We loved everything about this family owned business from the service and quality of food. They do a wonderful job and looking forward to visiting their other location downtown. My only complaint would be the lack of comfort of their chairs. Other than that, no complaints.

Nestled between ice cream stores, art galleries, and clothing stores, you'll find this vegan haven. It has a few tables outside on the sidewalk and a few more inside. The food is very tasty, and there are of course lots of options for various dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, lactose, etc). We had the sweet potato avocado toast (the sweet potato acts as the toast) and a regular avocado toast. Both were tasty, but the avocado toast was not super filling. For drinks try the very tasty (but pricey) juices.

This place is so cute AND they have clean food and organic coffee! This is a seat yourself place even though it doesn’t appear that way when you walk in. It is a smaller place but does have some covered seating outside. I tried their signature banana pancake. I’m glad I didn’t see what it looked like before I chose that because I wouldn’t have ordered it if so. I was not expecting what it was at all but it was amazing! I chose it because there were 45g of natural protein! It was very filling, be sure to see my picture. It reminds me of a home made granola base. There are also freshly made juices and elixirs. If you are mindful about food choices, this place is for you. But there’s also options for the spouse that things you’re crazy about how you eat. The menu is actually huge! Very impressed.

We had lunch at Green Zebra Cafe and really enjoyed it. I had the BLT with sweet potatoes and a health shot — everything tasted super fresh and was full of flavor. My wife had a smoothie and a mocha latte, and she loved both. The staff was very helpful and genuinely nice, which made the experience even better. The place has a simple, relaxed vibe — you can tell they care about good food and good service. The only thing is that the portion could be a little bigger, but overall we left happy and we’ll definitely be back.

Order at the counter healthy food making this one different from the one in downtown Sarasota but I liked it! St Armand’s is heaven and only one block from the beach. The avocado toast was perfection

This is my favorite salad and smoothie spot in Sarasota! I love the St. Armands salad. They use fresh, quality ingredients in all their recipes. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.

We visited from TN and we can't wait to come back and eat here again. The food is fresh and healthy. So many gluten free options too since my husband has celiac and I am gluten intolerant. The staff are so nice and willing answer any questions you have. Definitely a 10 out of 10

I just had an AMAZING lunch and conversation with Everson. He made us feel warm and welcomed. The care and attention he gave us was top level and the environment was inviting. The Green Zebra has a great atmosphere, is very clean and the food is awesome. But the real winner for me was the service. If you want a great healthy meal, in a great environment, with a friendly staff go to Green Zebra. Have a chat with Everson, I’m confident you’ll made this as new favorite!
