Located in the heart of Siesta Key Village, Mojo Risin’ is a cozy and colorful coffee shop with a beachy vibe. The decor is decidedly eclectic. The brightly-colored walls are adorned with portraits of musicians, like a mural of Jim Morrison. The ceilings are adorned with string lights and retro surfboards are suspended from ropes. Though the cafe is located a short walk from the beach, the ambiance is so welcoming you wouldn’t be blamed if you decided to enjoy your coffee there instead of taking it to go. Sticking around will also give you the opportunity to grab a refill. While Mojo Risin’ offers a full complement of coffee drinks, including lattes, cappuccinos and frappes, even their drip coffee is worth the trip. Try the North Shore blend, a Hawaiian roast with notes of macadamia and coconut. But Mojo Risin’ does more than just coffee.

“Since we are on the Key, we do just as many smoothies and smoothie bowls as we do coffee,” says manager Nicole McCartney. “We also have some grab-and-go food. We have empanadas that are made locally by The Empanada Girl here in Sarasota. And then we have a bunch of different bakery items that are also brought in locally by different bakers from the area.”

The smoothies and smoothie bowls are a perfect treat for the stifling heat of summer. At Mojo Risin’, they use frozen berries instead of ice cubes in their smoothies so the flavor is concentrated and bright, with a thick and creamy texture. The eatery’s slogan is, “It’s a good day to have a good day.” If you want to have a good day, start it off at Mojo Risin’.
