    Sapori Authentic Sapori Italian Restaurant is the kind of place you go when you're craving real, authentic Italian flavors instead of the usual chain-restaurant version. From the moment you walk in, the cozy atmosphere and the aroma of garlic, olive oil set the tone for a true Italian treat! The menu focuses on traditional recipes made with fresh ingredients. Dishes feel straight out of a family kitchen in Italy. Service is warm and welcoming, adding to the relaxed, family-style vibe. Sapori delivers comforting, classic Italian cuisine that feels both genuine and satisfying. The paninis steal the show with rich parm, aromatic olive oil, and prosciutto that I haven't found since I was in Italy. The coffee drinks are amazing Lavassa served, of course. Desserts from cannoli,custard filled pasteri3s, pistachio horns, and more

    Adorable little cafe with delicious sandwiches, pastries, and coffee. We went here for a book club event (bedazzling our books) that the restaurant graciously allowed us to hold. I ordered a tomato, fresh mozzarella and pesto panini with a pellegrino and it was so good. I didn't have dessert but two of the other attendees did and raved about it. Definitely want to come back to enjoy some Coffee and treats!

    Customer service was good. The pastries looked delicious. I tried the cream puff, lobster tail and pistachio crossiant. The cream puff light and creamy Lobster tail was flaky but the ends was too crispy. Also with the crossiant, the ends were too crispy. I will definitely go back again to give other items a try. I had a French vanilla latte. It first came out in a glass which was too hot for me to grab to drink. I had to ask to be put into a mug. But the manager came out and was checking on the guest and cleaning tables which I love to see.

    When I searched for a espresso shop nearby and saw this name pop up on my navigation, I knew it was gonna be good. SAPORI café is like you're in Italy. The pastries are so authentic and fresh with such great varieties. The coffee is on point with awesome aesthetics. I love how they sell products as well such as different flavors of panettone. We will definitely be back and can't wait to take friends and family.

    Fairly plain little shop with a good amount of seating, including a couple of tables outside. Very friendly owners that love talking about Italy. I didn't try any of the food items but they looked so good! Will definitely be back for that. I ordered a hot Amaretto caffelatte and was given a choice of cups, which I like. Drink was very tasty with the perfect amount of sweetness. Parking is very easy here.

    I finally got to try this place!! Been wanting to go for a while but never had time. So on my day off my friend and I came here. Place has lots of parking spot, so no need to stress about parking. Place is small, but adorable, clean, and modern. I ordered the cappuccino with an extra shot of espresso, a pesto, mozzarella, ham sandwich with tomatoes and arugula, and a little dessert. The cappuccino was delicious and the sandwich was yummy in my tummy!!! I love their bread! It had such a nice crunch and texture to it. I also enjoyed the cream pastry. It was great paired with the coffee. Everything was amazing. From the staff, to the coffee, and food. I loved it and will colw back here again.

    The coffee is sooooo good.

    European authentic coffee and food! Yummy Great location!!!! Delicious pastries! I recommend this place to everyone.

    Creme bombolone
    Swarnendu S.

    An absolute gem!! While the decor keeps things simple and charming without any pretense, the real magic happens with every single bite and sip. The food here is truly extraordinary. I was thrilled to find bombolones - these Italian donuts are practically impossible to find in Jacksonville, and theirs were perfection. The croissant achieved that ideal flaky texture that so many places struggle with, practically melting in my mouth with each layer. We couldn't resist trying two of their cakes, and I'm so glad we did. Both were impeccably balanced - not too sweet. But the real showstopper was the tiramisu latte. What truly elevated the experience was the owner's genuine passion and knowledge. They took the time to explain each item. His helpfulness and warmth made us feel like welcomed guests rather than just customers. Sapori Cafe proves that you don't need flashy decor when your food speaks this eloquently. This is authentic Italian craftsmanship in the heart of Jacksonville.

    I just found out about this place yesterday so I had to make the stuff. OMG the pastry was perfect. This may be my first trip here, but it won't be my last as a Realtor ® it will be a great place to bring customers.

    I dropped in to Sapori Caffè after hearing such great things about this local, family-owned Italian coffee shop and bakery. Go ahead and add this to the growing list of rave reviews, it's well deserved. Located in the heart of Mandarin along San Jose Blvd. (same building as Clara's Tidbits), Sapori Caffè is the perfect "cozy coffee shop" getaway for those craving something out of the ordinary. I was taken aback by their large selection of both coffee and non-coffee based drinks, as well as the scrumptious Italian pastries beckoning from the glass case. The decor is minimalistic, but warm and welcoming, with enough seating for brunch with the besties. Noms: Decisions, decisions. I could go on and on about the variety of goodies, but that would take all day. Bring an appetite and come savor the experience. Pistachio Cake: This was the LIGHTEST cake that I've EVER eaten. It was like biting into a cloud, and in a very good way. It didn't have the overly-sweet "artificial" Pistachio pudding flavor, which brought it to the next level for me. Bomboloni with Nutella: You can choose from a variety of fillings for your Bomboloni, and I'm a HUGE Nutella fan, so that was the obvious choice for my first visit. Absolutely delicious, soft, doughy goodness, and I look forward to trying the other fillings on future visits. Italian Hot Chocolate: Its very rich....like...RICH. The "Elon Musk" of hot chocolates. Don't get me wrong, the flavor is on point, this ain't Swiss Miss territory, it's the REAL deal. And So: GO HERE, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Sapori Caffè has been around for 9 months, so stop in and show this awesome business some love! Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, SUPPORT your local eats and businesses, and as always...SYOY!

    Sapori has a small menu, but the sandwiches are delicious! They don't look very exciting, but everything is really fresh and the bread is perfectly toasted. Just like the sandwiches, the restaurant isn't super exciting to look at, but it's clean, which is most important. Not super happy about the price (2 sandwiches + 1 iced coffee + 1 sanpelegrino was $40), but everything is expensive these days.

    Cornatto filled with strawberry jam
    Vanessa T.

    Lovely Cafe that transports you straight into Italy! Same owners as the crepe place in the avenues! We started with a little of everything, a cornetto which is very similar to a croissant it was airy and buttery! Cappuccino was so silky and creamy! Then the focaccio sandwich was delicious! It was crunchy on the exterior bread but light on the inside, really enjoyed, can't wait to head to Italy for more options on this sandwich! Great taste of Italy here in jax

    A delightful place for a LavAzza coffee and something sweet. Great casual ambiance. Family run--mostly.

I decided on a caramel latte (improvised because I got to have caramel), a strawberry cream cheese cruffin and several pastries to go. I want to say that the cruffin was one of the best things I ever tasted. It was light, flaky but also hearty and sweet. My friend tried a piece of mine and had to order her own. The service was amazing items were made in a good time frame. I did notice customers ordering boxes filled with pastries so I'll assume that everything is good here. The building is a little on the smaller size so although you can seat and enjoy, it can get crowded if too many people have that idea. She does have outdoor seating. Overall, I loved this place and I'm happy to stop and order when I'm just needing a decadent treat.

I decided to try a simple drip coffee and the country fried chicken sandwich. Okay so pickles on a breakfast sandwich felt a little weird but I like to try things as the restaurant intended. I'm very glad I did as the pickles gave it a nice little pop. The egg was perfectly fried. Done well enough that it wasn't a runny yolk but not so done that the yolk gets chalky. The gravy was insane. Not going to lie, a lady was dipping her finger in the bowl and eating it....(okay so I'm the lady, it was me. Don't hate me, that stuff was irresistible). The drip coffee was perfectly brewed. Not too weak or strong and it didn't taste as if it sat around a while. Service-10/10. The staff was very helpful with explanations and to provide suggestions based on what is popular. I saw two employees from the counter area and both were cheerful and welcoming. The restaurant is counter service but I had taken a seat to wait and they brought it out to me and even came to take my trash away when they saw I was done. Atmosphere-9/10. The restaurant is cute and bright. It's very welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. My only two negatives are that the tables feel a bit cramped and it's far from my home. Obviously I can't knock them for me not being a local, but the table situation could use improvement. I imagine the table layout was based on them fitting the space but when you add even a normal size person, you would need additional space to get in and out of the seat especially when the seats have arms. As a plus size person if it gets busy you would be very limited for seating comfortably options. All-in-all I loved the place and when my errands return me to this side of town early, I'll be stopping in again.

The team is not helpful at all, in fact, the whole process is kind of confusing. I think breakfast/brunch is a really fun event and that wasn't the case here. The kiosk ordering system is easy enough but what happens after that can only be described as chaotic. It's hard to tell if your order is being placed on the rack or in the spot for pick ups. We were dining in. At some point, we got our food and it looked really good. I got the EggBred cheeseburger and my friend got the ribeye sandwich. Her steak was really dry and chewy. My burger was super greasy and had zero distinguishing flavors. It all kind of melded into one glop. Which is never the way to describe anything edible. I think the drink prices were so high they were stupid. A glass bottle of Coke (the narrow bottle) was $5. Our total was $32 for just the sandwiches. No add ons. No drinks. Neither of us ate our whole meal. Not because we were full, it was because they just weren't good. I would not go back.

They were packed with flavor, made fresh, and honestly just as memorable as the doughnuts themselves. Speaking of the doughnuts... I don't even know where to begin. They're unlike any doughnut I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with creative flavors. If you're on a diet, you might want to avoid this place because once you have one, you'll want to try them all. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of energy. We loved our first visit so much that we came back a second time during the same trip, which says everything. My fiancé walked out saying he wanted to open a Parlor Doughnuts in our hometown because it was that good. This is one of those places that completely lives up to the hype. If you're anywhere near Jacksonville, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it.

Too moist to be a donut or a muffin, so it must be a cupcake, which is weird considering the shape. The icing was awful. It's so overpoweringly sweet it doesn't taste like chocolate or banana, just sugar. If you don't scrape it off, it makes the whole thing way too sweet.
