Pastry Art Cafe

Vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was very thoughtful and accommodating. We started with the breakfast bowl, chicken salad sandwich, iced latte and matcha. The barista, Chloe did a beautiful job at crafting our beverages, as pictured. It was the perfect spot for a light breakfast or lunch. The star of the show was the chicken salad sandwich.

There's so many fresh bakery items to choose from, we ordered the blueberry muffin, spinach feta croissant and blueberry donut to go. I already dipped into the feta and spinach croissant and will definitely be back for more!

I love this little cafe. Ham and Swiss breakfast croissant's, chocolate and almond are also pretty darn tasty. They also have tasty coffee options as well.

I love the spot downtown also. There nice art on the walls and great outside seating to watch the world go by.

Every time I'm around downtown Sarasota I really try to stop in and get something from here. I love their pastries and most of all I love their blueberry muffins and their coffees. Their hot sandwiches are also really good so I highly suggest getting that but if you like pastries, I will go for the muffinsfor sure.

Stopped by on a Thursday for lunch. Had a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, tried a Carmelo latte and grabbed a couple chocolate cookies to go.

The cookies were delightfully soft and large. Sandwich was great, had grapes and the perfect amount of crunchiness, warmth and flavor. Came with chips. Carmello was quite sweet though I ordered it with half as much flavor syrup as usual.

It has potential but I can name a few better coffee spots off top of my head in DT Sarasota.

The good: good location, right next to the market on weekends. Great selection of pastries. Wide selection of coffee drinks, and separate craft latte menu with creative flavors like PB&J, cinnamon roll and more.

The bad: it's kind of pricey. Craft latte is $6.49, just about when you thought that Starbucks got expensive this place has prices even higher. It tastes good, don't get me wrong -- we tried PB&J in hot version and cinnamon roll in iced version and enjoyed them both, but come on.

Moving on so Suntan, which is lemonade with a shot of espresso. Also not cheap, but this much be the worse lemonade with espresso I've tried. It's a popular drink and I enjoy it, very much refreshing, but they serve it with lemonade that is just waaaaaay too sweet. That overly sweet lemonade taste does not mix well with espresso, the sweetness needs to be toned down. If you've never tried this drink don't do it here because it will disappoint.

Finally, I had bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and I thought it was a good value until I got it in my hands. Tiny. Tasted good though. Needs to be double the size, however.

So if you crave for a latte with unusual flavor, sure go ahead and pick one from the craft latte menu, it'll cost you but at least it's unique. Otherwise I just can't think of why would I come back here.

I had the Avocado toast delivered. The taste was great , it was ice cold though which did take from the experience. If it's served warm in the cafe itself, then it's a good choice

Delicious coffee and friendly service, nice patio to sit at outside. The pastries looked good too, but was trying to save my appetite for dinner...I would return.

Delicious food and sweets, and great coffee.
Tim is the star of the show here. So kind and cheerful. He keeps the line moving and yet makes you feel welcome and the center of attention. He's knowledgeable on the menu and makes suggestions if you're undecided.
This is always my first stop during Saturday's Farmer's Market.

We popped in for a quick lunch and were very impressed with the service and the food! We shared the Turkey Bacon Avocado and the Cuban Sandwich. For dessert, the cheesecake is a MUST! Yum! Ask for Vidalia, she's the sweetest barista!

What a sweet cafe. We stumbled upon this cafe on a busy Saturday morning in Sarasota. The line was long but moved swiftly. I got an espresso muffin which was GIANT and had a good topping, but was slightly dry, then had a ham and cheese croissant. This croissant was flaky and had delicious filling! I wish I had tried their coffee! Definitely got very busy since the farmers market was downtown and one of my orders was forgotten, but they were very kind about it. Make sure you get there early, especially if you want patio seating!
