Long wait times to get a table and after we were seated we sat for about 10 minutes without even getting coffee. We had to raise our hand and ask for it. She also never came over to refill them. I ordered a special they had and it was so gross. Not sure what leftover crap they threw on the plate but we were not impressed. Definitely won't return.

Love their pastries, baguette sandwiches and coffee! Beautiful interior and great customer service…read more My favorite is Le Germain. It has prosciutto ham, mozzarella, green pesto, shaved Parmesan and arugula! Their baguette is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making every bite delicious! They also have a wide selections of coffee drinks at prices they are very reasonable compared to other coffee shops around. And of course, they offer some of the best quality pastries in Jacksonville! Definitely a must visit local business!

Mario and his staff are all genuine human beings! That is a trait that is so hard to find among those in the service industry. Most are out to make a quick buck and call it a day, then Rinse & repeat the next day. I don't get that vibe from ANYONE at Cafe Genovese. THE MOMENT any customer swings open the door they are greeted with a 'Hey guys' if not even addressed by name.... After all the logo on their uniform shirts states ' 'Cafe Genovese.... Where we don't forget your name!' The food is always made perfectly to your specifications! Not once have I EVER sent an order back because it wasn't right the first time. The menu lists extensive options for both breakfast and lunch... so you just can't go wrong! Give 'em a try! You're likely to become regulars just like I did!

While we were seated and others walked in the owner knew so many regulars by name. We felt welcomed. Perfect for breakfast & lunch, closed at 2pm. My scrambled eggs were fluffy and hash browns toasty crispy as asked . Was surprised they had everything bagels and not just plums like most places. This will become a regular place to go. No food pics, sorry forgot and I ate it all:))

I went in for a sandwich to go, and learned I will be coming back - soon - for breakfast!…read more First the server found that I was taking my Italian sub to go, so they graciously wrapped everything separately so the bread would not get soggy! Who does that?!? Someone who cares about the quality of their food and their customer. I noticed biscuits and gravy on the breakfast menu, and I am a snob and love biscuits and gravy, but I am pretty picky. They let me try their gravy, and let me tell you, it was delicious! Just peppery enough for a bit of a kick, with nice large pieces of sausage. I was drooling over my little taste of this. They make their own biscuits as well, so I will be back soon for this. Restaurant is in a strip mall of sorts, and doesn't "stand out", but inside it is cozy and quite cute. They have a case full of keto desserts that looked amazing! I will be back, and as they serve breakfast all day - no one says you have to eat biscuits and gravy in the morning - right?!

The staff were attentive, informative and proud of their offerings. I asked about what appeared to be Napoleon cake and they did indeed carry Napoleon cake. I'll try that on my next visit. That's not common here in the south. Inside is clean and quaint. I really nice place to have a coffee and dessert. My wife tried some low carb options. See Laura A in Jacksonville for more details. I had the carrot cake and the Snickers cheesecake. Both really solid. The carrot cake was moist and the icy really light. The cream cheese icing came through but was not overwhelming. The Snickers cheesecake had all that was best about both and when eaten, just melded into one delicious bite. Nothing too sweet, everything balanced really well. We'll be back to try more. I highly recommend you give Wicked Batter at try. Really good bakery/cafe.

The team members were politely social and regularly checked on their tables. I wasn't sure if I had to wait or could seat myself. So, I walked in and moved toward the breakfast bar but was seated by one of the owners, Celine (I hope that I spelled it right.) I ordered an egg, soft scrambled, turkey sausage with grits, a pancake and a cup of decaf coffee. The pancake was LARGE . I knew that I wasn't going to finish, and I was right! I reckon it's standard not to season eggs, but would that include the water for grits? A suggestion: try cooking the grits in broth to enhance the flavor! That's it. Celine shared that she and Mark have owned the restaurant for the past 3 of the 35-year history. She jokes that he looks like Guy Fieri and he quips that he's better looking. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. I plan to try their lunch menu, soon.

From the moment we laid eyes on the pastry case, our jaws were on the floor. Everything we had was amazing -- the breakfast sandwich on sourdough, ham & cheese croissant, matcha cheesecake blueberry croissant tart, and the brie country ham & hot honey galette. JUST WOW! We also got some lattes to fuel our morning and I opted for their special brown butter sesame latte -- yum! The bakery itself is very cute with some market and pantry items available to shop as well. The staff was very patient as we asked a million questions about all the pastries before making our selections. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the downtown Jax area!

Yes to all the carbs in this bakehouse!…read more I was in town for a work event and we decided to grab a bite from here since Gabi recommended. It DID NOT disappoint. A cute little spot with a lot of specialized baked goods that will make you want to get one of everything. The service was super friendly and helpful. We ended up getting a few of the baked goods to share for breakfast and I got the matcha lemonade. The lemonade was a good change of pace from my usual matcha latte. To share, we got the matcha cheesecake blueberries danish, the brie country ham and hot honey galette, and a ham and cheese croissant. Everything was delicious and devoured! The inside is also super cute to peruse around and maybe grab something. They have stickers, and a few odds and ends that might interest anyone to get at least one thing. Such a cute bakehouse in Jax!

My dining companion had the 1/3 with cheese and bacon and fries. The tea was delicious and I mixed it half and half. They use simply syrup and Martin's liquid tea packages. So old fashioned and good. They carry Pepsi products. My fish were good and the onion rings hot out of the fryer. My friend's burger was very good. If you think about what this diner is, it is simple food done well and inexpensive served in a friendly atmosphere. The oil was new and everything was done well.
