekend and we realized it's not the most dog friendly place. It's just a bummer in particular for us because we're used to places being dog friendly in St Pete. This happened to be another business that only allows service animals. Which I guess that's on us for not checking beforehand. Since we were already there, one of the people in our party stayed outside with the dog while the rest of us attempted to check out the store and the restaurant. Upon entering, we were not greeted, no one was helpful or answering questions, and it was honestly very discouraging and we did not feel welcomed. It was very off putting and we decided against buying any products. Hopefully their staff gives others a better first impression. read more

Cute aesthetic spot but everything else is meh. Ordered a smoothie and it was lukewarm at best. Pretty sure some of the ingredients were missing. Wear your sunscreen because there's no shade (thankfully they had a pretty big fan pointed at the line that seemed to help). In need of more seating and shade. Not handicap/stroller friendly read more

Nice spot for coffee but not worth the wait! Sorry....but true. Average 45min. Not well organized - pick up line is before the order line which has you navigating thru others to pick up your stuff and if you just want coffee, you're stuck in a line with everyone who's ordering breakfast. read more

This place is in a cozy little spot tucked in and bordering a river which makes for some very scenic views while enjoying breakfast. The staff was absolutely exceptional, but there were some things that they could have done differently in order to better serve their customers. Pros: The food was very delicious! I ordered an avocado toast with a poached egg on top and my friend ordered yogurt with peanut butter, coconut shavings, bananas and strawberry slices. The staff was all very friendly and made sure to answer any questions we had about ordering. The outside eating area is very cute and while it was hot outside, we sat by the water for a bit before we needed to find shade. Cons: The layout of this café is a nightmare. Guests were not allowed inside even though it was clear they were before, and you have one window which people order and pick up food at. You stand in a line and at the same window while we were trying to order, another worker was shouting people's names. What they could have done is had people order inside, walk outside and then pick up their food at the window. There were a ton of workers in the kitchen so we were not sure why my toast took 15 minutes to make but maybe they were behind as it was a Saturday morning. If this place could logistically look at their layout and work process, I think it would have a much better flow. read more

Such a cute place with awesome views. They offer patio seating that is seat yourself as you order and pickup your food at their window. This place was expensive however the portion was large and it was tasty! Cute spot that I recommend checking out if you are in the area. It is located around all the shopping so swing by read more

Tried North Shore Cafe after seeing so many rave about it, but was a bit disappointed. The line took about 30 minutes just to order. The food and coffee were average but it just wasn't anything incredible that made me feel like it was worth waiting in line for. The location is really nice overlooking the water so I could see how it might be a fun spot to relax, meet with friends, or get some work done but aside from that I'd probably try somewhere else before going back here. read more

Horrible- says lettuce and tomato on ham and cheese sandwich and look - nope- no lettuce or tomato. When my husband asked about the lettuce and tomato - he was told " no it doesn't come with lettuce and tomato! 8.50 for this! Hire people and sandwich makers that know the menu! North Shore - never again! Oh, we got an açaí bowl that was pre- made and was watered down. Actually drank the bowl instead of eating it! Get it together North Shore Cafe!! Never again read more

Such a fun, cute place to grab a coffee of bite to eat. The menu is limited and mostly consists on açaí bowls, smoothies, bagels, croissants and pastries. There are a few sandwiches options including hams and cheese and a buffalo chicken wrap, and they offered some fancy mimosa flavors in addition to Bloody Mary's and lattes. There is the cutest outdoor space with tables and chairs, right on the waters edge. You must stop and get your Instagram moment in from of the Anna Maria mural. Note: the bathroom is clean and GORGEOUS, but locked (for good reasons). Ask for a key to go pee! read more

I went to the North Shore Cafe last Sunday. I have gone 3-4X in the last two years. Unfortunately, many of the previous negative reviews are accurate. I really want to like this place because the setting is really "Floridian" but I found myself getting annoyed at how little they seem to want to be better than just average. Food was okay. But making people wait in a very long and slow moving line for just okay food/coffee is a bummer. There are a few inexpensive things they could do to greater improve the experience. Provide shade and/or fans for people waiting in line rather than have them roast in the sun. Add additional seating options. Hire staff that act like they want be there. Use a speaker system to announce when food is ready rather than asking employees to yell through the line of waiting people. Work on making their coffee better than average. North Shore and the less than ideal experience is what happens when there just is not much competition in the area. read more

Everything is done right, here. I am not the guy you think of when you mention Avacado Toast, but we ordered it 3 days in a row. The Açaí bowls are big enough to share but so good you won't want to. read more

Such an awesome spot tucked behind their building to enjoy outdoor seating. You'd never know they had such a cool outdoor patio from the road. The back patio sits on a small channel. They even have yard games you can play! We ordered an Açaí Bowl and a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. The bowl was delicious and enough to share. The wrap was a large portion and pretty good but a little too strong with blue cheese. We tried to order the BLT but they ran out of bacon, so we tried to get the turkey and provolone but they ran out of turkey.. so we ended up with our third choice, the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Definitely a cool spot and we will be back. Just seemed weird that they ran out of basic stuff for their small menu and didn't just run to a store and get more. read more

Anna Maria is one of my favorite areas/ beaches in all of Fl, and discovering this lovely little cafe only made me fall in love all the more! While I went the inside wasn't open, but they have a stunning back patio/ sitting area where there's a window to order so it was okay. The patio sits on part of the canal, so it's really serene, just gorgeous. This place is obviously popular too, because the line was really long the entire time we were there. Unfortunately, this meant we had to wait quite awhile, I mean over 30 minutes just to order, but it was still definitely worth it. (we also went right after Christmas and I think there was wayyy more people vacationing nearby than normal so that didn't help) But once again: Worth it!! They have delicious açaí bowls as well as avocado toast, those are what I really recommend. And of course, as with any cafe they have a good selection of coffee as well that's pretty good. I didn't catch the owners name but he was a hoot and so friendly, you can tell he loves what he does so it made me even more happy to be there. This will definitely be a spot I hit up regularly when coming back to AMI! read more
