This place has nothing but the freshest and fantastic breads, wraps, vegetables, dressings, etc etc, Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options and mix and match or replace or discard....... have a blast!!! Think we found a new local spot!!! Keep an eye out here for an updated review when we go back!!!

The food is Mondo Biondo with flavor. The great thing is anybody can eat here. It is billed as a vegetarian vegan place or plant base place actually but they have meat and fish on the menu. Just they're very careful about where they source their products. I brought two of my friends here that are very picky from the Midwest and they were in love with the place. It has a nice ambience, very clean, kind of industrial, but warm ceilings are very high, so even though it's a small place it does not feel small in the least. The Chef is amazing! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and customer service oriented. It is on one of the main streets in Sarasota and if you walk by, it may not look that interesting but I am telling you you are missing out on a truly exceptional food experience. Go here do not wait. It is definitely a place that makes your taste buds come alive..

It's not easy to find vegetarian food in the South when you're hungry. Lila came to the rescue!…read more Downtown Sarasota parking can be tricky, but we found a parking structure with one hour free nearby. When we first entered, there was just one table occupied, it was early afternoon. The music was a bit too much for the setting. The environment was clean. But, it took 5 minutes or more for someone to come out and greet us. We went to the restroom and almost left, thinking they were closed. But, finally they noticed us. Thank goodness, because I had one of the best BLTAs of my life. The bread looked boring, but it was soft and the perfect blank slate for the seitan bacon, tomato, avocado, and mayo. Very tasty! My husband had the Tofu Rueben. The tofu was a thick slab and the faux corned beef idea would have been better as thin seitan slices. But, he still enjoyed it. Both came with a small salad of just lettuce. I enjoyed my meal (obviously) but I think they could improve their hospitality. Prices indicate a higher level of service. Maybe to go is best.

I started off with Fresh Sprouts Rolls (2 for $8.99) and Basil Rolls (2 for $6.99). They were both wrapped in rice paper so you can really enjoy the tasty ingredients. Each came with a different dipping sauce. Then I went with the Portobella Noodle ($17.99). I'm happy to report that there were more fresh vegetable & mushrooms than noodles and included a savory sauce. Our waitress, Lee, was attentive and helpful (Although to be for we arrived at 11am when they opened and were the only customers) The restaurant is nicely decorated with vegan information posters, books, and grocery items for sale.

The poke was spicy and fresh with no unwanted flavors, the enchiladas were really flavorful and tender with some nice crunch from the cabbage, and the unsweetened tea was on point.

They're conveniently located on Fruitville Rd near the Sprouts market and they're a perfect spot to stop by whether you need a quick bite or on your way to or from the beach in the area. There isn't anything I've tried here that has disappointed. Note that their hours of operation do change every so often so check on Google before visiting. I think my favorite of all the options is the Portobello mushroom melt. It does have a considerable amount of moisture from the tofu, portobello mushroom and spinach combination. I've learned it's best to have it at the restaurant and lifting the bread ever so slightly once your unwrap the sandwich so that it releases the extra heat before you enjoy it. It'll save you from a burn! I like asking for tempeh "bacon" or soy curls as add-ons depending on which item I'm ordering. Tempeh "bacon" works great on sandwiches and soy curls in the wraps. I also like their fried mushroom sandwich which is supposed to mimic a Chick-fil-A sandwich because it's satisfying but not heavy. Their brown sugar Oatmylk iced coffee was nice because it didn't taste sugary and I liked their iced tea option that was the very berry forward one. They have good sweets also like their banana chocolate chip muffin. I'm looking forward to trying their vegan tiramisu.

We were both quite satisfied with our dishes, especially the sausage we each got. Therre's no drip coffee, just expensive espresso-based beverages ($6+). Also not impressed that they had a 3.5% "kitchen appreciation fee" to the bill, then prompt you for an additional standard tip on top of that. If you need to charge more, just add it to the dish price! But I guess we're in the age of restaurants needing to charge more for things without wanting to make food prices seem too inflated. Overall, good food. If I lived in St Pete, I'd definitely come here a lot.
