Buttermilk in Sarasota is always on point! Modern, fast, and consistently delicious. From the best coffee and teas to their buttery biscuits and that amazing espresso chocolate cake — everything hits the spot. The staff is super friendly, and the whole experience is fast and convenient. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Sarasota!

It’s an excellent place to enjoy a good coffee and have meetings, or simply relax while reading a book. I loved the atmosphere; I would definitely come back without thinking twice.

Free and easy parking just steps from the front door. I'd advise to get there early as am quite a line built up and certain bakery items do sell out. We ordered the avocado toast with greens, peanuts, and a hot sauce on brioche was tasty but at $11.25. Bathe biscuit with egg and pimento cheese was fluffy and perfect substitution for vegetarians. We took home the blueberry muffin and chocolate/espresso cake (muffin). We tried the blueberry muffin it was delicious but nothing you could not do yourself. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality, presentation, and location make it understandable. The staff were helpful, and the pastry case offered several eye-catching treats--some topped with colorful decorations that would especially appeal to children. (The kids next to us LOVED the cookies). AND I will leave a quote I like, The Simpsons' character Jacques, a French bowling instructor, once described brunch as: "It's not quite breakfast, it's not quite lunch…you don't get exactly what you would at breakfast, but you still get a good meal. ‘ You will get that here!

An absolute awesome cafe tucked away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. I love coming here and sitting a spell with a good meal, hot coffee and a good story to share with family and friends! The food is great, the service even better and atmosphere that eases any pain. If you haven't visited Buttermilk, you need to get it on your radar. You'll thank me for it!!

I ordered the chia bowl and an iced honey cinnamon cappuccino. The chia bowl was so fresh and delicious and the cappuccino was absolutely perfect.

I just discovered this place a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been hooked ever since… The service its amazing, the crew is so nice and friendly. The teas and the Chais are so tasteful. Their breakfast looks kind of small but not really, it’s very satisfying. Very good combination of flavor and the fresh made products are hard to avoid. Biscuits are delicious. I have had the avocado toast and also I’ve had the pimento cheese breakfast. Give it a try, you won’t regret.
