15 Best Cafes near Nokomis

“Thank you so much Susan!!! And the other gentleman as well who helped me over the phone. We're in California and my mom is in Florida. She had no idea about this place and the story behind it. So I was able to bless my mom on her 70th birthday by purchasing a gift card over the phone. They made it easy for me by taking the time to make sure it all worked out accordingly. They had the table ready and the card displayed when she was able to come in. They even took a photo of my mom for me which I was hoping for, especially since I couldn't be there! Susan also wrote a Happy Birthday note on the card and was very sweet and accommodating. God bless you for your kind service and delicious menu choices for my mom on her special day!“

“First of all don't listen to the bad reviews bad reviews for this place just come from a bunch of whiners who probably complain about everything under the sun. Thank God for Wawa and especially this restaurant the sandwiches out of this place are the freshest and best tasting and the best value of any place in town they pack the meat and their sandwiches whether you getting a tuna fish sandwich or a cheesesteak I've been going here about 3 to 4 times a week. Their business model is exquisite the person or persons that thought of their business model are geniuses they streamline their operations to work perfectly.I went there yesterday for a sandwich the place was packed with spring breakers so it was busier than normal the one lady making my sandwich apologized to me for having to go to the back to get another pack of meat for my cheesesteak.As far as I was concerned there was no need for an apology it was obvious that the place was busy.After the worker apologized for having to go get another pack of meat my sandwich only took about another 2 minutes to complete the sandwich. Totally impressed. Great experience only wish I could give them 10 Stars.“

“My husband and I spent a beautiful morning at this little gem in Venice. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, I don’t have anything but praise! We’ve lived here for almost a year and hadn’t visited before. A friend gave us a gift card so it was a perfect reason to try it out. When we arrived the line was out the door (usually a good sign). We tried the quiche, the fougasse,the lemon pound cake and a croissant. Truly exquisite. What a treasure for our little town. We’ll be back next to try the coffee!“

“We went there 2x the several days we were down here. The place is very busy in the morning, but the most we had to wait was about 20 minutes (which was fine because the weather outside is wonderful)! The staff were all pleasant and they run this place like a well oiled machine. Food was great too, and you could do lunch or breakfast all day!“

“Decide at the last minute to stop here to avoid some traffic and parking downtown. Wasn't sure if we wanted to stay because of the limited menu. We all had the quiche Lorraine which was amazing! So glad we stayed! It was fluffy and creamy and was an unexpected delight. It is a cute little French cafe. I really wanted to have a cappuccino and forgot to order it when we left so I will need to come back! A nice surprise.“

“I have found a new favorite ! I stopped in for breakfast and I kept thinking I have to write something on this place! My food was served fresh & was delightful with every bite. My waitress was kind and bubbly & she didn't mind sharing her favorite choices as I was undecided what to get ! Five stars all the way across the board, cleanliness, the food, the prices , the cook, my wait time and my waitress mentioned her name was ashley. I hope to catch her everytime! I hope the staff and restaurant in general gets the recognition they deserve.Also- she has the cutest tattoos all over !“

“If you're into a variety of different kinds of omelets, this is your Place ,from lobster to shrimp. Just about anything you can imagine to Put in an omelet. But they also offer a variety of other ingredients. Definitely a place to stop and have breakfast. Very friendly staff definitely recommend this locationParking: We were there during an event, so it is to be expected. To have trouble finding a place to park“

“This place is awesome. My new go to joint when in the downtown Venice area. The outside patio are is dog friendly!!!! All the staff there are so warm and welcoming. Love chatting with all the laides there. The food is really good and love that they have alcohol alternatives even bought a bottle of cbd. One of many that they sell in cafe. Gotta check this place out. Can take a cbd seltzer to go and hit the beach n chill. Seed and bean for the win. See you guys soon, Xoxo Mo“

“We had a hit and miss experience at the Shamrock Cafe. Our service was great and we enjoyed our time.With our food, we had both good and bad. The meatloaf was average at best. The scallops and shrimp had a distinct taste that we were not fond of. We can see others lining it though. The prime rib was very good as were the salads and mashed potatoes.Overall, we spent about $120 for 4 adults and a child. With a bunch of other places to try, we probably won’t be back in a while but it is worth a try if you are in the area especially because the service was very good.“

“Vegans who are health conscious can find plenty to eat here.Having visited Mission Organic Cafe and Coffee twice in the span of three weeks, I can confidently say it's a place worth returning to. On my first visit, I opted for the Kale salad, which was a generous serving of hearty greens, perfect for fulfilling my nutritional needs. While the kale was fresh and flavorful, a suggestion for improvement would be to lightly rub it with olive oil to soften it and enhance the overall eating experience. Throughout my two visits, I had the opportunity to try five different meals, and each one exceeded my expectations. The variety and quality of dishes offered showcase the cafe's commitment to providing delicious and nutritious options for its patrons.Moreover, the service at Mission Organic Cafe is top-notch, with a keen attention to detail that ensures customers leave satisfied. The staff goes above and beyond to cater to individual preferences and ensure a pleasant dining experience. This dedication to customer satisfaction is truly commendable and sets Mission Organic Cafe apart from other establishments. Overall, with its delicious and diverse menu, coupled with exceptional service, Mission Organic Cafe and Coffee has earned my repeat patronage, and I look forward to returning again soon.Vegetarian options: Lots of healthy vegan options“

“Cute atmosphere, quaint evenMy boyfriend and I got the Kelsey breakfast sandwich and coffees and it was so good. It’s good to see youth and vibrancy in this area, all the employees are young and so kind. Casual and very sweet. We left happy and full :)“

“There are more than a few outstanding breakfast/brunch restaurants in Sarasota, Florida. One of them is Station 400 at 400 North Lemon Avenue in downtown Sarasota. Owned and operated by Dean and Kelly Fox, it is open from 7:30 to 2:30 daily and has earned a reputation as the leading go-to destination for brunch in the city. My wife is addicted to Belgian waffles with vanilla bean maple syrup, whipped butter, fruit, cream and toast with jam. I always start with a bowl of McCann's steel cut Irish oatmeal with cinnamon, granola and steamed berries. And I finish with the Foxes' version of traditional Eggs Benedict, called Tuffle Eggs Benedict, with a toasted English muffin, arugula, caramelized bacon, roasted mushrooms and truffle hollandaise sauce with hash browns and toast with jam. Station 400 also has a location at 8215 Lakewood Main Street in Lakewood Ranch.“

“munchies 420 has new owners. I've been coming here since they opened and let me tell you yesterday was one of the best parties ever the whole staff everybody the bands, the food. It is the place to go in Sarasota. They are incredible Dana Brad the whole Kitchen staff they went up and beyond and we had the best time it was my wife's birthday.!!!“

“This is our 2nd time visiting this restaurant…both times were equally amazingly delicious. We had meals from spaghetti w/meatballs, stuffed shells, shrimp scampi, penne w/vodka sauce. We were here tonight to celebrate our sons 17th birthday. I called to make a reservation for 9 of us, the owner was so appreciative of our group being there tonight. We met the chef, he made some very special dishes for us tonight. It is a hidden gem in this small plaza. Seating is very limited, so if you are going as a large party, I would recommend making a reservation. Highly recommend this restaurant for your next Italian night.“

“I was an server at Le Petit for about 9 months and I just want to give my input about the restaurant: Debbie works extremely hard in the kitchen to make sure all of her food stays consistent and is very close to the original recipes from when the restaurant opened in the '70s. She has been working for Le Petit for 20+ years and is truly the backbone of the establishment. That being said, no, the recipes are not the EXACT same as they were in the '70s but the changes have truly been minimal. The one complaint I have about Le Petit is the lack of understanding about the service fee: On every bill, there is a 20% service fee included. Does this replace the tip? In my opinion, that's up to your discretion. Servers at Le Petit Jardin Cafe make $15/hr. So, the 20% that is included in your bill goes to paying the servers' hourly wage. I don't know why this was so hard for customers to understand. It is a very new and very European-style concept. But, as a tiny mom-and-pop restaurant with usually 2 servers working every day, there is no room to make a living wage off of only tips- especially when most people do not tip 20% of their check. Servers making $15/hr and not relying on tips ensures that they're at least making a semi-livable wage (maybe not in this economy but you know what I mean.) There were days when we would only get 10 tables in a day meaning each server would get around 5 tables. If we were not paid $15/hr we would have probably went home with around $20 per day which is absurd. So the 20% service fee just makes sense. If you want to leave extra cash as a tip, the servers do GREATLY appreciate it. All of the tips go into a shared jar and are split evenly between the servers and kitchen staff for the day (the owner takes no tip money.) I wish that this was able to be explained better by the owner and the servers because that was the #1 complaint I got from customers while serving. Overall, this was a really great place to work and I absolutely love that there are regular customers I got to know that have been coming to Le Petit since they opened.“
