Blue Dolphin Cafe
470 John Ringling Blvd, Sarasota, FL
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Sarasota's St. Armands Circle, Blue Dolphin Cafe delivers genuinely exceptional breakfasts in a spotless, unpretentious space that feels refreshingly well-maintained compared to typical beach-town cafes. Their strength lies in simple, generous comfort food—think perfectly executed pancakes, bacon, and eggs—paired with impressively hot coffee and a staff that treats you like a regular even on your first visit.”

DANG! I think this may have been the best breakfast spot I've been to on vacation. Seriously. It was very clean. Not sticky and worn out like a lot of small cafes in beach towns. The service was incredible. So friendly and fast! The menu had both breakfast and lunch all day. They also had mimosas! We, of course, had the mimosas but we also had pancakes and French toast, with a side of eggs and bacon. Everything was delicious! Reasonable prices too. If i lived in the area, I would be here nearly every day for sure. Highly recommend.
Love HOT COFFEE, which they serve!! Awesome! Breakfast food is average but still recommend eating here. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere!
We stopped by Blue Dolphin in St. Armands Circle for breakfast and loved it! My husband and I got the pancakes, bacon, eggs, and potatoes — simple but so delicious. Everything came out fresh, and the vibe was super relaxed.
🏴☠️ Arrr, a Return to the Blue Dolphin Tavern! ☠️🍽️ Ahoy, me mateys! After years adrift on the high seas, we finally sailed back to the Blue Dolphin Café, only to find that the crew had changed, the rations be heartier, and aye… the loot required to dine be a bit steeper! But let me tell ye, the crispy waffle was golden as a pirate’s doubloons, the bacon had a crunch that’d wake Davy Jones himself, and the service? Smoother than a ship glidin’ on a fair tide! Strangest thing o’ all? The place was dead empty! We used to fight through a horde o’ hungry landlubbers just to get a seat. This time, we strolled in like royalty, no cutlass needed. Would we return? Aye! The food be worth it, even if we have to trade a few extra gold coins. If ye haven’t been in a while, hoist yer sails and give it another go—ye won’t be walkin’ the plank over this one! ⚓️🐬🏴☠️
If you want simple and filling breakfast look no further. This is a good place for quick yet friendly and genuine service. The food was tasty and delivered quickly. Big portions we couldn’t finish. Took leftovers to go. Overall good experience.
