I tried the tomato soup for the first time today and it was divine!! Nice and hearty, not runny like most places. I also liked the arugula they put on top of the soup... gives it an interesting/different flavor and texture. Love! It took awhile 15+ min to get the food, but totally worth the wait.

Went here for a birthday brunch and i loved the vibes! If…read moreyou are going here to expect "service" there is none, you order your food and they bring it on you, thats it. No one checks on you. Food here is very affordable, and we paid right about 50$ for the 2 of us. We did tip when we paid upfront as we thought we were gonna set serviced at the table but that was not the case. The food was a 5/10. Not much flavor at all. Only thing we liked was the balsamic dressing, the side salad and the orange as a side, hehe. The espresso tasted burnt. The coconut latte did not taste like coconut at all. I had high expectations for this place but we did not like the food here. They had very nice interior designing, so it is good for pictures!

And of course, they offer some of the best quality pastries in Jacksonville! Definitely a must visit local business!

This place used to be really good. The employees seemed to genuinely love their jobs, were knowledgeable, and you could tell they cared about the animals. Unfortunately, the last couple of times I've visited, I've noticed a huge difference. The reptile enclosures have been absolutely filthy, and the employees don't seem to have the same level of care or knowledge as they did before. I understand this is a pet store and that animals may sell quickly, but that doesn't mean their enclosures should be neglected in the meantime. These animals still deserve clean enclosures and proper setups while they're in your care. It's disappointing because this used to be a place I really enjoyed visiting, and I hope they can get back to the level of care they once had..

What a lucky course of events! There is seating both inside and outside. The interior clean, bright, elegant and simple. The staff were friendly and we were served very quickly. The only wait was for the coffees ordered at my table. They were fantastic as well. I ordered the Tiramisu pie. Amazing texture, velvety layers, perfect flavor blend, bold, just the right amount of sweet...delicious. We'll be back to try more and if you haven't visited Light on The Sugar Bakery Cafe, I highly suggest you do.

My Key Lime Pie Puff was great although I would've loved a slightly more baked graham cracker crust. I also had a try of the Tiramisu cake slice and that could've been a bit HEAVIER on the sugar, if you know what I mean. Overall, I would absolutely pop in again.

That was very good and strong coffee. I noticed that there were some regulars coming and going. A large group of men gathered together at one table to have a bible study together. I loved seeing that. I noticed they had a wall of tee shirts and other things for sale. I loved the high ceilings. The decor was nice & cozy. They also had a shelf for pick up meals for drivers and call ins. Pros:they open early for early risers. Great coffee & food and plenty of parking. Cons:none Recommend:absolutely

Made fresh each day they need about 15 minutes to get them ready for you, so I would call ahead and let them know you want them. They have cheese, spinach and meat Burak, all are so good! They take thin dough and roll it out then put a line of filling then roll up like a snake, then curl around...lol hard to describe, easy to eat! It's crispy on the outside but soft inside! I haven't tried anything else yet, but I'm just so happy to have found somewhere I can get this treat!
