Honestly one of the best turkey sandwiches I’ve had. I’m a simple girl so I never want anything like super fancy regarding my sandwiches. But the Brandenturkey without bacon was so nice! I did get avocado in replacement but it was a refreshing sandwich! The cashier was really nice! Love a good outlander story .
This is my aunts(Michelle)business and I really like the food I wish I knew of it sooner . 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've never been here before or heard of this place until a friend took me. Atmosphere was relaxing and pleasant.
I had the Bird Key (chicken salad) on a French baguette. I now have a FAVORITE chicken salad sandwich! I look forward to going back soon and trying something else!
I love and hate this place. When I work downtown Sarasota, I got there smoke salmon sandwich. I love everything about that except the lettuce. It’s a healthy lettuce. But an iceberg lettuce would go better. So I order it with no lettuce. But now I work in Lakewood Ranch. Every time I’m downtown at seems to be after two and a very close. 😘
Love everything I’ve ever ordered from here! Fresh ingredients, friendly staff and a cool atrium area to eat in during your lunch hour.
The Braden-Turkey was amazing, the fries outstanding. The place has also a cool vibe to it, super friendly staff. Highly recommend!
The pastry is so good. They have good espresso too so espresso drinks are also delicious. Leave a tip!
Loved the vibe, the staff (one guy) was very nice. Food was good but nothing crazy specialz
Wonderful little find!
Delicious coffee!
Delightful owners!
Cannot wait to come
Back!
Drive past this place a million times and finally stopped in and I should have done it ages ago. I order the #4 panini, hummus, and a cookie. The sandwich was D-licious l! Fresh tomatoes, bacon crispy but not burnt, and that pesto aioli made it perfect. The only reason I’m not goving 5 stars is because they FORGOT MY COOKIE!!! So bummed but I will be back.
Great sandwiches and home made chips, just a little pricey
This is a hidden gem in the building. It is really a hidden gem (can't see the store from outside). Their sandwiches are fresh and delicious. They also make cookies by themselves (not the cupcakes).
Owners are friendly and personable.
Here are tips:
Parking: you can park your car in their parking garage (free and no validation is needed)
Service: very friendly and attentive
Food: Above average for sandwiches
Ambiance: Great for a sandwich shop
My husband and I frequent this place often. We think they have great food! We love the owner and the staff, especially Jim!
It was my first time going to Michelle’s Brown Bag Café and I am already looking forward to going back. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff was so friendly. We stayed an extra 20 minutes after we were done eating to chat with them. The chicken salad sandwich was so good that halfway through my meal I ordered one to go for my mother. The lox, eggs, cream cheese and capers on a bagel was so tasty. Definitely order the chocolate chip cookie and brownie as well. Oh yeah, we ordered a second chocolate chip cookie to go because it was so good. It was a wonderful experience. Fantastic job Michelle’s Brown Bag Café!
Traveled for work and my co workers mentioned this place to me. I had a mushroom, onion and tomato panini and it was outstanding. For light and delicious. If you are in the downtown Sarasota area try this place out.
Pretty good.
I didn't care too much for what I had ordered but I was trying something new.
I had great service while ordering at the register, but it did take a while for the food to come out and I wasn't the only one waiting for quite some time.
When the food came out, it was wrong, along with another gentleman that was not with me. Although it was quickly fixed!
Always pleasure to eat here. Great customer service and food.
One of my favorite places for lunch.
