I decided on the apple butter latte, roommate got the pumpkin chai. They were both really good drinks. TBH the latte wasn't as sweet as I was expecting but it was still tasty as the espresso tasted delicious. I also bought a matcha chocolate chip cookie which was heavy on the matcha flavor which I enjoyed. The ambiance was really comforting and cozy. Something about the lighting made it feel that way. It's almost decorated like someone's nice living room. It just felt good and I immediately thought about how my other coffee loving friend needs to come here. They also have a rewards system where you can get 5 dollars off for your birthday which is pretty sweet. Ok thanks for reading this, highly recommend!!

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars because the staff was that good. From the second I…read morewalked in, everyone was genuinely friendly and made me feel right at home. The coffee was really good too, and I loved how creative the menu was. They definitely have some fun drinks you don't see everywhere. The food, though... it was just okay. Not bad by any means, but it didn't really match how much I enjoyed everything else. I had a muffin that looked amazing but tasted a little underwhelming. The inside is a vibe. Plenty of seating whether you're meeting up with friends, knocking out some work, or just enjoying a coffee by yourself. I'd absolutely come back for the coffee and the atmosphere. If the food stepped up a notch, this would easily be a 5-star.

Amazing bagels! As someone from Long Island, who grew up on "Bagel Boss", these are the real deal…read more The bagels are Slightly crisp, shiny exterior, not hard or crunchy, just a thin chewable crust. Dense but not heavy Chewy texture -this is probably the hallmark of a good New York bagel. You should have to work for the bite a little.

Four of them could not even go into the toaster if I wanted them too. The bagels are fantastic, but they're cutting skills Are severely lacking if you want to toast a bagel. If you just want pieces of a bagel then you're set. This by far is the best bagel place in Northeast Florida! It is truly difficult to find a decent bagel around Jacksonville and Saint Augustine however, this is a true local owned gem! The bagels are prepared fresh with a variety of flavors including ghost pepper bagel (not something I'm brave enough to try. They had ample pumpernickel bagel, which is one of my favorites and they will cut them through a machine for free. The customer service is outstanding. I was greeted with a smile and she was very patient as I was selecting the bagels. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and inviting and has a small hint of a New York deli. Even though it's a bit of a drive, it was worth every single mile! Between the outstanding bagels and the customer service you cannot go wrong here.

My husband and I decided to 'try somewhere different' for a rare lunch date. We googled…read more'restaurants near me' and found Cafe Cairano. Thinking it was a hidden gem because we had never heard of it, we gave it a try. Sadly, it wasn't all we expected it to be. Once we found it hidden in the back of a small shopping center in World Golf Village, we went inside to an empty restaurant at what should've been a bustling lunchtime crowd. The restaurant had all of two employees working. The cashier/waitress asked us to seat ourselves and she brought us the menus. 5, yes FIVE, different things that we attempted to order were out of stock! How do you run a restaurant when 5 staple items are out of stock.... Hamburger patties, bacon, onion rings, and all fountain drinks including coke & dr. Pepper???? It quickly became obvious why the entire restaurant was empty! After we made alternative choices from the menu and received our meals, the waitress spent the entire time we were in her presence talking in the phone and to someone who seemed to be a regular patron that had come in after us to pick up a to-go order. I heard her say that 'today is my last day because I'm moving.' After hearing that, it made sense as to why she never came back to our table to see if we needed anything. We even had to request she bring our check so that we could pay the bill and leave. She was 'too busy' to notice we were finished & waiting.... The food that we got wasn't horrible.... Too bad the service wasn't that great. We most certainly did NOT receive a good first impression and likely won't give it a second try!

The cashiers were busy fixing the register tape. No greeting from either of them but I could tell they were busy. I reviewed the menu but knew what I wanted at a glance. I got a Chai tea latte with an apple Danish. I'm headed to work and make the mornings great. They take their time in greetings but no worries. I know the Chai will be awesome! Kinder Kafe is very slow pace and it is great to see them take there time to make what you want. In between customers, the owners were cleaning the tables. 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 options available at Parlour looked so festive and the Christmas Cookie Latte I ordered was delicious. The cookie crumble, sprinkle, and whipped cream topping was the perfect touch. The seasonal doughnuts are also a winter treat, I had the cinnamon swirl and loved it. The whipped topping was creamy without being too rich. Would like to see a little more variety to their Holiday options, but still good. Like all of their doughnuts, the croissant like texture is delightful. I've only been to the Fleming Island location before visiting this store, this one is just as good! The employee up front was really friendly and attentive, he made sure to welcome everyone who stepped in. Plenty of seating inside, clean, and a worthwhile stop.

They were still warm when I got home. The turnovers were delicious. Very buttery with the perfect amount of guava paste. I usually go to a location a few times before reviewing the restaurant but the turnovers were so good I'm reviewing them after 1 taste. I highly recommend plus It's closer then going to Miami or taking a cruise to get these delicious goodies. I can't wait to dive into the menu next. The location was spotlessly clean and the employee who helped me could not have been nicer or more pleasant. Great place so far.
