Michelle's Brown Bag Cafe has been serving up gourmet sandwiches, salads and soups since opening in March. The café is located in downtown Sarasota and already has a loyal following. The owner, Michelle Connor, opened the café after leaving Bar Harbor, Maine, where she ran Maine's busiest restaurant six months out of the year. "I really wanted to have a restaurant that was open year-round and my staff from Maine also works here, which is great." The café offers catering and free downtown delivery.
