It was not easy. People had parked wonky causing chaos. When we were leaving, an extremely large truck parked so close to me, even with his side mirrors closed leaving was an issue for me. The 3 year old was not able to get into her seat that way and the other side was almost as close. It took me 20 minutes to leave while repeating to the same car over and over I was leaving but needed to get a child into her car seat before I could drive away. This part of the experience has me not wanting to go back. Maybe just never on a weekend. 28.0.2026

I want to like this place but now after multiple visits I have been disappointed by the quality and…read morestaff and won't be coming back. The outside is so nice and inside is decorated well (super dark though - poor lighting especially in the coffee shop). I first went a year ago and the coffee was poorly made (the beans they used then were from one of my favorite local roasters...the espresso shots were pulled incorrectly). Same thing this visit, everything was bitter and tasted burnt (we got multiple drinks for my family both visits). I asked about the beans and their onsite roaster to learn if they roasted everything or if they also used a local roaster and the barista was clueless and said "well they are beans and that's a roaster thing I guess?" The first visit the staff were just rude both the coffee shop and the overpriced store. This time no one was managing the store front and the baristas were so confused, could not keep orders straight and a line grew for people at the coffee shop that just wanted to buy something from the store. My son had ordered a croissant ($7) they called my name, my son went to grab it for me and the guy told him that is not his. I was there with him, told him my name and he said, no it is for someone else. So it sat there getting cold for almost 10mins while we waited for our coffee (meanwhile they were giving other people the wrong items). When my coffee order was ready I asked again and mentioned no one had taken the croissant and if I could now take it, he looked at me and almost said no but the other barista was like yea that is his. The outside gives this place the second star. Sadly the change in ownership has not improved the organization or level of quality. This past visit was on a Wednesday and not a peak time. I may have also just come on two really bad days looking at the other reviews. The prices warrant a better more consistent experience in my opinion.

Such a lovely market/ shopping place on Anna Maria Island! It's very unassuming from the outside…read moreand you can't even tell how big is actually is until you venture inside. There's a little bit of something for everyone here, whether it's cute beach clothes, actual vintage clothes, jewelry both maximalist and more dainty, books for the avid reader, and toys and a whole kids section. They have a wine nook for those interested, and an adorable section of beach-themed Christmas ornaments, some even made from actual oysters. And naming each options of goods, they all have their own sizable sections. A big section for jewelry, an entire book nook, and big section for vintage clothes, etc. It's a lot of fun to wander through all of it. I would say the prices are a little higher than I prefer for most of the items. But they seem to be pretty nice quality so at least there's that. The gal that works behind the counter most days is also super friendly. Don't miss this adorable store towards the far end of Pine Ave on AMI!

And when I'm at the beach, I like to scope as many tacky beach souvenir shops as possible. It's fun to compare booby bottle-openers, appliquéd seashell treasure boxes, and airbrushed beach towels. Bridge Street Bazaar delivers on all those counts, and then some. Unfortunately, its cheesiness is undermined by some of the useful and/or cool inventory they carry. Like kites, sunscreen, and Sanuk skimmers. *sigh* Guess they can't *all* be pure Velveeta. Also, I collect snow globes everywhere I go -- what? that's totally normal -- and BSB had at least *SIX* different ones to choose from. A rarity any snow globe connoisseur will surely appreciate.

Island Bazaar Gift Shop:…read more Island Bazaar Gift Shop has a wide variety of souvenirs and gifts, making it a convenient stop for finding something to remember your trip by. The shop is well-organized, and there are plenty of unique items to choose from. Although they used to have pet gifts and none were found on this visit, in fact we bought nothing... Our group found the prices to be a bit steep, which made it difficult to justify purchases. Island Bazaar Gift Shop is okay to visit if you're in the area and looking for souvenirs, but there's definitely room for improvement in terms of pricing and items presented. It's decent but it didn't quite meet expectation
