    Yum! We stopped here for breakfast and will be back. The cookie sandwiches and cake donuts are delicious. The inside is great and has a nice seating area to try all of your goodies.

    The incorrect cake.  Was supposed to be a white cake with white icing.  There clearly are cookie pieces in the filling.

    I had the worst experience with J's bakery. The owner is so rude. We hired J's bakery to bake my daughter's wedding cake for our destination wedding. The delivery guy called me because he couldn't get up to the venue, he needed the elevator code. I saw he called as he was leaving the voicemail. I immediately called him back. (Also all the other vendors we used never had to ask for the code. They all knew what the venue usually uses as the code there. J's is an established bakery and should have also) He then tells me he has to go back to the bakery because the cake fell over. I thought it was a joke. The only apology I got was a rude "sorry ma'am accidents happen. That is why you pay us to deliver, because if something happens we will fix it." He was back 3 hours later. After the ceremony and cocktail hour, just as we were about to have dinner. No other apology to my husband who I sent down to help him up. I didn't pay attention to the wedding cake that day. Only that it looked pretty. I tried a small piece of the cookies and cream. The cake didn't taste as good as we tried in January when we came to have a cake tasting. Then when we got home 2 days later I went to cut the cake to give to my daughter when she got home from her honeymoon. One cake was incorrect, the one I didn't try. So I thought I'm going to get ahold of the owner, I had his business card from January. I then listened to voicemail the delivery guy left when he needed the code to get in, it was so rude. He basically said if you want your cake you better call me back. The delivery guy, is the owner Ryan Thomas. And he "delivered" the cake out of the trunk of his orange bmw. I have texts to prove that. Why didn't he use the delivery truck? It was a big enough cake. Why put it in your vehicles trunk? I've contacted him a few times. He first called me back and was so rude and asked what I wanted from him because he provided a cake and he had money in it. I asked for refund of the incorrect cake or refund of the $175 delivery fee, not the full amount I paid. I then just moved on to the incorrect cake, he said I'll have to talk to my baker and hung up on me. He then proceeded to send me a text with the order form trying to prove me wrong. He said didn't you have a problem with the cookie pieces. I said not in the cookies and cream cake it was supposed to. I said the white cake had it in the icing inside. He said I understand. Then never replied to my 2 texts I sent 2 other days. Finally I sent 1 more. I said I guess if you don't want to resolve this with us, we will let our reviews do the talking. He then came at me with a text saying that the person cutting the cake probably used the same knife to cut the white cake after the chocolate and that is why there is cookie pieces in it. The cake was cut at home by me with a different knife. And you can definitely see cookie pieces in the icing. Not because of a knife. He told me to prove it. And that I just had a story and was expecting him to pay me. So I explained when I found the cookie pieces and sent the pics. Also told him the caterer was careful cutting the cake because we had guests with food allergies and I saw her being careful with things. He never replied after I sent the pics. And then I texted him the next to see if he got the pictures and he is now ignoring me. I get accidents happen. And if he would have been apologetic the day of the wedding, I probably would have looked over the incorrect cake. I even thanked him for supplying a cake for our guests even though it was 3 hours late. Ryan has been so rude to deal with, doesn't care that it caused so much stress on the wedding day. Or that the cake I paid good money for had one cake that was wrong. I would not recommend this bakery to anyone. It's sad that this will forever be stuck in my head about the most beautiful wedding we had for my daughter. I have included our texting convo. Blocked out part of his number because it's not my place to put it out there publicly. You see where he says he will be pulling up to deliver the cake out of his orange bmw. Also were only asked for a partial refund of the incorrect cake.

    I have been driving past this place for months and decided to go in on a whim. The intoxicating smell of a pastry shop greets you the second you open the door. Their cookies are a work of art and out of the 4 different pastries we ordered, all were AMAZING. Our favorite was the devil dog pastry - it is what a hostess snack cake dreams of becoming one day. Such a great local find!!!

    I'm always trying to find a bakery that actually makes good pasties. Most just taste like empty carbs and not worth it. J's make a delicious variety of pastries and everything is flavorful and sugary and delicious! From a box of cookies to a cake; they know what they're doing. They also have a yummy sandwiches menu. Easy to find, right on 12th street tucked away in the east hill neighborhood.

    I was in town for a wedding. Pensacola also happens to be my home town. And I wanted to find a nice…read morebreakfast one day. I hopped online to do some quick research, and found this place. Definitely new since I left home. I was interested. Ambiance was wonderful. A good amount of seating with each sitting spot feelings mildly secluded, which is nice. No one wants their coffee shop gossip being overheard. And when you walk in, you're first greeted with that classic glass case of available pastries and goodies. It was hard to not just order one of each item. Service was nice. It was counter service, and they bring your order right to your table. Can't ask for better service than that. Nice folks, good small talk. And the food, it was delightful. We got a couple of fancy coffee drinks, which were well-flavored, not too sweet, and the iced one was presented in a mason jar. Classic. We also shared like four food items. The pull-apart monkey bread was sweet and dense and delicious. Don't order this if you're alone. You'll need help to finish it. Got a creme filled pull pastry thing. That was nice. Flakes for days. This was no rough puff. For the chocolate croissant, also known as a pain au chocolat. Again, very flakey, very buttery, the perfect touch of sweet chocolate. And a savory, massive scone. Bacon and chives, I think. Also very good. Crumbly. Overall, I was very surprised. There certainly wasn't anywhere like this in Pensacola when I lived here. This place is a quality bakery that could easily be found in a medium-sized city. I was so pleased and will definitely come back.

    Pros: Ambiance was great. Pastry everywhere, nice seating…read morearea, and the smell of fresh baked bread in the air. Service was very friendly. They brought all that we ordered right to our table. Very nice. And the pastries themselves were very high quality. Flakey, not dry, well filled, of a good size. Definitely a high point. Cons: No real cons. I didn't have enough stomach space to try everything I wanted. Lol. Tips: The chocolate croissant and the creme filled thing we got were delicious. The scone was also good, but maybe less good than other things we left on the table. Need to come back here!

I've been here several times and…read moretried a bunch of different items, everything I've had so far has been fantastic (with a couple personal notes). * Hummus & Pita Plate - 10/10 Best hummus ever! The veggies are super fresh, and the warm pita is my favorite menu item. * Bacon Avocado Club - 10/10 Hearty, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. * Lion's Mane Chimichurri Sandwich - 5/10 Flavor was great, but the mushroom texture was too chewy for me. * Sriracha Mac & Cheese - 10/10 Absolutely addicting. * Knuckle Sandwich - 8/10 Tasty, but not as filling as the club sandwich.

Not surprising though considering the lackluster lazy service on top of the horrible garbage food. Just because you get vegan food doesn't mean you want to eat flavorless, overly salty or oily food that tastes like ash. If you prefer to use words like rancid, inedible, unsalvageable, carbonized or say tastes like ash, it's beyond redemption/saving, tastes or has a charcoal bitter aftertaste, rubbery and charred, extremely oily or extremely salty for "good food" and like lacksadaisical customer service then you should go here.
