Still my favorite donut/coffee place in Jacksonville right now!…read moreTuan is so amazing and friendly, always asking about your family. Super cute decor. The coffee is so good with tons of caffeine. I got an iced coconut and toffee latte with extra shot that was perfect for a 24hr shift. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich had great flavor.

The key is to arrive early enough to ensure you get the flavor of donut you're searching for!

This time I didn't get any dessert, but last time I got a vegan brownie with a scoop of vanilla icecream that was phenomenal. Everything in this photo is vegan as well, but they have plenty of non vegan options. I didn't take a photo but also had edamame dumplings that I could eat an endless amount of. If you're looking for a funny healthy place, this is for you. It's a little bit expensive, but very nice interior, staff, and again very healthy food. Definitely worth trying at least once!

I have been ordering from Empanadas Factory for years. Today at 3:35 p.m., I placed an online order…read moreand inadvertently selected the Picada instead of the Ceviche. I realized my mistake almost immediately and called the restaurant approximately five minutes later. I explained what had happened and asked them to substitute the Ceviche for the Picada. They refused. I understand that restaurants cannot accommodate every change once an order is underway. But refusing to correct an accidental selection only minutes after an online order was placed--particularly for a longtime customer--is inflexible and terrible service. As a result, I was charged $24.96 for an entrée I did not want. A small measure of courtesy would have preserved the goodwill of a customer who has patronized this restaurant for years. Instead, I will never order from Empanadas Factory again.

When we arrived we checked in for our reservation and even though we got here early, they were able to seat us. Since we were early we were able to order one cocktail on happy hour. I will say, I understand they want to have craft distilleries or alcohol, I wish they would have some of the bigger brands of alcohol. Some of the smaller brands just don't taste the same. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. I believe his name was John. He let us know that they just launched this menu. We were a little bummed bc we were looking forward to the strip steak with Bernaise sauce. We started with the fig pizza , meatballs, and bread. Word to the wise because they have an open kitchen, if you run hot be sure to dress appropriately. It gets pretty warm in there. The pizza was delicious. I loved the combo of blue cheese and sweet figs. The meatballs were flavorful and the sauce was really good. I liked the bread plate, just wish there were more dipping options. For dinner we all ordered the strip with the truffle fries and the peppercorn sauce. We really enjoyed the steak, but I liked the one with bernaise better. The steaks were all cooked to our liking. They knew it was my sister's birthday, so they brought out their ice cream with olive oil and sea salt. It's different but super delicious. We will back!

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..

We were in the area and early for an appointment so we stopped in here for a Diet Coke and snack…read more Very nice establishment. Music was perfect but soft enough to have a conversation. We ordered cucumber salad in spicy sauce and soup dumplings. We've never had either dish anywhere. Service was very friendly but we thought at first it was slow for what we ordered. The answer to that was, there was a party ahead of us that ordered quite a few dishes, but we were served before them, SO the answer became apparent that the kitchen was slammed and we were fine with that! The cucumber dish was fantastic! The soup dumplings looked and tasted fresh and delicious. The one downer was only one dumpling had soup, but we poured the spicy sauce on them and that was great. Looking forward to trying new dishes I've never had before.

The service was wonderful and cannot deny the hospitality of the owners and the servers. With all that being said I rely heavily on the food quality, taste and portions to determine my rating. The bread was delicious with the side of herb butter. The soup was very underwhelming with a light lemon taste but the rice and chicken was something that I expected more. I'm Filipino and reminded me of a Filipino lugaw. (A cheap food). The grape leaves were ok, but not to my taste. Felt like the filling could be more flavorful. The salad was delicious with very fresh flavors. The octopus was cooked to perfection. Nothing to complain about. With my entree, the lamb souvlaki was underwhelming at a price of $28.99. I would expect more than 6 pieces of lamb. The chicken dish reminded me of a Chicken Francese but with rice. Overall, a good experience but not a great one.

We also got the strawberry mojito (non alcoholic). The meat is fresh and I was told by the guy working that their ground beef is ground there at the restaurant. The shrimp was on the smaller side but you get a good amount and they were so delicious! They were out of their Barria Ramen but we were told it cooks for hours and is a top seller. We can't wait to try other items on the menu.

The floors were sticky and our shoes stuck to the floor. The women's restroom was out of order. The kiosks seem like a good idea but nobody there to ask questions or to get your drinks. If you can catch one of the two people working as they bring out orders you are lucky. The menus on the kiosks are pretty informative though and tell the ingredients for each item. Kiosk automatically adds 20% tip unless you change it. Considering you don't have any interaction with employees until they bring out your order other tipping options might apply. They cook to order which is nice except you don't get your drinks or your appetizers until it's your turn. There is a comment section to type no tomatoes or special instructions. Mine still came out with tomatoes but they promptly remade it for me. The food is pretty good. No complaints there other than having to remake one of my tacos. The chips and queso was pretty good. Chips were dusted with spices and served hot. We tried 6 different tacos and they were all very good. The tortillas were toasted on the grill which makes a big difference. You can get flour or corn tortillas. The chicken and steak were marinated before grilling and were big cubes and plentiful. The menu has a pretty big variety including a kids menu with chicken and fries. The last comment is their fountain machine for drinks. The coke tasted off. They may need to recalibrate it. Drinks are served in small clear throw away cups and the lids don't fit very well. Refills are hard to get. You have to wait for someone to come out of the back. If these small complaints don't bother you the food is very good.

The owners are passionate about their mission and so dang nice that you'll be on cloud nine after visiting the space. All of their food is organic and vegan; basically food that you can feel good about! No artificial preservatives, what you see is what you get. My recommendations are the Acai Berry Blast smoothie and the Bliss Bowl, which is spicy tofu deliciousness! I took my first ever yoga class at Fresh Jax. To be honest, I had no clue what I was in for. Afterwards, I felt as if I achieved nirvana. I felt calm and relaxed, almost to the point of a high-like state. For newbies like myself, Fresh Jax has my stamp of approval! Although, they do offer advanced classes for experienced yogis, too. Truly, an eye-opening experience. I need to push myself to come here more frequently, because I felt unstoppable after my initial sessions. It doesn't get better than great people behind a great product. Love this place!

I attended their grand opening and was able to check out the store and studio that day. The yoga studio is huge and their entire staff was super friendly and helpful. They have a retail area with the products they've carried for years plus baked goods, juices, etc. They have some tables set up both inside and outside, too. The atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable. When I attended the grand opening, I was able to purchase 30 days of unlimited classes at a significantly discounted price. I live nearby and they offer a variety of classes so I jumped at the opportunity to check it out. I've taken yogalates and tabata so far and both were great. The instructors are super helpful and encouraging. Fresh Jax is such an asset to this part of town. I feel like places like this typically open out at the beach or in Riverside but I'm so glad we have this gem on the southside.

Fortunately, you can avoid some of the wait if you get your food to-go. They have reserved parking spots right next to the entrance and a whole separate area to order to-go food. I came on a Thurs at 1130am and was able to order/leave in 15-20 minutes. What made me fall in love with this place was, believe it or not, the Caesar salad dressing!!! It had so much flavor and was so addicting I ate the salad in 5 minutes. The Hot Italian sandwich had tender flavorful meats, great addition with the banana peppers, and bread was light/fluffy/spot on! The wedding cake was SO GOOD! Layers of moist cake, creamy icing and sweet strawberries. Yum! The inside decor wasn't very fancy but who cares when the food's so good? Will totally be back.
