I don’t know where to start. A life saver, Palma Coffee is a life saver. It’s probably and very likely the BEST coffee shop in the area. Yes there are other coffee shops/Café’s but none check all the boxes. First Manuel and Amanda have to be 2 of the kindest, sweetest people I know, I mean c’mon Amanda’s Abuela works at the shop a couple days a week and her mom was there to help out during an event they had recently. AND yes you know all 3 are related. Anyone who says, “eh coffee is coffee” has no coffee soul but Manuel and Amanda are the Otis and Aretha of coffee. From stuff they get, to stuff they roast, to all of the coffee they serve no way you get a bad cup. Everything is made with pride, and they know their stuff. These are 2 people who are ALL IN when it comes to coffee. Yes there are others in Sarasota who do good coffee but no one else has the balance that is Palma Coffee.

Been wanting to try this shop especially since it's nearby. It's a bit hard to find because it's in a strip shopping center off Tamiami trail in Sarasota across the road from a Honda Dealer. You'll also see a sign for the Democratic Party local office and it's down an opening in the shopping center past that. It's a nice small eclectic place that looks like a haven for same-type people living here in Florida - especially the GulfCoast. That's a plus in my book. Shop has nice tables - very old time Coffee Shop looking except very modern updates. Vinyl music playing on a record player. Very cool. They even have albums for sale. Nice covered tables outside. Coffee offerings were good. Got a Cafe Latte with Oat Milk. Very good and pretty strong. Also was hot ! They offer a Flat White a fav of my friend. Bottom line - good find!

Great menu with exotic coffee recipes. Baked goods quality exceeds most coffee shops. They definitely know about coffee!

What a great flat white ! A little gem. I know where I’m going when I come back to siesta key.

Cannot believe we have missed this gem! Pour over coffee was very smooth. Very good iced mocha too. Small batch and personalized. Will become a favorite stop for us!

Shhhh, best espresso pull in town. Like getting sashimi at a new sushi place to get a feel for their quality, I like to get a single shot at a new coffee place, to see how they do the no frills.Mind you, this is not your old school Italian espresso shot but, this was a beautiful floral and citrus forward pull. Totally right extraction and temperature.This place is super dialed in but not at all uptight. You can see the coffee lab roots.If you like non frilly coffee that captures single origin roasts check it out. Even if you just like coffee, you should go here. Chill vibe, great folks working there and a proper flow behind the counter not a panic going to fast flow.

Probably the best specialty coffee roaster in Sarasota. Their Colombia gesha selection was great and I bought the X4 for a friend who absolutely loves the wine notes. My first visit I was excited they had geshas for their pour over selections and Amanda was incredibly kind to explain the differences between what they offered - I ended up with the yellow gesha first, which was very floral and tea-like on the finish, but had the peachiness and typical stonefruit notes. My next couple visits I had the X4, and Manuel was so kind to recommend using a Sibarist filter the next time I came in to try the difference in cup clarity. I also had a wonderful conversation about coffee fermentation and processing, getting recommended a podcast on the subject, and they are so obviously transparent about their sourcing and coffee.Their vinyl selection was cute and their music is comfy. The ceramic mugs my pour-overs came in looked handmade and each came with little information cards about the coffee in general. Their specialty coffee selection is a bit small and Manuel mentioned they had a Myanmar coffee, which I was disappointed I didn't get to see before I left. Most definitely will come back!
One of the best coffee places I've ever been to. Staff is super nice and all seem like knowledgeable coffee nerds. The pastries were legit too. We got everything to go, but it looked like it would be a super cute place to sit and enjoy, tucked away in the back of a strip mall. They had a couple tables outside. It is an oasis of excellence in a sea of mediocre food and drink in that area. I want to pay to relocate them to my neighborhood.
