From the moment we laid eyes on the pastry case, our jaws were on the floor. Everything we had was amazing -- the breakfast sandwich on sourdough, ham & cheese croissant, matcha cheesecake blueberry croissant tart, and the brie country ham & hot honey galette. JUST WOW! We also got some lattes to fuel our morning and I opted for their special brown butter sesame latte -- yum! The bakery itself is very cute with some market and pantry items available to shop as well. The staff was very patient as we asked a million questions about all the pastries before making our selections. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the downtown Jax area!

Yes to all the carbs in this bakehouse!…read more I was in town for a work event and we decided to grab a bite from here since Gabi recommended. It DID NOT disappoint. A cute little spot with a lot of specialized baked goods that will make you want to get one of everything. The service was super friendly and helpful. We ended up getting a few of the baked goods to share for breakfast and I got the matcha lemonade. The lemonade was a good change of pace from my usual matcha latte. To share, we got the matcha cheesecake blueberries danish, the brie country ham and hot honey galette, and a ham and cheese croissant. Everything was delicious and devoured! The inside is also super cute to peruse around and maybe grab something. They have stickers, and a few odds and ends that might interest anyone to get at least one thing. Such a cute bakehouse in Jax!

It was pretty slammed when I was there so the employees were in the weeds for sure. But I was happy with my espresso. The location is right in the 5 points area so the walk factor is legit. The seating outside is probably my favorite part. Who doesn't like sitting on picnic tables in the end right.

While enjoying a weekend getaway in Jacksonville, we happened upon Uptown Kitchen & Bar--and it…read moreturned out to be a great find! We ordered the shrimp and gouda grits, fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, and a couple of brunch cocktails. The shrimp and grits were beautifully presented, creamy, flavorful, and covered in a rich sauce that brought everything together. The fried appetizers were golden, crispy, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauces. Our cocktails were just as enjoyable--colorful, refreshing, and the perfect addition to brunch. Uptown Kitchen & Bar was a delicious surprise during our getaway. If you're in Jacksonville and looking for a good brunch spot with flavorful food and fun drinks, it's definitely worth stopping by!

We came here on Sunday July 26th and there was a 25 minute wait which wasn't bad because it was jam…read morepacked inside. We thought for sure they would make us sit outside in that heat but we got a decent table inside towards middle. We arrived there about 11:40am and table was ready at noon we sat at the table after host seated us for 40 mins before even being offered water or anything. Our waiter (Nicole). Came to table when we first arrived just to tell us she would be with us shortly just for us to wait almost an hour. ATP we are starved and super thirsty. 12:38 she came to table to say "I'll be wit y'all in a few" and looked back to see the table behind us was her table too but came after us. So she finally took our order after realizing we were still waiting patiently. The food came out within 15-18 mins and was fresh. We had no complaints on the food at all other than my grits was a little lumpy. But still a great flavor. Everytime our waiter came back she seemed to be irritated or frustrated, but you shouldn't take that out on the customers specifically ones who have been nothing but kind. After we finished eating she brung a payment book with one receipt and said "is it ok that it's all on one receipt?" But it was more like she was telling us and didn't ask before hand and didn't even let us answer. She sat the receipt down and just walked out as we were answering. We planned to have 3 different checks because we were going separate ways. I called the manager over and he fixed it immediately and apologized for that. Some people just don't need to work in customer service. I get people have bad days but that was a bad experience for our first time there. Everyone else was super sweet except her. Atleast our food was good. Her customer service is definitely a 4/10. Even the table behind us was upset and requested a refund on the food. I would definitely go back just wouldn't want her as a server!

Huge portions and the best Cuban in Jax!…read more Blue Boy Sandwich in Jacksonville has the best Cuban sandwich I've found in the city, and I've been looking. What we got: Cuban Sandwich: Everything you want in a Cuban is here. The bread is pressed and toasty with a nice crunch on the outside and soft on the inside, and the layers of roasted pork, ham, Swiss, and pickles are perfectly balanced. Every bite is savory, tangy, and satisfying. Fried Oreos: Soooo good! And the portion is HUGE. I'm not exaggerating when I say you get your money's worth. It's generously stacked, filling, and easily one of the biggest sandwiches I've had. Come hungry, or plan on saving half for later (though you probably won't want to). The quality matches the size, too. Nothing feels skimped on or thrown together. It tastes like a sandwich made by people who know what a Cuban should be. If you're in Jacksonville and craving a real Cuban, this is your spot. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Tip: Go hungry, because the sandwich is bigger than it looks!

Some restaurants survive for decades because of nostalgia. Others survive because they continue…read moremaking food worth coming back for. Blue Boy Sandwich Shop has been doing both since 1962. I stopped by for lunch after being invited to try their Cuban sandwich, a fitting challenge for a shop that has built its reputation on oversized portions and doing things the old fashioned way. The bread is baked in house, the mojo marinade is made from scratch, and that attention to detail shows up in every bite. Calling this sandwich "large" doesn't quite capture it. It's enormous. Thick enough to make you question your strategy before the first bite, and easily enough food for two, maybe even four lighter eaters. Inside the soft house-made bread is a generous stack of mojo marinated pulled pork, thick slices of ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. It's substantial without feeling sloppy, every ingredient has a purpose. The timing of this visit couldn't have been better. I had just returned from two weeks in Miami, where Cuban sandwiches and Medianoches were part of my regular diet. Those flavors were still fresh in my memory. Blue Boy isn't trying to recreate Little Havana. This isn't served on traditional crusty Cuban bread, and that's perfectly fine. This is Jacksonville's interpretation, a Duval Cuban that respects the original while confidently doing its own thing. The pork is juicy and packed with citrus and garlic from the mojo. The ham adds saltiness, the Swiss melts into every layer, and the mustard and pickles provide the sharp, tangy contrast that every great Cuban needs. It checks every box while carving out its own identity. Some sandwiches are lunch. This one is lunch, dinner, and maybe tomorrow's snack if you somehow manage not to finish it all. Blue Boy proves that honoring tradition doesn't always mean copying it. Sometimes the best local classics are the ones that confidently become their own tradition.

Great biscuits made in the usual and very creative ways. They have other offerings too including lunch items. We decided to get the Extreme biscuits and gravy. Your choice of two different types of gravy. Mushroom gravy or a spicy sausage gravy which is what we chose. It also has two eggs made your way on top. It is served with a cup of gravy on the side as extra serving. The spicy sausage gravy is fantastic and the closest thing I've found to our homemade gravy. Biscuits are made from scratch right there behind the cash register in view. We got our eggs scrambled with cheese. The serving size was perfect. Lots of choices for hot sauce for the eggs. The service was great. The meals came out fast and the folks there were all super nice. Even though we had a bunch of questions about the menu. Highly recommended. We will be back soon.

We came here to finally try their popular desserts but we stayed for dinner!…read more We loved the drinks and our food. We ordered a board as an appetizer and waited close to 35 minutes for it before our server realized she never rang it up. We were upset as we wanted something to snack on as we waited for our meal. She offered to quickly have it made, but our food was almost ready and it did not make sense to us anymore at that point. But no other resolution was offered. The food was great, but it took a while to get our food. It didnt seem to be busy, yet they where slow. Im sure if we had our appetizer, we wouldnt have noticed the 45 minute wait. We loved the cheesecake and the mocha cake! Drinks where very nice and strong. Overall, i loved it here. Hopefully next time ill be able to get my board!

Hubby had the smash burger and fries and all was good. I had a special cocktail called Blue Eyes something that was very refreshing.
