Central Sarasota
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.

"The service, cleanliness, and amenities are excellent. The hotel is also walking distance from restaurants and activities. Unfortunately, the construction next to the hotel work us up at 5:00 am. The noise was nonstop. It also ruined our plans to relax by the pool before heading home."
