    Croissant FRENCH TOAST with banana creme brulee and whipped cream

    This place never fails me. They always have great hospitality and the atmosphere is amazing. The food has never been a disappointment which is why I HAVE to come here every time I'm visiting Sarasota. I ordered their special which is the Croissant French toast with banana creme brûlée' and it was good. I'd prefer them to change the name since there isn't exactly croissant bread involved with the dish at all. So that was misleading and a little disappointing. The flavor profiles went well together but this wasn't my favorite.

    apple crumble oatmeal pancake

    I reallllly wanted to like Green Zebra more than I did. I was so impressed by the heavily vegan menu but the flavors just fell short for me. we visited twice on our trip because there were so many things we wanted to try. trip #1 we shared the vegan shakshuka and the apple crumble oatmeal pancake: -the shakshuka was very cool. it was served with a vegan version of a poached egg which i loved. unfortunately the sauce could have been seasoned better and only 2 small pieces of bread were given. we were out of bread in 3 bites and still had so much more sauce to go. -the pancake was inedible - it tasted like straight flour and there was something really bitter on it that we couldn't get past. the servings overall were pretty small and i left feeling unsatisfied. trip #2 - a second chance. sun benedict and vegan french toast -the french toast was actually good. it wasn't soggy which is hard with vegan french toast so i enjoyed that. -the sun benedict was really just avocado toast. there was nothing that resembled an egg or hollandaise. that being said, as an avocado toast it was good - there was a giant scoop of some whipped green substance that was delicious. i enjoyed the outdoor seating and service was fast despite it being busy.

    Nice place.

    This is 4 1:2 stars. Yelp wake up and allow this. Ohh... So we were having a nice walk over the Sarasota Bridge into St Armands and wanted a good healthy smoothie. Found it at the Green Zebra. Drank them outside and enjoyed the sunshine. Service was very good. Drinks were totally refreshing and easy to drink. Good stop. Big time recommend. Nice people working there too.

    Wild Alaskan Benedict
    Lauren S.

    We had a mediocre experience here for brunch. Our waitress didn't know what kind of coffee they had and when I ordered a latte, she asked if I wanted milk added. What? My wild Alaskan smoked salmon bene was just ok. Watery hollandaise and I didn't like sourdough as the base. My potatoes were not crispy or salted. Our server never cleared our dishes after we were done eating. We sat for awhile chatting with empty dishes in front of us. Not ever when we asked for the check and paid. Ambiance outside was cute though.

    Service was great here. Drinks were unique and interesting. But the ambiance is was got me!

    One of the best restaurants in Sarasota! It's healthy, but upscale and has delicious cocktails! My friend is dairy free and gluten free and they had so many options. The seafood was delicious and they one of the best burgers ever. Penelope was amazing!

    June 16, 2024 - 3 for Father's Day breakfast. Quick update (can't do much about the 5 stars but say they earned them again today!) Service by Sabrina? was exceptional and attentive!!! My wife ordered: sweet potato toast --- sweet potato, avocado, grilled bell pepper, calamata olives, toasted sesame seeds and she got an over medium eggs. The sweet potato toast was a 9/10, the eggs were over hard yolk and had the browned whites from flash panned quick cooking hell. 4/10 Daughter got : the real deal --- two free range eggs your way, bacon or chicken sausage, one buttermilk pancake, served with organic maple syrup and powdered sugar. The pancake with chocolate morsels was an 8/10 but the eggs we also over easy but were more like medium to well and the white on one side were crater bubble browned and a fried brown edges. Better than my wife's egg. 6/10 This egg showing is sadly why when I did my 28 breakfast place round up of Sarasota, Venice, Osprey, Nokomis areas of Eggs Benedict over the last 3 years Green Zebra did not make the top 10!!! GREAT for many many things as you can see here.....but "somebody" needs a lesson in egg poaching, frying, and cooking..... low & slow is better than flaming & fast. I decided on the sun benedict: a grilled portabella, avocado, house - made vegan eggs, tomato, rustic Italian bread, house - made vegan hollandaise. Now this was innovative and enjoyable!! Doing the real eggs benedict review my total cholesterol actually went UP almost 10% since 2021 after me spending 10 years getting it to go from 350+ down to 138 total. S this healthier alternative, low to no saturated fat, low oils/fats and lower calorie overall little feast was welcome. Next time to make it even BETTER I will ask for a gluten free less processed bread!! 10/10 Great spot, maybe they will work the egg cooking situation/suggestion, but we will be back for sure!!! Check them out!

    Arty decor throughout!

    We saw this super-cute cafe located just a walk away from our hotel, Art Ovation...so my husband and I decided to bid farewell to Sarasota with a breakfast here. My son, however, chose to just pick up a pastry from Kors, this bakery next door. First of all, the place is strikingly decorated with leaves and branches on the wall, rustic, artsy tables...even a huge, carved Zebra (life size!) in one of the rooms! However, I didn't understand why that Zebra was hidden away by the Exit sign (possible safety hazard?)...and not placed as a centerpiece, in the middle or front of the restaurant. Why, I wonder?? Anyway, the menu was equally striking...very unique! BTW, this place is also open for dinner as well...not just for brunch. I saw so many items that I'd love to try! It seemed that they had a good variety of Vegan options too. My husband decided to try their famous Raw Pancake. It was kind of alluring, especially for my hubby because he loves Strawberry...but unfortunately, he didn't love it. I chose their Lavendar Blueberry Pancakes, with a side of Bacon....and I DID love mine. Very unusual taste...in a very good way! As far as I was concerned, their foods were awesome. Aside from great food and decor, service was on point too. Overall, I loved this place. Hoping to revisit in the future!

    Absolutely love this place! Our third visit and great meal. Service was excellent. Thanks Calvin for making my husband's birthday extra special. Our meal was excellent. Please give our compliments to the chef.

    The service is kind the food is totally divine and the ambience will not make you whine! This place will not disappoint you! We will definitely be back!

    Kids quesadilla- replaced the chicken with avocado and tomato!

    The place was full outside and we were hoping for that for our big group of 8- they ended up taking us upstairs where we had the whole place to ourselves! Our server was wonderful- she brought us a drink they accidentally made extra of instead of throwing it out, and, when she got my daughters order wrong (but the food still looked so good), she let us have that AND boxed up the correct order for her to take home- now that's great customer service! The food was good- it's very healthy tasting- which means not as much seasoning- it's great and fresh!

    Chocolate Cake

    Food was very delicious and fresh! The raw lasagna was super good and the chocolate cake was incredible!

    Dessert menu

    When my mom and I got here the place was super busy and we thought we would have to wait, but we managed to get a table outside and get lunch pretty quickly! I had the tofu burrito wrap which was super filling but not too much food, and I also had the chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was good, but smaller than I expected so it wasn't big enough to share. The restaurant is pretty cute inside! One thing that did happen is our server didn't come to give us the check so another server did. We figured they must have been switching shifts or something which was a little odd since they didn't tell us what was going on. Other than that it was great!

    Do not get the matcha, it's expensive and very poor quality. Not good at all. It has a very grassy taste and it's brown in color

Nestled right on S Pineapple Ave in the heart of downtown Sarasota, it's the kind of spot that pulls you in with its clean aesthetic and keeps you coming back for the quality. I stopped in for a mid-morning pick-me-up and was instantly greeted by the fresh scent of citrus and the friendliest staff. The vibe is bright, tropical, and relaxed--think pastel tones, natural wood, and sunshine pouring through the windows. I went with the Sunshine Smoothie (pineapple, mango, banana, orange, coconut milk), and it tasted like vacation in a cup--super fresh, not too sweet, and perfectly blended. I also grabbed a cold-pressed green juice (can't remember the name, but it had kale, cucumber, apple, and lemon), and it was crisp, clean, and exactly what I needed to balance out too much beach food the day before. Their menu covers everything from smoothies and juices to açai bowls and wellness shots--each one thoughtfully crafted with real ingredients. No syrups, no fillers, just the good stuff. Whether you're post-yoga, pre-beach, or just passing through downtown, Summer Tap is a must-stop for anyone who appreciates high-quality, feel-good fuel. Healthy without being boring, and welcoming without being overdone. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Sarasota.

Granted, anything with sashimi is going to be on the pricey side, but I felt it was a bit expensive. Other than that, it was a lovely experience. The severs were very friendly when we placed our order at the counter, and they brought our meals to the table outside. I would recommend Pura Vida Miami as a great spot to sit and chat with a good meal!
