Summer Tap Juice Bar — Restaurant in Sarasota

What a hidden gem! Thoroughly impressed. By far, THE BEST açaí bowl I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve had a lot). So many fresh fruit options. No frozen or processed ingredients (kinda hard to find these days). Almost too pretty to eat…almost. My friend and i shared an açaí bowl and it was more than enough for us as a snack. Our husbands got a few tastes and they were also impressed. Absolutely divine. Layered partly frozen açaí with granola, peanut butter (almond butter also available) chia (several other choices of seed topping as well), drizzled honey, and three choices of the freshest, sweetest, most delicious fruit options. Was around $12 on 9/2 (noted in case this review is read post price-changes). I thought the price was a tad steep until i saw and tasted her creation. The fresh juices were wonderful and refreshing as well. My new fave spot for healthy options in downtown Sarasota. The decor is current and cozy with an industrial yet modern, fresh vibe. We (four of us) sat in a little lounge-type area with a leather sectional, leather chairs, marble topped tables and super cool, edgy light fixtures. There are also several tables and stools set up as well as seating around the juice bar. The employee was friendly and patient and a dang artist of açaí bowls. All our juices and smoothies came with edible decorative accents, adding just the right touch. Food as art! I’ll be...

The smoothie was delicious, but I must echo the sentiments of the other reviewers regarding the lack of cleanliness and poor customer service. I came in last Sunday looking for a snack and a restroom before heading to the beach. When I arrived, I was greeted by two girls at a table doing some busy work and a young man behind the counter who said nothing. The girls were sweet and told me to let them know when I was ready to order.

After a few seconds, I told them that I was ready, and the young man walked over. I noticed that there was a blender on the counter that had a purple ring around it. I gave him my order and turned to go to the restroom, hoping that he would wash out the blender before making my drink. When I came out of the restroom, my drink was ready, and I noticed that the same blender now had green at the bottom and purple at the top.

Needless to say, I found this wholly unsanitary and a risk to my health. What if I were allergic to whatever was in the blender beforehand? And those types of blenders only need to be rinsed with water to clean, so why did he not at least do that?

Upon leaving, only the girls spoke--which at this point was unsurprising. After returning home and reading the comments, it seems that this behavior is rather typical, so it may be best to avoid this place altogether until they get...

The best smoothies and an amazing atmosphere! 🍓🥭 Everything is made with fresh fruit, and you can taste the difference in every sip. For those mentioning the “wait time” — remember, these smoothies are freshly made, not pulled from a bottle or powder mix. We live in such a fast-food world that people forget great things take a little time. Have patience, enjoy the vibe, and be grateful for real, fresh ingredients. Or, if speed is all you want, there are plenty of places that serve pre-made, processed drinks — but you’ll be missing out on the real deal here.

The only negative reviews here seem to be about the “wait time” — and honestly, that’s just impatience talking. This place makes everything fresh, not from pre-made mixes, and that’s worth a few extra minutes. Don’t let your lack of patience bring down the rating for a place that’s doing it right. They should have five stars but y'all are...
