One of the waitstaff recognized me. So nice! I highly recommend visiting here!

I usually go out to dinner focused on good food and service, not necessarily health, but this place…read moredelivers all three. Everything is all-natural and organic, which really sets it apart. It's also located in the oldest building along US 41 between Venice and Tampa, built in 1923 and once home to the first bank and post office in Sarasota County. Definitely a fun bit of history you don't expect with your meal. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with shaded outdoor seating and a cozy, bright indoor dining room. While they offer plenty of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options, I went for the classic corned beef Reuben on marble rye with a side of organic, gluten-free mac and cheese. Both were excellent, and the clear dietary labels on the menu were a nice touch. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're looking for great food with healthy options.

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.

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!
