A bit Confusing

I had a nice decaf oat latte here and the shop was cute and very nicely decorated. The server was kind checking if she had decaf coffee for me. I ordered and paid for a cinnamon roll thinking it was vegan. Only afterwards did I notice that there was a sign saying it was made with egg and milk. The server explained they are transitioning away from vegan. Maybe they aren’t getting enough business as indeed it was empty which is sad. Thankfully they have updated HappyCow to show it is a vegetarian place which would help with expectations. It looks like they have nice stuff on the menu.

Good food… but not a vegan restaurant

I enjoyed the food I bought but they falsely advertise as a vegan restaurant when they serve non vegan baked goods.

Disappointing

Met up with friends. The Reuben tasted like bland and the plant based meat was solid like cardboard and I couldn't taste the dressing. It came with a small bag of chips. Very expensive for what I got. I've been to much better vegan restaurants. I'll try somewhere else next time. It's a shame the food wasn't very fresh.

Pros: All vegan, Near the beach

Cons: Super salty , Not much of a selection , Expensive

Why are the Vegans the harshest people when leaving reviews. I dont understand it. We try our best, too bad you had a terrible experience. We are not too expensive, you just can't afford it.

I can afford food just not bad food. What a nasty reply and to think I changed my google review for you. I'm going to change that one back to my original review.

My New Favourite Place on Siesta Key

Lovely Acai Bowls, Good Gluten Free Dounuts, Muffins and Cookies. Delicious Vegan Egg & Sausage Patties. Fresh Juices and Nice Coffee #Veganuary

Pros: Lots of options for breakfast/lunch, Options to eat healthy vegan or Junk food vegan, Really Nice Smoothies & Coffee

Cons: Do not recycle (Strange for a Vegan Restaurant) , Plastic Straws

Disappointing

Most items not whole foods or very nutritious as their name and description states. They have Beyond burgers, nachos, processed vegan sausage and eggs as well as many other items. Not much effort on the vegan food for a full vegan restaurant. Most items are just quick vegan processed food they buy and resell. There is much better vegan food & beverages in town where the food and condiments/dressings/souces are made from scratch even at many restaurants that are not full vegan.

Cons: Unknowable and rude management/owner, Over priced mostly processed food, The name & description are not accurate

Thank you for your input. We have many healthy options but also must have the mentioned options for some. We have to appeal to all people.

Burgers were amazing!

The burgers were a tad pricey, but that is inevitable right now with vegan food. Tasted great!

Pros: Great taste

Cons: Little pricey, Didnt get potato salad side as menu describes

Great breakfast

Very nice with an all vegan place! Not to much to chose from at Siesta. Had a big brunch with many different things. Bagel was our favorite, bit also the most pricey item.

Pros: All vegan, Many options

Cons: Lots of single use plastic, Some things were a little pricey

I've had their element bowl, a smoothie, and their hazelnut toast and it was all pretty healthy and vegan! Decorated cute and the staff are really friendly.

Perfect

Love this little place with its healthy menu. Even my omni bf loved the not-tuna wrap. Fresh juices, healthy food, all in paradise. What’s not to love? There is even a little room with tables and chairs to eat in. It’s charming and the people are kind and helpful.

Fresh juices and drinks

This small juice bar has some food options too. The menu is similar to their other (larger) location Palmers not far away. For a small area (Siesta Key), it’s nice to have fresh juice and vegetable juices on the island!

Love!!!

I stopped in to pick up some food for a road trip the following day. I wanted to try everything!! I had a smoothie and grabbed tropical spring rolls, quinoa salad and tiramisu cheese cake for the road. Everything was delicious. I am so glad to have such awesome options when I come home. Sarasota county has come so far in the last few years.

Awesome Staff and Experience

Once I found this small whole-in-the-wall spot, I was immediately greeted by the staff member at the counter, allowed to look around at my own pace and then get a small tour of sorts (staff was also patient and answered all of my probing questions)! I was able to sample multiple spreads (all delicious) and then get a seemingly small, but filling (and also delicious) lunch.

Pros: All vegan and raw! Also non-food items in store

Cons: Small and hidden (but this can be good too)

Besides great food Marina is going to direction of being plastic-free.

Raw food is as tasty as it is healthy. I could lick the plate clean each time.

Pros: Everything is vegan. , Options for gluten-free., Organic is a plus.

Pros: Great raw vegan menu, Kind and knowledgeable staff, Raw whole desserts! A rare find!

Cons: Non!

Yummy stuff! Nice to sit in restaurant, or to take-out, because a wonderful beach is right across the street. The people who work there are nice too. I'd like the portions to be a bit bigger. Totally healthy, raw, vegan food -- beautiful. All raw and vegan, last I was in.

tasty!

Very nice folks here. We stopped by for a smoothie and got free samples of their veggie crackers and spreads. The smoothies were delicious! We want to go back and try some of the entrees.
