We had pool plans the rest of the day, so we wanted a good meal before that. This is the second time we've been here and it was just as good this time. I had the Quiche of the Day (again) which was Ham, Garlic & Gruyere. I can't remember what it was last time but I remember liking it a lot. This one was just as good if not better because I love me some gruyere. My wife definitely had the same thing she had last time: their breakfast sandwich. She said the roll looks like it would be really heavy but it wasn't. She said it was very light, which is how she managed to finish the whole thing. She also said the caramelized onions made the whole thing for her. We walked over to Bruiser Records afterwards since it's about a block away and the weather is great. I grabbed a few new to us LPs from the New Arrival bin, so that was an added bonus. This review originally appeared in the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Events Facebook Group.

I stopped by for a cup of coffee at this kiosk in the Avenues Mall after a long day of shopping…read more It's located on the second floor near the stage area and is larger than some kiosks and can get a bit busy and loud. You place your order on one side while the other has a counter with bar stools if you wanted to eat there. While waiting for my coffee, I watched them make crepes for other customers and was intrigued how huge they were. The menu had great combinations of both sweet and savory crepes. My coffee was smooth and flavorful and the service was fast & friendly. I will be returning soon to definitely try those wonderful looking crepes!

Le Crepes offers, as its name shows, excellent looking crepes! However, my review here focuses on…read morethe 16 oz white mocha latte I purchased during my visit. The Avenues was slow during my visit, but I'm glad I got to see one of crepes being prepped. From the menu, there is a wide offering and I look forward to getting one in the days ahead and then update this review. However, while searching for a different coffee kiosk I used to visit here on the second level of The Avenues, I discovered it was gone. So, in a sense, I was cornered to take my only option here. The barista is a veteran at this kiosk and said she's been there 11 years. I wondered if she was the owner, but I'll find that out next time. In looking at the menu, there is a fairly large variety of coffee offerings here. You pretty much can get it as plain as you want, or fully loaded! But what really made me happy was the coffee brand of choice by Le Crepes. LavAzza is awesome, so I instantly ordered a 16 oz white mocha latte. I asked for whipped cream and she gave me a near mountain! I forgot to tell her I was getting it to go. It was very kind of her to be so generous, so I look at it as a plus! The blend of the LavAzza coffee and white mocha in it really gave it a more authentic taste than I've experienced for quite a while. It was something that stood out to me where other coffee outlets didn't. It made the ride home much better and I look forward to visiting here again. Service is very good. There is a large menu of both sweeter type crepes and breakfast/sandwich type crepes. Much to choose from! On another note, I was really impressed with the cleanliness and organization of this kiosk. It's in a good spot in the mall, not far from a main entrance. It's been here 11 years, and appears to have built itself a good reputation among those who work here or customers visiting the mall. The white mocha was great! I'll get an update on the Le Crepes after my next visit! Recommend: VERY HIGH (the VERY is for the LavAzza coffee!)

After lunch, John didn't want to go straight home, I plugged in the directions to Cruffin & Tea and we were off! A small warning- their parking lot is horrible, no one wants a parking lot designed in a spiral (I don't hold it against the small business though). Google dumped us in the parking lot across the street, but I spotted the building sign and we managed. Inside- light, airy, beautifully decorated. I love the bookshelves full of books. The case had delights a plenty! Croissants, Cruffins, Cookies, Pastries and more! I have a friend who also loves croissants, but her local bakery won't sell them plain! You can grab one here! And I think I will be back to pick one up for her this week as a treat! John picked the cruffin- he inhaled it and loved every bite! I went with the strawberry shortcake croissant & it was delightful. Fresh cream and strawberries and decadent, buttery croissants! We loved every bite & will be back!

I got the Matcha Mango sticky Rice because my sister has not stop raving about it. My sister and I are obsesssssedd with matcha. We have this favorite spot of ours in Austin Texas and not even California matcha can beat it. Oh boy, this place was just as amazing. This matcha was not too heavy cream and felt light and the mix of the sticky mango was to its TEAAA. The pastries smell sooo delicious and I'm looking forward to visit Jax and come back here to try the Lavender and pastries! Honestly, better than any place in Cali!!! Props to the owner making this place so comfortable for us to just share and connect with reading our bible. We stayed there for two hours and oh we shed tears and this place really felt safe for us. First of all, those chairs are comfortable and are like couches!!! They have books and games you can bring friends or family over to enjoy. Love this place and pray for it to flourish.

Service was quick, we waited maybe not quite 10 Minutes to get all of our food. We ordered the cinnamon roll, French toast and the avocado toast to share and try different things. Egg was perfectly runny and the avocado toast was flavorful. The French toast topped with fruit was perfect- not too heavy or sweet. Cinnamon roll was our dessert and while we probably shouldn't have eaten the whole thing, we managed not to let any go to waste. The strawberry matcha was perfect. It actually tasted like Matcha and not overly heavy on the milk side. Will have to return to try other items on the menu. Everything presented so beautifully.

We frequent pastry shops, and I'm not sure how to rate this one: the pastries were below average,…read morebut I really enjoyed the setting. The Biscoff Cinnamon roll ($6.50) was pleasant, but not up to multiple ones I've had in other places (Baker's Son, Cruffin & Tea, Cinnabon; and the best, first, of those are amazing). I have eclairs ($7 for a small chocolate one) less often, but I though it was below average too. I really liked the setting, though. We got there before noon, and it was uncrowded, which helps. They play nice music. They have upscale bathrooms. Especially good is that we snagged one of two tables near the front that have nice armchairs. So it was a bit like having afternoon tea in an upscale hotel. The service was good too, and I relaxed and enjoyed myself, so I give this place an above-average, 4-star, rating, and look forward to coming again. I just hope we find some pastries we truly like. A negative, unfortunately, is that it's more expensive than many of the pastry shops we go to (e.g. Paris Baguette recently), with many items around $10. If we go back there are too many tempting-looking things to count: classics like Napoleon and Pavlova; a croissant topped with loads of chocolate; desserts in a jar, including chocolate and cherry; truffle cake; salted caramel cheesecake; pistachio/raspberry and Ferrero Rocher tarts; some individual cakes; and desserts wrapped in clear plastic cylinders.

Mochi Cafe 11025 eTown Pkwy, Ste 204, Jacksonville, FL 32256…read more Mochi Cafe is one of those places that instantly puts a smile on your face the moment you walk in. Tucked away in eTown, this charming dessert and brunch spot has built a loyal following--and for good reason. Everything here feels thoughtful, indulgent, and made with genuine care. The star of the show is undoubtedly the made-from-scratch waffles. Whether you choose a classic Belgian waffle or their signature bubble waffle, each one arrives warm, crisp on the outside, and soft inside--perfectly designed to hold generous scoops of their housemade ice cream. Flavors like Ube, Taro, and refreshing dairy-free options such as Piña Colada stand out, offering something both familiar and adventurous. Portions are generous, prices are refreshingly affordable, and the quality punches well above its weight. Beyond waffles and ice cream, Mochi Cafe shines with unique desserts like Mochi Cake and Martabak, a fluffy, cake-like treat that's rich without being overwhelming. Coffee and specialty beverages round out the menu nicely, making it just as suitable for a relaxed brunch as it is for a sweet evening stop. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, thanks to a friendly, attentive staff that treats every guest like a regular. It's a family-friendly space where kids feel welcome--and dog lovers will appreciate the thoughtful touch of pup cups for furry companions. What truly sets Mochi Cafe apart is its versatility. In addition to the brick-and-mortar locations in eTown and Saint Johns, their mobile Mochi Cafe food truck brings the same delicious experience across Jacksonville, Clay County, Nassau, and St. Johns. From smash burgers and croissant sandwiches to sweet treats and drinks, the truck is worth tracking down--just check their live schedule on their website.

We tried the bacon smash croissant burger and the chicken sandwich special. Burger was good in…read moreconcept, but the clump of bacon was soggy and tough. The croissants were cold but tasted ok. We remarked that it just looked like the patties were frozen bulk buys that were reheated and the croissants similarly had sort of a prepackaged taste. Later we saw the patty boxes sitting in their food truck which confirmed our suspicion. I'd say that it's probably fine for a place that's mostly focused on mochi, but the sandwich prices were pretty high for that kind of thing. The vegetables seemed fresh though. The loaded fries did have a pretty good flavor on them with the sauce and toppings. Service was nice though. I'm sure they're probably better known for their desserts, so next time I probably would skip the lunch part and give the mochi a taste.

It was really good and full of flavor. Definitely recommend this if you are undecided on what to order! I also ordered a side order of the Smash Browns. They were good was well. Everything was nice and clean! The only negative thing I have to say; the restaurant music and the cooks music was not the same. Their music was very loud and it was the "screaming heavy metal" type. It was over powering the music that was playing directly above us. Don't get me wrong; it's not about the type of music playing but the volume of it vs what was in the sit down area. I really think the workers knew about because they were out there wiping tables and cleaning so they must've had to hear it. Other than that food was great.
