They have very cozy indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly and engaging staff. The owner was present and happy to chat with us with helpful tips about visiting the area. You can tell she takes a lot of pride in her business and the quality of product they deliver. In addition to caffeinated beverages and bakery items, they have an impressive menu of sandwiches and lunch items. We kept things simple by ordering an iced cafe mocha, a dark roast coffee, and a chocolate croissant. You can tell they use high quality ingredients since the iced cafe mocha had chocolate flakes in them, but somehow managed to accent the beverage perfectly without making it too sweet. The chocolate croissant tasted absolutely delicious and had a wonderful chocolate filling inside unlike most traditional recipes...we both agreed it was great and tasty. The owner mentioned she gets her croissants from Europe and does the filling and final baking on premises to serve it hot. I'm not aware of any bakeries that go to all that trouble, but it makes for a high quality product. All in all, an excellent coffee and pastry experience at By The Bay Bistro...it's a place I hope to return to and would recommend to others visiting the Venice, Florida area.

It was served with a generous side salad and fabulous vinaigrette dressing. The portion of quiche was generous and so was the salad, however I was slightly disappointed in the atmosphere in there it felt more like a cafeteria than it did a cozy French bistro. There are some great looking desserts in the front case however I was full from lunch so I didn't try anything. Always leave something for next time they say... I'll be back to give it a try again.
