Sun Garden Cafe

Hands down the best breakfast place on Siesta Key, this indoor-outdoor cafe features a breezy ambience and gracious service, along with a seasonal menu of freshly made egg dishes, breakfast sandwiches, waffles, pancakes (try the banana ones), French toast (cookie butter stuffed French toast is the one), omelets, biscuits, and more. They also have something called Grateful Dead pudding with toffee sauce. Whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed, but if you do choose Elvis’s fried chicken plate at lunch, you better come hungry. Our recommendation? The Phish sandwich (charred mahi with remoulade and guacamole). There’s a definite pattern here, and we dig it.
