EXCELLENT food, great service, cute restaurant. Even when they were really slammed the food came out amazingly quick. Being vegan, I love that there are SO many vegan options for a non-vegetarian restaurant.Impressed. P.s. the portions seem small from photos I looked at, even the menu photos, but the portions were actually good and we were satisfied.

Excellent service and food! If you love Huevos Rancheros, then you must order it here! The portions were larger than I thought so bring your appetite. I also split a side of loaded grits and it didn’t disappoint!

Lovely Square is by far the best breakfast in Sarasota at this time, in my opinion. They have raised the bar far higher than any other comparable breakfast/lunch restaurants. The bruschetta avocado toast is one of the most beautiful things one can eat for breakfast, and tastes as good as it looks! The breakfast sandwiches are just as good, bread pudding french toast, the options are varied and all delicious! Go now!

Excellent breakfast and lunch restaurant. They serve both all day.This restaurant is one of the cleanest in the area. With great decor and nice quiet intimate place to dine and have good conversations.Awesome service by our server as well. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely return here to try something new.

Were new to the area and have been searching for the best local breakfast spot and these guys win by a mile! Soooooooooooo good!

I ordered pickup today. I wanted to try a new spot in the neighborhood. Im so glad I did. The interior was bright, friendly, and refreshing. The counter was clean and the case was filled with assorted pastries and croissants. My mountain omelet and homefries were delicious and perfectly cooked. Worth every penny. Ill definitely be back.

Cute and warm breakfast spot in Gulf Gate. Amazing croissants and creative dishes. Really good iced coffees, lattes and the whole nine. They do crepes, french toast, eggs benedict, pancakes and more. Great chef and kind and courteous staff. Great food, great service.

Wonderful restaurant! Very friendly people and very tasty food! Love it there.

The bruschetta egg on avacado toast was delicious

Simply amazing!

Just the BEST! Family owned and operated. A hidden gem in Gulf Gate. Amazing croissants, and homemade sweets. Food is fresh and fabulous.

We loved every thing about this restaurant! It was so clean, cozy, and cute. Our server, Monika was very kind and attentive! We came for breakfast but the lunch and dinner menu also sounded great. The juices & food were so delicious. Cant wait to come back again. Highly recommend!!

We went to check out this restaurant. We were the only customers there and we think this is why...the dishes are a little off track. They topped the home fries with a pesto sauce and decorated the plate with fruit and balsamic vinegar. My wife thought the vinegar should have been a chocolate to go with the fruit and the sweetness of breakfast. Other than the orange juice being a high price, the other breakfast prices are regular. So its up to you if you want to try it.

We had our first breakfast today at this awesome restaurant. The avocado toast was delicious with a nice garlic and lemon flavor. The goat cheese frittata was savory and seasoned perfectly. The bread is amazing and everything was homemade. The chef and his wife are French and both are warm, friendly and welcoming. The Gulf Gate area is funky with lots of dining options but the Lovely Square is our favorite spot. We will return again for more of this amazing food.

Best Breakfast and Lunch in Sarasota hands down! Food is excellent! Owner/Chef from France with a wide knowledge of culinary cuisine! Friendly great service always! Food cannot be best. Try it and you will be back!

Best banana-pecan pancakes ever! Ive never had such light and fluffy pancakes! Delicious! 😋 Give them a try. You wont regret it. I hear the blueberry pancakes are quite amazing, too.

First visit found fresh food, cage free eggs and very unique breakfast items. My husband had the bread pudding french toast as a side and my small taste of it was impressive. Very clean and service superb. Made to order bakery for any occasion is available as well.

Fantastic food. Best croissant Ive had in several years. The portions are generous too

The Eggs Benedict is phenomenal. Great place! Not to mention theyre right next to my barber, Gulf Gate Barbershop! Best in town.

Great service. Delicious and unique. Were there for breakfast. From the fresh squeeze orange juice to the potatoes. Cannot go wrong. 😋

Awesome breakfast! I definitely recommend it. 🥞😀✅

We were visiting out of town and wanted a local place to have breakfast. I am so glad we chose this place. The atmosphere was real nice and relaxed. The food was amazing.. the crepes are yummy !!! Def. will be back next time we in town again :)

This will be your favorite spot for breakfast. I was visiting and my sister couldnt wait until I tried Lovely Square. They were friendly and accomadating. The pudding french toast is delightful. Eggs and bacon fixed as requested and GOOD. Love that a little fruit was included. Lovely place!

This place is incredible! Its a hidden gem! They have a lot of tasty vegan options.

Lovely square has amazing food and service. Our family of five enjoyed eggs Benedict (eggs were medium poached, which was the first time I had it that was and loved it), the traditional, suzzet crepe, and 2 kids meals. We all enjoyed our food very much. Very friendly staff. This will be our go to place for breakfast when we visit siesta key.

Lovely breakfast restaurant and server were very friendly. Place is so affordable! Crepes are out of this world!

Great Breakfast from Great ingredients ! Absolutely Recommend best breakfast we have had all this vacation.Thank you!

Definitely not the place to go for an average AMERICAN breakfast.Not outstanding but good. I had a veggie omelet and found it a little watery but good .It was accompanied with a very good soup and an English muffin,a bit unusual.Decor pleasant and homey .Pricing above average.Service average.Parking easy.Menu has some unusual combinations.I say try it.AWARDED 1.5 YUMS ON A SCALE OF 3

Not bad. Burger cooked the way I like it. Nice pretzel bun. My wifes power bowl salad looked and tasted great. Prices not too high. Service good. Close to home. Cappuccino a bit small and not as strong as I like but still OK. Overall pretty good.

I have to say this is hands down my favorite place to eat! Not only is the food amazing but the service is 5 stars. My boyfriend and I love a good Benedict (we have a minor obsession with hollandaise sauce) and Lovely Square will NEVER disappoint. Please don’t forget to support your small business and this is one I will forever go to! THANK YOU LOVELY SQUARE!!!

Very pricey. My salad was salty. I thought it was the dressing so I asked for a different one. It was very salty as well.

Excellent! Came for lunch with friends. Highly recommend Lovely Square. Fresh and delicious food options, including those for vegetarians. Service great too. Look forward to returning.

Excellent portions, great range of menu options, with many vegan options as well, friendly, accurate and swift service, bright, inviting decor, clean, fresh, delicious food!

Great crepes! Lovely owner, though slow service and underwhelming decor

Such a wonderful place! So clean, so friendly, delicious food, beautiful presentation. Definitely our new breakfast spot. A wonderful family-run business that feels like home.

Amazing place!!! The food is really fresh. Everything was very good, and the place very clean❤

Amazing breakfast experience. Wonderful atmosphere, professional and helpful staff and the food was delicious and priced accordingly. Our family of 3 was pleased and will be back!

Delicious food and friendly service. Will definitely return!

First time and will definitely be back... delicious!

Homely cafe style dining with excellent vegan options including a wonderful crêpe! They just need to start varying their crêpe fillings and toppings for the vegans and this place will stand out even further.

Very cute place, family owned and operated. Very friendly and our breakfast was outstanding. Coming from Ohio as a tourist. This google search really paid off. Yummy

This is a hidden gem! It’s absolutely amazing!!!Bright airy and clean. Wonderful service.Everything is fresh, from scratch and delicious. So many GF options- even desert. I could eat here everyday. I love it at Lovely!

The atmosphere was lovely the food was even better. Great place for breakfast. Will be back again soon

Delicious food. The crepes were the best Ive ever had. Fabulous service. Will definitely be back

The food and atmosphere was amazing.

Must try this place. First time today and plan to go back frequently.

I had the Mountain omelet. It was amazing. They also have such flavor packed into thier food. Such a clean place too. I will definitely make this a regular breakfast stop.

This hidden gem deserves the highest rating one can possibly give it. There are not enough accolades to describe how wonderfully enjoyable every meal I’ve had at this restaurant was. The chef is magnificent and so talented. We savored every bite. All of the food including the orange juice was the best I’ve ever had. So fresh. Can’t wait to come back!

Very nice; hadnt been here in over a year but will return soon

Great place for breakfast. Super friendly staff and good food.

Wonderful food, people and environment. Service was excellent by owner also 👍🏼

The best breakfast spot in Siesta Key/Sarasota area!!! We’re visiting from Europe and Lonely Square really made us feel at home. Not very busy during the week days and definitely worth the drive! Portion sizes are smaller than US standards but it’s a perfect amount of food. Friendly staff, amazing food, and beautiful interior. Hope to go back soon!!!

Excellant food, service, and the atmosphere is very tranquil

This is a hidden gem in Gulf Gate! The staff are very welcoming and accommodating! The food was delicious and cooked to perfection! If youre looking for a beautiful French experience, look no further! I so look forward to my next visit!

The absolute best breakfast spot in srq! You can tell all the food is made by a real chef! The service is outstanding and the owners are so nice! Highly recommend!

Food is wonderful! Had breakfast (farmers omelette) at lunch, my favorite meal. Thanks!

Ive lived in sarasota for six years and only today did i discover lovely square. i have been to many breakfast places here thus far and my entire family agrees: this is the best breakfast place in sarasota, no competition. genuinely, supremely, this place is amazing. please visit if you can, its absolutely worth it.

Everything Ive tried from their menu has been delicious and the service is always friendly and efficient

This is one of my fav new breakfast places the servers r always so kind n the food is so good def one of the best places I’ve been to in a while 💘💘💘💘

I am so grateful to have discovered the Lovely Square. The staff are extremely kind and always go above and beyond. The chefs talents are undeniable and he will strive to accommodate your dietary restrictions. I highly encourage vegans and carnivores alike to check out this spot. Prepare to be blown away :)

This place is absolutely delicious. everything on the menu is good, there isn’t a thing i wouldn’t get!! Not the mention the cute decor, the vibes in there are so positive. The staff does a great job getting your food out fast, and they’re so kind. I highly recommend going to Lovely Square if you’re in the gulf gate area.

Great food for breakfast which is when we were there. The staff is lovely and truly cares about the quality of their food. They follow covid restrictions so we were.able.to sit inside and feel perfectly safe

Great food, but a bit slow in the kitchen at peak hours.

This place has great food and wonderful servers. Although we did receive a mimosa with an eyelash in it! 👀 They did replace the drink and we continued to order. Upon receiving my bill of $53 for 2 people, I was shocked that the total included the tainted drink. I asked that it would be waved and the managements response was they replaced it so they charge for it. Seems like a common sense customer service gesture in my opinion and probably an industry standard. So 4 of 5 stars for lack of management prowess.

Terrible and unfriendly staff. Turned away for a to go order! Wow.

My meal tasted better than a home cooked meal. Absolutely blew my socks off. The owner seemed really nice too! I’m a local and this is the best food I’ve ever had in Gulfgate! Thank you for the fantastic food and experience! Highly recommend!!!

Had the Paris croissant & it was very good. Good strong coffee, too!

Our son was in town from only a few days. We met there before heading out to the ⛱. Our meals were cooked impeccably and the service was lovely.

All was wonderful. Service and food great!A hidden gem of a breakfast and lunch place.

Words cannot explain the appreciation my wife Mel and I have for Chef Seraf and his Wife. These two wonderful people put so much love into what they do that from the plate to your palate to the way your body reacts to their food you can literally feel that love. All their products are fresh and this is very noticeable in the appearance and taste of their food. Love their eggs Benedict and their hollandaise sauce is to die for. The restaurant is warm and cozy, the atmosphere is lovely and Chef Seraf and his Wife work very hard every day to continue to put out the best product that they can. We are so appreciative to this husband and wife team and hope to have them for years to come. Prices are very reasonable and they even have fresh squeezed orange juice and power juice as well. Thank you Chef Seraf and family we truly appreciate you two! God bless you and your business.Jose and Mel.

Was good!!! I want come back...

Wow. Everything we ordered was excellent. Try the pudding french toast for the table

Lovely is a good description of this charming restaurant,Healthy food choices, friendly service.

The food was very fresh and the presentation was great. I had the soup of the day and it was wonderful, not too creamy. Atmosphere is very relaxed. Our server was very friendly and did her job very well. Anticipating our next visit. Found this place by accident, what a wonderful surprise!

A surprisingly delightful breakfast. Portions were perfect and the environment was clean and crisp.

Fabulously fresh food! This was my first visit and I will certainly be returning. Bravo!

Awesome, flavorful food! Have enjoyed both lunch and dinner here. Highly recommend

The Lovely Square is a lovely place to have brunch. The decor was moderns and cute, the service was great, and the food was delicious and presented very nicely. I am only giving four stars because the atmosphere felt a little lacking.

Awesome place! Food and service was excellent! Highly recommend. 🥐

It was...well...Lovely! Fresh, salads, soups, sandwiches. I had a Cobb salad filled with lovely chicken and bacon and avocado among all the other goodies with citrus dressing. Everything seems to be made in house. A really nice neighborhood place to enjoy lunch.

Excellent vegetable frittata! Also excellent croissant!

Great service..wonderful food.Such quality in the ingredients!Impressed

I love the food and the service

My wife and I had brunch here today. Cant say enough great adjectives to describe this place. Very welcoming staff, pleasant, bright dining room and absolutely fabulous food. I own a business in Gulf Gate, and am so happy to welcome them to the neighborhood. I wish them all the success in the world. Keep up the great work!!!

Had amazing bread pudding french toast! Highly recommend!

The food and service are consistently very good. The atmosphere is excellent. Ive had lunch here several times with friends, and always enjoy my time.

Great food, excellent service!

My husband and I are ecstatic to have found Lovely Square in Gulf Gate. We are always looking for restaurants with healthier and more organic options. The food was super fresh, delicious and artfully prepared, in a very clean and friendly environment. Service by Monica was fantastic. We have found our go-to place!

The service was good and friendly and very fast. It is a tasty breakfast place but can be a little spendy.

Great food. Friendly and efficient service.

Wow is all I can say. They have the most amazing food and the chef adds such pretty decor to the food, you really don’t want to touch it. The fruit bowl is made to look like a floral bouquet. The French toast lightly dusted with confectioners sugar, just outstanding. My little boutique is across the street and my daughter has to have their breakfast on a Saturday morning. We just ordered Chocolate chip pancakes !! Can’t wait.

Amazing. Definitely will be going back.

Friendly staff. Clean, basic diner type, interior. Tasty food nicely presented. I had the Ahi Tuna poke bowl which was large enough for two followed by a smooth pana cotta with blueberry coulis. Both were delicious. I was wearing a mask and the waitress asked if I would like her to wear one, I should have said yes, but I didnt. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Give it a try.

Amazing food! Great place, clean, neat, relaxing. Only thing is they dont have a lot of people so if the place becomes too busy the service is kind of late, everything else is great.

AMAZING! Very interesting menu, everything was absolutely delicious. Best coffee I have had in a long long time. Service was spot on. Cant wait to go again!

This is by far one of the best restaurants in Sarasota.The food is so fresh, the service is great, options for all. Especially vegans, vegetarians, and even kids. So much is homemade such as salad dressings, decadent desserts, and fresh squeezedoj. You can surely taste the love and feel the love here. 5 stars all around for creativity, cleanliness, quality, and service.

Had a very good breakfast croissant. Tomato bisque soup was excellent. Service was very good. Restaurant was very clean and cute.

Everything I have ever ordered is fantastic. So nice to have such a fresh and healthy restaurant in Gulf Gate. The flavors are as exciting as the presentation. Perfect for Sunday brunch. The whole family will love it.

This place is a real gem. Lovely indeed!! Will definitely be back. The breakfast potatoes are exceptional.

Awesome Food, I highly recommend this place. you will not regret it
