C'est La Vie - Pastries Breakfast & Dinner

Had brunch here Friday morning with several friends. Staff greeted us inside quickly and were very friendly when telling us we’d probably fit better outside. We attempted to rearrange some tables together but staff willingly intervened to help when we just weren’t figuring it out. I ordered a coffee, smoked salmon croissant with a garden salad, they were all delicious. The coffee was one of the better black coffees I’ve ever had, and the sandwich had the perfect amount of meat on it too. I shared an almond croissant with another girl and it was so good that she ended up buying several more to eat the rest of the weekend. Overall, great place for a nice shaded outdoor breakfast with friendly staff.

Loved everything about this place. The french lady was so cute she told my husband the salad was big enough and he didn't need to order more food. My panini with prosciutto and mozzarella was lovely and the desert was out of this world. I could have had 3 of them! Highly recommended. It's busy so go there early.

I absolutely love this place it has a nice seating area outside and the ambiance beautiful and peaceful. I come here very often for their almond croissant and literally anything you try here you will love. My go to breakfast is the "French Breakfast" because they give you a crunch croissant with your breakfast and is super filling overall. If you want a GOOD place to eat, this is the spot!

nice food presentation and tasty😋! you can dine in outdoor under the trees. they got pretty decoration as well. my favorite are puffy double cappuccino and crepes. we are traveling and so tired so that would be a good choice for brunch. but street parking is not free😂.

We had a lovely lunch here. The outside dining was full so, we ate inside. Our server Daniel (actually, from Romania - a great guy) was perfectly attentive. I love it when I can catch eye-contact with the server and they are looking for it (vs ignoring the diners). The french beer was tasty and we had croissant sandwiches (salmon for me) and the tomato with goat cheese soup...apricot flan for dessert. The food was excellent. They also had panini (Italian?) and if it's anything like we had, I'm sure it's good stuff. Also, check-out the pasteries and desserts when you walk in (see the pics) pretty awesome!

One of my favorite places to come for breakfast downtown. This place has quite a menu of choices but they’re bakery is second to none. We typically either get the croissant sandwich, because their croissants are to die for or the quiche. Outdoor seating is really nice but inside it has a really interesting unique atmosphere. As a local broker owner of a real estate company, I often get asked where to go to eat. This is one of my favorite choices to tell people for breakfast. Bon appétit.

Went for a stroll on Main Street and an espresso and pastry seemed the right thing to do at that moment. We each had a pastry which was waaay tooo good! Should have shared one but when u see these desserts it seems almost impossible to not want your own at the end of the day! We sat street side! Service was prompt and friendly! Gonna make this a bit of a routine. A very civilized way to spend an hour on a beautiful afternoon.

So cute, so tasty, and pretty quick!! Pictured is the almond croissant, double espresso, and the Campagnarde crepe. The almost croissant was so buttery and fluffy while the crepe was savory with an amazing mushroom sauce! This is such a fun little place for a Saturday breakfast before going to the farmers market! We like to get a baguette to go and get some fresh veggies at the market!

My favorite place in Sarasota, I feel like I'm back in France. Best Steak Frites I've had in the states. Breakfast, lunch and dinner here are amazing. Lovely owners and staff. Always feel welcome and at home.

It only took one experience here at C’est La Vie to make me want to become a regular. My first order was a croissant sandwich accompanied by the soup of the day. Everything was incredibly flavorful and left a lasting impression. The restaurant is very cozy, has fantastic pastries, and Melissa provided excellent service. Overall felt incredibly welcomed and relaxed for such a busy environment 10/10 would recommend.
