    Boston cream and apple stick fritter
    Jerrica C.

    Now listen, do I want to gate keep this place? Yes. Do I want to keep this gem to myself? Yes. But I've been doing that for the last 6 years so I'll spill the beans and let you know how incredible this place is. This place from the outside looks like nothing special, but the inside is filled with some wonderful people who work there and small shop feel. Ok all donuts are to die for. The apple fritter, Boston cream and cinnamon roll are my favs, but let me tell you; the sausage, egg and cheese BAGEL is where it's at. The bagel is the softest! The secret is to get there early when the donuts are hot and fresh. We need to keep special shops like this open with our business and stop going to the chain nasty donut shops.

    Everything bagel
    Vanessa B.

    Java Express has really really good donuts and great bagels. Their sprinkle donuts aren't for me though as they use nonpareil sprinkles instead of the jimmies kind, but other than that the donuts are light and fluffy, perfectly made. Their everything bagel with plain cream cheese is also excellent. It was missing caraway seeds (the seasoning on the bagel), but that's a rarity to find. Highly recommended!!

    Jelly Stick, Sour Cream Doughnut, Boston Cream
    Devin G.

    People have been recommending Java Express to me for years but for some reason I never went. Wow, have I been missing out! My favorite was their Boston Cream which was surprisingly light and just the right amount of sweet. I was super impressed with the texture of their Sour Cream doughnut and they may be the best I've ever had. My Dad's favorite has always been Jelly sticks and those were amazing as well. This location had a sweet small town vibe. It seemed like the customers there knew each other or were regulars. It made me enjoy my wait in line.

    The most amazing apple fritter you'll ever eat.

    Just right amount of crunch and inside softness to make perfect fritter. Then add a generous amount of sweet apple pie filling to make the perfect apple fritter. Also had their double chocolate and maple glazed. So so good. The perfect casual dive for a donut (and they sell coffee too). Service was worth the wait (it's popular)! Check the times they close though. It closes at 2pm this week (around Christmas).

    Hot fresh yummy doughnuts that melt in your mouth. Great customer service and reasonably price it cost 11.50 1/2 dozen. Would definitely be back.

    Heavenly Cream donut

    Service was great they where very kind the sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel was amazing it's fluffy and soft great texture it isn't like Dunkin's where when you take a bight you need to really chew the bagel it was very well seasoned The heavenly cream was a bit too sweet not for your Average Boston cream fan The jelly donut was really good you could tell that the jelly filling inside was made from actually strawberries. The ambience of the place was very nice it felt comfortable and relaxing definitely a great place to take some time to breathe!

    I have lived in Daytona for many years, and have passed this place for many years... I should've been stoned, because oh my God I was missing out. Their donuts are to die for always fresh. Always delicious. The customer service is always amazing. Also they're freshly made pastries, and muffins, they are like no other. I love them more than the popular grocery store with the best chicken in the world. . Please if you have not visited Them go by the breakfast sandwiches the homemade bagels the homemade donuts, the Java the smoothies. Literally everything is amazing.

    Glazed donut and a coconut cream. Yummy

    This is my go-to coffee shop. Try the sausage egg and cheese on a bagel; it's amazing. The coffee is also very good. 5 star.

The new owners immediately made facility changes that vastly improved the look and feel of the shop. Not only new flooring, but the display cases, reach-in coolers, furnishings and other customer comforts. They "tidied up" the place and fixed stuff - exactly what was needed. They also expanded the existing menu without taking a blow torch to it. From my interactions with the staff, it was pretty obvious the owners were wanting to learn more about downtown Daytona, their legacy customers, and the changing market. Changes they made were mostly tweaks, all seeming to be received positively. Since the new year, it's obvious Serra Doce is leveraging all they've learned and have made major changes and improvements. They seem all in. There is now a brunch and à la cart breakfast and amazing sandwiches, pastries and fresh fruit offerings. Truly, Serra Doce has retained the best of why I've always enjoyed my coffees at this location, and expanded my choices with really amazing food offerings. The service is great. It's tough to keep staff these days, and like any regular place I go to, I do see new faces. But old ones too. All of my interactions have always been wonderful. It's why I come back. And it's still an affordable spot and, MOST IMPORTANTLY dog friendly and welcoming.

    Cafe Con Leche -- ABSOLUTE WOW…read more Okay... this place is AWESOME. Like already thinking about when I can go back awesome. I had the chorizo tacos....bold, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and honestly mouth-watering. He ordered the burrito, which came with crispy home fries, and we added a side of rice and beans to share (which was 100% the right call). Then came the pièce de résistance... Banana tres leches Holy. Smokes. Melt-in-your-mouth, not-too-sweet, rich without being heavy. The kind of dessert where conversation pauses because everyone is busy having a moment. The vibe: Not fancy. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and the magic happens. The people are so kind, the food comes out with love, and it feels authentic in the best possible way. Bottom line: Comforting, flavorful, crave-worthy food made by genuinely nice people. I'm already craving it again... and that says everything. This is the kind of place you tell your friends about...then bring them with you next time.

Prices were pretty good and you get what you pay for. We loved our sandwiches and could only eat about 3/4 as they were pretty big. Just loved this place and all of the locals said that this was THE place to go. They were right. The owner going around asking if we needed anything was the icing on the cake.

Well - that's exactly what we encountered! This place is also a bakery with some fabulous looking desserts as well as an Italian grocer. We did have to wait for our sandwiches and there was no room to sit so we took our sandwiches and ate in the car. The 8" sandwiches were so hearty that we ate half for lunch and polished off the other half for dinner. So very good!
