Upon entering, we were cordially received by a helpful lady who gladly offered us samples of their delectable gelato flavors. After some deliberation, I opted for a small cup of peanut butter chocolate mixed with hazelnut gelato that was both sweet and satisfying, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite while relaxing in the charming atmosphere outside. There were also so many different categories of treats from popcorn, to hand dipped to assortments milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white, chocolate, and baskets full of goodies. Definitely a return visit in the near future.

Peterbrooke Chocolatier of Durbin Park is the epicenter of all things chocolate. Plus they have…read moregelatos too. I have stopped by twice and have received excellent service on both occasions. But not too pushy so you can browse through all of the marvelous products. On my last visit I was purchasing some Christmas gifts. And of course I had to buy something for myself LOL. But I was surprised to find sugar free chocolate. I purchased two products because I was curious. I tried the peppermint patties and the chocolate-covered caramel. Both were made with dark chocolate and both were fabulous! I purchased a few chocolate bombs for my friends and they loved them. You can find a variety of items here that you can't find in a grocery or drug store. Plus all of chocolate is made in house. I also sampled a few ice cream flavors and they were yummy. The ice cream is made specifically for Peterbrooke in Jacksonville. Stop by and check out the newest chocolatier in town!

We had heard not such great things about the Peach Cobbler Factory, so our expectations were very…read morelow when we arrived. We ordered three cobblers - original peach cobbler, peach cobbler with pralines, and an apple cobbler. We also got an order of churros and we sampled some of the banana pudding. The banana pudding was definitely not what we were expecting. It was quite bland and even when we asked for samples of the double chocolate one and red velvet one, there was no real flavor. The churros also interestingly enough had a very strange taste. They were not great. The peach cobbler however was excellent. The peaches were soft, the crust was substantial, and there was a good amount of cinnamon and praline in the specialty one. The caramel apple cobbler was also delicious despite lackijg in caramel flavor. What was disappointing was the cheap ice cream containers that they gave us to go with the cobbler as two of the three had old ice cream in them. Overall, I would get the cobbler again but not the churros or banana pudding and I would skip the ice cream unless they have improved the quality of it.

It's exactly what i wanted ! A warm gooey peachy cinnamony treat. This cinnamon roll was loaded up…read morewith cobbler and icing! Love the little bit of crunch from the praline. Walking in was like standing in front of the oven while you've got some cobbler cooking. It's so warm and smells so sweet! The gentleman that took care of us was very kind! We knew what we wanted to order prior to our visit (it was something we were looking forward to!) and didn't have to wait much longer after ordering! So cute inside but we decided to enjoy our sweets outside at one of the tables. Definitely can't wait to try something else !

OMG Cotton Candy also sells 42 flavors of popsicles and was known as Popsicle City before a name change in April 2025.

I loved the variety in flavors and healthy ingredients! A must place to visit on a warm day!read more

The atmosphere grabs you and pulls you into this 90s punk ice cream shop and begs you to sing along…read moreto all the fave hits you watched on MTV before they stopped playing music videos. Accept your fate: you will overdose on sugar and walk away craving your next visit. When I visited, this shop was run by a one man show. You might want to avoid high traffic times if you're fiending. Friendly service, of course! Take your pick of the non-standard mix-ins or try one of their carefully curated and deliciously crafted desserts. There's also plenty of space to sit and eat but we took our treats to go.

We recently enjoyed trying out Goonsquad Ice Cream for the first time…read more It came recommended to us from some friends, as they knew we enjoyed some variety in our ice cream, toppings, and mix-ins, and Goonsquad did not disappoint! We really enjoyed the menu, which was not only large and had pre-made options, but also allows you to create your own sundaes. There were plenty of mix-ins & toppings, and the price was reasonable. You'll definitely enjoy their ice cream

I would definitely recommend this particular location.

The thing about the Fresh Market...It never disappoints. If you're a fan of the holidays or…read moreliterally ANY other occasion like I am (Its September 3rd and I'm already thinking of this year's Christmas tree theme), then you NEED this store in your life. Hear me out... Aesthetically The Fresh Market blows any other grocery store out of the water...sorry Publix...still love you, though. Each department is well appointed and adequately spaced to give the shopper a veritable "feast for the eyes" experience. The Deli and Meat/Seafood counters are waiting to lure you in as you browse the eye-catching offerings of the day. Whether it's a meal for two or a party for a small village, they've got you covered. My absolute favorite...my precious...my weakness...is the bakery. I could write a book or work as a tour guide by now. The dessert case alone is a visual masterpiece, full of mouthwatering cakes, tarts, pies, and that's just the beginning. A hearty variety of fresh breads, pastries, and other dessert options (yessss, gluten free included) will tempt even the most unwavering of Keto clientele. The list of my "must-haves," especially holiday selections, is too long, so I won't give you the full encyclopedia, but I WILL say that the Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake slice that I took home today was DIVINE. That streusel topping? *chefs kiss* If you have yet to treat yourself to a legendary shopping experience at The Fresh Market, then this location in the heart of St. Johns County would be an excellent choice. Take it from a self-appointed pro... keep your head on a swivel as you walk the salesfloor, there's a treasure trove of different seasonal snacks and goodies that you probably haven't tried before, but you'll definitely want to. Shoutout to the staff, especially the awesome ladies at the bakery who wait ever so patiently as I struggle to pick JUST ONE THING. Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, thanks for reading, and as always...SYOY!
