Crema's Take

Waffle Monkey is a welcoming brunch destination in downtown Sarasota where creative waffles are the main event—think banana coconut combinations and thoughtfully executed gluten-free and vegan options that actually taste exceptional. The owners, including Pete, are genuinely invested in making your visit special, and the impeccable service pairs perfectly with their full breakfast menu and excellent chai tea, making it equally beloved by families lingering over leisurely meals and solo coffee enthusiasts seeking a friendly spot to settle in.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I have to rave about Waffle Monkey in Sarasota! I heard they have gluten-free waffles, and I was eager to see if they lived up to the hype. I’ve visited many other places that offer gluten-free breakfasts, but sometimes they just don’t quite hit the mark. My gluten-free waffle…
