    Biscoff Bliss & Chunky Chunky Chip!
    Charlie Z.

    First time but definitely won't be my last! We ran in here for a quick treat but I'm eager to try their lunch menu next time I'm there! I was greeted by Flo she had a contagious smile, full of energy and conversation. Engaged with myself and made sure to make my son feel welcomed and included. I went with a Mango Dragon Fruit Chiller, honestly, I couldn't decide and all the drinks sounded good but the person ahead of me ordered this and so it was so pretty I had to give it a try. Very delicious!! Within Say So Sweets is also a new addition to her brand- a Gourmet Cookie Line CHUNKIEZ!! Delicious CHUNKY cookies!! Definitely don't skip trying these!! Very cute little cafe, you could have a quiet space to work or just catch up with a friend. The food was great but the service blew me away!

    It took me far too long to pop into this marvelous shop! I stopped by last week and again today. The staff is kind, informative and happy to help you. The ingredients are fresh, and delivered daily! If you want delicious Filipino foods- Say So Sweets is your spot! Empanadas- I took my friend with me today, and she makes her empanadas from scratch and was impressed with these- she could tell they made their own shells! I had them last week and again today! Mango cookies- oh MY! The mango is sweet enough and these cookies are perfect, not too sweet at all Ube cookies- you guessed it, perfectly balanced, not too sweet! Hawaiian Macaroni Salad- one of the favorites among customers- I ate every bit over 2 days! Strawberry Calamansi Refresher- I know I enjoy this type of citrus drink (from another Filipino shop) and tried theirs- not sugar added and no need with the natural fruit to sweeten it! I loved it and could drink several of these easily! Lumpia- hmmmm, it's been months since I had lumpia that I didn't make myself, and these delivered! I split a small order with my friend and (not that I could eat more) I wanted more! Very few foods tempt me to overeat- and these... I could eat a dozen! I cannot wait to try their pancit, their cinnamon rolls and various other breakfast foods! I am thrilled they are a block away from FSCJ and I need to program their phone number into my phone so I can place orders and grab them to go! Highly recommend!

    I finally made my way over to Say So Sweets last weekend for brunch. I was not prepared for the amount and variety of all the yummy treats that are available to purchase! I decided on the Longsilog platter- two pieces of longanisa (Filipino sweet pork sausage) served with garlic fried rice and a sunny side up egg. It was an absolutely delicious combination of flavors, enhanced even more by the suggested garlic vinegar sauce drizzled on top. I paired my meal with a iced Kona coffee which had a nice sweet flavor without any sweetener added.

    You can taste all the love that Flo and her family put into their food. Whether you order food, sweets or drinks, Say So Sweets hits any craving you can imagine. Our favorite is definitely the spam Musubi and their Kona coffee. If you pay Flo a visit, please tell her Mahalo from me! Instagram: @thegourmetsketch

    Ube cinnamon roll
    Boon C.

    I love this place due to affordable, tasty food, and variety. This is Philipino cuisine's with great selection. It is 4.5 stars, not 5 stars. We got the Tocsilog - sweet cured pork. Savory. This dish serves with sunny side up egg and garlic rice. The garlic rice is ver tasty. Love it. We also got the spam Masubi. Spam with seaweed and sticky rice. For desert, we have ube cinnamon roll. Food are very simple. They also got many types bakery. Appetizers. Under $20 you several dishes with good food.

    Everyone knows that @saysosweets is one of the best places to go to fill that Hawaiian/Filipino-shaped sweet tooth in your mouth. But SaySoSweets is also home to some sensational SaySoSavory dishes too. We stopped by for lunch today and got the Lechon Belly Roll (which, coincidentally was my nickname in high school ). It's like a pork belly doing its best Noel de Busche impression. It's a pork belly rolled and deep fried. The result is tender juicy meat protected by glass-shatteringly crispy skin. It's served with delicious garlic fried rice with a side of obligatory Mang Tomas Lechon Sauce. Go to SaySoSweets for the Sweets, but stay for the Savory.

    Time to do the real review post Elite Event!
    Ron R.

    After the Yelp Soiree Elite event there was no place I was looking forward to visit more than Say So Sweets! I found their cupcakes to be awesome at the Event and wanted to give them a try once again. I found the shop sort of accidentally after church and was convinced to turn my car around to go take a look inside. Though Say So Sweets sells baked goods like its Filipino counterpart, The Baker's Son, it does something that Baker's Son doesn't do - that is, serve breakfast and brunch. Also, this is a small store on the interior like Baker's Son, but unlike Baker's Son, it has seating for those who buy the baked goods and other foodstuffs. I sat down for a few minutes and found the atmosphere cheerful and the customers were enjoying their meals nicely. Courtesy from the employees was outstanding. One of the workers who I met at the Soirée was there and helped us out kindly. I purchased an Aloha Sunrise chiller, chicken siopoa, a Kona Coffee cheesecake, and a mango chiller. Oh! And I cannot forget the red velvet cookie!! Oh my goodness the best one I've ever had! Say So Sweets has been in business at this location for three years and seems to have a pretty solid clientele. Well, they're good - very good! And rightfully earned it. I look forward to getting back there to try the breakfasts soon - and give an update to my review at that time! For now - It's five stars in my book! Take note: Be sure to check out store hours ahead of time before trying to visit. Some days they have shortened hours and on Tuesdays it's closed. Other than that, just visit! You won't be disappointed! Recommend: VERY HIGH

    Mac chicken salad
    Didi N.

    One of the best Filipino/Hawaiian bakeries in the area for sure! The staff are always nice and the shop is very clean, bright, lots of cute decorations, and they now have a small dining area. I personally like the new layout more as the layout before was bit cluttered and chaotic. When I first visited Say So Sweets, they didn't have breakfast/brunch items but now I'm so happy that they are doing well and expanding. I usually get their ube donuts as they are delicious, soft, flavorful, and very light. My husband even got my birthday cake, which was a mango cake here! I love their mango cake as it's like a chiffon cake texture and the filling is made of fresh mangoes with fresh cut mangoes inside and on the cake. I would suggest getting a custom made cake from here! Their cakes are outrageously good. My husband and I decided to stop by for some goodies the other day. We got the following: Coco de pan: It's basically a bun filled will caramelized coconut flakes. It's a 9/10 for me! I love how perfectly baked the buns are and the added sweetness that the coconut flakes brings it all together. I could eat the whole container in one setting. It comes with 4 buns. Hawaiian chicken mac salad: OMG!!! I've tried many mac salad places and this one wins for sure. Their mac salad is probably the best out of L & L and Pokemoto. I was trying so hard not to eat the whole container. The creaminess of the pasta mixed in with chicken is very pleasing on the palette. It reminded me of an excellent tuna salad but made with pasta and chicken instead. The flavors were just WOW!!! I couldn't believe how much I love this pasta. 10/10! Hotdog cheese bun: My husband got this and he enjoyed it very much. So much that he didn't even offer me a bite haha. It's essentially a smoked hotdog wrapped with a fluffy bun with cheese on top. They warm it up for you as requested too! Overall, we plan on coming to this bakery now and then. We live pretty far from it but whenever we are on this side of town, we plan to come for more goodies. We definitely want to try out their breakfast/brunch items like the tocino (marinated pork belly) breakfast dish and also their ube pancakes/waffles!

    My friend brought me here to try some filipino food. She liked this place and wanted to introduce me to it. The place is very nice and clean. Service was amazing. Food was delicious and yummy. Halo-Halo was decent, not as sweet but still good. The longganisa was so good!! One of my favorite of the dishes!

    Say So Sweets did an amazing job bringing my Denim and Diamonds theme cake to fruition The cake was the focal point of the entire evening. Florence is super sweet and amazing with just a few conversations and sharing ideas she made the cake so beautifully. When I went to pick up the cake she had it all packed and brought it out to the car. I LOVED it and so did everyone else that attended the party at @jax_spice party hall. The mango flavor was a huge success. If you need a cake for your next event Florence at @saysosweets is the place to go. You can contact her thru email or her mobile phone. They are located at 11757 Beach Blvd.

    Halo halo & fresh calamansi juice
    Chrystal R.

    My family and I had tried a few items from here when they were still at another local shop nearby. We were excited to see that they'd have their own shop and offer breakfast and lunch as well because.. balance aka all the sweets need balance lol We got 2 different breakfast plates which came with a pinoy protein meat, garlic rice, and an egg. Both were super flavor and filling. We also enjoyed the fresh calamansi juice - this came in big cup which was perfect to share. Now for what we really came for.. the halo halo! My kiddo has been obsessed with wanting to make halo halo at home and since we haven't had time this was such a great treat for us to all share together. The service was wonderful, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance & just how they cared made us feel "right at home". Can't wait to come back and try more of their sweet things

    Chicken Adobo Silog Brunch Platter
    Maya C.

    I. Needed. Breakfast. Delivered. All they typical breakfast places really didn't excite me until I came across the sister store of Mariana's Grinds. I had to get the Ube Waffles. These had a thicker consistency than flour waffles and in my opinion, much tastier. The Chicken Adobo? Magnifique. The rice was seasoned and the fact it's garlic rice makes it all the more better. This mixed with the fried egg and the chicken made for a really good brunch. I was full for most of the day. The Kona Coffee was so good. It was delivered in a to-go coffee cup heavily wrapped in cellophane! Much appreciated so none of the coffee goodness (or heat) escapes. That was a really good meal to start my late morning. Mahalo Say So Sweets!

    Ube swirl bread
    Rachel M.

    The people working here are so sweet. After all, that is their business name. I came here to try their desserts, & bought some to bring home. I bought a chocolate coconut haupia pie, Ube cream whoopie pies, a slice of Ube cake, & a loaf of Ube bread. My favorite were the Ube cream whoopie pies. They came with two. They look like sandwiched cookies with blue cream in the middle. They were small but soft and tasty. The rest of the items were unfortunately bland. I wish they had more flavor. I love anything Ube and the chocolate coconut haupia pie I barely tasted coconut and it tasted like chocolate pudding. Their brunch looks really good in pics. I had come too late for it, so I didn't get to try it. They have different options dessert wise, bread, pie, cookies, cakes, Rice Krispies, desserts they package individually so they can be more portable and on the go.

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.

    There's a great selection of desserts and pastries here; sweet and savory. I've tried many things…read morein many occasion but this particular visit I purchased a puff pastry egg tart, sesame ball, pineapple custard bun and a bbq pork bun.

    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!

Their selections, whether sweet or savory, are always fresh and flavorful. The staff is so polite and informative and just proud of what they do. We go often whether it's from the "Too Good to Go" app or we're just in the area. The interior is clean and vibrant and a perfect cafe style experience if you desire to dine in as well. They offer vegan selections too. If you're anywhere in the vicinity of St Gabriel Bakery, I highly suggest you stop by. You will find something you love.

    I think this is what heaven smells like!…read more Very unassuming storefront in a bit of an industrial neighborhood in the Southside, St. Gabriel Bakery should be a go-to for anyone looking for extremely good pastries, cakes, and breads that give you great value for the price. I was welcomed into the store as soon as I entered. The young man asked if it was my first time at the bakery. Then he took his time to give me a tour of the sweet and savory bakery items that they have on display and taught me how to select items by choosing a basket and a set of tongs for my choices. I purchased a banana muffin, which was almost as big as my fist and still could only eat half of it in a sitting. I also ordered the turkey sandwich on a ciabatta roll, which was just the perfect combination of meat, greens, avocado, and cheese in a beautifully baked roll. Have you ever had a sandwich whose flavors build with every bite? This is truly a unique bakery in Jacksonville, and we should do all that we can to support it. Tell your friends! You won't be disappointed.

We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer, they were phenomenal! Then we both decided on steak for dinner. I got the filet, and ordered it medium rare and it was perfect.

I got the German chocolate cake (this apparently isn't their normal one) and my husband got the dulce cheesecake. The waitress we had was great, and she recommended lots of tips and favorites to try.

I chose a glass of bubbly & the birthday girl had the fizz cocktail. It was incredible with a fresh blackberry puree. We started with the fried green tomatoes & the calamari, both were delicious! Calamari was prepared well and not too chewy. We shockingly each chose a salad: the bistro steak, the chop chop Asian, the goat cheese, and the salmon. Each one was incredible. Mine was the chop chop and I absolutely loved it! It was HUGE and you can bet I ate every single bite. Loved it!' We finished with the brownie topped with ice cream for the birthday girl, it was extremely tasty! Thanks again to Evan for making our night! He was a fantastic waiter!
