friday favorites: sarasota

It has been forever since I have posted a friday favorites just about a little spot in Sarasota that I am obsessed with and feel it is necessary to share with you, but lately, I have just been loving this city. Maybe it's the warmer weather approaching? Who knows. But let me tell you, Station 400 is my new favorite breakfast spot in town. Mimicked to look like an old rail road station, there is nothing about this place that isn't perfection. From the mismatched chairs to the cute little alley on the side to the food, I cannot wait to return to try different things on the menu.

Here let me make your mouth water. How about some apple stuffed and almond crusted croissant french toast with cranberry butter and hard cider syrup? Or would you like some strawberry and lavender, strawberry butter and vanilla bean syrup pancakes? Or does an Italian omelet with fresh mozzarella with marinated artichokes, olives, roasted peppers, and tomatoes sound better? I could have looked at the menu forever and still not have known which would have been the best to get. Hey I have an idea. How about we all meet here in Sarasota (all 500 of you) and order different menu items and have a potluck. A little of this, a little of that, and we all leave best friends stuffed with syrups and coffee. Sound like a plan?

Oh Sarasota. I've lived in you for 20 years and you still have places to explore. I just love ya.
Have you tried any new spots in your town lately?
