We were in and out in no time, the Waffle was light and fluffy as it should be and the Mango added a nice touch along with the whip cream...did not need any heavy syrup at all. The Omletet was very cheesy and cooked perfectly as well....I'd have added ketchup but got the side-eye for suggesting it. Highly recommend making this a stop if you're in the area! We were in and out in no time as the service from Juana was excellent. The ambiance is bright and very much " mango-themed"...a fun spot for breakfast or lunch!

They seem to wait on tables as a group so no one really checks in during breakfast. One person seats you and gets drinks, one person takes your order and another person delivers food with the check... but no one typically checks if you need drinks, condiments, etc. we didn't have any refills on today's visit and the table next to us I guess didn't drop off the check with food so they waited 30'minutes before going up to the bar and finding someone to hunt down a check.

The Myakka was eggs benedict sausage patties, tomato, on a grilled biscuit and smothered in sausage gravy. 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!

Visited on Dec 27 for a late brunch. The place was understaffed and waitress seemed disengaged and…read moreuninterested. The food took a long time to arrive and she never acknowledged the delay. Another, much friendlier waitress did apologize, which we appreciated. We waited too long for the check, even though the restaurant was nearly empty and our waitress was chatting with staff. I have worked in busy restaurants myself, so this level of inattentiveness is not excusable. The food was mediocre and there are plenty of better, healthier options in Sarasota. Several tables were left uncleared for an excessive amount of time, and when we were seated, our table was still unpleasantly wet from cleaning.

From the moment you…read morewalk in, you're greeted with incredibly warm, kind service that instantly makes you feel at home. The food completely delivers too--the patty melt was out of this world. Perfectly crisp bread, super fresh, and packed with flavor. The home fries were a standout as well... they tasted just like something my mom or grandma would make--lightly pan-fried with garlic and seasoning, simple and perfect. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon--and she never eats bacon--but said it was delicious and ended up finishing all of it, which says everything. Coffee was solid, the entire place was spotless, and the interior has that cozy, homey feel that makes you want to hang out a little longer. Without a doubt, I'll be back.

Service was very friendly and attentive. Toddler got Mickey Mouse waffles that he loved. I got salmon crostini which were huge and delicious and my husband had breakfast plate which was great. We also had a side of fruits and one cappuccino and one mocha. Luckily the had decaf in both. Greta place! Highly recommend especially for kids.

There was some cheesecake flavor component to it. Griddle flight- strawberry Nutella, Boston crème, butternut pecan 7/10: Strawberry Nutella is a classic that you can't go wrong with.

What a gem for breakfast!…read more I visited two days in a row, and both experiences were amazing but the second visit completely won me over. On day one, I had the eggs Benedict and the ricotta pancakes both were absolutely delicious. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and so flavorful. But day two? That's when I fell in love. I ordered the shrimp and grits along with the crunchy French toast... and wow. Easily the best I've ever had. I've tried shrimp and grits and French toast at plenty of places, but nothing compares everything was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Such a great experience and an unforgettable meal. Huge thank you to the chef for making the start of my birthday week so special

I always like to try out local French bakery when I am in the area because I love real crossiants!…read moreIt brought me to Merci cafe today when I am visiting Sarasota. The classic (plain) crossiant I had was not bad, it was crispy, but the texture was lacking layers. It didn't give me the wow factor, I had better ones at other French bakery. I also ordered a almon croissant, the stuffing inside the crossiant was just too sweet, not to my like. Hubby liked his omelet croissant, the portion of salad is bigger than what he had at other French bakery. He also had the specialty cafe, mushallow latte, cold, he liked it. We were given a warm greeting when we walked in. We had our dog with us in a stroller, we were going to sit in the outdoor seating area, but they welcomed us to sit inside. That's nice of them. I would come back next time to try out other dish than crossiant. Benedict crossiant looks yummy

I love…read moreeverything French and this place is definitely French, from the owners, the background music, the modest décor, and of course, the food. My breakfast choice was Croque Madame, which came with a small salad. The simple salad came with a generous amount of vinaigrette dressing. As for the Croque Madame, which is basically a ham & cheese toasted sandwich with an egg on top, was exactly what I would expect dining in a small café in Paris. There was that crunchy bread and mild cheese flavor, a bit of ham, and the egg. I did ask for the egg to be cooked over easy, so the photo suffers a little by not having a beautiful sunny side up egg on top. Service was excellent, friendly and attentive. Merci Café also has a selection of bakery items they make themselves. I picked up a Chocolate Croissant for my wife, who told me it was very good and was surprised I went to breakfast without her. I can look forward to a return visit with her soon.
