We brought out of town family for breakfast. They loved the place until the waitress cleaned the table next to us with Spic & Span spray cleaner. We had just started eating & the smell oof the cleaner took our breath away & I was...so strong that our tastebuds were effected. I stopped eating & asked for a to go box. I was s sorry for everyone because they didn’t finish their meals. Purhaps they could switch to a natural cleaner with no smell!More

We are sorry about your experience with the flys. We do have little flys that gather on occasion but that is not a regular occurrence. We do our best to not have that happen and will continue to do our best to keep flys away....More

Excellent food, service and ambiance. Only drawback is the difficult parking situation. Just have to be patient. Very good biscuits and gravy with two eggs and grits. Two breakfasts, tax and tip of was $40. We’ll be back.

What a little quaint piece of heaven! The ambiance is so cozy and pretty. Always clean. We love the outside seating areas. We discovered this place a few weeks ago and we have been unable to stay away! After only a couple of visits then...a short hiatus, upon our return the staff questioned where we'd been! They missed us. My girls don't forget anything! They are upbeat and friendly! First, your friendly host Sandy. We felt at home upon first sight of her kind smile. Sandy you are a gem. Olivia served us consecutively on our last three visits. She's my niece...though she doesn't know that. Lol. She is just as pretty as she is pleasant. On one visit we shared that we were celebrating our 27th anniversary and Olivia had a special treat prepared for us! We never felt strangers to anyone we encountered. Ali is a doll, though she's been away sick and we haven't seen her lately. For me service is what keeps me returning so I had to get that out of the way. Now let's talk about the kitchen staff. I have yet to meet them but let me tell you they have a thorough understanding of the beauty of breakfast. They NEVER disappoint. The French toast and eggs Benedict are our faves. That says alot, as my husband has mastered them both. Thank you Breakfast Cottage for the amazing food and hospitality time and again. It's a 30 minute drive from our home, but good luck getting rid of us!More

Awesome food! The island pancakes were delicious as well as the sausage biscuits and gravy. Potatoes were crispy and good. Grits were good too! Everything was wonderful and we will come back.

This is my 3rd year visiting this hidden gem. The food and service consistent. Their menu consists of a variety of local favorites. Their Cajun omelette, tropical pancakes and biscuits and gravy are truly amazing. I look forward to eating here every time I visit...the Sarasota or Venice area.More

Read the reviews and went off that. Very dated inside…..recommend eating on patio if you go. Breakfast just okay. Banana pancakes were better than the plain but overall just okay. Reviews made this place seem so much better. Disappointed.

We have visited the breakfast cottage three times in the past couple years we have visited Florida and it never once has disappointed. The men in our family at first made jokes about the colorful decor, saying it was a place for women, but soon...changed their tune once they got their food. I usually order one of the specials but this last time we were there I ordered off the regular menu. The potatoes were tender and flavorful and the scrambled eggs were amazing. Definitely a MUST stop when we visit again!More
