    Outdoor courtyard seating.
    Linda N.

    Went for lunch. Out door seating only, shaded and casual but spacious and enjoyable. The food was excellent. I indulge in Mediterranean food often and in a variety of locations. This was delicious. The service was very nice too! They have breakfast and coffee items as well as lunch. I will definitely return. It is a walk up window with an outdoor courtyard seating. Very casual but very delicious. Highly recommend!!

    Matcha Lemonade Spanakopita

    I love this place!! It's so hard to find local businesses to support. Their matcha lemonade and spanakopita are amazing, so are there specials. And they have a happy hour after 2 pm. The staff are so friendly too. The only item that was a little strong was the iced tea with honey. And it can get very hot outside in the summer.

    Authentic greek, fresh, fast, and fantastic service! Great convenient location. We got the falafel and gyro, the falafel was so tasty and vibrant with color and the gyro had juicy tender shaved steak that was great! we will be coming back for more!

    So thankful this Mediterranean Café was open on a Saturday morning! They were busy, but the two people working did a great job keeping things moving. We also appreciated that this streetside café made use of an older bank drive-through, so there was plenty of shade from the sun from the overhang where the old chutes used to be.

    Kefi cafe is a must try for a tasty lunch or breakfast. This cute little street cafe is right in downtown Bradenton and is the perfect spot for a casual yummy lunch. It's all outdoors with fun Mediterranean vibes. You can order ahead and pick up too! The staff is super friendly and quick! I got strawberry mint Italian soda and peach Italian soda and wow so delicious and refreshing. I mean but the real star was the Gyro Pita. It was fantastic. The food was fresh and full of flavor. Coming from a Mediterranean background I promise this is a great tasting gyro. The coffee looked awesome too and is brewed with buddy brew coffee. You've got to come try this place! If you work in the area it's a perfect little walk and work lunch! Enjoy, I will be back!

    While on vacation, you must keep in mind... An outdoor Greek cafe is a lovely find. Coffee and kombucha with servers who are nice, Makes Kefi a place I'd definitely come back to visit once or twice. Whether hungry for breakfast or lunch, you know you need-a, An Apollo, Zeus, or any other pita. :) - AM

    Super cool wall paintings and yellow border on the windows! Here's where you can put your trash and empty plates.

    When you think of Bradenton you probably don't think of cafés, and honestly I wish that was different. Maybe it can be now, because of Kefi Streetside Cafe! I'm so glad I stopped by to try them! If you are in the area, and you are looking for coffee and some quick bites of food, then look no further! This is a little coffee window shop stop in the middle of Downtown Bradenton. The cafe offers food, small bites, delicious coffee and lattes, using our very own Florida's Buddy Brew Coffee.) And all with a fun decorative, Greek theme! I was pleasantly surprised not only by the inviting pops of color (blues and yellow will catch your eye, you can't miss it!) and the creative outside seating, but also by the nice, high quality coffee and espresso machine, and the kindness of the owners and employees! Very excited to share this spot, because there aren't many cafes in the area, especially really nice quality ones. So if you are a bit of a coffee lover, or just like delicious juices and lunch bites, than stop by and order something at The Kefi window. They basically don't have inside seating, but the outside has plenty of shading, and also sunny spots to sit at. It's a nice little environment and also perfect for grab n go! The parking lot is plenty for people to come and go, and you won't have trouble getting out of your car to get up and order! TLDR: Great coffee shop and little, quick service/order and go brunch cafe! Uses Buddy Brew coffee roasts, nice people, can find parking and you can find a spot to sit and chill! I'm definitely coming back to Kefi!:-)

    Finally, I got to experience this place. What a wonderful vibration. Jason, the owner is a cool cat. It's location is a little bit tricky to find. And a converted parking lot usually doesn't make for a comfortable place. This place is rockstar! I had the Apollo pita sandwich, and it was out of this world. Great taste!

    This is such a cute place for a quick breakfast or lunch! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The outdoor seating (no indoor seating) has plenty of shade and seating. And the food was great!

    Avocado toast!
    Kiley W.

    LOVED this place! We went before going for a nature walk and ended up staying for awhile! The staff were so sweet! The best atmosphere with the cutest wall! Avocado toast was sooo good!

    This place is so fun!!! Enjoy delicious flavors of the week while sitting in their open patio under string lights and hanging plants.

    This place is so fun!! Enjoy their delicious flavors of the week while sitting in their open patio under string lights and hanging plants! It's a small business so be patient as normally one person is working but you won't regret it!

    Such a cute spot
    Kat B.

    Such a cute new spot in the Bradenton area. It's a walk-up window where you order and there is plenty of sunny or shaded seating outside if you're not on the go. They have very thoughtful landscaping and super cool artwork on their building. We ordered a drip coffee, matcha latte w/honey (good quality matcha!) & to eat; a bagel (w/ fresh lemon dill cream cheese) and a yummy breakfast pita sandwich. The staff was very nice as well, would def come here again if in the area:)

    The Soula, Caramel Apple Cold Brew

    I wish I could give a million stars to this amazing place! I'm from Iowa and everytime I come to Bradenton I always make sure to stop here twice before I leave!!! The staff is amazing and brought water out to the dogs I dog sit, beautiful outside seating, and the soula avocado toast is amazing and also the Carmel apple cold brew. They never disappoint

    I was visiting on a work trip and after a three-hour drive, I desperately needed a place to sit…read moredown, unwind with a glass of wine, and enjoy a great meal. A quick Google search did not disappoint. I happened to be right across from a beautiful shopping center and spotted this stunning Greek restaurant. Mediterranean cuisine is my absolute favorite, so I was immediately excited. The only catch? I was cutting it close. They close at 9:00 PM on Thursdays, and I was just seven minutes away with about 30 minutes to spare. I decided to take my chances -- and I'm so glad I did. I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted by a very kind and welcoming bartender. I ordered two glasses of Pinot Grigio and an incredible platter with hummus, chicken skewers, olives, and sliced meats. The platter looked intimidating in the photo, but it's absolutely manageable for one person -- just be warned, the pita bread will fill you up quickly! Even though I felt a little guilty arriving close to closing and staying a bit past 9 to finish, the staff never made me feel rushed. If I hadn't felt bad about the timing, I absolutely would have ordered dessert -- and probably an espresso martini to top it off. Now I know for next time I'm back on the West Coast. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed with a classy, upscale feel -- even though I showed up looking like I had just survived a road trip (because I had). There's only so much glamour you can maintain after three hours in the car. I highly recommend coming here for dinner and then walking around the shopping area afterward. It's exactly my kind of shopping destination -- you truly have everything you could think of in one place. I just wish we had something like this closer to home.
