First Time here and everything was a pleasant experience. I love the menu options, the patio area, the staff and the great food. Definitely a place to keep in mind next time in Sarasota.

I was looking for an easy place to bring six people and a baby. The menu online had a good variety and I figured this place would be acceptable. It turned out, as we all agreed, to be exceptional! Everything was fresh and homemade. We had three of the six soups of the day and they were each phenomenal, and served with a piece of baguette that reminded me of a cafe in Paris. I had the apricot glazed salmon salad and it was generously portioned and perfectly cooked. The desserts looked fantastic and I would try them next time for sure.

Nice ambiance. Friendly and prompt staff. High quality, presentable food. Definitely a 5 star food joint but at $15 for a breakfast burrito it is quite pricey.

This restaurant gets a solid 10! On a Sunday afternoon at 1 pm, we had a short wait. The staff was brilliant, very informative, patient, friendly. And The Food- It was incredible! I had the Reuben salmon sandwich. It was THE BEST reuben I have ever had! Not sure how I didn’t know about this place, but I will be back! And soon!!

Went there to get falafel but unfortunately it’s only available for special occasion. They were busy, and as others restaurant struggles, looks like they don’t have enough server. I waited and finally sitting myself in one open table. The food was good. I ordered the thanksgiving day sandwich. They have plenty outdoor tables and lot of parking spot (which I didn’t know and parked 2 streets away).

Had a super delicious lunch and would happily revisit over and over again. Even the side salads included with sandwiches were inspired, with pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries. I can’t wait to try more next time!

We came here from Colorado and were extremely happy with Fresh Start Cafe. The owner is very friendly, professional and courteous. Definitely one of the best places we’ve eaten on this trip. Highly recommended.
