Enjoy their cookies during the fall/winter holidays...but I've noticed when they weigh the cookies depending on who you get you might get less for the price per pound. If and when I want to splurge and treat myself (mostly during the holidays as they are a bit pricey) this is my go to place as the cookies and some of their other desserts are really delicious. And most of the staff are really nice and go out of their way to accommodate/assist in explaining/describing certain sweets too. read more

Great food and service. Will be bringing guests here to enjoy the desserts and cookies

I love their almond covered amaretti and carrot cake but I've been told everything is delicious. I enjoy the fact that they are open on the weekends. read more

The best pastries in Florida no debate. The chai tea was the best tea I've tasted, and the blueberry muffin was moist and warm. Seth and Ahmad were the best cashiers I've ever met. 11/10 would recommend read more

I love this little gem! I always stop when I'm in this part of town. This is one of those few shops where the tastebuds only throw a mutiny and the brain allows it, because that's the only way to keep control! The choices are plentiful, and that means an argument among the mutineers, but the brain takes control by giving in a little and allowing not just a on the spot treat, but also a take along treat to be enjoyed later. Today was chocolate cake and a glass of milk in the store (that was breakfast), and a piece of the peanut butter pie for later. I've been here several times, and even though I know I'll be suffering from a sugar coma later, it doesn't stop me from coming back. read more

Amaretti Desserts - Chocolate overload cake with a glass of milk! Breakfast of Champions! - Desserts Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We have been to Amaretti Desserts many times and it's one of the best small bakeries in Jacksonville (as far as huge selection and best bang for your buck!) You can easily get a good sized portion of a sweet treat for $5.75 or less. The Cake and Pie slice servings are large enough to share! Amaretti Desserts has a wide selection of Breakfast Pastries, Cookies, Pies, Cakes, Desserts. They also cater whole Cakes, Pies and Trays. Everything is made from scratch and fresh. While it's hard to go wrong with anything there, other Winning picks are the Derby Pie, Tiramisu, Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake, and Carrot Cake. If you cannot decide, the staff is always friendly to help give their top picks for suggestions. There is also another location in San Marco connected to the San Marco Theatre. They have a similar selection but it is in a considerably smaller venue. I can't really find any minuses or criticisms other than the Old St. Augustine location is too close to work and wreak havoc on my week day healthy food regimen if I fall into dessert temptation ;) Tip: One of our "Go To" desserts (Chocolate Chip S'mores Bar) appears to be seasonal for the summer months. The bar consists of chocolate chip cookie top and bottom with layers of marshmallow spread and crushed gram crackers. It's a good sized portion for $3.75. It's definitely worth a try. read more

Amaretti Desserts - Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake (I think this is my new go-to fav at Amarettis) - Desserts Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Great cookies and fabulous coconut cream pie! I always love stopping in here. Highly recommend!

The chocolate cake and chocolate chip brownies are our favorites. They're both extremely rich with flavor and baked fresh.

Amaretti Desserts has earned my love from my interaction with the workers alone. Add that to their delicious dessert selection, and perfection is achieved. I cannot stress how much customer service factors in making or breaking my food experiences, and this bakery did not disappoint. There is an ample amount of options to choose from; eclairs, cupcakes, cakes, cheesecakes, and cinnamon rolls are only a few of the desserts I can recall at the top of my head. Can you imagine what this bakery smells like? Even more so, they serve coffee from our local Brass Tacks Coffee Company, which makes it perfect for an evening coffee-and-cake visit with your friends and family. I was warmly welcomed and helped when asking questions. Upon leaving, salutations were repeated and I was asked to visit again- and you know I will. This location is hidden in a plaza and I only wish I discovered it earlier. I got everything I needed and more. My chocolate cake was out of this world and the customer service was an A++. read more

Oh man cant say enough about this place. They are soooooo good. Good size dessert. And the staff always had a smile on their faces

I have only tried the chocolate cake... And that right there is FIVE STARS! Hubby scarfed a huge molasses cookie & didn't even offer me a taste- aka it was that good. We also took home coconut creme pie & a blueberry crumb cake (I'm eating for breakfast). I will be making the trip there again & I love love love that they are open in the evening! Cake-pies-cookies oh my! Highly recommend! read more

My favorite desert bakery in the area. Love their shortbread cookies and my wife swears by their tiramisu. Good coffee/espresso to go along with it. I recommend this place highly for people who want good desert pastries read more

Great coconut cake and cannoli. The staff was very helpful and informative! Thank you!

Very good desserts! The prices are good too. We are in the market for a cake for a special occasion so we have been sampling dessert shops and this one is a definite maybe. My only complaint is I wish the cake part of the Oreo cake would have been a bit more moist. Other than that the Kentucky Derby Pie was heavenly, the Peanut Butter Pie started off great and got better with each bite and the Cannoli was sinfully delicious! We will absolutely be back! read more

Amaretti Desserts - Oreo cake, Kentucky Derby Pie, and Cannoli all very good. The Pie was my favorited the three. - Desserts Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The desserts were so yummy! We had key lime pie, rum cake and tiramisu. The ingredients were fresh with the right balance of flavor, authentic, and reasonably priced. They have a big selection of cakes and some different varieties of muffins. We will defintely try some other next time. read more

I'm in paradise. Love this little place and didn't know it existed! The decor was nice and the desserts looked amazing! Oh the sweets were calling me to buy them and eat devour them. Lol. A good size dessert is about the size of your hand which I believe is plenty to share with others. They also have cakes and you can pre-order them. When I was there, they had made cakes for Thanksgiving and people had already pre-ordered them. Very smart thing to do and good business. I bought the Brownie and Blueberry Coffeecake. I died because it was so delicious. Most and not too dry. Made just right! I shared the Brownie and Blueberry coffeecake with a good amount of people at work and we devoured it so quickly. Seriously, I wanted to drive back and get more because it was so good! I would definitely recommend this place and I believe next time, I'll order a holiday cake. :) read more

This little coffee/dessert spot has the BEST chocolate silk pie! It's so creamy and delicious! We also tried the red velvet cheesecake. It was very good also, but I highly recommend sharing a piece with a friend! It's super rich! If you're looking for a good cappuccino, this is the place to go. So far those are the only items we've tried, but we definitely plan on going back for more. I will say you should get there early if there's a specific item you want. Items are made daily and definitely run out! We've only been in the evenings but have lucked out with them still having a few items left available. Everything we've tried so far is so good, which is nice since we get there later in the day. I haven't been able to try the plain cheesecake yet, so I plan to go earlier someday soon before it runs out! This shop is small, so there's not a lot of room for social distancing if you go during high traffic time. However, the shop is kept very clean, and masks are required for the employees and customers. We dined in once with no problems (the shop was pretty empty) and we took our dessert home with us another time. Everything is served in To Go containers anyway, so you could easily do both! I'll be sure to take pics before we scarf it all down next time! Although pictures won't do this deliciousness justice! read more

Passed by on a spur of the moment when I saw that they serve Pura Bean coffee-- my all time fave coffee. A pretty good selection of cakes and cookies and sticky buns... sweet, sweet and more sweets! 5 tables of 4 for an inside seating.... would probably be even more comfy with some couch setup. No outside seating from what I can see. There was a sign saying wifi was free and a previous post referred to it being free, but alas, my kids' kindle devices remained off the grid since all connections were secured. This wasn't really such a big deal since they ended up being fully engaged in the sweetness of the massive cookies and milk they ordered. read more

Best bakery outside of Brooklyn, NY!!! Everything we tried was incredible, moist and very fresh. Bread Pudding- GREAT Oreo Cake- GREAT Tiarmisu- GREAT Lemon Bar- GREAT Apple Pie- GREAT We stopped in to get a few slices to bring home for my wife's birthday celebration. Why didn't 't we go here sooner? I think I could have picked anything here and been happy. Can't wait to try some of the other things they have. They have inside seating so you have the option of eating it there with a cup of coffee too. Sparkling clean and a very nice employee who helped my kids make the momentus decision as to what delectable treat they should share with their Mama. This is a great bakery!!! read more

Best cookies, specially amaretti and macaroons. Great assortment of variety of pastries. Good coffee too.

This is the kinda place I couldn't wait to leave a review for.....authentic, delicious, fresh, homemade desserts!! I stopped in today around 2 wanting a treat. They had a large assortment of desserts, so I just grabbed a few different things to take home to try. Tiramisu- THIS is how tiramisu is supposed to taste, from the first bite I was blown away!! First strong coffee/alcohol smell, then you take a bite and its creamy, coffee, cookie bliss!!! I just loved it, I could eat this every day!! ($4/5) Amaretti cookie- another home run, an amaretto/almond cookie...they have 2 kinds plain and coated in sliced almonds...both were absolutely delish, nice crust but gooey on the inside! So so so good!! I preferred the coated in almond one, I want one right now!! I didn't buy enough! ;) ($1/2) Coconut macaroons- Big generous scoops of shredded coconut baked yummyness, with the option to have bottom dipped in chocolate (of course!) loved it.($2/3) Cheese Danish- soft croissant pastry with sweet cheese in the middle, again just delicious!! ($3/4) My Italian blood was so happy!! I can't wait to go back! read more

This was the cutest little bakery! I was craving a dessert and I didn't want the usual cookie, cake or pie. Of course I jump on Yelp and saw this little gem. I walk over to the display case and my eyes locked on to the bread pudding. It wasn't your run of the mill bread pudding either. It was a white chocolate bread pudding with a white chocolate sauce! Yaaaaaaassssssss! I sat down and proceeded to "go to town" on that bread pudding. It was around $6, a bit pricey, but well worth it! If you're in Jacksonville and looking for a quaint, quiet, bakery that has some unique takes on desserts this is one place you should check out. They do have cookies, monster size cookies, and cakes if that's what you're craving. read more

Amaretti Desserts - Vanilla & Chocolate layer cake with chocolate mousse filling, topped with Strawberries... so good!! - Desserts Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This is so overdue. Was hunting down macaroons all over Duval when Yelp lead us here. Make sure you say French Macaroons. We called ahead before we traveled over to make sure they had some in stock for us to try out. But we get there and learn that they must be ordered ahead of time. No clue if this policy has changed. Since we were already there and hadn't gotten breakfast, we grab some drinks and treats for the road. Somehow we waited til we got back home to try out our sweets and I was disappointed. We should have purchased more! I love coconut and I love cupcakes so the German chocolate cupcake was a must along with the banana pudding cupcake. And chocolate caramel. And the sticky buns with all those pecans. I've returned on many occasions for those sticky buns. Drooling a little bit. Each individual dessert was maybe $2-$4 each (I can't remember). But you won't fell bad for whatever you purchase. Counter people are nice but not always the most informative. (I only drop in on the weekends.) So I never got the chance to try the macaroons but the desserts are DELICIOUS! read more

Wow. Wow. Wowowowow. This place is incredible. Came at noon on a Saturday and the dessert case was fully stocked (except for the apple pie--I took the last slice! Muahahaha!) The Kentucky Derby Pie was perfection. The woman at the counter described it as "a combination between a chocolate chip cookie and pecan pie." How would one NOT get that after that explanation? It was delicious: moist, chewy, crunchy, rich. The apple pie was to die for. Sweet chunks of apples and cinnamon with the most delicious & thick crust ever. Buttery and perfect! Chocolate revel bar: thick with chocolate, oatmeal, & nuts. Satisfying and weirdly delicious. Chocolate chip cookies: soft and they taste like they just came out of grandma's oven. Thick, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious. The cannoli was yummy. Very filling!!! As a bonus, the women at the counter were so kind and patient as my husband and I drooled over every item and asked what was in everything. We will be back in a few days because there are so many things that must be tried! read more

Amaretti Desserts - Sticky Bun - very very good - Desserts Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This place is outrageous! The cookies are fantastic with the molasses cookies being out of this world. The Italian cookies, especially the lemon ricotta can go toe to toe with any bakery in the north end of Boston. Muffins and great, lemon bars fantastic, cupcakes all next level. Being a transplant from New England I've found the food in Florida all decidedly mediocre. This place is the exception. You must try! read more

This is the best place in the world. I have never in my life had a better cannoli. The cortadito coffee is amazing!

This is my favorite bakery in Jacksonville hands down. I come here as often as a I can, the baked goods are out of this world! They put so much love and care into everything they make, the cream puffs and cannolis are jam packed with filling. They have different types of croissants, almond, original, chocolate, and a everything bagel style croissant stuffed with cream cheese! You honestly can't go wrong with anything here, the desserts are dangerously delicious. Trust me you don't wanna miss out on this local bakery!!! read more

My first visit was Friday, but it won't be the last! It was the wife's birthday so I was off to find cake! Looking at the reviews this seemed like just the place. It was small but as soon as you go through the door your nose tells you you found the right place. It has a good assortment of cookies and pastry all of which looked great, but the mission was cake. Knowing my wife of 50 years I took home a large slice of a beautiful chocolate layer cake that was nicely packed by the congenial fellow behind the counter and off I went. (OK, I got her some cookies too). She said the cake was delicious and was delighted! read more

Amaretti Desserts - Chocolate cake - Desserts Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Amaretti's is our go-to spot for high quality desserts. They have a great selection of incredible looking (and tasting) cakes, cookies and other sweet treats, as well as Pura Bean coffee. We've tried quite a few items by now, but we really gravitate towards the tiramisu, which I still find to be the best in the city. We also enjoy the amaretti cookies, which I understand are made from almond flour. Creatures of habit that we are, we picked up both of those last night after dinner. Amaretti's located in a shopping plaza right along US 1, which is convenient... actually it might be just a bit too convenient. There is almost always one of us in the car who brings up the idea of stopping, and only occasionally is there another in the car with a voice of reason! It was also quite cool to see them featured on TV recently. This summer, we watched Amaretti's work being featured on the Cooking Channel show "Epic Sweets." More on that here: http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/food-and-dining/2017-08-23/three-jacksonville-bakers-featured-cooking-channel-s-epic It is amazing to see a local business doing that well, and receiving attention for their efforts. read more
