    Mocha

    Fantastic drink, service, and ambiance. This coffee shop does it all very well. I didn't try any of the food, but it looked delicious. The mocha I had was wonderful. Outside, it was a perfect day to hangout and the area to sit outside is welcoming and pleasant. The negative would be that there was a long line because there was only one barista taking orders and drinks, not sure if that's normal or not. The drink was also pretty expensive. I'm willing to overlook those two things though because overall, a fantastic experience!!

    Biscuit Sammy

    I will be a little bold here and say this is the best coffee shop in Sarasota. In terms of food, coffee, and ambience, it wins all hands down. What really makes this coffee shop special to me is the variety of food and how fresh and delicious it is. Some of my favorites are the bagel sandwich, parfait, and biscuit sandwich. Their bacon is next level and the egg they use on their sandwiches is really well seasoned which just makes everything extra tasty. Coffee is a little pricey but worth every penny. They have great quality beans and exceptional service. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. The hours are pretty short (but very impressive considering only two people work here!)

    We stopped in here for breakfast before heading back home to Indianapolis. We each ordered a cappuccino with almond milk and a Breakfast Sammy with cheddar. We also got a blueberry cake donut and a pistachio muffin to share because they didn't have a whole lot of pastry options. There was only one person working when we went and it was very busy, so it was a little bit of a wait. Granted it was a Friday morning, so that could be why (or just because they are great). The coffee only came in one size, which I was a little sad about since we needed the pep for driving, but that's okay because they were delicious. The breakfast sandwiches came out super hot and after they cooled down a bit we devoured them. The parmesan egg was incredible!! So savory. We split the pistachio muffin and blueberry cake donut later on during our drive. While both were great, we both wished we had each just gotten our own blueberry cake donut. It was so moist and filled to the brim with blueberries. A must have little treat if you stop in!

    Food menu, coffee menu

    Such a gem of a spot! The owners are a husband-and-wife team he crafts the coffee, and she makes everything homemade in the kitchen. They're originally from Australia and rotate their coffee roasters weekly, featuring espresso blends from all over the U.S. I had what might be the best coffee I've ever tasted: a single-origin Ethiopian blend from Portland, Oregon. We both ordered maple lattes and were blown away. Absolutely worth the stop! Well done !

    If you are a coffee connoisseur, don't waste your time going anywhere else, this place was amazing from the coffee to the food. The lines were long but well worth the wait, he pumped it out pretty quick.

    Cutest little coffee shop walking distance from the hospital. It gets pretty busy around noon but the coffee and food make it worth the wait!

    Avocado toast

    Awesome food and awesome coffee!! The avocado toast was delicious and they had about 4 different options so you can certainly get one you'll love. The coffee was made right then and there and it was great!!! Blueberry muffin was phenomenal I was

    Get yourself some sweet treats! Offering Gluten free options too!

    8.5/10 good stuff…read more ive had these donuts a few times. they're quite large so there's a lot to chew on. the flavors they have on display are also great but a lot of the time i do feel they are overly sweet (biggest recipient of this hinderance would be the cookie monster flavor, the icing is just too much) but it's not that bad a lot of the time as well. the service is good and the ambiance is also good. i do feel the timing of this association is quite rough though; only being open from 7:00am-2:00pm for a snoozer like me isn't great but i understand why that is.

This morning (January 30th, 2026) we arrived to pick up a box of pastries. The employee on duty was loudly taking a personal call, and refused to acknowledge us in any way. Not even eye contact or a gesture to say "one minute!" We stood there awkwardly waiting for her to finish, as she spoke of things we were not meant to hear. (Finances, payments, bills, etc). Only after concluding her call did she grudgingly acknowledge us, but it was with a bad attitude. She was immediately snappy, offered no greeting, apology or explanation, and rushed through our order. By the time she finally spoke to us (rudely no less), I was ready to walk out due to time constraints. I didn't appreciate the lack of professionalism from a place I frequent often and enjoy eating at. Sadly, it'll be back to Gold Star Donuts for us until the customer service team can improve on this. The donuts are great, but not good enough to wait 10 minutes for such poor treatment from staff.

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!
