It was not easy. People had parked wonky causing chaos. When we were leaving, an extremely large truck parked so close to me, even with his side mirrors closed leaving was an issue for me. The 3 year old was not able to get into her seat that way and the other side was almost as close. It took me 20 minutes to leave while repeating to the same car over and over I was leaving but needed to get a child into her car seat before I could drive away. This part of the experience has me not wanting to go back. Maybe just never on a weekend. 28.0.2026

I want to like this place but now after multiple visits I have been disappointed by the quality and…read morestaff and won't be coming back. The outside is so nice and inside is decorated well (super dark though - poor lighting especially in the coffee shop). I first went a year ago and the coffee was poorly made (the beans they used then were from one of my favorite local roasters...the espresso shots were pulled incorrectly). Same thing this visit, everything was bitter and tasted burnt (we got multiple drinks for my family both visits). I asked about the beans and their onsite roaster to learn if they roasted everything or if they also used a local roaster and the barista was clueless and said "well they are beans and that's a roaster thing I guess?" The first visit the staff were just rude both the coffee shop and the overpriced store. This time no one was managing the store front and the baristas were so confused, could not keep orders straight and a line grew for people at the coffee shop that just wanted to buy something from the store. My son had ordered a croissant ($7) they called my name, my son went to grab it for me and the guy told him that is not his. I was there with him, told him my name and he said, no it is for someone else. So it sat there getting cold for almost 10mins while we waited for our coffee (meanwhile they were giving other people the wrong items). When my coffee order was ready I asked again and mentioned no one had taken the croissant and if I could now take it, he looked at me and almost said no but the other barista was like yea that is his. The outside gives this place the second star. Sadly the change in ownership has not improved the organization or level of quality. This past visit was on a Wednesday and not a peak time. I may have also just come on two really bad days looking at the other reviews. The prices warrant a better more consistent experience in my opinion.

I love to see those business do well, have success and become a long time fixture in a community. But I also won't life or color outside the lines. The merch they sell is fun and can all be personalized. The shop is small, I mean narrow, so if more than 2 people are there it seems crowded to almost claustrophobic. They do personalize almost everything they sell, so that is pretty nice (t--shirts, hats, sweats) and have a variety of sizes and colors. The prices are a tad steep on some items, almost too cheap on others. My experinces have been positive, but not always successful as I have looked for things there I couldn't find. Yet I know not all local and touristy gift shops can be all things to all people. I like this place, all in all. If you are looking for Sarasota or FL merch go here. It's authentic and not "Wal-Mart" mass generated made in China slop.
