Off the beaten path but worth getting off West Venice and you will find a breakfast or lunch that will not only be affordable but a 5 star dining experience . Grab a window table and watch the air traffic or sit at the counter and the chef will provide some entertainment. read more

We love the omelets at this place! Great service, excellent, fresh ingredients. We had the Mexican omelet with jalapeños and a ham/tomato omelet. Both were great, as was the Venice coffee and raisin toast!! read more

Best chili around, delicious burgers, surprisingly varied menu and the friendly service, good view of the airport activity and the ability to have your food custom cooked to your preferences make this a hidden gem. Try the chili cheese fries, the menu options or get a wonderful omelet. It's all good. Nothing fancy, but really good food. Breakfast and lunch only, so get in early. read more

Great lunch with one of my new friends here in Venice. Chef Tony and his team definitely know there way around a kitchen. I had the shrimp curry and would order it again on a second. My friend had the veggie burger and said it was great as well! read more

Everything was amazing! This place was a great find! Will definitely come back soon! We wanted to order one of everything we saw coming out of the kitchen!! Staff was so nice also! read more

This place is was absolutely delicious. Chef Tony is not only an awesome chef, but also fun to watch. The Caribbean flare added a lot to the food and the music was great. The restaurant is small, but worth the wait. I recommend sitting at the bar, fun to watch the chefs at work. read more

Would've never spotted this place, so thank you sweet Baby Jesus for Yelp! Called in to order the blackened tilapia sandwich with sweet potato fries. Seriously amazing. My only regret is not asking about the specials menu when I called, because I was so bummed to see they had conch chowder. Seriously, who has conch chowder north of key west these days?! Tiny, quaint spot located in the airport hidden off the main path, but definitely worth it. I can't wait to work in this area again, because I'll be back! PS- the breakfast menu looked delish and the lady eating at the counter said breakfast is to-die-for. read more

GREAT place for breakfast. Wait staffs always very pleasant and accommodating. Menu is varied and it's all good.

Awesome,friendly service and great food. Nice view when planes lands. Small size place but big on taste and friendly service.

Today was my very first visit here. I am new to Venice area, my son and daughter in law brought me. I loved the quaint atmosphere, very friendly staff. I ordered the Pilot's Choice Cuban Sandwich. It was AMAZING! I tried the chilli fries..YUMMO! I had a bite of my son's burger.WOW! Kudos to Chef Tony! I will be back very soon! read more

Delicious. Quaint little place in an airport! But small airport and parking was easy. Didn't need to go through security. Easy in and out. Chef Tony greeted us when we came in. The server was gruff but attentive and did his job well. Food was outstanding! We had fish tacos and the pilots cuban. Yum Yum!! Recommend both! read more

Love this place for a great breakfast & lunch. They have the breakfast basics and some tasty specials

My husband chose this place after a visit to the beach. He had read the great reviews about the chili. We were driving through Venice on our way to Tampa from Miami, and wanted to have lunch. When we drove up I was very apprehensive about the place as it's in an airport. What a fantastic meal! The kids had burgers which were all great! We ordered some chili to try and it definitely lives up to the great reviews and awards! One of our teens had the Rueben sandwich which was excellent! I had the Mahi Rueben which was out of this world! What a wonderful Caribbean twist to the Rueben! We also had the chili fries and onion rings. Everything was fantastic! On the way out we noticed they had curry goat as a special and we took one to go. Wow! Wow! Wow! Took me back to St Lucia! That's where the chef and owner is from. Very nice man. Goes around talking to the guests. You can see the small private planes taking off and landing. Great place and hope to make it back one day! Visited January 2016 read more

A hidden gem! Between the menu and daily specials, there's a wide variety to choose from. Some items are unexpected like oxtail or rabbit stew. Today, I went with the Cuban which was outstanding. This place is great! The service, the attitude, the food, the chef...fantastic! I've never felt so welcomed in a restaurant. read more

This was our first visit to Suncoast Café and we had a great experience. We stopped in for breakfast around 9a and we're immediately greeted by our server. Coffee was excellent and they kept our mugs full. We ordered our food and it was freshly cooked in the kitchen that is fully visible. Even though they had a good size crowd, our food made it out in 15 minutes. Our meals were cooked perfectly and we're full of flavor. We found our new breakfast "go to" restaurant. It is right on the airport grounds and you can watch planes take off and land from your table. read more

Great. Extremely good service. Clean. Great views of planes landing. Very good food with a very diverse menu. Even the oatmeal is good. read more

Amazing Cubans here but everything is good. Chips are homemade, and everything is prepared fresh, right in front of you. Great lunch spot.

Food was fabulous, atmosphere is great (reggae music in the morning makes my day), and the people here are AWESOME!! This is just a few minutes from the beach and the kids loved watching planes take off while we waited. Highly HIGHLY recommended! read more

Great service and a good quality Cuban sandwich.

Love this place! Tony makes you feel at home. Love the vibe! Try the St.Lucian, fantastic.

We love coming here for breakfast. The food is always yummy. Can't wait to try the lunch.

Delish- pancakes light fluffy full of flavor, breakfast burrito with house made roast pork- again so much flavor Tony the chef is very entertaining- we sat at the bar- will be back soon! read more

Wow! This is a true gem. Cool dining experience with small planes right in front of you. Food was excellent and service was great even for our large party. read more

Delish!!! The food was great, the service excellent. We sat at the counter and enjoyed watching the crew at work. It is easy to understand why the tables stay full! read more

Suncoast Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, Florida

What a wonderful place! I found it by searching for breakfast places. When we arrived we were greeted warmly, and had coffee right away. The menu had some traditional breakfast items but some unique ones as well. The portions were large. I had the St. Lucien quesadilla. It was amazing. And it came with plantains as an added treat. My son had chocolate chip pancakes. They were huge! Our waitress was attentive without being annoying. We left very full and very happy. If we lived local we'd definitely go back. If we visit Venice again it will be on our to do list. read more

Breakfast was delicious! I had the Burrito Veracruzano which was tasty and fresh. My husband had the Mexican omelette. The place is small, but welcoming and the service is great. We will be repeat customers for sure! read more

This is a very good small restaurant with authentic Caribbean island fare prepared by chef Tony DuBoulay from Saint Lucia. The jerk chicken is particularly good and the fried plantain done to perfection. Colorful yellow rice with a different variety of beans is a pleasant surprise compared to the white rice and black or kidney beans one usually finds in, say, Jamaican or Cuban food. There is also a very good salad menu. Entree prices around $12 are very fair considering that you will probably need to take some away for a later snack. Our service was very friendly with the chef himself coming twice to our table. The restaurant has a counter with comfortable high-back stools facing the kitchen, if you like to observe food preparation, and about nine tables with a nice open view of Venice airport. It can be very busy on weekend breakfasts due to its popularity with folks arriving in their small planes and taxiing up to the place, and that in itself makes it delightfully different. You can always try for the slight lull in between breakfast and lunch. Decor could be a bit more colorful, and maybe that is something to do with the airport building lease terms, but hey, you are coming here for the delicious food. read more

Tony and his crew are outstanding. I am fairly regular have tried most of their dishes but always keep returning to that famous Cuban sandwich. Lacy provides excellent service. I'll keep coming back read more

The Suncoast Cafe did not disappoint, the food was delicious. Tony is an awesome cook

The best breakfast dishes on Venice Island hands down! The atmosphere is awesome, like we're in the Caribbean!

Had breakfast today at SC. Delightful experience. We did not have anything fancy. Standard eggs and ham. Veggie omelette. Service was excellent. Food was great. Prices were fair. An additional bonus was that everyone seemed to know each other. To me that's a plus as you never want to serve your friends a bad meal. Not fancy. Good food. Fair prices. Easy parking. Great service. What more could you want. read more

The stuffed French toast is a must have!!!! Friendly people and fast service. The chili is amazing and chef tony is very friendly and attentive. If you want a good home cooked meal then this place is a must. read more

My favorite place to eat! The food is excellent and the staff is great. Their biscuits and gravy can't be beat! The conch soup is full of flavor and the right amount of spice. I love the Caribbean style food that the chef makes his own. Any time of day is the perfect time to eat here..I've enjoyed everything I've tried. Suncoast cafe has a nice reward club card, too! read more

What a cute place! There's a great view of the airstrip right outside the window next to the tables. The menu has interesting items, unusual for a small local place. The server was awesome. read more

Thank you Yelp, what a great find. We never would have found this without the yelp reviews. It is tucked into the Venice airport terminal and easy to miss but don't miss it. My husband had the breakfast burrito and home fries and deemed it tasty. I had their French toast that was so moist and flavorful. Fresh fruit was very fresh. Can't wait to return. read more
