Recommend the Avocado Toast! - Edit
Juice bar with food also! Very healthy. To-go and outdoor seating. I recommend trying a juice and the avocado toast! The owner was around each time I had been there and she was also so happy and kind to the guests. We loved visiting here. The drinks and food not only taste really good but are 100% vegan. Parking is on the side of the cafe.

What a gem - Edit
Quaint walk-up window inside of a healing arts building. I placed my order online when I arrived and it was ready quickly. I had the Martin sandwich on dehydrated onion bread with rutabaga ‘fries’. The Martin was so tasty with a nut cheese, sprouts, avocado, tomato, jalapeños, red onion. I love it. I also ordered ‘sautéed’ mushrooms and a loaf of onion bread to take home for only $5 each. Owner was very kind too. Highly recommend

Outstanding Flavor & Taste - Edit
We had a super delicious and filling lunch today at Ionie’s. Olga was helpful and they worked with my food sensitivities which was so reassuring. The garden wrap was my favorite thing we ate, wonderful textures and tastes. Everything was delicious and satisfying. Don’t let the detours deter you, it is worth finding.

Delicious Garden Wrap with pesto & homemade flower tea. - Edit
I found this place on my HappyCow ap while visiting Sarasota from Pinellas county on business. Lots of construction around the building, but very good sinage directing me to the take-out area. Super friendly service while I ordered by phone. The food was absolutely fantastic. I will definitely make a trip back.

Worth a stop - Edit
Great selections of raw meals and snacks that are all organic! The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly and can help guide decisions. Loved the dining area and parking availability. A bit pricey but that’s the cost of being vegan and having organic ingredients so it is well worth it. I had the Kelp Pesto with a shot of the ginger/beet juice. Yum Love that ingredients are labeled on packaging Will definitely stop by the next time I am in town

I💗Ionie! - Edit
Ionie's is a cozy place in downtown Sarasota to grab some totally gourmet raw food. Ask for the Buddha Bowl- it's not in the grab and go case, but if they have the ingredients, they will make you one, and it is so good! Other favorites of mine are the kelp pesto, the collard green burrito, and the cupcakes. Expect high quality food. It's worth the price.

ionie is a gem - Edit
Great little grab-n-go or dine in place. Food is fresh with an approach to using good food as a means for wellness. Excellent deserts and fresh pressed juices. It’s small inside, with only 6 two person tables, but don’t let that deter you. Everything is available to go.

Honestly, the best food I have eaten stateside - Edit
Honestly, the best food I have eaten stateside! Ionie is so kind and it was such a pleasure to meet her and enjoy her healthy, hearty, tasty food! It was such a homey feeling. As my family sat there we conversed not only with Ionie, but also the other people in the dining area enjoying the food. So enjoyable! I will be back.

Special Place - Edit
We stopped by Ionie while vacationing in the area in March and are finally getting around to writing this review - better late than never! A welcome, inviting and peaceful experience from the moment you walk in the door. We had the pleasure of meeting Ione and the wellness director who are both caring and compassionate. Unfortunately our travel schedule did not permit us to dine - wish we discovered Ionie earlier in the trip and will definitely make plans to dine during our next visit to Sarasota.

Healthy meals made with LOVE - Edit
Ionie and Francesca are amazing people and served us scrumptious food! We met a friend for a day at the beach and came in to Ionie's for a much anticipated lunch. We ate, then took a break and ate again!!! We wanted to try EVERYTHING on the menu but our stomachs weren't big enough!!
Read moreWe've been all raw/mostly raw vegan for over 3 years now. I can tell you that Ionie's cuisine is far above most restaurants that we've been to. Her food is even better than MINE (trained as a raw Foods educator)!!!!
A must "go to" when in the Sarasota area! Or even worth a SPECIAL trip!!
Pros: Excellent people, Great food, Affordable
Cons: Dining room a bit small
