White bean avocado toast is where it's at! Pastries, you can't go wrong. They could offer to warm up the cheese and ham croissant. Was expecting more enthusiasm about the Valentine's menu
It was my first visit, and I can’t believe what I’ve been missing! The café is so charming, and the outdoor seating was ideal for Florida’s not-too-cold weather. I tried the seasonal menu and had the blackberry cream cheese danish—oh my goodness, it was amazing. I asked for it to be warmed up, and wow, that’s a must. It came out absolutely perfect.
I’ve been coming here for years! This is by far my most favorite bakery in Jax. Sourdough lovers must visit. They use high quality local ingredients so that even something simple is delicious! I’ve never had something here that I didn’t like. I usually opt for whatever quiche they have that day and it never disappoints. They have a seasonal sweet potato latte that is so tasty. Over the years, they’ve had some great community events too, which I really appreciate. I always enjoy sitting out in the garden! This place is such a treat.
I really like the food at this place. First, you walk in and have to wait in line to order and pay, so I recommend taking the time to read the menu a bit to order faster. Everything they have is delicious. The bread is, without a doubt, the star of the place. They make it there, cut it there, and sell you flour, pre-made bread, and everything else you need. It's really good. The sandwich we had is super soft and tasty; it looks simple but it's very good. The drinks are good too. Overall, it's a nice atmosphere (they have a very nice outdoor patio where you can hang out with your pet) and there's a small area for small children inside. I definitely recommend this place. It's small, cozy, and they sell really good breakfast food. Something important: The tip is already included with everything you buy.
After years of my wife and friends eating here and only eating their take out, I finally made it in. Why did I wait!? Community Loaves is everything you want in a locally owned restaurant. The staff is amazing and quick. Prices are fair and service is easy included so no issues with tips. Parking is easy with several places to park your vehicle. The food here is great. The egg sandwich is tasty. The morning buns are delicious. The avocado toast is not going to hurt your mortgage payment. The ambiance is great. I sat outside and multiple folks brought their dogs to eat with. Folks are friendly and eating outside is chill.
