    I love this place. Tried just about every coffee shop on this island during my visit and this was my favorite. Cute decor for sale. Coffee was very very good. And the service was great, super nice people.

    Back Alley is a place to try. Super cute coffee/wine bar. Where the back has merchandise for purchase. Though they may seem packed, they spin out drinks pretty quickly. 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!

    Love this cute store. In September they appeared to have different hours than the ones listed on the door. We really wished they stayed open longer but i get it it's beach town. It's a fun gift shop plus plus. They have coffee, drinks, fruit and bites to eat. However they do not have is protein drinks. Then again no one did on this part of the island. Even the little quick shop.

    I stopped in for a coffee and was met with friendly service. The coffee bar area also serves beer and wine for later in the day, and the vibe is quirky and art filled beach house with lots of colors and textures. I had an iced latte with their house made cold-foam (really good!) and a small lime cake. The small pastries and cakes are homemade and delicious. I went back in after enjoying my coffee and cake on their outdoor porch and did some shopping. The gift shop is just as fun and I bought a small travel sized sunscreen. Great spot! Delicious coffee and cake and great little gift shop.

    Absolutely love it here! I've been coming here for years every time I visit AMI. The owners are so so friendly, and they have the CHEAPEST coffee on the island. Delicious drinks that don't cost an arm and a leg. Love the vibes and the energy, it feels like old Florida. Love Back Alley!!

    What a unique concept!!!! Coffee, wine, beer, smoothies, boozy smoothies, snacks, boutique items for sale; omg what a glorious place. The gentlemen behind the counter warmed my soul. Great conversation and suggestions. Friendly atmosphere and perfect location.

    My favorite coffee shop on the island I started my mornings with a short beach walk to the coffee shop, and the service was fast and the coffee was tasty. My favorite part are their straws - pieces of pasta noodles! A sustainable touch that is much appreciated when you're that close to the water.

    Bridge Street entrance

    The shop atmosphere was beautiful and clean, with lots of coastal jewelry and other beachy gifts. The bathroom was surprisingly adorable as well but the most important part was the coffee was amazing!

    11/10 bartender & artist Scott! Check out his jewelry in the store to get hooky!
    Caitlen C.

    Wonderful, wonderful experience at Back Alley Treasures yesterday evening! I had originally stopped here for hunting down some local pieces of art but ended up staying and getting so much more! Scott's charm and service was delightful, and his drinks were always perfect! ( I suggest a raspberry matcha if you need a post-beach pick me up!) Scott even sells some beautiful jewelry within the store, please check it out! Beautiful atmosphere, with home like charm, please check this place out!

    Coffee was fine. Syrups are not homemade which I prefer. No where to sit is a drawback for sure. It's a gift shop where they serve coffee.

    Absolutely -- corrected version:…read more The Doctor's Office was one of those meals where everything we ordered was memorable. Such a cool concept, but more importantly, the food and drinks absolutely delivered. We started with the Lobstercargots -- chunks of lobster baked in herbed garlic butter and served with fresh-baked focaccia for dipping. Forget escargot; this is the way to do it. The bread soaking up that garlic butter might have been worth the trip by itself. The Bistro Blue Tomato Soup was fantastic. Rich, smooth and full of flavor, with the signature syringe of Grey Goose. "Goose the soup!" Great presentation and even better soup. For the main course, the Famous Bistro Bouillabaisse was outstanding. Lobster tail, Gulf shrimp, grouper, mussels and clams in a saffron tomato broth, with more fresh-baked bread for dipping. Beautiful dish and absolutely delicious. And then there's the Street Corn Named Desire cocktail made with butter-washed tequila. What a drink! The street-corn garnish and seasoned rim make it one of the most creative cocktails I've had in a long time -- and it tastes as good as it looks. The Doctor's Office manages to be fun and clever without the concept overshadowing the food. Excellent meal, creative cocktails and great attention to detail. Definitely a place we'll come back to.

Service was friendly and accommodating, and they start you off with "wellness shots" which is super fun! The cocktails were creative, beautiful, and seriously good. I had the PInk Paloma Club with was equally as refreshing as it was garnished beautifullyrics. The food absolutely held its own! The lobstercargot were rich and delicious, the warm brioche rolls with maple butter were dangerously good. We tried both versions of the grouper, our entrées were beautifully presented and packed with flavor, fish cooked perfectly. Everything felt thoughtful and elevated without being stuffy. We had to finish with two dessert cocktails off the "clinical trials" menu, one was a tequila espresso martini, and one was a take on a Dubai chocolate martini. Perfect ending! The atmosphere is cozy, unique, and a little unexpected--exactly the kind of place I love finding while traveling. Definitely worth an "appointment" if you're on Anna Maria Island.

We got there a little early for our reservation and they were immediately ready to seat us. They even made an effort to place us near the fish tank so our toddler could watch the fish during dinner, which I really appreciated. The restaurant itself felt more intimate than I expected. I've seen reviews mention the awkward layout, but I actually thought it gave the space a cozy feel. Unfortunately, the food and service didn't fully live up to the prices. Our waiter was kind, but we barely saw him during the meal and waited quite a while for drink refills. I'd also mentioned in the reservation notes that it was my husband's birthday dinner and our first time visiting, but neither was acknowledged during dinner. Normally that wouldn't bother me much, but with the pricing and the restaurant's elevated presentation - polished uniforms, fresh seafood options, extensive wine menu - it felt like there should've been a little more attention to the overall experience. My husband did absolutely love the coleslaw that came with his fish and chips, especially the pineapple in it, which he'd never tried before. I ordered the grouper tacos and thought they were okay, but not especially satisfying. They came with a salad, and I found myself wishing I could've swapped it for fries or a heartier side. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing or misunderstood the menu options. Most of the crowd during our visit seemed older, and the restaurant definitely feels geared toward that demographic. While I don't think we'd personally rush back, I'm still glad we gave it a try. I also thought it was a nice touch that they offer a 15% discount to the ice cream shop next door if you bring your receipt.

Florida casual attire, after all you're on an island. I started with the French Onion Soup and my husband had the escargot. Both were excellent. For dinner, I truly enjoyed the Chateaubriand which is served atop of a carrot purée and their own potato au gratin made with Bleu cheese. These unique potatoes are pie cut and blend perfectly with the meat. It's a symphony for your tastebuds. Dessert was the owner, Buddy, mom's Ricotta Cheesecake. Homemade, Yes! Decadent, Smooth and Delicious, Oh my Yes! Want more, Definitely Yes! This restaurant is a hidden treasure. Yes, it is priced at a higher rate than most restaurants in the area, but the quality and service is also at a higher standard unlike any in our area. A wonderful combination of relaxed, unpretentious and fine dining. Where friends can gather, families can make memories and love stories are built. We need them back in Sarasota. Make the reservation, take the drive to the island, to escape your reality for a couple of hours of the best meat and seafood dishes in a unique restaurant. Guarantee you will leave as part of the family.
