Coffee Carrousel

That sat us at 11:23am, without a fuss even though they close at 11:30am, which was respectable. They do close at 11:30 strictly though. This is a Basic and Simple Diner Breakfast. The best part is how fast and how cheap the food is. Don’t expect anything beyond that and you won’t be disappoint. The staff are sensible and professional. Just don’t expect them to be your best friend. They are working hard and they are on their feet. This is a reliable local breakfast place. It has work-class charm and an unpretentious comfort to the vibe. They had no avocado as a side option , but they did offer poached eggs, which is a nice healthy bonus. I’m grateful for the poached eggs. Took a risk and tried the corn beef hash as a side. Nice modest portion and it was tasty. Mixed it in with my two poached eggs and enjoyed it with a lovely tasty side salad that was not over-Dressed. The lettuce they used was quality which I appreciate it. They don’t use Romain or iceberg lettuce for their salads. I’m so pleased about this. There’s definitely way to a healthy clean eating meal there. They didn’t have fresh salsa, but they did have bottled Cholula hot sauce. Great place to grab an analog newspaper before you go and sit by yourself and eat breakfast. Or do some reading. It felt like a real East Coast Diner.

The driver at my hotel recommended this as a good breakfast spot. I’m so glad that I listened. It is a comfortable little spot with wonderful and kind staff. I ordered the veggie omelette with potatoes. It was absolutely delicious. I wish I would have taken a picture. The portion was great. The diced potatoes were my favorite and cooked so perfectly. Highly recommend!

Awesome nine course semi-private gourmet dinner at coffee carousel previewed their planned opening of dinner hours starting January 26 on Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays. Chefs Eric and Cody delivered the exceptional food we have come to expect from them, all beautifully presented and embellished with unusual touches like gold flakes, cucumber ash, and tasty sauces. Be sure to check it out.

Great little breakfast spot! It's like going back in time... Family run, old school diner. The food and the service were fantastic. If you like iced coffee, they have the best in town. I don't know what their secret is, but I drink it black so there is no masking bad coffee with cream and sugar. They have both indoor and outdoor seating as well. I'm definitely putting them in my Saturday morning breakfast spot rotation 👍

A treasure hidden in plain view. The Coffee Carrousel is located conveniently on Main Street, but it's easy to pass by. This is the home away from home for locals and a takeout favorite for business people. I love this little retro restaurant. After a few visits, I was invited to join a group of regulars. They have since become close friends. At the Carrousel, that happens often. Monday through Friday you'll find home cooked food at friendly prices. A rarity in Sarasota. And there's always a comfy place for you at the long counter or at tables seating from two to twelve. An ample breakfast and lunch special is offered daily. You'll find traditional favorites for each holiday with decorations to match. The Carrousel has been family owned and operated for over 30 years. When their mother, Nancy, retired, Julie and Amy took charge. They serve food as well as oversee the menu and all food preparation. The cook, Denise, handles orders quickly and efficiently. This is the place for homemade comfort food without the mess. There are many days when we all need the TLC.
