    Adorable little cafe with delicious sandwiches, pastries, and coffee. We went here for a book club event (bedazzling our books) that the restaurant graciously allowed us to hold. I ordered a tomato, fresh mozzarella and pesto panini with a pellegrino and it was so good. I didn't have dessert but two of the other attendees did and raved about it. Definitely want to come back to enjoy some Coffee and treats!

    Customer service was good. The pastries looked delicious. I tried the cream puff, lobster tail and pistachio crossiant. The cream puff light and creamy Lobster tail was flaky but the ends was too crispy. Also with the crossiant, the ends were too crispy. I will definitely go back again to give other items a try. I had a French vanilla latte. It first came out in a glass which was too hot for me to grab to drink. I had to ask to be put into a mug. But the manager came out and was checking on the guest and cleaning tables which I love to see.

    When I searched for a espresso shop nearby and saw this name pop up on my navigation, I knew it was gonna be good. SAPORI café is like you're in Italy. The pastries are so authentic and fresh with such great varieties. The coffee is on point with awesome aesthetics. I love how they sell products as well such as different flavors of panettone. We will definitely be back and can't wait to take friends and family.

    Fairly plain little shop with a good amount of seating, including a couple of tables outside. Very friendly owners that love talking about Italy. I didn't try any of the food items but they looked so good! Will definitely be back for that. I ordered a hot Amaretto caffelatte and was given a choice of cups, which I like. Drink was very tasty with the perfect amount of sweetness. Parking is very easy here.

    I finally got to try this place!! Been wanting to go for a while but never had time. So on my day off my friend and I came here. Place has lots of parking spot, so no need to stress about parking. Place is small, but adorable, clean, and modern. I ordered the cappuccino with an extra shot of espresso, a pesto, mozzarella, ham sandwich with tomatoes and arugula, and a little dessert. The cappuccino was delicious and the sandwich was yummy in my tummy!!! I love their bread! It had such a nice crunch and texture to it. I also enjoyed the cream pastry. It was great paired with the coffee. Everything was amazing. From the staff, to the coffee, and food. I loved it and will colw back here again.

    The coffee is sooooo good.

    European authentic coffee and food! Yummy Great location!!!! Delicious pastries! I recommend this place to everyone.

    Creme bombolone
    Swarnendu S.

    An absolute gem!! While the decor keeps things simple and charming without any pretense, the real magic happens with every single bite and sip. The food here is truly extraordinary. I was thrilled to find bombolones - these Italian donuts are practically impossible to find in Jacksonville, and theirs were perfection. The croissant achieved that ideal flaky texture that so many places struggle with, practically melting in my mouth with each layer. We couldn't resist trying two of their cakes, and I'm so glad we did. Both were impeccably balanced - not too sweet. But the real showstopper was the tiramisu latte. What truly elevated the experience was the owner's genuine passion and knowledge. They took the time to explain each item. His helpfulness and warmth made us feel like welcomed guests rather than just customers. Sapori Cafe proves that you don't need flashy decor when your food speaks this eloquently. This is authentic Italian craftsmanship in the heart of Jacksonville.

    I just found out about this place yesterday so I had to make the stuff. OMG the pastry was perfect. This may be my first trip here, but it won't be my last as a Realtor ® it will be a great place to bring customers.

    I dropped in to Sapori Caffè after hearing such great things about this local, family-owned Italian coffee shop and bakery. Go ahead and add this to the growing list of rave reviews, it's well deserved. Located in the heart of Mandarin along San Jose Blvd. (same building as Clara's Tidbits), Sapori Caffè is the perfect "cozy coffee shop" getaway for those craving something out of the ordinary. I was taken aback by their large selection of both coffee and non-coffee based drinks, as well as the scrumptious Italian pastries beckoning from the glass case. The decor is minimalistic, but warm and welcoming, with enough seating for brunch with the besties. Noms: Decisions, decisions. I could go on and on about the variety of goodies, but that would take all day. Bring an appetite and come savor the experience. Pistachio Cake: This was the LIGHTEST cake that I've EVER eaten. It was like biting into a cloud, and in a very good way. It didn't have the overly-sweet "artificial" Pistachio pudding flavor, which brought it to the next level for me. Bomboloni with Nutella: You can choose from a variety of fillings for your Bomboloni, and I'm a HUGE Nutella fan, so that was the obvious choice for my first visit. Absolutely delicious, soft, doughy goodness, and I look forward to trying the other fillings on future visits. Italian Hot Chocolate: Its very rich....like...RICH. The "Elon Musk" of hot chocolates. Don't get me wrong, the flavor is on point, this ain't Swiss Miss territory, it's the REAL deal. And So: GO HERE, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Sapori Caffè has been around for 9 months, so stop in and show this awesome business some love! Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, SUPPORT your local eats and businesses, and as always...SYOY!

    Sapori has a small menu, but the sandwiches are delicious! They don't look very exciting, but everything is really fresh and the bread is perfectly toasted. Just like the sandwiches, the restaurant isn't super exciting to look at, but it's clean, which is most important. Not super happy about the price (2 sandwiches + 1 iced coffee + 1 sanpelegrino was $40), but everything is expensive these days.

    Cornatto filled with strawberry jam

    Lovely Cafe that transports you straight into Italy! Same owners as the crepe place in the avenues! We started with a little of everything, a cornetto which is very similar to a croissant it was airy and buttery! Cappuccino was so silky and creamy! Then the focaccio sandwich was delicious! It was crunchy on the exterior bread but light on the inside, really enjoyed, can't wait to head to Italy for more options on this sandwich! Great taste of Italy here in jax

    A delightful place for a LavAzza coffee and something sweet. Great casual ambiance. Family run--mostly.

    Chocolate Croissant
    Ashley H.

    My husband literally said "wow" as he bit into the chocolate croissant. For context: this man is a crusty sailor who doesn't even like croissants. He once spent a deployment in Somalia with the team attempting to see who could get the closest to eating raw steak . But this croissant? It broke him. He looked at me like the croissant had just rewritten his life story. And then there was the baguette. Not just bread--a baguette. Crisp, golden, the kind that makes you feel like you should be strolling down the Seine even if you're really just in the Publix parking lot. Easily the best baguette I've ever had. The service? As warm as the bread fresh from the oven. The ambiance? Effortlessly inviting. 10/10. Great service, great food, great ambiance. My husband will go back for the croissants. I'll go back for the baguette. And together, we'll pretend we're classy people who belong in Paris instead of Florida.

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?

The restaurant was spacious, clean, and packed but it wasn't overcrowded. Once we were seated, our waitress came to take our orders. She was phenomenal! Service was great, we were taken care of, and our waters always refilled. I ordered the following: Honey butter mini biscuits: 8.5/10 - warm, fluffy, buttery, and it came with a side of honey butter and blueberry compote? The honey butter was the star and it was so delicious on top of the warm biscuit. They were mini sized but they in my opinion, was the perfect size. I loved the flavor of the blueberry compote but it was a little too runny for me. When you mix the whipped honey butter and blueberry together, it was so yummy!!! You get alot for your order too. We had plenty to go around and extra among the 3 of us. Market veggie sandwich with potatoes: 9/10 - I really enjoyed this sandwich. It will packed with roasted crimini mushrooms, onions and spinach with basil pesto, mayo and mozzarella cheese. I opted for a side of potatoes instead of their salad. The sandwich was hearty, flavorful, and fresh. But their potatoes were to die for! Perfectly crispy and buttery! I would absolutely get this sandwich again. Million dollar bacon: 9/10 - my favorite side of all time is their million dollar bacon. It's sweet, smokey, crispy, and has a hint of spice from the black pepper and cayenne. I absolutely enjoyed the candied bacon. I even put some in my veggie sandwich and it reminded me of an elevated BLT. Overall, First Watch is definitely a breakfast staple for us. Great service and amazing food? I think yes!!!
