Tasty. What's not to love? There's even a water fountain. You can go many times to Nokomis Beach and not even know it's here. But now you know. You're welcome. There's also a an eatery on the North Jetty Beach just up the road / beach area along with a playground and grill areas. Near the jetty pier. Was getting renovated June 2021.

September 27, 2025 - 2 for lunch takeout…read more Never been here and somebody volunteered to pick up and PAY!!!! Doing 10 hours of guard duty so was looking forward to the lunch. When I ordered seemed a "little" expensive ($9.75 to start and then $2.45 for Tofu +++ for quinoa and other healthy topping?) , but I must say as a unethical selfish vegan (not about the animal and its all about MY health) or more aptly a Nutritarian eater, there were plenty of components and ingredients for a healthy meal. I would have gone for black, or garbanzo beans or even peas??? for sure but no vegetable proteins on the chart?? Ordering is a bit of a pain. My co-worker who is a regular there says most folks order a signature wrap and he said some comments about my a la carte order? So for that I might suggest a Signature Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) Wrap or Salad and the 5% of us who are vegan, vegetarian, WFPB, Nutritarian etc could just click a button? The sandwich was very good the way I ordered it, and it was prepared exactly and perfectly. Fresh ingredients and the wrap was nice. I will have to check this out in person at some point!!!

I wanted to love this coffee shop but the ice coffee tastes off, my husband couldn't drink it. Also…read morewe got a cinnamon bun, they asked if we wanted it heated. We said yes, but they heated it in the plastic container. In this day and age we all have learned about microplastics. That was a bit shocking.

I had the opportunity to grab a quick mid-afternoon coffee while on the island. Many coffee shops…read morearound here close early, but I wanted a caffeine boost, so this spot was an easy choice. When I walked in, both owners were present. They're doing a great job getting the business off the ground, and they've only been open for three months. I drank a medium roast Guatemalan coffee, which is known for its unique flavor profile and high quality. Apparently the Guatemalan is one of the most sought-after coffees in the world. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it to be full-bodied with rich flavors. While I didn't get a chance to try their baked goods this time, I plan to on my next visit. Bottom line... I'm confident this café will quickly become a favorite among Venice coffee enthusiasts. Salute!

Review for Smoothie King - Venice, FL…read more I just moved to Florida from Texas and was excited to try the Smoothie King here in Venice, since I used to go all the time back home. Unfortunately, my experience was really disappointing. I ordered 2 smoothie bowls, which cost me $20.89 even after using $6 in Smoothie Bucks, and the containers weren't even half full. The pictures I've posted show exactly what I mean. In Texas, every bowl I ordered was filled to the top of the container, so this was a real letdown. For the price, I expected the same level of quality and consistency I'm used to from Smoothie King. Instead, it felt like I paid full price for a half-serving. Not a great first impression of this location. I really hope management takes this feedback seriously because Smoothie King is usually one of my favorites--but I'll be thinking twice before coming back here again.

Located right near a public entrance to one of the beaches of Venice, Florida, Pilot House is a…read moregreat spot to get a quick lunch whether you're enjoying the beach or there on business to do a building repair bid. Albeit this visit was for the second purpose, Pilot House seemed like the perfect spot to stop in my cargo pants and work shirt :) I enjoyed a cold brew coffee (gotta have that caffeine for the drive back), bacon cheeseburger and fries. The lettuce & tomato tasted fresh, and they customized the onions away. The cheese was only American cheese and the bacon had a nice crisp, plus I added bbq sauce. Besides pretty solid beachfront burgers, Pilot House doubles as a souvenir shop with Venice FL branded merch such as koozies and sweatshirts when you want to bring gifts for the folks back home. The building itself is pretty cool with its high pitched concrete shell roof (yes I look at those things). Plus, again, it's steps from the beach and next to free city parking.
