Awesome dinner here (after having been shut out last night because of a huge party that took up the entire place) But well worth the wait. While the emphasis here is not necessarily on "fine dining", our meals spoke otherwise! I got the duck, DH got the filet - medium rare. The sides were mashed potatoes, and roasted asparagus. Everything was excellent! Decided to indulge in dessert and went with the molten chocolate cake. Best we've ever had, and we've had a few! Our waiter, Joe, was awesome! He was raised here, and is happy to be settled here. Love that about some of these people, that not everyone is a transplant! He went above and beyond. Wish we could take him home with us.

The crostini on my Caesar salad was very old I watched them take it from a clear container that was sitting out without a cover! I had to return my salad because the wasabi dressing was way too spicy The ambiance is not welcoming. I had to go up and ask if we just sit anywhere or they seat us. Don't waist your money! Frozen pizza from the supermarket would taste better! The server was nice.

The seating area was really nice with plenty of seats and tables. Wish someone was willing down the tables as there were a number of tables that were sticky. The line was long, but moved quickly. The setup to order was oddly positioned, but seems like you'd order where the line forms and then pickup closer to the street, however the set up isn't that way. Went to get some shirts but the lady working was simply rude and we left. Overall, not a bad place to grab a bowl, smoothie or coffee.

The açaí bowls this time were a miss -- not frozen and way too soft, more like a smoothie than a bowl. Not even close to what we're used to at Sweet Blenz in Vero. Still a good spot overall, just order wisely.

The line…read morewas long, but the staff kept things moving quickly, and it's easy to see why this place is so popular. I tried the Road Trip flavor along with a seasonal vanilla and chocolate flavor, and both were rich, bold, and delicious. The portions were generous, and the ice cream held up all the way to the beach. The shop has a fun, nostalgic atmosphere with throwback toys and family-friendly vibes. I also loved being able to scan the menu while waiting in line. The cookies and giant fudge bars are definitely on my list for next time. A great ice cream stop that I'd happily visit again!

You can tell it's a true island gem just by how busy it stays. Seating is limited, so you put your name on the list outside and wait until they come get you, but it moves as people cycle through. We ended up sitting at the bar, which turned out perfect. Our server was super sweet, funny, and had that kind of personality that just makes the whole experience better. Now the food? Exactly what I needed. My sandwich hit the spot -- no complaints at all. And the prices were really good, especially for the area. You can tell this place has been around for a reason. My uncle loved his food too. Just a note before you go: they are cash only, but there's an ATM next door with a small fee, and they also accept Zelle. Definitely a spot we'd come back to anytime we're in the area.

"Coffee So Good It Practically Woke Me Up for Life"…read more Breezy, cozy, and island‑chic. Perfect for sipping a latte while plotting world domination, writing postcards, or just enjoying the tiny paradise vibes of Anna Maria Island. Friendly, knowledgeable, and slightly magical -- like they can read your caffeine needs before you even order. Baristas clearly care about both coffee and your life choices. Rich, smooth, and decadent enough to make you forget your Monday blues. Every sip whispers, "Yes, you can conquer today." Cold brews are chill, lattes are velvety, and every cup feels like a little victory. Fresh pastries and baked goods that could double as motivation to get out of bed. Warning: you might want one of everything, and you won't regret it. Brewed Monday Coffee is the kind of place where a "quick stop" turns into a mini-vacation. I came in half-asleep and left fully inspired -- and very caffeinated. Highly recommend if you want your coffee to taste like happiness with a side of island charm.
