Everyone was far too busy enjoying their food to talk! I don't usually choose ham, but I love pepper jelly, so I couldn't resist the ham and pepper jelly, grilled cheese, bacony delight. It was AMAZING. I had it on multigrain bread which was a great choice. This is a sandwich I'm going to crave, and I can't wait to be back in the area to check out some other items to go with this killer sandwich.

Really a charming place. The interior is vibrant and colored in bright pastels with really elegant, but simple, lighting. It smells great inside as well, like lavender and flowers. Really nicely done design. The service matches. They were excited for us to stop in, welcomed others that seemed to be regulars (we will be as well), and were just a pleasure to be around. I chose the carrot cake. I love carrot cake, whenever I stop by BBs, Biscotti's or European Street Cafe, I'll order carrot cake. It's pretty solid at all three places. The carrot cake I had today, is immensely better than any I've had prior. The cake was so moist. The flavors blended together perfectly, the icing so silky and rich. It was next truly next level and I can't wait to try other cake. Everything I've sampled here is very good. This carrot cake was immaculate. If you're looking for a good bakery on the west side or any side of Jacksonville for that matter, try Sweet Girl's Bakery. Just awesome!!!

Unfortunately wasn't too impressed with this first time visit. Cookies tasted older maybe because I…read morecame later in the evening but they didn't taste fresh, soft nor chewy. Not the best I have ever had. Additionally we were charged a 3% surcharge on our card and I really wish this was disclosed. If it is, we did not see a sign at check out.

My server…read moreEmily was wonderful, she was attentive, expressive and impressively insightful about the menu selections and tailored options for her guests. This place is well run, with women servers on a mission for excellence: people are seated promptly and are seen by their server quickly. Here are some things that I noticed about this place: -the family bathroom was clean, well-lit, and (thank god) did feature a coat rack! *this is important for purses*, changing station, and railing on the door and walls to assist our friends who need extra support. -the grits were HOT, buttered and delicious, very simple recipe with cheddar cheese and my addition of salt & pepper, best restaurant grits ever (and I'm generally underwhelmed by grits from every restaurant) -I was able to sub turkey sausage for my topping in the Secret Bene dish was met with a smile and agreeance. No pork on this fork -if you want to dine with ease, come here the seating in the general dining area is built for tables of 2-4 patrons, semi-closely spaced but the larger tabletops are sequestered into their own section. This seating plans allows for smaller parties to be tended to quickly and redirects the noise and collaboration needed to tend to a larger table top away from others' dining experience. I am delightfully pleased to say that they need to bring back this classic American dining practice of partitioning of space for a larger tables. I remember this in restaurants like ihop and TGI Fridays from back in the day, it does make a difference. -the silverware was clean, very clean place. Thank you SGC!

The melt was decent and I'll circle back to it eventually but I'll try something else next time because I remember loving their breakfast options last time we were here. I LOVED the kettle chips and would get them as a side with anything else. Lauren had the Morning Grab Sandwhich. She picked sausage patties. She could get her egg done however she wanted so she picked fried hard. She could pick cheese as well so she picked American. She liked how buttery the croissant was and said it held up fairly well to the main ingredients. She really liked the breakfast potatoes for her side and said she'd order them every time. This is a cute little place and it's been too long since we stopped in. Emilie was a great server and she happened to be the same person who waited on us the last time we were here, well over a year ago!

It was really good and full of flavor. Definitely recommend this if you are undecided on what to order! I also ordered a side order of the Smash Browns. They were good was well. Everything was nice and clean! The only negative thing I have to say; the restaurant music and the cooks music was not the same. Their music was very loud and it was the "screaming heavy metal" type. It was over powering the music that was playing directly above us. Don't get me wrong; it's not about the type of music playing but the volume of it vs what was in the sit down area. I really think the workers knew about because they were out there wiping tables and cleaning so they must've had to hear it. Other than that food was great.

We shared a plate of the bacon tacos because we wanted a snack, not a meal. Carl says his coffee is bitter. I made his cup 3/4 bold 1/4 light. He added a lot of sugar. I felt the tacos were ok. Nothing special. The salsa seemed flavorless. I mixed it with sour cream and Tabasco sriracha and that was a tasty mix. Tortillas were soft - just right to keep all the contents inside. I'd put a little crisp on the tortilla and melt the cheese to it to elevate these to something worth having on the menu. Bathroom was well stocked and acceptably clean. I wish businesses would pay more attention to wiping down soap dispensers and door. Service was fast and friendly. Business was clean and quiet.

The Strawberry Crumble donut was the only donut we tried, and it was pretty good, but I'd guess I slightly prefer the (excellent) Krispy Kremes. Our beef (hot dog) kolache was nice, but I don't think it was a great example of type. I've never tried a kolache before, but I can say the hot dog croissant I had at Cruffin & Tea a while back was much better, including the quality of the hot dog. Apple fritters are a favorite, but theirs was enormous, so we couldn't try many things here if we got that, so we saved it for a future visit. The owner also said the cinnamon roll were good, and that's another favorite to try on a future visit. They also had lumpia on this Saturday, but were out of empanadas by the time we got there after noon. Prices were reasonable: $10.81 with tax for the three items. I'd like to try this place again.

Service was quick, we waited maybe not quite 10 Minutes to get all of our food. We ordered the cinnamon roll, French toast and the avocado toast to share and try different things.

Cinnamon roll was our dessert and while we probably shouldn't have eaten the whole thing, we managed not to let any go to waste. The strawberry matcha was perfect. It actually tasted like Matcha and not overly heavy on the milk side. Will have to return to try other items on the menu. Everything presented so beautifully.

Sooo so good, I can easily see this place becoming one of my favorite cafes!…read more I came here to do some work while also trying this cafe out, and I will say it's maybe not the best place for that. The wifi is pretty good, but not really any outlets. And the individual tables are on the smaller side, so it may be kind of difficult if you're trying to order a meal alongside all your stuff. And it can get pretty loud inside, which isn't really conducive if you need to concentrate. That being said, everything I tried was so delicious! I loved the prosciutto toast, it was loaded up with toppings. And it really touched on every flavor profile. The croissant was also so so delicious. Even being later in the day, it wasn't stale or anything. Still super buttery and flaky, the strawberries were sweet and juicy. And the cream was really flavorful without being too sweet. The London fog was also really good, but I did find myself wishing it was a little stronger. The prices kind of surprised me tbh. The drinks were pretty cheap compared to what most places offer these days. And the food was pastries were on the pricier side. I guess it evens out in the end. But also the portions are pretty big, so I wasn't too mad about it.
