It was delectable . I did not go wrong. They sold everything from regular coffee, espresso, tea, frozen lemonade, wine, beer, frozen, hot chocolate! Also, if you were hungry, they sold a few different kinds of snacks. While you were waiting on your drinks or snacks, they had a whole entire back of the store that you could look at. It had handmade items by local artists. Consisting off of things from necklaces & earrings, to photographs and shell art. What a wonderful eclectic store. I will be back if I'm in the area.

Just be a smidge patient. That said, the service overall is very polite. I went for coffee and then a couple hours later when back for a gluten free coffee cake and the worker (maybe owner(?)) remembered me. Give it a try and support local!

You'll instantly feel at peace as you walked through manicured garden gate and enter a gorgeous and expansive shaded garden which is perfect for a gossip sesh with a friend. Once inside, you can check out all of their curated cookbooks, mugs, plates, and other home decor that will remind you of your beach vacation. The boy and I grabbed a cold brew and iced coffee and it was the perfect afternoon pick me up. They use pebble ice which made our drink all the more enjoyable. Baristas were super friendly as well.

However, once you get there, it does not disappoint. If I lived in the area, I could definitely see myself hanging out during a work day with my laptop; while there is limited indoor seating, there is a fantastic outdoor space and a cute boutique inside. The coffee was good and service was personable.

The only donut place that I could find during our weekend stay…read more Small place with lots of variety from desserts to savory treats and even gluten free options. **My issue with this place is that the donuts and bagels that I was interested in were out in the open and uncovered so there were flies over them!!** I purchased a maple glazed vanilla filled donut, an apple fritter, 6 donut holes, and 5 different bagels. I spent near $30 and most of it went to the trash as they were hard and not fresh at all. There was only one young man working, and while nice, he seemed bored and uninviting. Needless to say, I wouldn't return unless they get a covered donut display at least.

Avocado toast etc. plus homemade muffins and pastries. The service was perfect! Highly recommend checking this out if you are in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island.

We arrived at Anna Maria Island early in the morning to see the turtles. After a long day of…read morehelping the turtles, we were hungry, so we decided to have breakfast at Fifty Three Fifty. I'm glad we chose this place because I ordered the 86M Sandwich, which turned out to be one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. The egg was beautifully thick, and the spicy pepper and bacon jam were perfection. I highly recommend it. The service was excellent. Everyone was very sweet and welcoming. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to relax after our morning activities. I will definitely be returning on our next visit to the island.

Date of Visit: Nov. 15, 2025…read more The wife and I were on another road trip from the other side of the Skyway. We had stopped at another place for a beverage but were not hungry at the time. We did a little bit of shopping and worked up an appetite and wanted to stop by this burger joint I had visited a few months back but the lot was full and no place to park, we kept going down the boulevard. We weren't sure if we wanted to give this another try but we did, mainly because they had spots open in their parking lot. We made our way across the street and entered the cafe. Lucky there were two openings at the bar. We sit at the bar usually cause the service is better. And this where it was dejavu all over again. We had been here several before and really had good service. Took a while the get the bar tenders attention, again. We finally did and ordered a couple beers, then he disappeared when we were ready to order and the other people behind the bar ignored us till we spoke up, "We're ready to order" and the one girl looked at us like deer in the headlights. She had to go and get her gadget to place the order. The menu had several good choices but I wasn't taking any chances, I ordered the double smash-burger with fries and the wife the classic club with slaw. After ordering I could see they were still working on the place after last years storms, the kitchen was set-up in front out of a big trailer and for as many people this place can seat at least 200, there were only two unisex bathrooms, wow. The food arrived and it looked pretty good. I liked the burger, not the best I had but fair. The fries were average as well. My wife's club was huge, she could only eat half of it and she said it was good as well. The best part was the slaw, she had me taste it and it was very good. Once again, when we were ready for our check the bartender was more interested in the college football game on the TV, that took a moment to get his attention. If you can look past the below average service and just above average food, the ambiance is the best part of this place. Right on the shores of the Gulf of MEXICO...Peace.

In a gluten-free cone, was paired Pistachio and Cappuccino. The pistachio was smooth, nutty, and authentic, not overly sweet, while the cappuccino delivered a perfect coffee kick with a velvety texture. The cone held up well and didn't get soggy, which is always a plus for gluten-free options. The gelato shop was cozy and quaint, perfect for a pick me up! The ladies at the gelato shop let us try as many flavors as needed before choosing the perfect combo. PS I do not recommend the Oreo or dark chocolate flavors. Yuck.
