    This is a beautiful cafe filled with lots of delicious pastries and coffee in the heart of Sarasota's Rosemary District. I enjoy coming to this cafe to catch up with friends. The service is impeccable and the workers are incredibly kind people, who are also very attentive to allergies!

    Such a comfortable place to sit and have coffee and breakfast. The food was very flavorful. The owner is a Sarasota city resident who is also the chef. There is parking on the street. Inside and outside tables are available. Highly recommend.

    Absolutely outstanding experience! I visit Sarasota often to see a close friend, and one thing we always do is try new coffee shops. This café truly stood out above the rest. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place is something special. The menu is incredibly creative and elevated—far beyond a typical breakfast spot. Dishes like the lobster omelette and Belgian waffle bacon egg sandwich were beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into both the food and presentation. I brought my son down for his Christmas present, and this was our very first breakfast of the trip. What a memorable way to start our time here. The atmosphere, the quality of the food, and the overall experience made it feel like a true treat. This café has officially become a must-visit for us every time we’re in Sarasota. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional coffee and a truly unique breakfast experience!

    Lovely place. You can really feel immersed in a European experience here with the way the outdoor tables are set up. Very cute area quiet and peaceful. Great delicious food. I got a pistachio latte that was absolutely delicious. Shared an entree with my partner and the chef split it in advance for us on two separate plates which I found very thoughtful of her! Thank you and will definitely be back!

    Blvd Cafe is a hidden gem in Sarasota. It's a small cafe tucked under a red awning, serving delicious coffee and food. We arrived at about ten thirty on a Saturday, immediately seated at a table and began looking at the menu. The French toast and ham and cheese omelette were both delicious, freshly cooked with excellent ingredients. The berries with the toast were at the peak of ripeness. I also had a pistachio latte, which was served at the perfect temperature with a nice foam layer. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.
