Why We Picked It

A longtime, award-winning French bakery and café right on Main Street in the heart of Downtown Sarasota — genuinely walkable from the area's hotels — with a daily breakfast and pastry program of quiche, crêpes and fresh-baked bread.

MAX Insider Tip — It's known for breakfast and pastry rather than a formal weekend brunch menu — go for croissants, quiche and crêpes rather than a bottomless-mimosa format.
