After a recent lunch near the town center, we were looking for a good dessert spot. We basically…read moretried Light On The Sugar Bakery Cafe because of how close it was to where we were. What a lucky course of events! There is seating both inside and outside. The interior clean, bright, elegant and simple. The staff were friendly and we were served very quickly. The only wait was for the coffees ordered at my table. They were fantastic as well. I ordered the Tiramisu pie. Amazing texture, velvety layers, perfect flavor blend, bold, just the right amount of sweet...delicious. We'll be back to try more and if you haven't visited Light on The Sugar Bakery Cafe, I highly suggest you do.

Really Cute and Cozy Dessert and Drink spot in the heart of the St. John's Town Center…read more The Service was quick and efficient. I had my drink within 2 minutes of ordering. My Key Lime Pie Puff was great although I would've loved a slightly more baked graham cracker crust. I also had a try of the Tiramisu cake slice and that could've been a bit HEAVIER on the sugar, if you know what I mean. Overall, I would absolutely pop in again.

We came here to finally try their popular desserts but we stayed for dinner!…read more We loved the drinks and our food. We ordered a board as an appetizer and waited close to 35 minutes for it before our server realized she never rang it up. We were upset as we wanted something to snack on as we waited for our meal. She offered to quickly have it made, but our food was almost ready and it did not make sense to us anymore at that point. But no other resolution was offered. The food was great, but it took a while to get our food. It didnt seem to be busy, yet they where slow. Im sure if we had our appetizer, we wouldnt have noticed the 45 minute wait. We loved the cheesecake and the mocha cake! Drinks where very nice and strong. Overall, i loved it here. Hopefully next time ill be able to get my board!

We have been back here multiple times since my last review and owe them a better review…read more We live at the beach so it's a bit of a trip for us but decided to make it over today for lunch. It was a really good experience. We started with the baked Brie appetizer and it was delicious ( forgot to photograph that). I'm a vegetarian and love the fried zucchini sandwich but today's lunch special was a spaghetti squash special and it was delicious! I highly recommend it. Hubby had the smash burger and fries and all was good. I had a special cocktail called Blue Eyes something that was very refreshing. Elise gave us very good service and as always, I got a piece of Tropical Cake to go, that will last for days. Other than parking being tough, this is a great place for girls days, lunch with the hubby, etc.

If you're looking for some good gelato or fresh mini donuts this is the place !!…read more My first time in Jacksonville beach area and stumbled upon this cute small shop close to the strip and truly had amazing gelato ! The coconut chocolate chip was incredible as was the guava gelato . I also tried the Dubai chocolate mini donuts they had .. which were incredible !!! They made a fresh batch on the spot , fresh donuts amazing the the Dubai chocolate toppings amazing !!! Everything was very good ! And friendly staff . I also got the lychee refresher and my friend got the mango passionfruit both very good and highly recommend

My daughter and her husband wanted donuts at 8:00 at night. We couldn't find many open donut…read moreshops; and my husband said we couldn't get "ordinary" donuts from a grocery store, so we found Lukumades by searching on our phones. It was a little bit of a drive away, near the beach, and there was absolutely no parking on a Friday night. My husband dropped me off and circled while I placed a few to go orders. It was a cute little shop with donuts, shakes, and ice cream. The donuts are not traditional donuts; more like deep fried donut holes that are covered with all kinds of yummy toppings. They're also served nice and hot and in 10 packs. They had lots of cool donut flavors like: Dark Delight, Maple Bacon, , White Tella, and Love U Matcha, The prices range from $8.75 to $9.50 per box. They all sounded yummy; but we decided on Twix Fix, drizzled with caramel, melted chocolate, and cookies, and Lotus Crunch, which was topped with melted Biscoff cookies. Our order was ready in about 5 minutes and the bag of donuts was nice and warm. We ate them when we got back home. They were more chewy and heavier than regular donut holes, but rich and delicious. You could really only eat a few; so a box of 10 is a decent sized dessert for 2 people to share. Lukumades is definitely a very unique donut experience and worth supporting because they're not a huge chain. You'll be glad you tried them....and its worth the drive.

We went with some friends for dinner. We are doing the AbC's dinner club and we picked this…read morerestaurant for the letter "B" We had reservations, inside was nice, the first thing that caught my eye was the cakes!!!! They have an amazing selection! The service was good, the food was great. I did the 3 courses menu for $45 and it was worth it. I had the salmon stuffed with crab, salad and rum cake, everything was delicious! They have a selection of cocktails too. I highly recommend it!

BB's is one of those local spots I find myself coming back to pretty often. The space is small and…read moreparking can be limited, so depending on when you go, it may be tricky to find a seat. That said, I still really enjoy stopping in. The popovers are my favorite and honestly one of the main reasons I keep coming back. I also love that they're connected with the bakery at Biscotti's, because Biscotti's desserts are A-MA-ZING, especially the cakes. BB's usually has rotating meal options and entrées, which keeps things interesting, and I enjoy seeing what they have available. Some dishes feel more unique than others, but overall the food is generally tasty and thoughtfully done. I'd recommend BB's if you're looking for a cozy local spot with great baked goods, good food, and especially if you want to try the popovers. Just be prepared for limited parking and a smaller seating area.

As a first-timer, I wasn't quite sure what to expect with pizza and pastries. I've seen people line…read moreup at the door waiting to get in, and now I know why. The place is small with limited seating in a storefront but the ideas and flavors are huge! I ordered a small mixed vegetable pizza (minus the olives ) and a very inviting red velvet cupcake! When I saw my small pie, my eyes and mouth were so excited! The cheese was all that and they weren't stingy with the spinach, mushrooms, and mixed bell pepper chunks! It was delicious! The red velvet cupcake had a tempting cream cheese center that called my name, and I answered! It was not super sweet, a huge concern of mine, but just the right balance. I went in the late afternoon, so the cake, itself, was a little dry but the cream cheese center really helped it out. I will definitely be back for more on the menu!

I would run to this place! These desserts are out of this world. I got the raspberry and my friend…read moregot mango and they truly fast like the fruit. I will be back to try more!

There's a great selection of desserts and pastries here; sweet and savory. I've tried many things…read morein many occasion but this particular visit I purchased a puff pastry egg tart, sesame ball, pineapple custard bun and a bbq pork bun. I've been helped by a couple different people and they always come off stoic but that could just be their personality I guess. Never really smiling or friendly.

I rather liked the pork bun, though not as much as I remembered liking it before, and my wife liked…read moreit. We at that in the food court. The next morning, we had the sausage and scallion bun at home. I liked it, maybe more than the pork bun, and would get it again, though it had the advantage of being reheated at home in the microwave. My wife liked the dough, the hot dog less so (and I must admit the hot dog in the croissant we had a while ago at Cruffin & Tea was better). I'd get this again, though probably trying the regular hot dog bun instead of the scallion one next time. I'd asked the server if she could reheat our items when I bought them, but she said no, and didn't seem to understand English well. So far, I've preferred the savory things to the sweets here. Each item was $3-3.25, so a better value than the other bakeries I go to. I will return to this place periodically, but I still prefer places like Cruffin & Tea and Le Petit Paris, so I'm giving Mai Xiang Garden Bakery an average rating, 3 stars: pretty good, but not above average for a bakery, other than the good value.

I loved it! The concept is you order cookies or ice cream or a cookie ice cream sandwich. I ordered the snicker doodle cookies and I can't remember which ice cream but it was so yummy! They have a cute outdoor area with games and seating and music, which is a total vibe. The workers were very welcoming, and I would definitely come back for a little sweet treat!

Today we were…read moregreeted by a guy who seemed to be sleeping in the back and couldn't stop yawning and saying how tired he was while taking our order and while making the ice cream. We waited over 30 minutes for 6 ice creams to be made... The Ice cream was good and the area was nice and clean. But the service we got was definitely disappointing.

Came here to get my sweet fix. Walking in, the place looks a little worn down. Doesn't look too…read moreclean either. But I wanted to try the taiyaki and ice cream. Didn't know it was a rolled ice cream (generally not a fan) but the Thai tea flavor was not bad. It definitely had the full Thai tea taste. The taiyaki was just meh. The dough was ok but the filling (red bean) consistency seemed off. I didn't finish it. The menu was a bit confusing as well. Everything seemed handwritten and all over the place. The service was fine but you can tell they didn't care too much regarding the state of the shop or how they came across. Probably wouldn't go back.

It might be even better if they added a few raisins to it. We'll be back for this item periodically. We also tried a mango float ($6). It was good, and had more whipped cream in it than the one I'm used to, but I've probably had slightly better examples. For $6, it's not a great value: smaller than the cinnamon roll and not as good. I might get it again, but probably not at that price. This remains one of my favorite bakeries in town, and we'll be back periodically. Update: We tried another cinnamon roll. This time we thought it was fantastic, the best thing I've eaten in a long time. 25 seconds microwaved again. We'll have to get one periodically.

First of all, where did you guys come from? I've been through Regency Mall four times in the last…read moremonth and I've never seen them. TFCQ definitely has the best store front IMO. It's bursting with personality, bright colors and smiling faces. I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley, one of the owners. Her wife is the Puerto Rican inspiration of the team/menu and she is the southern staple, the funnel cake. There's no prices on the menu (that always makes me nervous lol). I ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake Funnel Cake, it comes with powdered sugar, cheese cake bites, fresh strawberries, strawberry drizzle, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. I also ordered a side of sweet plantains, rice/black beans totaling $27.35 and at first I was like......"daaaaaaamn" (as I dropped a tip in the jar). . . . BUT . . . My first bite alleviated the cost and took me back to when I had my first elephant ear as a kid on the west coast. Amazing isn't giving them enough credit, this is a memory I won't forget. The plantains were soft, and perfectly cooked and the amount of rice and beans was enough for two meals easily. I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the menu because I can get dinner and dessert in one stop! I support you guys and appreciate how each customer was greeted and treated the same way. That's AUTHENTIC, quality customer service!! No matter where you are in Jacksonville this is worth the price and the drive!!!!!!

Do you have a sweet tooth? If so- this is a dream come true! It is insanely good- mind blowing…read morecombinations. The funnel cake sundaes combine the best of ice cream lovers with state fair food! Then the toppings! I was introduced to Funnel Cake Queen thanks to Yelp- I got to have a funnel cake sundae for FREE!!! And 2 days later- I went back to try another! Don't judge me! I love baked goods more than ice cream, or ice cream complimenting something else- like pie. So a funnel cake with ice cream is perfect for me! Gives me the "cake" body with ice cream too! I tried the Big Banana Split with the ice cream on the side- whoa! 2 desserts- a funnel cake in all it's powdered sugar goodness and a banana split too! There was so much dessert I was stuffed and in a sugar haze when I left! John got the Chocolate Lovers the first time- with ice cream on the funnel cake- chocolate ice cream with mini-m&m's & a mound of whipped cream. He too- sugar coma. Then on the return I went with the caramel apple and got it on the funnel cake this time and John went with the Oreo Crush with ice cream on the side. Breakdown- ice cream on the cake- great crash of flavors and textures, but if you don't eat quickly enough- the melting ice cream will make the cake soggy. On the side- it's not the eye candy of seeing the almost artistic creation of the funnel cake sundae, but- you can enjoy both on their own or still eat them together without the sogginess. You choose! But- you should totally go and pick a favorite to try!
