Selby House Café By Michael’s On East

One of the most beautiful places in Sarasota!!! I’ve been coming to Shelby gardens my whole life and it’s still just as magical and amazing as ever! Great history and Sarasota culture! Beautiful grounds!!!

The menu is limited but tasty. The ladies at the counter were kind and professional. Good for a quick break from the garden visit.

Enjoying the Tiffany Exhibit was followed buy a very tasty lunch! I had Curried Cauliflower tacos and my daughter had the Chinese Chicken Salad. Delicious!!!

Good place to get a cool drink. the food has high prices for what you get.

This cafe is in the Selby’s house, inside the Selby Botanical gardens. The house was built by the Selbys in 1921 and became their residence. Upon her death in 1971, she willed it to be a botanical garden, which opened in 1975.The cafe has indoor and out seatings. Part of outdoor is on a terrace and part is under the huge tree. Dropping from the birds in the normal.Self service. Decent food, on the expensive side. $60 for a beer, a Chardonnay, a wrap and the Scottish salmon salad. The salad has baby kale, roasted Brussel sprouts, toasted walnuts, a few pieces of shredded parmesan, dried cranberries. The lemon champagne vinaigrette is delicious.
