I came here with a friend for breakfast yesterday. The omelette combo was excellent. I did not want any meat so they let me pick 4 options instead of 3. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would come back here again. read more

This quiet little place has amazing food! Very good service and prices were pretty good too. I had the count of Monte Christo. A honey ham, turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich made with French toast bread. It was very good. A side of grits to go with it. I tried to get a soda water with it, but they don't have carbonated water, so I ended up just getting a water. I can see this becoming a regular stop for whenever I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Great little restaurant. Good food and worth the short wait time. It's busy all the time because it's great read more

4.5* Very busy for Sunday brunch, waited about 30 minutes. Food was above average; my son devoured his chocolate chip pancakes and I enjoyed my "key west Benedict (shrimp and lobster). Lobster was chewy and the poached eggs were also a tad overcooked (- half-star) but enjoyed the dish overall and liked the option for fresh fruit instead of grits or potatoes. read more

Food was awesome! Lobster shrimp omelette actually had a lot of meat in it. Sausage gravy is like your grandmas it's so good. Staff was friendly and the establishment was clean. read more

Back for breakfast with my wife. This spot is just a great spot especially for breakfast. Located in Nokomis it a little out of the way for those of us who live in the Punta Gorda area. Staff members are friendly and busy the decor is homey. Eat on the porch or inside. Many breakfast choices all of them prepared from scratch, as stated in an earlier review grab your main squeeze for a breakfast date and enjoy the uniqueness of this charming Cottage read more

Good ambience, food and service. The trouble came when the waitress returned with my debit card and receipt and I saw they snuck an additional charge for using the card instead of cash. I have never experienced this at any other restaurant and I think it's rotten and underhanded. We will not return to this establishment. read more

Tried this place for the first time today for breakfast. We are creatures of habit and usually go somewhere else but i was told to give it a try and we were not disappointed. Gwen the waitress was amazing knew the menu and gave great recommendations. Price were amazing and quality and quantity of food also. It's nothing fancy but cute and clean We ate outside Give it a try read more

Another amazing breakfast at the Breakfast Cottage! The food is so great here, never disappointed. Lovely place to sit outside by the tree with great waitress tending our party of 6. I had the corned beef hash eggs Benedict. read more

The Breakfast Cottage - Corned beef hash Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nokomis, Florida

Cute little cottage turned restaurant w painted eclectic decor. Extensive b'fast menu with some unusual variations on Omelettes, Benedicts & Pancakes Hubby had a Bloody Mary & I had a mimosa. We both ordered omelettes & neither were anything special. Mine ( Greek) was overcooked but they did replace w/ a less cooked one. Cheese grits were merely grits w/ cheese sprinkled on top Our son had Waffle, bacon & OJ, he had no complaints. Server was attentive & friendly. Tab was a little pricey compared to other b'fast places we've been on our visit, for example, mimosa $15 for a small flute that lots of other places charge $5 Can't say I'd recommend when there are so many other choices nearby read more

I went with a friend from out of State hoping to find a great new restaurant and wasnt disappointed! The parking is so so but the place itself is cheery & charming and the food delicious! I'll be going back! read more

I needed breakfast 10:30 on Sunday. The Breakfast Cottage was very busy so I wondered if I'd get a seat. I got one facing the bathroom. So much for ambience, watching folks hurriedly enter and then exit zipping pants. I ordered the Monte Cristo and an unsweetened ice tea. Both arrived super quickly. The Monte Cristo was tasty! I would definitely return here just for another Monte Cristo! I finished my tea and was not offered a refill and the check appeared without asking. It was obvious they wanted to turn this bathroom view table asap. read more

I have never had a bad breakfast here. I have been coming here for at least 5 years , I love the coffee, eggs, meats and grits . The staff is great, ambience is fine ( not my style) but fine. My wife likes silver dollar pancakes and they're always happy to make them for her. The restaurant is very clean as are the bathrooms. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the prices are what you expect to pay for a damm good meal . read more

Very delicious and home cooked food. We had breakfast and it was very good, including the potatoes, grits, corned beef hash, omelette, and monte Cristo sandwich. Prices were average for breakfast. Service was good. The place has limited seating so we waited around 15 minutes for inside seating at 10:30am on a Sunday. They do have more tables outside on the deck under a huge tree. read more

Wonderful little place. Inside is so cute. I got the best omelet ever! Was so surprised. Roasted veggies, which included eggplant, carrots, squash, green beans, peppers and cheese. Sounds a little off.... Right?! Oh no, quite the opposite. Was absolutely spectacular!!!!!! And many thanks to our lovely waitress Jacquie, who was so sweet and attentive. Really a gem of a place. read more

My favorite place to go for breakfest whether it's with friends for family! Feels like your back in grandmas house and the staff is just as kind. It's cool how you can purchase the art there as well, one of the few spots it's all reasonable also. The food is great home cooking and I always keep coming back! read more

Just a few new photos, still awesome today on Mother's Day. Yelp won't let me just add photos to past reviews. Check out previous posts. read more

French toast was so yummy. There is a friendly, home town environment here. Local at for sale. They put a fun spin on all the pancakes, French toast and waffles. This place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Food was delicious, service was good, ambiance was nice and at a good price. I ordered a veggie omelette with potatoes, side of crispy bacon and rye toast, my wife ordered one of the specials a breakfast egg and cheese burrito with potatoes. The Breakfast Cottage is a great place for Breakfast. read more

The food was definitely amazing, a little home-cooked place is one of the best places to eat. Nice service, nice waitress. Pancakes were amazing. The only reason why I am giving a 4 star review is because it is fairly dirty. Don't know if this is the usual experience, but there was visual dirt everywhere. Kinda off putting. That's the only thing I'd change about this place. Really good breakfast. read more

Fantastic menu and delicious food too! Great service and atmosphere . Friendly staff

We both had the corned beef hash eggs benedict. I wish I took a picture. It was delicious. Runny yoke, crispy corn beef and English muffin. Great hollandaise sauce. The boss just said she was very pleased with brunch. I agree, it was top notch. Service was friendly and prompt. The restaurant was cozy and very Florida, in a great way. I will be back for sure! read more

Food fabulous, hardy portions, quality product and well prepared and cooked. Service is top notch. Your coffee mugs will never go empty before the next pour is right there topping it off. Great coffee. Atmosphere is spot on, has that beachy, bright and cheerful vibe and lots of fun decor. Somethings can be purchased pieces of local artwork. We were visiting for a wedding and we had breakfast at this lively establishment 2 of the 3 days of our visit. Can't go wrong and you won't be disappointed. Happy as a clam. read more

The minute you walk in The Breakfast Cottage, you are made to feel at home. The warm, Old-Florida feel, bright and cheery decor (those table tops!) and genuinely caring wait staff makes this our go-to Breakfast stop. The food is outstanding and plentiful, no skimping on ingredients here (just check out their omlettes!) On crazy busy mornings you may have to wait a little longer, but NOT the "25 minutes" as posted by another reviewer. (We were there during your tantrum) The owner - and for that matter, every staff member - goes out of their way to make your meal as delightful as you expected. The Breakfast Cottage is a true gem, and we will continue to patronize it as long as the coffee keeps flowing. (Black Gold brand - awesome!) read more

What a cute little place. Love the decor and love that you can purchase artwork that is being displayed throughout the restaurant. It's super coastal eclectic. The service was great as soon as you walked in from the hostess to our sweet server. The food was delicious. Loved my pancakes. Definitely fluffy and homemade. read more

Perfect small place for a home cooked breakfast (or lunch)...great food, great service and nice, relaxing ambience and atmosphere (small enough that you have to talk low if you don't want the next table to know your business) lol We've been a couple of times and plan on returning time and again read more

Delicious breakfast. I had the breakfast sandwich perfectly cooked. Everything looks so good can't wait to try it again. Service was great too read more

I recently stopped into this spot for brunch with my son. It's a small restaurant inside of a renovated house. The staff was very friendly and the place was about half occupancy when I stopped around noon. The food was prepared quickly and was extremely tasty. My son got pancakes and of course I stole a bite or two and they were amazing also. read more

The Breakfast Cottage - Mediterranean Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nokomis, Florida

My family and I went here at like an hour and 15 mins (I didn't check the time) before close on a Sunday so it wasn't too busy, there was about 4-5 other parties there. The place is kinda small, but cozy and the bathroom was nice and clean. However, our server just randomly left mid order without saying anything? I understood she had to grab something after she got back, but could have at least finished my brother's order or say something. She only came back like twice, once for a refill for my dad's coffee and at the end when it was too late to say anything about my food. My food was the stuffed French toast with the fruit compote, I didn't even eat a quarter of it because of how seedy it was and thought there was gonna be more of the cheese. (I've never eaten fruit compote and wanted to try it). She left it on our bill after it was sent back and just kept trying to do her closing side work while ignoring us. I understand wanting to go home, but as someone who works in the restaurant industry I usually end up staying 30 minutes past my scheduled time anyway to do side work. The rest of my family had mediocre food (mostly pancakes), crispy on the edge and a bit undercooked in the middle. Overall, the taste wasn't terrible for my family, but the textures and service were off. Might try again in the future, but at an earlier time. read more

My favorite breakfast place when i visit my brother! We almost always sit outside- all of the servers are amazing. I had the avocado toast this time with egg and feta on top and oh my goodness I've been wanting it every morning for breakfast since I've had it MUST try if you're anywhere near the area! read more

Haven't been to this breakfast spot in a while. There are so many breakfast spots in our area and most of them are pretty good. Unfortunately we did not have a good experience here. My wife's egg on her avocado toast was stone cold. Our waitress never came back to check on our food and we waited a half hour for our food, so she was to hungry to wait. When the waitress finally came , she offered to bring a new egg but it was too late. My Reuben was good but nothing special. Our waitress just seemed like she didn't want to be there. They are put on a 5% service charge for using a credit card. Cute as ever inside and out however we won't be returning! read more

Was this nestled on the beach in a trendy shopping area? No. Was it secluded along a shaded bike path? No. Was it a gem that sparkled and shined at every moment? Yes. I choose this because of the pictures posted online. When I arrived I was welcomed by "friendly" and accommodated by hearing me. I ordered a latte and was advised to get the pumpkin spice cold brewed one. What came was just that, with a mound of mouse on top. This was delicious. I did not drink it all as sweet thinks in coffee are not my thing. Vegetarian alert! I had the vegetable eggs Benedict with very crispy potatoes. I do not know all the chef did, but it was perfect, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Go here! read more

I've been here a few times now and it truly never fails. This is classic breakfast at its finest.

Had breakfast there this morning for the first time in a long time. The food was excellent. My omelette was perfectly prepared and very tasty. Crispy potatoes. Huge portion-- enough that I brought home half for tomorrow morning. Coffee was really good, too. Food came out quick and our server was super friendly. All in all, a great experience. Will definitely be back! read more

Very poor and slow service. Had waitress who was also the owner, she was rude and inattentive. Do not recommend this place at all. There are many other better places for breakfast in the area. read more

My favorite breakfast place in Venice! Such a cute ambiance and great selection of food!!

Food and service was very good but beware: they charge you extra for using a credit card.

Delicious breakfast quick service. You can tell it was prepared by a chef. Eggs Benedict were perfect. Definite recommend.

I been to Breakfast cottage several times and always enjoyed my meal. I've been craving a good Belgian waffle for months but I'm rarely up and out before 2:00, closing time for most breakfast spots. In a nutshell; flavor was good, and it was hot, but missed the mark on texture. The outside was not crispy and the inside not fluffy. Kind of soggy outside and doughy inside. It took a very long time, for just a waffle, they weren't too busy. I silently ate 1/2, wasn't worth the fuss to send it back and wait for another. Oh I'll go back, but probably won't order the waffle again. read more
