Florence and the Spice Boys has that rare kind of energy where the room feels playful before the…read morefood even lands. Bright tile, plants everywhere, wicker chairs, color on color, but nothing feels forced. It is casual, comfortable, and still sharp enough to make lunch feel like a proper little escape. Lisette took great care of us, and the whole meal had that confident, spice-forward rhythm that makes this place easy to recommend. The Sweet Corn hummus was the sleeper hit, creamy and bright with just enough chili and lime to wake everything up. The Spice Boys Burger is absolutely worth ordering, especially if you want something familiar that still has personality. The Falafel Bowl with harissa was fresh, colorful, and loaded with texture, and the pita on the side made it even better. I also loved the dragon fruit hibiscus iced tea, which was refreshing without being boring. Bonus points for being kid-friendly without watering down the menu. The kids had the kids' nuggets, a kids' cheeseburger, and finished with the pretzel cookie, so the table covered a little bit of everything. For the quality, portions, atmosphere, and service, it felt like a meal worth coming back for. This is the kind of Sarasota spot that makes you start planning the next order before you've even left.

I checked out their menu earlier in the day and was very much looking forward to trying their Pappardelle, Funghi e Salsiccia, a sausage and mushroom pasta dish with a creamy panna sauce. I was not disappointed. In fact, I found my food absolutely delicious. I loved the mushrooms, the sausage, and the sauce really tied it all together. Service was fine, maybe just a little slow at the end getting the bill, but we were in no hurry. Very helpful, one person in our group had some dietary restrictions which were accommodated.

We were in and out in no time, the Waffle was light and fluffy as it should be and the Mango added a nice touch along with the whip cream...did not need any heavy syrup at all. The Omletet was very cheesy and cooked perfectly as well....I'd have added ketchup but got the side-eye for suggesting it. Highly recommend making this a stop if you're in the area!

They seem to wait on tables as a group so no one really checks in during breakfast.

Perfectly crisp bread, super fresh, and packed with flavor. The home fries were a standout as well... they tasted just like something my mom or grandma would make--lightly pan-fried with garlic and seasoning, simple and perfect. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon--and she never eats bacon--but said it was delicious and ended up finishing all of it, which says everything. Coffee was solid, the entire place was spotless, and the interior has that cozy, homey feel that makes you want to hang out a little longer. Without a doubt, I'll be back.

8.5/10 good stuff…read more ive had these donuts a few times. they're quite large so there's a lot to chew on. the flavors they have on display are also great but a lot of the time i do feel they are overly sweet (biggest recipient of this hinderance would be the cookie monster flavor, the icing is just too much) but it's not that bad a lot of the time as well. the service is good and the ambiance is also good. i do feel the timing of this association is quite rough though; only being open from 7:00am-2:00pm for a snoozer like me isn't great but i understand why that is.

This morning (January 30th, 2026) we arrived to pick up a box of pastries. The employee on duty was loudly taking a personal call, and refused to acknowledge us in any way. Not even eye contact or a gesture to say "one minute!" We stood there awkwardly waiting for her to finish, as she spoke of things we were not meant to hear. (Finances, payments, bills, etc). Only after concluding her call did she grudgingly acknowledge us, but it was with a bad attitude. She was immediately snappy, offered no greeting, apology or explanation, and rushed through our order. By the time she finally spoke to us (rudely no less), I was ready to walk out due to time constraints. I didn't appreciate the lack of professionalism from a place I frequent often and enjoy eating at. Sadly, it'll be back to Gold Star Donuts for us until the customer service team can improve on this. The donuts are great, but not good enough to wait 10 minutes for such poor treatment from staff.
