O & A Coffee and Supply (Waterside Place)

Absolutely awesome coffee. Cold brew notes are wonderful and nutty. Bold but strong and only need a little milk (not even). Cute branding and colors. Wonderful selection of pastries, canned beverages that aren’t coffee and beautiful shop. Love the green tiles and glass garage door. Obviously in a great location on the waterside. Will be back for sure! Kind employees :)

Staff was so friendly and the coffee shop is very cute. Espresso drinks are double shot’s automatically. I got one drink and went back for another, I was definitely impressed. Coffee has a good flavor and the seating area outside is really nice.

This coffee shop is in the waterside area, which feels like a utopia. No one was really around cause a lot of the restaurants nearby aren’t open yet but this cafe is stinkin cute. I got a hot chai and it tasted lovely; it’s hard to mess up a chai imo. And I sat just outside near the walkable dock. I’d easily come again just for a quick cup and the environment.

Just a few details to note:
-there is one seating area
-they have merch displayed on the walls
-they have a small refrigerated section selling liquid death, i think juice, water, and other beverages
-I didn’t see bathrooms for cafe use but I also didn’t ask

I am so thrilled that O&A opened a new location in Waterside. As a lover of Organic and sustainable coffee, I try to support locals like Justin and The O&A wrecking crew. I have been a satisfied patron of the Downtown location for the last few years and just love the quality, friendly staff and atmosphere. I operate a mobile dent removal service ( All New Again Sarasota) and many of my clients are in the Lakewood Ranch mini-metropolis 😁 Now I have a quick fix for my Flat White addiction. Thanks Harry(behind the camera) for the perfect photo and coffee! P.S. that’s Harry’s beautiful Latte Art in my cup! Oh yeah, Don’t forget to admire the custom Slayer machine painted by @Singervehicledesign Porsche. If you know, you know❤️See you soon Gibson! Bryan Suter

I have been here twice and coffee which is not inexpensive was lukewarm at best. Not only that they do not serve cream with any coffee. When I asked the server why they don’t serve cream his reply was that the owner feels coffee should be served with milk only not cream. You got to be kidding me, I have been drinking coffee most of my life. I have always have had cream in my coffee. I mean really why listen to what the customers wants, we have to drink our coffee the way the owners wants us to have it. What a shame. I have been looking forward to this shop to open.
The area is beautiful and a great place to sit down and relax.
From now on I will have to bring my own coffee or better still there a donut shop opening soon hopefully I get get a coffee that taste good and the way I
like it.

This is a cute place right down the street where our new office is going in. I have had coffee there once and it was great! My only wish is that they were open in the evenings. There are always people hanging around and I am always dying for a coffee!! Hopefully they will start having an evening shift. 😀

Easily the best coffee in Sarasota without question. Both this location and their downtown spot are fantastic. Justin, the owner, has a passion for coffee that you won’t find in many a barista. He personally visits the farms he sources his wonderful varietals from, and can recommend the perfect blend to meet your taste from his ever changing rotation. Did you know coffee is supposed to have tasting notes like wine and not just taste like burnt paving tar? Justin does.

The waterside location is such a vibe! I had a honey latte and it was perfect. The coffee itself tasted fresh and vibrant. The barista was extremely friendly and helpful. I purchased a bag of “The Barn” beans and they did not disappoint.

My husband and I have acquired a tradition of tasting coffee everywhere we go, and I must admit this has been one of the best so far. You’ve got to try it.

Hands down best coffee in the region. Thrilled to finally have specialty coffee in Lakewood Ranch. You have to try the pour overs or a flat white! Thank me later.
