Crema's Take

This espresso-focused café in Sarasota has mastered the art of making you want to linger, whether you're ordering a perfectly pulled flat white or diving into their generously portioned breakfast sandwiches (the pimento cheese situation is real). The baristas genuinely know their single-origin beans—reviewers rave about their Ethiopian coffees and thoughtful pour-overs—and pair that expertise with a warmth that makes every visit feel like catching up with a friend who happens to pull exceptional shots.

Excellent coffee. The food looked delicious! I had cinnamon sugar toast. The atmosphere here is lovely, too.

Blew my socks off! This is the best Ethiopian coffee I’ve ever been served. We had 2 different drip coffees and a shot of espresso. The barista was quick, informative and friendly. We are from New Jersey and this was our first stop when we arrived to Sarasota.

Perq Coffee Bar is a cozy local café with a great vibe and consistently good coffee, and they also serve breakfast. I usually get a flat white, and it’s always spot on. The owner is super kind, and everything runs smoothly with no long waits, making it a perfect spot to relax or get some work done.

Dear Lord this was good. Just take a look at the breakfast sandwich oozing all of that pimento cheese goodness. A couple of us ordered this monster breakfast meal. None of us could finish it. The healthy among us ordered the oatmeal. They left nothing in their bowls and asked for some of our bacon. So, there you go. We had al ordered lattes and cappuccinos.Everyone was super satisfied with them. We all shared a donut -- delicious was the word on that. Really the "only" things to add are 1. The lines can get long. One person taking the ordering and making the coffee. That looked exhausting. 2. I heard only one person was in the kitchen, but I find that hard to believe. But we were a group of 6 and we had to wait a bit on our food. 3. Outdoor seating is strong.. Indoor seating is barstools only.

Exquisite iced coffee!! Expert, warm and helpful service! I stopped in for my first coffee of the day after a fasted medical test. The server told me that the dark iced coffee was single origin with berry notes. He didnt tell me it would be the best iced coffee I have ever had and I was delighted! Fast, beyond delicious! Outdoor and indoor seating. Oudoors along the beautiful streets near the hospital - great people watching and lovely shades for the tables.
