The Cracker Barrrel at the Hwy 64 exit is good because you can sit and rock while you wait. I don't know the exit number but it is on the northwest corner of I-75 and Hwy 64 just outside of Bradenton.

How about Skyway Jack's? It's not fancy, but it's just off the highway after crossing the Skyway Bridge, and it's a St. Pete institution for breakfast. http://tampabay.citysearch.com/profile/11341860

The Ellenton mall has a food court. The mall is a large outdoor mall but the food court is inside. It is high-end name-brand shopping. You can't miss it, it's huge.

The Cracker Barrel suggestion might be good assuming you want a hearty breaksfast. If you just want to meet for coffee you might come a couple of exits further south to University Parkway and travel west for about a mile to a Starbucks.
