Walked in 30 min before close and the baristas were so sweet and patient. It was my first time and…read moreI was excited to see they had some fall specials. I decided on the apple butter latte, roommate got the pumpkin chai. They were both really good drinks. TBH the latte wasn't as sweet as I was expecting but it was still tasty as the espresso tasted delicious. I also bought a matcha chocolate chip cookie which was heavy on the matcha flavor which I enjoyed. The ambiance was really comforting and cozy. Something about the lighting made it feel that way. It's almost decorated like someone's nice living room. It just felt good and I immediately thought about how my other coffee loving friend needs to come here. They also have a rewards system where you can get 5 dollars off for your birthday which is pretty sweet. Ok thanks for reading this, highly recommend!!

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars because the staff was that good. From the second I…read morewalked in, everyone was genuinely friendly and made me feel right at home. The coffee was really good too, and I loved how creative the menu was. They definitely have some fun drinks you don't see everywhere. The food, though... it was just okay. Not bad by any means, but it didn't really match how much I enjoyed everything else. I had a muffin that looked amazing but tasted a little underwhelming. The inside is a vibe. Plenty of seating whether you're meeting up with friends, knocking out some work, or just enjoying a coffee by yourself. I'd absolutely come back for the coffee and the atmosphere. If the food stepped up a notch, this would easily be a 5-star.

This iced Honey Badger is the best coffee I have ever had!!…read more I have tried to recreate it myself with honey, cinnamon and vanilla, but it never tastes as good as when I get it from the store. The workers are always super friendly too!! I signed up for the perks so every time I purchase something I get points. I've got enough now for a full bag of any of their coffees, yay!!!

Kookaburra...what happened?…read more When we first moved to Saint John's a few years ago from California, I thought the speciality coffee was sure to disappoint. However, to my surprise, Kookaburra had phenomenal lattes. On top of that it's a great place to bring the kids and was our Saturday ritual we looked to do after taking my girls to the dance studio nearby. However, for the past 6 months the quality of the lattes has deteriorated. The lattes come out either too bitter, watery and/or EXTREMELY hot. (It is possible to burn the milk while you froth it.) I'm not sure what it is, maybe the machines aren't being cleaned frequently, the espresso isn't dialed in, there is a new staff that isn't trained properly and pays attention to details? This is also not a one time occasion. I have come back many times and hoped the quality would be different. I've given back my latte and pointed out its ways too hot , the milk hasn't frothed well, etc, but still leave disappointed. One thing that I can't wrap my mind around is that there is a coffee shop about 10 minutes (Mikes Pour) which sources their beans Kookaburra and were initially trained by Kookaburra. Same recipes , just different name AND better taste. This place can be the perfect shop for the neighborhood. And I love the brand and was inclined to buy some swag. I'll be back eventually , with the hope the quality has improved. This place has the potentially to be 5 stars..

The power bowl was really delicious but the cup they serve it in made it hard to enjoy. I was trying to scoop out the egg which falls to the bottom so that was awkward to eat but super good. I suggest more of a tray or actual bowl would be easier to eat this in. I got my order really quickly and they have plenty parking. It was busy and plenty customers. Really enjoyed my visit and stayed a bit to work in the cafe on my laptop.

Really cute coffee and food spot! The guy at the counter was very patient with my questions. I…read moreended up getting the grits bowl (whole grain grits woooo!) and it was yummy. I had a plum cinnamon tea which was also great and hit the spot on a rainy day. The WiFi connected but wouldn't open any pages except google, so that was a bummer. I'd love to see for-here food come in an actual plate or bowl. The bowl mine came in had all the egg & sausage on the bottom, so you ate grits first then everything else. Still, I'd come back and try more things. I also tried the chocolate banana thing (muffin? Donut? Cupcake.) and found it pretty disappointing. The cake part itself is good, very moist. Too moist to be a donut or a muffin, so it must be a cupcake, which is weird considering the shape. The icing was awful. It's so overpoweringly sweet it doesn't taste like chocolate or banana, just sugar. If you don't scrape it off, it makes the whole thing way too sweet.

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!

The staff was so extremely nice and even offered to make anything I wanted (many of the items were already sold). I mentioned wanting a caramel latte (not on the menu) and the young gentleman volunteered to make it anyway. The service alone was 12/10. Now I don't even want to get started on the doughnuts. Everything was good. I chose 5 different items and I can't even tell you which one I liked the best. All of them were equally amazing, flaky and sweet. We even warmed them to give them a lil edge. Overall, this place is dangerously accommodating and equally tasty. It's the best new thing I've tried all year.

If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. Our local family friends highly…read morerecommended Parlor Doughnuts while we were visiting Jacksonville, and after reading all of the rave reviews, we knew we had to try it. It somehow exceeded every expectation. The coffee was incredible, and they had such a fun selection of specialty drinks. We ordered the breakfast burritos, and they were absolutely phenomenal. They were packed with flavor, made fresh, and honestly just as memorable as the doughnuts themselves. Speaking of the doughnuts... I don't even know where to begin. They're unlike any doughnut I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with creative flavors. If you're on a diet, you might want to avoid this place because once you have one, you'll want to try them all. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of energy. We loved our first visit so much that we came back a second time during the same trip, which says everything. My fiancé walked out saying he wanted to open a Parlor Doughnuts in our hometown because it was that good. This is one of those places that completely lives up to the hype. If you're anywhere near Jacksonville, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it.

My second favorite was the carrot cake but honestly everything was good so you really can't go wrong!

Definitely a must try! We will be back to try some of the other desserts!

At that point, I figured I would only get a drink instead. The iced Carmel latte was good.

The cashiers were busy fixing the register tape. No greeting from either of them but I could tell they were busy. I reviewed the menu but knew what I wanted at a glance. I got a Chai tea latte with an apple Danish. I'm headed to work and make the mornings great. They take their time in greetings but no worries. I know the Chai will be awesome! Kinder Kafe is very slow pace and it is great to see them take there time to make what you want. In between customers, the owners were cleaning the tables. The owner finally walked in no greeting as well. It was about 15 minutes and no Chai Latte yet. I definitely going to be late for work. I was not in a rush but I waited patiently for my latte. After 20 minutes, the cashier alerted me that she was finally starting my order. My Chai latte was warm and soothing. My apple pastry was heated which was a cute touch for the wait. I left Kinder Kafe with mixed reviews. I saw the the owner on my way out no smile and no thank you?
