Drove 30mins from Lakewood ranch to try this place. First it’s LOUD. Dirty tables And HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! Poor customer service is always a turn off The baristas should try and be a little more nicer to customers Instead of being so rude! The first coffee shop where the people were so unfriendly

Great coffee but they charge a 3.99% fee to use a card for payment…. Seems pretty cheap on the owners part. Again great coffee tho

If you're looking for an alternative to Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks, this place will do. Not really for coffee people. Eh I'll say it not for coffee snobs.

Nice and cool atmosphere inside to escape the heat of Sarasota for a little while. There’s one small table for seating outside, but why would you want to.

Our first visit was great! Super cute shop, next to other neat places. Our drinks were tasty and our sons hot chocolate was “the perfect temperature” ;)

One of the best locals spots for coffee in Gulf Gate. A few spaces to sit outside and multiple places to sit inside, you will find this a space for working, meeting or just good convo with a great cup of coffee!

Only did drinks. Peppermint mocha latte was delicious. A little more enthusiasm from the hostess would have been nice for a first- timer. Maybe it was an off day.

I’ve enjoyed this place but after todays exchange, I wouldn’t go back. Theirs too many great local spots in the area. Having a rude employee taints the experience. Theirs multiple baristas who are so friendly and helpful here but one each time I go in has such an unwelcoming attitude. Customer service does matter. I called today after coming in for my usual drink, I had just been in a few minutes before. The barista had no recollection of me or my order which ok, I get it. I’m vegan and don’t do milk and it was made with whole milk. After our brief convo, I didn’t even feel comfortable to come back and get my order as I ordered. I’m disappointed because I look forward to my morning drink and this is the second time I’ve had to waste a drink. Whether it’s a preference or a legitimate allergy, someone dealing with food and customer service could have some compassion to that. I’m sure had she been in my shoes and got a wrong order from a rude server, perhaps she’d have more understanding.

Got a cold brew there, cute little shop and good coffee. Prices are what you should expect for a local coffee bar with lots of funky drinks. Sweet little spot though.

The Clever Cup is truly a hidden gem with an inviting atmosphere, seasonal crafted lattes, teas, other drinks and baked items regardless the time of day you visit.
