Crema's Take
“Merci Café brings an authentic slice of French charm to Sarasota with expertly executed classics like croques madames, perfectly brewed coffee, and buttery croissants that transport you straight to a Parisian patisserie. This is the kind of place where you linger over breakfast or brunch—whether it's their standout quiche and eggs Benedict or a thoughtfully composed cheese board—while attentive staff make you feel genuinely welcomed. With a cozy, character-filled atmosphere that draws a loyal crowd, it's become a neighborhood gathering spot where the food, coffee, and warmth of hospitality all hit their mark.”

What a fabulous place to kick off our anniversary. The quiche was delicious and croquet madame incredible. The staff were so kind and we will be back. Coffee just perfectly brewed!
We should give them 10 over 5. Amazing people, amazing place. Delicious cheese board and salads. The onion soup was impecable. Same with the Benedict eggs. All the brad and croissants a delight. And crepes flew off the table. Will surely be back. And of course we bought some macaroons for later. Super warm space great for quality family time with good food.
Merci Café is a must for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food and drinks were out of this world with flavors that popped and paired well together. Everything was relatively fast with excellent service. I would recommend this to anyone in the area and I will definitely come back.
A delish piece of France right in our backyard. Service was attentive & superb. Food is delicious & well presented. I felt as though I could be in a French patisserie with the lovely French background music. I ordered the Spinach Quiche served with a simple, yet (very) tasty salad with vinaigrette. I’m taking home a beautiful pistachio croissant for later. Please try this gem!
Wonderful Experience at Merci Café! We stopped in on a weekday afternoon and found it quite busy — parking was a bit tricky, which is always a good sign! The café itself is adorable. The décor is charming, everything was spotless (including the bathrooms), and the service was excellent. We started with the house-made pâté — absolutely wonderful and beautifully presented. I ordered the Croque Monsieur, which came with a fresh, vibrant salad. Everything was delicious. My husband had the salmon-stuffed croissant, and he enjoyed it so much that it disappeared before I could even snap a photo! Our drinks were also excellent. Overall, Merci Café impressed us in every way. I truly hope this place continues to thrive — we can’t wait to come back again and again. Merci, Merci Café! 🇫🇷💛
