I am a New Orleanian and I have tasted almost every New Orleans bakery's king cake. I was VERY pleasantly surprised when I tasted Amaretti's king cake! EVERYTHING about it was sheer perfection! It was flaky and moist, in addition to the perfect amount of delicious icing AND the generous amount of scrumptious cinnamon cream cheese filling! In my opinion, their king cake is an authentic New Orleans style king cake!! read more

Been here a few times for biscotti, cakes and cookies. It's expensive but it's a real bakery which is hard to find in Jax. They have tables where you can sit and eat your sweets and drink coffee. every time I have been here we always get it to go. This time was no exception we had eaten dinner in the Mexican restaurant next-door and wanted a little sweet for dessert. My husband got two big oatmeal raisin cookies. I could not resist the white chocolate bread pudding, which came with a side of white chocolate to drizzle on top. We took the desserts home. I heated up the bread pudding in the microwave for about 25 seconds. it was absolutely delicious. It was so rich. I could only eat half definitely big enough to share. read more

If your a chocolate cake fan this is where you'll find the best chocolate cake. The chewy brownie cookie has nuts, I'm not a fan, but also my new favorite is the gingerbread cookie. It's soft and just perfect. The ginger and molasses are a perfect combination neither is too overpowering. Either way if you want dessert you won't be disappointed with this place. The young girl there is always so sweet and pleasant too. read more

SOOOOOOOOOOO Yummy and fresh, good and more! The cookies(authentic Italian cookies are fabulous...the molasses are like a Gram made them, the cinnamon rolls are the BEST!!! I think it's obvious they are the best in our world!! read more

This is my favorite food place in Jax. Yes, I'm definitely addicted to sugar. This is a wonderful, cute & clean bakery. Always a great selection and you can even eat in as they have tables available. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. Service is great, but at times they get really busy and you may have to wait in line a few minutes. This visit we brought home chocolate chewy cookies, pumpkin squares, lemon squares and to die for tiramisu. It's a must try if you like fabulous cakes, pies, cookies, and much more. read more

This is my go to bakery when visiting the area.The cookies $20/lb are always fresh, the pastries, melting your mouth, such as the danish and apple pie is piled high with apples, several inches thick. The cannoli are filled to order which is a nice touch. read more

I love this bakery! I love the nostalgic appliances that they have when you walk into the left at the coffee bar. The old mixer provides the era of homemade goods! The wide variety of choices even late at night were impressive. My friend and I got multiple things to try and for her to take home (yes, she took it all home, not me). The cheesecake was decadent, the almond danish was phenomenal, the chocolate cake was rich more than Richie Rich himself and the Keylime was just hard enough to be enjoyable. read more

Omg Amaretti's pumpkin cupcake is insanely good! The perfect frosting to cake ratio (translation lots of frosting!) The cream cheese frosting is just heavenly, and the cake is moist and flavorful without being too spicy. My husband was also blown away by the peanut butter chocolate pie. Once again birthday treats are 10/10! read more

I ordered pre-ordered Mother's Day upon getting home. I did not have my Mother's Day dessert and when I called to let them know, it was nothing they would do about it. They did refund me my money which I have not received yet, but that's not the point because now I don't have any for Mother's Day they blew me off. happen. I am a disabled person I use special transportation. I would've thought they would've brought me Desserts that they build me for in the first place because it was their fault not my fault because I double checked they called to confirm my order home. I don't have the Desserts that I initially paid for. I didn't like the fact that the manager I spoke to didn't seem to care didn't seem to ruined my Mother's Day. It is not an option for me to turn around and go back and pick up what was not put in my order that I and then the that I keep getting or not my receipt someone else's receipt with someone else's orders on it. You even sent me home with an order that I didn't even place but again they don't seem to care her words to me. We don't have a delivery service and if they deliver them, they would charge me a deliveries fee. How would you charge me a delivery fee when your store messed up my order I think I am hurt. I am upset because I felt the man you could've did a better job with getting me the pie that I initially paid for and the fact that it is Mother's Day get me my dessert now I don't have a dessert for Mother's Day for my mom and the women in my family that is not right it's not fair and I will be thinking twice about going back because I don't think that I was treated fairly read more

Went in for cream puffs and they did not have any. My daughter and I walked in and immediately it smelled like gas. We walked in and turned around. The cases were barren. Hardly any desserts to pick from. read more

Amaretti Desserts is a great place for your dessert needs. We stopped by late on a Sunday, items were a bit picked over (with good reason), and the crew was friendly and eager to wait on us. The inside of the shop is clean with marble and red accents. Casual but classy. I had the Kentucky Derby Pie which was amazing. Great chocolate accents, amazing whipped cream and the inside had the consistency of a thick pecan pie, but walnuts were used instead. Really great pie. My wife ordered a brownie that good, but just a bit dry. Very good desserts here and excellent prices. Amaretti provides great quality at a price point far lower than comparable dessert shops in the area. We'll be back to try more. I recommend you give them a try. read more

Fellow Yelper Sara B & I stopped in on a first visit for both of us & we were in awe of the variety of sweets on display. We knew we wanted to try one of the s'mores treats & decided on the s'mores bar...along with a few other items to share. Everything was decadent & delicious! read more

Just recently had two delightful treats at Amaretti's! We got a chocolate peanut butter which was large, fresh, and had generous amounts of both chocolate and peanut butter chunks! The flavor was also great! We also got a blueberry muffin which was bursting with sugary and blueberry flavor, and I'm pretty sure everyone will like that one. While we only stopped in for those two bakery items, supposedly the cakes and coffee are awesome, so will have to go back and try them soon! read more

I was eating next door and had to stop in and check out the desserts and pastries. I had tasted a few cakes from Amaretti's so I knew whatever I ordered would be fabulous. It took me a little while to narrow down my options which I did while waiting in line. I ordered a piece of tiramisu and a chocolate croissant. Honestly I wanted many more items but I had to pace myself lol. The tiramisu was rich, creamy and deliscious! I ate it over the course of three days. I'm so glad I savored it and made it last. I would order this again and again and again! The chocolate croissant was moist and the dark chocolate was plentiful. If you haven't tried Amaretti's, get out from under that bush and run to the store! read more

The desserts are absolutely delicious--especially the PB cookies, which are amazing! The lemon ricotta is one of my all-time favorites, and the cake sampler is a great idea. It gives you the chance to try different cakes and icings in one go--perfect for indecisive dessert lovers like me. I also picked up a mixed box of cookies sold by the pound (my favorite thing to do!). Honestly, it's probably a good thing they're not too close to my house, or I'd be there way too often. They also serve drinks and coffee, and it's a great place to sit down for a chat. The staff is friendly, and the inside is super nice and cozy. Definitely worth a visit! read more

The desserts are wonderful and varied. They have nice indoor tables to enjoy your dessert. Only one thing to mention and it's beyond their control. The Mexican restaurant next door blasts their music outside. read more

We had coffee and desserts here and they were fabulous. The coffee was very refreshing and all the desserts were excellent. We had tiramisu, a cannoli and a slice of carrot cake. It was a very nice place to sit and chat with friends. The service was excellent and they made a specialty coffee that was not on the menu. read more

I cannot believe I have not written a review sooner. Amaretti is always on my list of places to visit with I come to Jacksonville. Even if I am visiting only a week or two, I try to visit multiple times. With so many amazing choices, you can't order only a couple items and it would go bad before I can eat it it all. So multiple visits is a must. I actually hated pecans until I tried the Pecan Sticky bun. This thing is the softest, most gooey, amazing sticky bun ever. During my last visit to Jacksonville, I came in the afternoon a few weeks ago and they were sold out. The next week we came by in the morning, but there weren't any. We asked and were told they were still in the oven and it would be about 30 more minutes. We said we would be back which we were and it was perfect. I would gladly wait for this sticky bun. My other favorites are the bread pudding, the key lime tart. These are my go-to items, however the cookies and cakes are all fantastic as well. If you have a sweet tooth this place cannot be passed up. read more

The desserts are excellent as far as flavor, however they are cutting their portion size. I get their pies and cheesecake. The cheesecake is much smaller and so are their pie slices. Very disappointed. I'll try again and if they are still cutting their portions I won't go back and I've been going there for years. Service is usually pretty good the young kids are great and very friendly. The older gentleman needs to be more friendly. The interior is fine it could use a little more warmth. read more

Everything that I have tried is absolutely delicious. Wonderful customer service. You can't go wrong here.

Great variety of desserts and cakes, some with many layers. But these are a bit on the high side price wise - we left with 2 slices of their death by chocolate cake ($9.95 each) and 2 lemon squares and it came to $34+. Lemon squares were tart and very flavorful but super sweet and the chocolate layers were yummy. Just be prepared for a sugar rush! read more

$85 for a cake. Ridiculous. Left without buying a thing. I was shocked when they told me the price!

I have been many times, but last couple of visits have not been good. Valentines Day, bought a slice of red velvet cake. Dry, hard and just not edible. Very disappointing. read more

This place has the most delicious desserts. It's my favorite place to go for sweets. They are the best in Jacksonville. Thanks- Heidi R read more

This is my favorite local bakery! I've tried several of their items and it's usually very good. We ordered an apple pie for Thanksgiving and I have to say that when I tasted it in store, it was much better than the one I picked up. Everyone still liked it!I love their cookies and other homemade desserts. read more

Solid locally owned option in the area. Tried several different cookies available and all were tasty. The molasses cookie got us in a Fall state of mind and had just the right balance of spice and sweet. Service was fast and efficient and we were in and out of this cute little shop in under 10 mins! Might be a nice spot for coffee and chatting with a friend. read more

Service is always great and there is no shortage on choices at Amaretti's. They have their house made Italian cookies sold by the pound. We usually stop for their eclairs or cream puffs, both easily the size of your face. It's nice little spot with a few tables to eat in. They do have other desserts such as a velvet cheesecake, chocolate derby, carrot cake and different types of bar desserts as well. read more

Happy I arrived early today!!! This line was super long ; a mix of people picking up pre ordered Christmas goodies and folks doing last minute items. I was included in that last group ha ha ... There desserts are always so delicious. The staff was definitely hustling but did a great job of making the line keep moving and dealing with some people's tempers. I also ordered a chai latte w/Carmel, it was okay I could really only taste the milk. My cheese Danish was delicious! I am looking forward to trying the cupcakes on Christmas day. read more

I've come to this gem of a bakery a few times now, and the desserts are always wonderful. This most recent time, I tried the apple turnover, which was my favorite of the desserts we ordered. The pastry dough was so soft and buttery. It's the best I have had. I was so excited to try the crumbles, I had the cinnamon cake crumble, and I was let down. The crumble was salty and I really couldn't enjoy it. I wish it hadn't been because it was practically all crumble. The cookies and cream cake was super moist and a chocolate lovers dream. The pecan sticky bun is a stick to your mouth dessert, and if you have a real sweet tooth, it will be your favorite. I would give the crumbles another try but it may be or hit or miss, so definitely try the apple turnover! read more

The BEST tiramisu in Jax for sure! Stopped by last week after driving by a few times and now I've been twice in one week! Gorgeous selection of so many yummy treats and everything I've tried has been so good. The cannolis are also a definite YES! The staff is also so kind and welcoming! Would HIGHLY recommend! read more

finally, an Italian bakery who is authentic in Italian custard for eggclair without tons of sugar, for sfogliatelle ricotta fillings, and for their amaretti. My request is no sugar added to sfogliatelle till you purchase. The staff are so accommodating they brush off for me. Definitely fresh and polite helpful staff too. read more

Thank the good Lord this place is not near me--because I am obsessed with their Almond Covered Amaretti cookies. I am a huge fan of Italian baked goodies--specifically cannolis and lobster tail, so I never thought about ordering cookies until Amaretti's. Mind freaking blown! The crispiness on the outside and the chewiness on the inside is incredible. Also discovered I like ricotta cookies! You can buy cookies by the pound, so I highly recommend getting a variety so you can see whatcha like. Their cannoli is also the best in town. Service is always friendly and fast as well. read more

I have reviewed on here before and loved what we had last time but just wanted to put a plug in for their Chocolate Silk Pie! Just tried it last night and Ohh my goodness it is divine!! Service is always fast and friendly! It's a nice little cafe style seating and their hours are open later which is fantastic since so many bakeries close early! read more

We used to be one block away and now we are a ten minute drive. Our wallets are fatter and our blood sugar lower, but holy moly the best deserts. So delicious. The seasonal cheesecake bars are so good. The chocolate cake divine. The peanut butter pie nostalgic. So good. Great staff. read more

We were looking for a good, non-run-the-mill desert for a special evening with friends that would be something we had not enjoyed for quite some time. By searching far and wide for the best place to find a cannoli we noticed a recommendation for Amaretti Deserts and immediately felt compelled to give them a try! We drove to their nearby location and found much more than what we were looking for that day. We found cakes, pies, pastries, croissants and a very wide variety of cookies, fruit bars, and the list goes on and on. We will certainly be back for additional items in the near future! By the way, the cannolis were exceptional! read more

Great cookies and the best coffee! I haven't tried the cakes yet but they look amazing. There are tables inside it's very family friendly. The staff was great. I can't wait to go back and try some cake. read more
