This place is Fantastic ! The sidecar was yummy. Great place for a special dinner and one of Sarasota's finest restaurants. If I was going to tell a visitor to the area to visit our city's best dining experience... this is it! #localgem

Finally got around to trying out another coffee house on Florida's west coast. The Clever Cup in Sarasota did not disappoint. Very good latte with an extra shot and a tasty turkey and cheese sandwich in a toasted croissant. Good seating and local jewelry and art. Worth the stop and several nearby places looked interesting for later exploring.
