C'est La Vie - Pastries Breakfast & Dinner

A wonderful place for outdoor breakfast or lunch. Service was attentive and quick. The food was very good as well. Atmosphere is very 'Sarasota' (lots of small dogs in laps and under tables) the place is pricey but in line with the area. Waits can be significant so arrive a bit on the early side. (The selection of French bakery items is amazing!!)

Me and my husband come to Sarasota frequently and every time we come we try to explore a new breakfast place. C’est La Vie is now at the top of our list! The apricot croissant is so delicious we had to get another one before we left. All their pastries and baked goods are made fresh. My husband ordered an avocado toast and I got an omelette. Both were pretty tasty. The fruit bowl had kiwi and fresh fruits! Usually other breakfast places just put a few grapes, one strawberry and dried out pieces of melon. This was not the case at all, which was a nice surprise. We’ll be back soon!

Best breakfast we had in Siesta! Cappuccinos were great, even better when dipping a Palmier pastry in it! 🥐 All our dishes were 10/10. Highly recommend! We also tried the Nutella, Strawberry, and Banana with whipped cream crepe. It was delicious! 🍓
