    Exactly what we did..
    Shante A.

    We noticed this dainty café while on our way to The Fox Restaurant, and being the coffee lovers we are... we just couldn't pass up the experience. Therefore, we saved our craving for a fresh cup of coffee until after breakfast at The Fox just to stop by the Old Cup Cafe. I must say, it kind of gave me the vibes of a little vintage, French pastry shop. Never been to France but, this is what I envision it would look like. Upon entering the café, I was totally expecting a nice greeting but didn't receive anything. But, I was in a great mood because that's just who I am. The mature gentleman behind the counter Pom our order with very minimal conversation. However, the delicious Caramel macchiato which stayed hot for nearly 1 hour and a half - total record breaker - made up for the lack of communication. I will be back to try the dirty chai latte. It sounds insanely good. Side note: if you are looking for a quite place to read, write, or study on a Saturday or Sunday morning... this is the place. It was super quite there.

    Old Cup Cafe is located in the heart of Avondale (same block as Biscotti's) and is quite an adorable shop, very neat and clean. The bathroom is not for the claustrophobic though, extremely small, but clean. The red velvet cupcake here was the star of the visit. It was very rich and dense, flavorful but not overly sweet. The other choices available (shortbread bars, tarts, etc.) were beautiful to look at and very enticing. We will definitely be back to try other sweets here. Daughter had a hot chocolate, which she said was very good. I had a cappuccino, which was probably the strongest coffee I've tried since we started out coffee outings. It had a nice flavor but I was surprised by the strength of the brew.

    Cake pop endorsement!

    Ok- so this place gets a solid 4 stars from me . The stern Ukrainian working the counter has the perpetual "Don't f with me face" but the product here is great. I was expecting like an old mug with my coffee- like as a receptacle - buuuuut the only old mug here was the mean Ukrainian. All in all, I liked it, though the interior of the place , while homey, could use some love. If you are in the Avondale area and need a good cup of joe without a lot of fuss, check this place out

    Really H.

    I've always wanted to stop in to this little cafe. It's just that, very little. It should be though. It has a very personal feel. I was craving a pastry and espresso for breakfast on Sunday. The owner made me an Americano and it was perfect, strong but not burnt. They had more than bakery options, sandwiches and such, but I got a raspberry coffee cake. It was yummy! It hit the spot. I'm only giving this place a 4 because with the small area, I would have felt more comfortable if he was wearing a mask.

    love you a latte

    The Baker's Son is one of those places where you walk in for one thing and somehow leave with a…read morefull basket... every single time. Everything looks so good it's basically impossible to choose just one treat. Big fan of the Spam musubi --always grab one. The Dubai chocolate croissants are insanely good, and honestly anything ube they make is a must. The flavors are always on point and everything tastes super fresh. Perfect spot when you're in the mood to treat yourself (or when you fully accept you're leaving with way more than you planned). Easily one of my favorite stops for pastries and snacks.

    The cinnamon roll ($3) was outstanding, probably as good as any I've had. We microwaved it for 25…read moreseconds, which may have been the key (though we've liked it here before). 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.

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've been helped by a couple different people and they always come off stoic but that could just be their personality I guess. Never really smiling or friendly.

    Pineapple buns with custard filling, $2.75 each. They're a better value and tastier than the cheesecakes.

    Carb-loading on a big event day at 1748 Bakehouse was a very good decision. Shoutout to our local…read moreJax queen, Gabi Y, for suggesting this local gem! 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!

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
