I go to Cafe Veneto a couple of times a month. It's a small place, and generally pretty calm; this is surprising because the quality of the food, pastries, and drinks are phenomenal. Honestly, with a more public location, I believe that this place would take off: it's genuinely that good. For now, though, I am happy with how quiet it is because that gives me a bit more privacy. If I were a more selfish person, I wouldn't write this review, but the owner is such a kind person (she's always there) and the business is so far superior to anything else in the area that I can't help but hope this place gets flooded by customers. So give this place a shot, but please don't be too crazy. I like to sit in the corner with my coffee in relative peace. read more

Was trying to decide between IHOP and Dennys with my girlfriend and saw this place on Google Maps. So we decided to try something new and oh man, are we pleasantly surprised. Starting with my caramel frappe, I would have to say that that is the best frappe I have ever had in my entire life. It was so thick, rich, and creamy and the caramel flavor just sends your tastebuds into a savor heaven. I also got a steak and cheese omelet, hands down one of the best omelets I've had. The fact that this is a small business, and one that actually cares about making good, quality food made from scratch, and from the heart.. Give this place a try, they have a lot of different menu options that cover a wide variety of breakfast foods. read more

This has place has just earned its place among my favourites. It may seem small but its nice and cozy. The food was great, and the atmosphere is relaxing. Perfect for a cold and or rainy day. Today was my first time going; I ordered a hot chocolate and a Italian custard pastry. Both of which were tasty, not overpriced, and pleasing to the eye. The woman there was very sweet and helpful, occasionally checking in on us from time to time. The prices are reasonable and the food is decent, the place is clean and the workers friendly. Besides the low playing Christmas music and faint sound of cars its quiet. Over all its a nice and cozy place perfect for a mini get away or quick bite in a peaceful atmosphere. read more

This European cafe is the best kept secret in Jacksonville. You are not going to regret stopping by. Mina Huskic bakes up some of the tastiest and most beautiful desserts I have ever tried. I stopped by Cafe Veneto today for the first time with my mom, and I cannot talk enough about how tasty and fresh our meal was. My mom had the spinach and mushroom omelet. I had the lasagna omelet on a bagel - truly delicious! Choosing a dessert was really tough. In the end, my mom went for the French pastries and I had the German cheesecake. Super tasty. Everything is homemade. I was amazed at the high quality of the food and the friendly service. Thank you Mina for a great time at Cafe Veneto. We will be back. read more

Absolutely Terrible Experience - Stay Away I had one of the worst dining experiences at Café Veneto in Jacksonville, FL. The food was awful--both sandwiches I ordered were not only poorly made but also came with the wrong ingredients. When I called to address the issue, the staff was extremely rude, dismissive, and unhelpful. The service overall was just as bad as the food--disorganized, slow, and completely lacking professionalism. I ended up disputing the charges because the experience was unacceptable. Save yourself the frustration--do not waste your time or money at this restaurant. read more

This was my first time comming to this cafe, and I have to say, ive never had better food for the price in my life. You can tell that the owner goes the extra step when making evey creation... i tried the chicken pesto panini, and a couple espresso machiato' s. The drinks were made to perfection and were possibly the best machiato's ive ever had... the panini was full of flavor and again, thr best panini ive ever had... i dont normally trust reviews, but i promise you will not be disappointed coming to this cafe, would recommend to anyone in jacksonville. read more

I ordered food over the phone with Mina and everything was delicious. I had tried the crepes and the sausage sandwich, mocha coffee, and a piña colada. The crepes were the best I've had in a while and the sandwich was perfect. She even gave me a complimentary cookie, (which was to die for!) I came back with a friend of mine and she also loved her meal. Mina is super friendly and an excellent cook. We got to talking and there is no language barrier like someone mentioned in a previous review, she understands perfectly! Thank you Mina! read more

This place has ruined me... In the BEST way. As soon as you walk through the door you feel like you're in Europe (multi-colored chairs. Mosaic tiled tables. Acordian music in the background. Warm from no AC). The omelets are FANTASTIC. I don't know what she puts in them but they're well seasoned. I can never go back to a simple S&P seasoned omelet. Please do yourself a favor. Stop what you're doing. (Probably combing through sub-par Yelp reviews). Come here for a coffee and breakfast. You'll thank yourself. read more

My family and I came to Jacksonville for spring break and decided to come here early on in the week. We ordered the ice coffee (2 bucks each, which is a great price in my eyes) and were instantly hooked. The owner is the sweetest person who worked very hard to craft our drinks. Needless to say, after that first visit, we spent almost every morning of our spring break at Cafe Veneto. The egg and cheese muffin was also a hit amongst us; so so good! This place is awesome and would recommend to anyone. read more

Authentic and delicious. Made fresh to order , I got the gyro panini and it was worth the wait and money, definitely will be going back. The guava juice was an excellent compliment. My friend ordered the egg, potato, and turkey sausage in a pita pocket wish was also delicious, and an almond milk latte that really made the whole experience. The host was friendly and accommodating. Will be returning , and highly recommend. read more

This is a hidden gem! I am so glad that I found this cafe! The desserts are the most delicious I've tasted with incredibly fresh ingredients. The wrap I got was absolutely amazing. I must say that the quality of the food could rival the finest cafes in any big city. Plus, the owner, who makes everything in-house, had such hospitality. I will gladly recommend Cafe Veneto to everyone! read more

It was my first visit and I couldn't have been more smitten by the charm of Cafe Veneto! The cakes we tried we moist and full of flavour! Plenty of variety, and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. I definitely plan on returning to try the meals they offer & sample more of the cakes. I and extremely picky with where I choose to eat, but I would recommend it to everyone!!! read more

I came in for a quick bite while running errands. What a nice surprise. I loved the German cheese cake. Everything looked so delicious it was hard to decide. The coffee was perfect. I can't wait to come back. Next time I'll have my husband with me. He's gonna love this place. The owner bakes everything so beautifully. I can't wait to try the chicken pesto. Also, super clean. read more

This is literally my favorite cafe like ever. The two nice women that work in there are fantastic hostess and i couldn't ask for anything less then what i got when i went. I got a chocolate and banana crepe and a carrot cake which was also off the charts. If your looking for a nice cafe to sit and drink coffee and have a nice snack I'd definitely recommend coming here. read more

Stopped in on our drive up from Orlando to Savannah. Based on the reviews we wanted to give it a try. Glad we stopped. Amazing food. Fresh and delicious. I ordered the Basil Chicken Wrap, it was amazing. Wife ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, she loved it. Greek Salad was awesome. Son ordered the Nutella and Strawberry crepe and loved it. Highly recommend. read more

Honestly, this is probably the best idea I'd ever had for breakfast. The cappuccinos are to die for, the food could not be ANY better. The woman that works here makes it all by hand and has never heard the word "skimp" in her life. The cakes are beautiful and the hospitality is perfect. I'll be coming here for more little morning dates more often. read more

Everyone who post low reviews on this place are trying to complain that their taste buds of a 5 year old think McDonald's is fine cuisine. Hands down the best place in Jacksonville. Everything is great and the taste of all the dishes and drinks are savorable. Some people wouldn't know good food even if they got hit in the face with it. read more

Delicious Paninis! Great coffee and don't even get me started on their crepes. Friendly service and very clean. You can't go wrong with the Pesto or the Mediterranean panini. My son found this place recently, it's a bit hidden in a plaza in front of the Regency Walmart- but once you find it I guarantee you will be fully satisfied! read more
