    I ordered several dozen cookies for a baby shower with an outer space theme. Amy did a fantastic job! The cookies were in shapes of clouds, moons, stars, etc. They were perfectly chewy and very tasty! I'll be going back! Scones, rum balls, coffee...so many more choices!

    In front -- you're here!

    Oh My Gosh! What a wonderful find! I highly recommend trying out The Lab. Why is it called that you may wonder? Because the owners love to mess with flavors and try new things. Yes, experiment with new things, ideas, etc. If you are thinking it...share it with them because they can create it! With the above said, they really "listen" to what it is you want. So, you ask for that special coffee with this and/or that and no one else can seem to make it due to various reasons...come here! They will listen and they won't be happy until you are happy! And WOW...you've got to try the sweets! We personally love the Pecan Bourbon Balls! Plus, they do custom orders for sweets, cakes, etc. The staff is over-the-top friendly and makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome. The inside is big enough for meetings and gatherings as well. We actually went there with our book club and it was perfect with lots of space left over for another group to meet and then some. There are restrooms available and there is a television. Moreover, since it is located in the Wells Crossing Shopping Center there is plenty of free parking. It is easy to get in and out of too and easy to find. The biggest thing is...the prices! Prices are fair and very good in my opinion. This may just become your new "go-to" place if you live in this area. I know it would be mine if I lived closer, but I'll be back! Please note: They offer a teacher discount on all days and on Tuesdays a 20% discount. I know...wwwhhhaaattt? It's true! So what are you waiting for? Try it already!

    Rum cakes. They also serve rum balls.

    This is a very laid-back coffee shop that is great for people of all ages. I got some smoothies for my kids and an iced chai latte for myself. All were made with love. They have a play area for kids and they are able to enjoy their smoothies and play while I got some work done. Of course I had to take a few sweets to go for dessert later. The bakery specializes in all things run-soaked if that's something you're into!

    Was heading to At Home and decided I needed a coffee so I stopped in at The Lab. I ordered the Pumpkin Spice iced coffee, it was not my favorite. There was a lot of spice and I couldn't taste the pumpkin at all. I asked for almond milk as my cream so maybe that was my mistake. They did have an extensive flavor list so I would go back and try something else but I would definitely not recommend the pumpkin spice. I also ordered a rum cake which was delicious!!!! I highly recommend the rum cake and the other sweets also looked very good! I will be back and will update my review if necessary.

    Pleasantly surprised about my stop at the Lab. As I walked in the place it found it was large and laid out well with counters on the right side and backside. There were 2 people working behind the counter who immediately greeted us and asked us if we had any questions. As I looked around the bakery goods I saw several Rum based items The Rum balls and cakes were in several flavors and they call them Yummies and Rummies.. As I had a party to go to that night I ordered some of the Rum balls in 2 different flavors. I took them to the party that night and they seemed to be a hit Everyone said they could taste the Rum in the chocolate peanut butter right away and they caught the Rum at the end of eating the coconut ones. They also offer customized Rum cakes in several flavors, several glazes and can even add a shot of liquor in them if you would like. I also ordered a Martin's coffee which came perfectly brewed. I had a great conversation with the owner and informed her how Yelp worked and how we love to support new businesses just like hers so stop by grab a coffee and of course. A Rum Ball!

    So much open space 10-2 tops, 5-4 tops and a couch available! Friendly service, the ladies at the counter have a smile on their face and are not faking it. My husband ordered a mocha and a cowboy cookie (coconut macaroon with chocolate chips). Not much in the way of food to eat, some small cake varieties, candy balls, and loaf cake available today. Looks like I won't be frequenting this establishment only because they do not have decaf expresso, I can't drink the full caffeine unfortunately. I did taste my husband's mocha and it's a bold, darker roast expresso which is something we enjoy. They offer almond, oat, vanilla soy as their milk alternatives. Also, spoke with the ladies and they are willing to take custom orders for baked items they don't keep on their menu. Let them know what you're looking for and they will try their best to make what you need. :)

    Bake goods.

    The Lab Bakery and Coffee Bar was a great place to start my day! Service was excellent and the establishment was very clean and welcoming.

    Amazing vibe. Woman working behind the counter was so sweet. She explained the products in great detail and the history of the name. I tried the Banana Iced Latte. Very good. They allowed me to try it and offered to make another if I didn't like it. I also tried the Oreo Butterfinger Rum balls. Rum balls in a variety of flavors are a signature item for them. They are made from scratch.

    Cinnamon roll cake, rum cake and French vanilla latte
    Andrea P.

    As soon as you walk in you get a friendly greeting, the nice lady will tell you all the options you have on coffee and on the bakery, everything fresh, had the original rum cake and cinnamon roll cake it was delicious with an amazing texture, French vanilla latte hit the spot.

    Rum cake

    My husband and I stopped by and ordered coffee, rum balls, and rum cake. These were the best rum balls and rum cake we've ever had. Everything was excellent! We will definitely visit again.

    Great coffee & pastries! Great Joe and biscuits. If tea and Rum balls are more your thing they have those too. Worth your time to go inside and see all the choices.

    Cookies!!!!!

    Locally owned bakery and coffee bar that has THE best rum cakes I've ever had in soooooo many different flavors. They have rum balls, rum cake, and other tasty treats. And the coffee will make you say "Starbucks who?". Support local businesses and give them a try. You won't regret it.

    Yummy warm coffee for a cool morning
    Colleen S.

    Every one working we're so nice and the coffee is strong & yummy!! My first time here and I am just visiting but would definitely recommend the business. I love that their tips go to local charities that the staff picks!!! Plus while I was there there were local merchants selling their hand made products. I off course had to buy some soap!! Support local businesses!! This one I highly recommend!!!

    Our Red Hat chapter decided to try the High Tea for our October 2025 meeting. There were twelve of…read moreus and we were seated at lovely decorated tables. Miss Pat chooses the individual table settings from her vast collection and every place was beautiful. The menu is "set" but they were so nice and accommodated my onion allergy, sometimes by making me a separate dish! This was wonderful! We ate everything that was served with great enjoyment! Miss Pat explained everything as the courses were served--a bit of history and descriptions. I don't think a crumb was left! Then, of course, we took advantage of the many gifts in the shop. Most of us found at least one item to purchase, either for ourselves or for someone special. You cannot go wrong!!!I also purchased my favorite Muffaletta mix because it has no onions in it! Delicious on any type of meat sandwich, or spread on pizza. Thank you to Miss Pat!! (Better hurry and go, though, because this will be her last winter holidays with the shop--she's retiring!!)

    I've always wanted to go to a tearoom and on my birthday this year, decided to try this place out…read more My husband and two other friends joined us and we did not know what to expect walking in. Parking lot is a bit rough as it's not paved but it's fine, there's room for parking. Upon walking in, we were surprised and delighted on how cute this tea room was! There were a lot of trinkets, adorned ornaments, teas, gifts, etc. around the store. We scheduled for noon on a Tuesday and only waited about 5 minutes until we were whisked away to our table. The table set up itself was so delicate, beautiful, and I felt that I should be dressed up like I was going to the Kentucky derby haha. The tea room was clean, bright, and I loved how the area is a little private. We sat down and Ms. Pat helped us right away! Ms. Pat was so pleasant, sweet, and explained all the courses and what we're having. We had the following: Pot of tea: I believe it was an English black tea with some milk and raw brown sugar. You know a tearoom is legit when they have sugar cubes and and cream in a fancy container. I was so wowed the delicate set up of the table. I truly felt like I was having afternoon tea with a member of the royal family. I enjoyed this tea's flavor and Ms. Pat came around and refilled our teacups on a timely basis. I added some cream and two sugar cubes and it was delightful. The tearoom experience comes with 6 courses *with x/10 ratings: 1st Course--Strawberry cold soup, fresh fruit, and jalapeno honey. Ms. Pat told us to pour the jalapeno honey on the fresh fruit for an explosion of flavor. She said the jalapeno honey works really well with the fresh fruit. She was not kidding! That combination might seem weird but it worked perfectly with the acidity of the fruit mixed with the sweetness/spiciness from the jalapeno and honey. The strawberry cold soup was also very fruity, fresh, and light. It reminded me of eating freshly pureed strawberries with yogurt! The fruits ((berries and pineapple) were also fresh and you could tell in each bite. We also had some pita dippers with some brie/jam! The brie combined with the jelly on top of the pita chip, was one of the best bites ever! 9/10 for sure! 2nd Course - Veggie tray. It consisted of fresh heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, and carrots with a side of homemaker buttermilk ranch. the veggies were fresh as well and I felt each snap or crunch every time I took a bite of a veggie. The ranch was good too! It went so well with the veggies. . 7/10 3rd Course - Ms. Pat likes to call this course a spinoff on "Fish and Chips". We had homemade kettle chips to go along with a curried fish dip and peach salsa. The chips were crunchy, crispy, and flavorful and the dip and salsa went extremely well the chips. No complaints here! The real show as the fish dip and we found ourselves wanting more of it. Then came the deviled eggs. They were so creamy, flavorful, and soft. I wanted to take the whole tray with me!! I love eggs and here, they know how to do their deviled eggs! I would come back just for the eggs haha 8.5/10 4th Course - Fancy Assortment of Tea Sandwiches: Lettuce sandwich with pickled veggies, cucumber sandwiches, pumpkin-butter & sliced apple on pecan-dipped cinnamon-raisin bread, and some chicken salad cups. The sandwiches blew my mind away! The sandwiches were small but packed a huge flavor! I love how the crusts were cut off too! 8.5/10 5th Course - Scones, the scones are warm, fresh, and came with a cream. It was so good!!! The scone melted in my mouth! it was probably one of the softest and fluffiest scones I've ever had. When you combined the cream on top oft he scone, it elevated the fruits in the scones some more. The scone was blueberry one I believe. 8/10 6th Course - Then came the dessert tarts, dark chocolate covered strawberries, nuts, and some type of petit four dessert. We were pretty full by then (can you believe it haha?) but agreed that the desserts were divine. The dark chocolate covered strawberry was so fresh and I love that they used dark chocolate so it wasn't too sweet. Chocolate and fruit always work so well together! 8.5/10 Overall, I would come here again probably only for a special occasion or here and there. It's a little pricier at $44 a person (but so worth the experience!) and keep in mind that they do charge an extra $20 if you add a birthday cake for the occasion. The cake was so beautiful and I loved that Ms. Pat even celebrated with us! Overall, such a wonderful and pleasant experience with Ms. Pat and we hope to come back again!!!

I've been to this location a couple of times and the location is very convenient if you're in the OP area and heading out. The drive-thru is very efficient and the customer service is always fast and friendly. They have a little trivia question at the window that you can think about while you wait. Very chill and casual drive-thru experience and, hey, I learned a bit of interesting information for the day. I actually guessed correctly with the trivia question and was very amused. Lol.

Well, then came Scooters Orange Park! It came to the mound on this day and it actually threw me a vicious change up I couldn't resist! At first, when I drove up to the drive thru menu, I actually ordered my usual white mocha latte blended version with whipped cream! But as I looked further, right next to it is a sign that lists the Scooter baristas favorites. I was quickly drawn to the two that had a white chocolate foundation and put a stop the presses on my original order! I saw one that was a white chocolate foundation latte, coconut (syrup), plus an extra shot of espresso - order changed! Whether dark or white chocolate, I'm always going to get a latte like this with coconut if a coffee shop offers it! Yes, I got the whipped cream too! In honesty, this stop was greatly necessitated after a medical procedure I experienced previously down the road that kind of shook me up a little bit. Yes, it turned out well, but I needed recovery and this Orange Park Scooters hit a home run on this day! The blend was perfect, along with the taste. The extra espresso shot is necessary because this is super sweetened beverage. But oh my is it a great one! I get to come back in the near future and get another one too! This Scooters shop is in a great location, right at the crossing of I-295 and Park/Roosevelt Avenues. Coming up Park Avenue, it's easy to drive in get your beverage. Just make a right turn out of the lot and you're virtually at the highway entrance either direction. This coffee shop looks great from exterior on both sides. And the spacing of the drive thru and parking spaces is easy to navigate. The baristas are enthusiastic! And gave me a spectacular and creative beverage on a morning I really needed something to pick me up! Great job Orange Park Scooters! Looking forward to my next visit! Recommend: VERY HIGH (Don't be afraid to try the Barista Favorites!)

Which is frustrating, specially when you've been craving something specific from them. I've ordered from the kiosk and an actual person before and the order ends up being wrong. Ever since new ownership took over, I feel like the quality of this place has gone down. Or at least the quality of the food has gone down. The shredded turkey isn't even the same anymore. sliced turkey is no longer the same, you can tell it is from a packaged brand, the one that they use now definitely changes the flavor of the bagel XL. The other day I ordered a bagel XL with sliced turkey, egg,cheese, and cream cheese,l and when I got home it wasn't the sliced turkey but the turkey patty. When I I got home I called them and advised them it was the wrong order. They said to bring it back, and they would make the right one, which they did. But driving back and forth 15 mins each way to go pick it up and exchange it because they wrong is a bit of hassle. Also, it seems like their ordering system is also always printing out the wrong order. And then a few days later I placed an order for delivery and the drink was wrong. I had ordered the peach drink and I got some berry one. I also order a plain bagel with cream cheese for someone and it barely had any cream cheese.
