Runner-up in our 2016 Best of Local issue for Best Breakfast, downtown daybreak haven Toasted Mango Cafe’s "Chef Special" Toasted Mango Waffle sparks a delicious collision between juicy mango chunks, ribbons of toasted coconut, whipped cream rosettes and powdered sugar. Toasted in-house, coconut shavings add a slight crunch and the home-made batter contains one special ingredient, which remains closely guarded secretsubtle tanginess could be orange zest? Add in a healthy dose of sunshine at one of the Toasted Mango’s al fresco tables and this tropical breakfast will transport you from US 41 to the shores of South Siesta Key, where the restaurant recently opened a new location just steps away from sandy toes. The Toasted Mango makes “beach brunch” dreams a reality.
