When our sweet tooth kicked in, we knew we had to visit Peterbook Chocolatier at the Durban…read morePavilion, a cozy small business owned by the Aballa family, which we highly support. 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!

Five stars doesn't even come close to describing this wonderful bakery experience…read more I am from a large family who love to gather over food and fun. The first time we had a cake from Creme de la Cocoa, it was lemon blueberry for my Mom's birthday. From then on, "good enough" wouldn't do. The cakes from this boutique bakery are exquisite works of art that taste absolutely divine. We've had vanilla cake with white chocolate between the layers and fresh strawberries for Easter, exquisitely decorated with whipped cream frosting and fresh spring flowers, a birthday cake for my mother that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY HURRICANE PEGGY with a hurricane and warning markers bc her birthday is the first day of hurricane season that was Florida Native, featuring summer fruits and orange zest in the frosting, and the latest for Labor Day that will be a classic carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and Fall decor that will say HAPPY FALL, Y'ALL! We've had their French macarons in every color and flavor, their charcuterie box for my husband's birthday which featured sweets of every kind in white and dark chocolate, and their homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. All were exceptional tasting and beautiful in their artistry. Creme de la Cocoa is where perfection in design and flavor are an every day adventure. And the customer comes second only to the quality of their decadent delights.

My bf and I stopped at Crème de la Cocoa for an after lunch snack. It was highly rated and I'm so…read moreglad we did!! We each ordered a Chocolate Chip cookie sandwiched with chocolate buttercream, along with a chocolate and praline cake that we split. Everything was delicious! I loved both desserts! The chocolate and praline cake was definitely the winner. The place itself is lovely and has a beautiful atmosphere, making it a nice spot to stop in for something sweet. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the service. It was average, and for me, personality and a warm greeting really make a difference in the overall experience. The desserts were wonderful, but I would have loved a little more warmth and friendliness from the staff!

Whatever you can think of in a chocolate world you can find here. They though of every possible chocolate presentation, creating all kind of "chocolate gift-thing" that you can imagine it could exist. The ambiance is made for groumet chocolatiers, just like me, ‍. They have a wall of shelves with chocolate's arrangements for any ocassion, and they really thought of all of them, creating beautiful, elegants art-baskets or boxes for every excuse you have to celebrate with chocolate. The people here are very professional and kind, and also they offer another alternative cure for sadness, a great gelato, mango and banana praline were my healing session today.

Nice that they use iPads for their menu so you get color pictures and a description of each dish. As usual, we over ordered. But as we see it... Now we have leftovers for another meal. The Butter Chicken was great as so was the Saag. We also like the Biryani with shrimp and veggies. That also comes with a minty sauce. Overall, another delicious meal.

We ordered the brookie, raspberry toaster tart, cookies n creme, and parent trap. All were very tasty. My favorites were the cookies n creme and parent trap. I cut each cookie into 4 pieces and froze the leftovers. We enjoyed them over the next several weeks. They are definitely sugary sweet and might not be for everyone but we enjoyed them. If given the chance, I would pay them another visit.

We all love cookies. But super-stuffed cookies brings cookies to another level and that's where…read moreDirty Dough comes in. Dirty Dough is less than a week new located inside Durbin Pavilion in Saint Johns county. They opened shop on Wednesday; Juneteenth (June 19th), specializing in stuffed cookies. Walking inside slaps your nostrils of the aroma of freshly baked cookies. And despite being days new, the staff were nice and attentive. Looking at the menu, we went with the 4-Box Sampler, which is Caramelita, Stuffed Chocolate Chip, Cookies n Creme and The Reverse. But, I was actually feening for a milkshake which they happen to have. My eyes were drawn to their Dirty Shake, which gives you the ice cream choice option of Vanilla or Chocolate base layer. Also you have a cookie of choice that gets blended into the shake. My shake consisted of chocolate ice cream blended with stuffed chocolate chip. The shake was $5.99 total. If you give it a thought, a single cookie cost $4.55 each. So basically the shake cost $1.44 before a cookie is added. Winner, winner... yes I had a milkshake as my dinner. What I like is the shake was not overly sweet. "Their Milkshakes brought this Yelper to their yard" #IYKYK I just found a new favorite cookie/dessert place. And stay tuned folks, their Dirty Sodas as well as Coffees will also be available soon.
