    Very simplistic café. Little to nothing on the walls. Not depressing but also not super refreshing. Open seating concept with not enough seating to those who were in the café. We arrived about an hour after they opened and there was not much left in the pastry cabinet, yet people were still ordering them? We were confused--maybe the issue was their lack of restocking the showcase and the locals knew that? The staff felt rushed, so we didn't ask about food and ordered two dirty chai teas and went next door to the other coffee shop (Out and About Coffee) to grab pastries. Next door also had more seating and food options.

    You can tell a lot about a coffee shop by the way they make their cappuccinos, especially their oat milk cappuccinos.

    This is our favorite coffee shop in downtown Sarasota. The service, coffee atmosphere. Everything is exceptional.

    Simple Cedar Wreaths adorn the shop.

    Just want to show off the beautiful new cups that our delicious lattes were presented in!! Always looking to improve the presentation and the ambiance of the shop! Thank you for the upgrades!

    This place was so nice! Very relaxing and the people who were working were very kind and very helpful! The matcha colada was great! And so was the vanilla latte!

    Interior- trendy and clean

    EXCELLENT Local coffee shop. Exactly what I wanted! Nice bright clean space with their coffee machines and expert baristas. The espresso was rich and smooth and the drip perfectly roasted. Their motto is good people great coffee and I love that! Good location near the marina in the heart of downtown Sarasota. A quick walk from almost all the hotels and there is plenty of street parking to pop in if you are via car. We will definitely be back!

    Cheese danish - had a flaky croissant texture - excellent

    Always a good experience getting matcha and espresso drinks here. Love the creativity in their seasonal features; also nice pastry selection.

    If you love quality black coffee with great tasting notes, this place is for you. The cold brew is probably the best I have had in awhile! We did not sit inside, but plenty of space to do so if you need to get work done or catch up with a friend. They have some pastries available, but we did not get any, so I cannot comment on those options. Breaking Waves is located in the Bayfront area with a lot of shops & restaurants. Street parking is 2 hrs and there are parking garages in the area as well. If you like syrups, sugar, and dessert for breakfast there is a Starbucks down the road.

    Vanilla cappuccino, iced vanilla americano

    Nice little coffee shop in Sarasota Downtown , good amount of sitting inside. Good coffee. Must try

    Cold Brew and Latte

    My husband and I are coffee drinkers and have had coffee all over the world. I would have to say, this is the Best Tasting Coffee we have had. My husband's Standard drink is the Breve Latte and mine is the Cold Brew. Gosh they were amazing, Two days in a row! Such a quaint little comfy welcoming spot. The staff are kind and pleasant too! Great Job Breaking Waves Crew!!!

    this place is seriously amazing. they are right next to another coffee shop and this one really steals the show in my opinion. great decor, amazing service, and absolutely delicious coffee. love that they serve it in cute mugs.

    Absolutely loved this coffee shop!! The ricotta toast was amazing and this was the best vanilla latte I've ever had. The staff was incredible friendly and even remembered us when we came back the next day! Definitely check out Breaking Wave Coffee if you get the chance!

    This was my first time to visit this coffee shop in beautiful Sarasota, Florida. My wife and I are in the area visiting from Colorado. The location is great near Sarasota Harbor, and parking is rather limited. I arrived this morning right after they opened, was not greeted upon entering, the person who took my order did not greet me, was not friendly, and kinda acted like I was bothering her by being here today. The inside dining room area is decent, simply decorated, clean, and the seating is hard and uncomfortable after sitting 5 minutes. They have upbeat music playing. My coffee is okay, nothing to write home about. There is free WiFi and it works well.
