Furthermore I decided that a 5-Star review is still owed, since "price" should be a matter of perspective and not something that should cost a good business a star. That being said, I got exactly what I ordered and it was delicious!! It was the perfect way to start my day at the beach. My bagel was perfectly toasted and I could taste all of the flavors I asked for. I stepped outside to sit under the sunshine while I waited for my order, and to my surprise they brought it outside for me. Overall a great experience and I would definitely do it again.

I came for breakfast and this spot didn't disappoint. I wanted a real good bagel breakfast…read moresandwich.. bacon egg and cheese! The staff was so nice and asked if I wanted it toasted.. yes please! Wow when she brought to table it was hot and cheese melted it was just little toasty and sooo good! No need for any condiments.. the bagel was little crunch on outside and soft on inside the bacon perfectly cooked as were eggs! Perfect way to start the day.. there's a few tables and a bar height table at window. Lots of different kinds of bagels and different flavors of cream cheeses! They had lox too which I haven't seen many places.. highly recommend stopping in for breakfast or lunch.. they make sandwiches with boars head meats! Can't wait to try that too!

My husband and I split The Woods sandwich with Maui onion chips, and it was exactly what you want from a great lunch spot: perfectly toasted, flavorful, and not overloaded--just the right balance of meat and cheese. Our server (brown ponytail, floral sleeve tattoo) was fantastic--super friendly and thoughtful enough to split our sandwich onto two separate trays without us asking. Those little touches make a big difference. We grabbed pastries to go and had them later with coffee at home... just as delicious as lunch. The place was hopping (always a good sign), service was smooth, and even the bathrooms were spotless. Safe to say this won't be a once-a-decade visit anymore!

After a bunch of research, my husband and I decided to give Giovanni's a try. The place itself is clean, well kept and there are plenty of tables all around. The lady who took our order didn't hold a long conversation but she was super nice. We each ordered the Lox All The Way on sesame bagels and they were so good! The lox to cream cheese ratio was on point. There were great amounts of tomato, capers and sliced red onions to bring out all the flavors without the sandwich itself being overpowering. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to be back.

Sfoiatella pastry is to die for its very authentic freshly made crispy. They do put powdered sugar on it so if you pre-order for pick up on another day, they will do it without the sugar. I'm not a big fan of the egg and cheese sandwiches. I'll be honest I think it's just me finding what the right cheese mix is or maybe it's the role because it's very like a Kaiser roll but very fluffy. Maybe I have to have that scooped out. The eggs just don't do it for me and I can't put finger on it! They made great deli sandwiches though for my friends and I boat trip!

My first time it took 40-minutes to get two breakfast sandwich bagels, but they were newly opened so I cut them grace. However today... I live on the opposite end of Jacksonville and wanted a bagel before work. Woke up early and drove over to the shop that said online they open at 0700. It's now 0715 and no one is here - when I even try placing a mobile order it states, "nothing available until Wednesday." Don't waste your time, veteran owned or not. This place is inconsiderate of people's time.
