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!

WOW!! Oh and I enjoyed their sad girl summer drink, Lol it was so delish! Biscotti's be doing it!! (Sadly, the lobster Reuben isn't back on the menu...I hope the chef find a way bring this sandwich back to the menu).

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.

While seeking an exceptional dining destination in Southbank this evening, I happened upon BB's,…read moreand it proved to be an absolute culinary triumph! Arrival was effortless thanks to their convenient parking options. Stepping inside, I was immediately enchanted by the ambiance. While unassuming at first glance, the decor is exquisitely appointed, featuring a charming bar area alongside a breathtaking display of artisanal cakes and delicate treats. The venue is pristine, elegant, and impeccably maintained. The hospitality was top-tier from start to finish. My server, Evan, was remarkably gracious, attentive, and ensured I was seated comfortably, making the entire experience feel thoroughly luxurious. To unwind after a long day, I ordered an Espresso Martini, which was mixed to sheer perfection smooth, rich, and an absolute delight. For my main dish, I selected the Duck Wonton Napoleon, which was nothing short of divine. The flavors were sophisticated, beautifully balanced, and executed with real skill. From the pristine cleanliness and chic decor to the stellar service from Evan and exquisite cuisine, BB's earns full marks. A thoroughly marvelous evening I shall most certainly be returning

My second favorite was the carrot cake but honestly everything was good so you really can't go wrong! We gave 4 stars because the chocolate cake was too dark for our preference and the lemon ricotta cookies were good but not out of this world like some of the other reviews mentioned. Definitely a must try! We will be back to try some of the other desserts!

The order-taker was rude, seeming to see customers in a negative light…read more Our pizza was below average. We got a Hawaiian pizza ($17 for a small). The ham was below average, with one hard bit. My wife didn't like that there was so little pineapple in it. Our Napoleon pastry was pretty good, and I might get it again ($5 for a small one). We both preferred it to the brownie ($4). I don't particularly like brownies, but this one looked particularly appetizing, and the order-taker said it was one of her favorites, so we tried it. That was a mistake. Perhaps I should have tried the mini cream puffs, which are a favorite of mine (3 for $5), instead. Among other things I usually like, they had carrot cake for $7 and a cup of cheesecake for $9 (which seems steep). Their fruit shaped pastries looked beautiful (and a couple next to us said they loved the mango one), but were $12 each. Their fruit-topped Danishes also looked delicious, but weren't available any more at lunch time. They also offer milk shakes and loaded (sweet) croissants. There are only four stools here next to a bar, if you want to eat in. The bathroom was pretty good. I probably wouldn't come here again, but if I were in the area I might try some of their other pastries or sweet treats.

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 also love the butter pecan flavor ice cream! The Taiyaki is also good, it's a fish-shaped bread dessert with red bean or Nutella filling! It's nice if you want something warm with your ice cream.

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.
