Nestled in the heart of downtown Sarasota, Green Zebra Cafe on Main offers a warm, casual atmosphere, exceptional service and delicious food to share with family and friends. With a focus on pure, wholesome, and locally-sourced ingredients, both of our Brunch and Dinner menus are carefully crafted to reflect our customers dietary requirements.

Our everyday Brunch menu features a long list of all time favorites such as, Omelettes Your Way, Italian Benedict, Our Famous Raw Pancake, and our Lavender-Blueberry pancakes. As well as, organic cold-pressed juices, smoothies and acai bowls.

Our dinner menu highlights both plant-based cuisine as well as dishes with ethically raised meats and sustainable seafood.

Look forward to seeing you!

    One of the best Sarasota has to offer. We’ve dined there many times over the last four years and it still hits and stands above the rest. For the record I’ve never eaten inside as the street dining is superior also.

    My wife had her birthday yesterday. She is mostly vegan. She tries not to stray away from plant based diets. The food was fantasic. The goat cheese salad was out of this world and such a creative look. I work in a restaurant so I admire creativity. Our server was very sweet. He treated us very professionally and made her birthday very special. I will be dining there again.

    Was in town on vacation with family. Struggled over the week to find restaurants that could accommodate both my vegan diet and other family members' non-vegan diets, and Green Zebra had options for everyone. Food was great. Only complaint is that the bar wasn't fully stocked. I ordered a gin based drink during dinner the first night and when it was brought back, the waitress let me know that they didn't have gin and had substituted vodka. Would have preferred to be asked if that was okay, as I might have chosen a different drink before the drink was made. The fruit garnish on top also appeared to have a moldy berry, which definitely gave me the ick. Returned the drink and was brought a new one quickly. So, pros and cons there. Went back for breakfast a few days later - again looking for somewhere with multi-dietary need options and had a great breakfast. Coffee was yummy, vegan "eggs benedict" also delicious. Decor and atmosphere was also lovely! Very cool plant decor.

    While the food was outstanding - as indicated by the rating given - the service was absolutely abysmal. Our seating for Mother’s Day was early and the restaurant was 10-15% occupied. We waited nearly 10 minutes for our waiter to initially show up. We did receive water from the host, but that was all as we waited. Our meals arrived approximately 45 minutes after we placed the order. This was what really caused the low service rating. During the meal, we had one visit from the waiter and that was it. I cannot imagine what the service would be like on a busy night or shift. Perhaps they were short staffed during our visit? Or there was an issue in the kitchen that caused the long delay? No information was provided to us so we were left to conclude that the restaurant finds their service acceptable. Again, it is very unfortunate that the service was below what I feel is appropriate. The food was fantastic and the presentation was on par with my expectations. Would I return? Perhaps….
