    One of the absolute best places in Sarasota for people who like to eat clean and healthy. They give full transparency to what is in their dishes on the menu and cater to many different types of diets. Plus, it’s delicious. Service is always great and we never have to wait very long for food even when it’s busy. Very cute little cozy café vibes.

    Our local book club got together here this week. We are a large group and there was something for everyone - including those who are vegan, vegetarian AND gluten free. Food is excellent.
