    Breakfast Crepes.
    Selmy B.

    Exceptional service, unlike any of the other French breakfast spots in Sarasota. Let's elevate breakfast with a fresh flair. The bakery items are generous and locals, like us, come to just get some croissants for later. The menu has breakfast and lunch omelettes , crepes, sandwiches and some healthier options. The coffee is always hot and strong. Prices are competitive for the area. Tables are available upstairs, downstairs and outside. Great for 2 or for groups as the tables and chairs are moved to accommodate all guests. Family friendly and again the best feature is Veronique the owner's genuine hospitality and attention to outstanding service by her steady original staff. It's a family and they invite you to join them for breakfast or lunch.

    My family and I went here for breakfast twice: once on Christmas Eve and once on Christmas Day. The first day, I got an egg and cheese croissant sandwich with a side of potatoes. We also got the goat cheese quiche, the lobster benedict, the pineapple crepe, the lobster crepe, and the Nutella crepe. We also got orange juice and coffee. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and the coffee was great. The quiche was rich and creamy, the Benedict was perfect and filled with lobster and a great hollandaise sauce. The crepes were good, but the Nutella crepe could have had some kind of filling. The lobster crepe was filled with lobster as well, so definitely good quality. The egg and cheese croissant was good as well, a the potatoes that came with the orders were delicious. The portions were all great, and the service was excellent. The second day, I ordered a create your own omelette with mushroom and Brie and subbed my side with a croissant, as well as a baked brie croissant, the western crepe with turkey, the salmon crepe, the lobster omelette, the tatin waffle, and a lemon strawberry crepe. All of the entrees were good as well. The crest your own omelette was a great value, especially with a croissant. The Brie croissant was delicious, as were all the crepes and the waffle. The homemade béchamel in the western crepe was amazing. The lobster omelette was good as well, but could have used some cheese or creamy sauce. Other than that, loved everything and would definitely come here again.

    The food was good. It was a really nice day to be outside so it was a perfect weather. Both of us tried the crepes. And it's not disappointing. Service was good. I probably will come back to try their breakfast and bakery - Croissants!

    Now this is an authentic French cafe! My fiancé picked this place out and I was so excited to try it. We drove up to this place and saw the seating outside and it took me back to living in France. We were seated by the owner who I spoke with in French about where she was from and just about the French regions. We sat down and looked over the great menu. My fiancé ordered the Ocean Boulevard and I ordered the Omelette Beret with a side of fruit. My meal was amazing!! I ordered a pain au chocolat, which was my favorite when I lived in France and had that for later... it was delicious!! Highly highly recommend this place for breakfast but even their lunch and dinner menu looked fantastic!!!

    Amazing fresh food!! I knew it was going to be good when I saw the Seed to Table delivery truck outside. I ordered the Lobster Benedict. It was amazing. I usually never eat hollandaise sauce, but I order on the side to try. It was amazing! So fresh with a buttery lemon flavor. Mmmm Our server was Andy. She was:super friendly and as busy as they were she always found a moment to stop by to check to see if we needed anything. I will be back!!! This was the best breakfast place on Siesta Key!!

    The croissants here are AMAZING. I'm a picky foodie but their sand dollar breakfast is light and well balanced. They have fresh squeezed OJ mimosas! Yum!!! The outside patio area is cute and great for an early morning in the sun! However, this cafe is best suited for small groups or couples. Waitress is attentive without being overbearing. I have tried all the island breakfast restaurants and this one is my favorite.

    The place is cute. Service is quick but limited patio seating and if you're here on the weekend, definitely get here before the 9:30 AM breakfast rush or else there won't be much space to sit and you'll be waiting . Up charge for fruit if you want to swap for potatoes. They get plenty of potatoes as aside, but I wasn't in the mood for them this morning and their side salad is just straight up greens with nothing on it which I also thought was meh. Fresh squeezed OJ at nine dollars a cup. It's a tad on the pricey side but hey it's fresh squeeze vitamin C so it's a good way to start the day. The lobster omelette was OK. It smelled very fishy and kind of bland. My husband preferred Benedict. I thought it was fine, but nothing to write home about. I got a Nutella crepe with strawberries and it was also just ok. Not enough Nutella but plenty of strawberries. The crepe itself was bland and not sweet. Overall it's fine but probably not a place I'd return to.

    Delicious breakfast sandwich on a croissant, with coffee that rivals any other we had on this vacation. Service was attentive. Sat outdoors which was lovely. Recommend.

    Greek salad with Blue Cheese and escargot. Sorry it ate and then got a photo.

    Service and food were divine! Great place for a small group looking for wonderful food and great service. They clearly are loving what they do and we could tell! Thanks

    Popped in on a Sunday morning and picked up an almond croissant and a pain au chocolat - both were very good. The almond croissant could have used a bit more almond filling for my taste but it was tasty. The French gentlemen at the cash register (owner?) was very pleasant while juggling a lot of demands. The prices were what we would have expected. The staff were all wearing masks. A few years ago in Ft Lauderdale we had some some superb French pastries - we give a slight nod to that place but Bonjour is the second best we have had in Florida. Actually we meant to take a picture of our purchase but we devoured it too fast!

We were guests in what our hosts described as "their favorite restaurant" and Yelp awards a 4-stars review...my conclusion was: either the restaurant was having a really bad night or reviewers have lost their understanding of what a 4-stars restaurant should be like. Our hosts ordered a bottle of white Bordeaux which the owner poured in our glasses as if she was pouring the lowly Sarasota water, filled our glasses almost to the top practically emptying the bottle. Then it was time to order, the lady host asked for the foie gras appetizer which she had absolutely recommended...Sorry, we are out! Appetizers: we ordered 2 Escargots, and the Homemade Country Pâté. The Escargots in herb butter were tasteless (I had to add some salt) and one of the snails was full of stones and grit. Main course: I asked for the Homemade Country Pâté which was portioned significantly less than what our host had gotten...was it to punish me for ordering 2 appetizers? My husband ordered the lamb chops...4 chops cooked to the point where they were tough, and a potato gratin reminiscent of a brick. Our hosts ordered the Pork Marco Polo and the Smoked Salmon Salad. I cannot comment on their entrees even though a comment was made that the pork was overcooked. The Salmon Salad did not look appetizing. But, the 'pièce de resistance' was when our host ordered Crêpe Suzette and was told that 'we are out of orange jam'...whaaat? You can find orange jam in any grocery store, you should never run out of orange jam. We have dined in many restaurant that we felt were subpar, this one won first price. Needless to say, will never go back.

    My wife and I visited this restaurant on Memorial Day for our anniversary because we were craving…read moretacos and wanted a nice rooftop dinner experience. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, the entire night was disappointing and honestly ruined what was supposed to be a special evening. When we got off the elevator at the rooftop entrance, there was no host or greeter anywhere in sight. The restaurant itself was dark, mostly empty, and only had one other family dining outside. We stood there awkwardly for several minutes before someone finally acknowledged us and said someone would be with us shortly. A woman eventually came out with menus, but never greeted us, smiled, introduced herself, or spoke beyond seating us. We then waited around 15 minutes just to place our order. There were no menu recommendations, no explanation of dishes, and no basic hospitality whatsoever. I specifically requested NO black beans on my meal. After an extremely long wait for food in a nearly empty restaurant, my plate arrived covered in black beans. I politely mentioned that I had asked for them to be removed, and instead of apologizing, the server responded with an annoyed "ugh, I told them," grabbed the plate aggressively, and walked away. I also asked about the cheese on the tostada because the menu simply said "cheese," which most people would reasonably assume means mozzarella, Mexican blend, queso fresco, etc. Instead, it came covered in crumbled feta cheese, which I do not eat. The server never mentioned it, never asked, and acted irritated when I brought it up. She made a nasty face, ignored me mid-conversation, and walked away. Meanwhile, my wife's food was terrible. Her shrimp tacos were bland and soggy, and the rice tasted like it had been overcooked in water until it turned into mush. While waiting for my corrected plate, I realized they never even brought my rice out at all. After another long wait, my "corrected" meal finally arrived - except instead of simply removing the black beans, they stripped almost everything off the dish. What I got back was basically dry tostadas with chicken and lettuce. No crema, no pico de gallo, no proper toppings, no effort. I tried to ignore it and gave it a chance, one bite only... but the food tasted like it had been cooked in old, dirty oil. The smell and flavor were so bad that I immediately lost my appetite. At that point, I politely told the server that we were just going to leave and asked for the bill. I wasn't asking for free food, discounts, or an argument - I simply wanted to pay and leave peacefully. Instead, she slammed the check down next to me with another attitude-filled expression and walked off. Because of her behavior, I didn't even feel comfortable handing her my card, so I went inside to pay directly with the manager. I calmly explained the situation and expected at least a little empathy or professionalism. Instead, the manager basically told me that if I didn't like the food or service, I should just leave -- "like he would do." That response alone told me everything I needed to know about how this restaurant operates. Not once did anyone apologize sincerely, attempt to fix the situation, offer a replacement, offer dessert, remove an item, or show any interest in customer service. Instead, the staff became defensive, argumentative, and confrontational. I told him that his server was rude and disrespectful as she sat there staring at me, hands on her hip, laughing sarcastically as I explained what happened. That same manager walked from behind the counter and approached me face-to-face aggressively, telling me that "I cannot call the food nasty and if I didn't like it, to pay and leave but to not argue with a woman" while the same woman server continued making comments from behind the counter: "how am I rude? How am I disrespectful? I didn't even talk" (that's my point!) What should have been a simple anniversary dinner turned into one of the worst dining experiences my wife and I have ever had. Terrible service, terrible food, rude staff, poor management, and absolutely zero accountability. We left hungry, frustrated, and shocked at how badly the situation was handled. Would not return and absolutely would not recommend.
