“Yummy food, paella negra was unavailable so we ordered an alternative which is equally tasty. Jamon Iberico is a must and so are the tapas - mix and match them and you’ll never go wrong even the salads were soooo good. Pair with red wine and it’s a winner. Staff so accommodating, expensive but well worth it, can’t wait to go back.“

“This is one OUTSTANDING hidden gem! The food is so delicious that I was left speechless as to how to describe it! The owner, Celly, is a beautiful person inside and out and her Bodega reflects that. I will most definitely be back as often as possible! No matter where you are in JAX, I highly recommend driving here to try their coffee and have an incredible meal. They are open from 10-3 and are in a little strip mall just off Roosevelt Blvd.“

“5 star ⭐️ great food and service“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying K Shars Clubs, Cubans, and Melts, and I must say, I was absolutely amazed by the flavor profiles! Each item on the menu is a delightful experience for the palate.

The K Shars Clubs are a perfect blend of textures and tastes, with layers of fresh ingredients that create a satisfying crunch and savory goodness in every bite. The balance of flavors is impressive, making it hard to put down!

The Cubans are a standout as well, with their rich, robust flavors that transport you straight to the heart of Havana. The combination of spices and quality meats is expertly executed, and each bite is bursting with authenticity.

As for the melts, they are nothing short of heavenly. The gooey cheese and carefully selected fillings create a comforting and indulgent treat that I can't recommend highly enough.

Overall, K Shars Clubs, Cubans, and Melts has truly impressed me with their innovative approach to flavor. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a delicious meal, this place should definitely be on your list. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️ Katie’s Bakery Cafe – Honest First Visit

We stopped by Katie’s Bakery Cafe spontaneously on a Saturday afternoon, simply looking to grab a cup of coffee. I hadn’t read any reviews beforehand, so we walked in without any expectations.

The first impression was actually quite positive. The display case was full of a variety of pastries, which looked fresh and appealing. We ordered two cappuccinos and shared one slice of tiramisu. The tiramisu was decent—not the best I’ve had, but not bad either.

One thing I noticed after our visit (and reading other reviews) is that prices are only displayed for drinks and sandwiches, not for pastries. Thankfully, my husband asked about the price before we ordered—the tiramisu slice was $5. That felt a little steep for the portion size, but I understand this is a small, ethnic bakery, and running a business isn’t easy.

The place was busy during our 15-minute stay, with at least 15–20 people coming and going, which speaks to its popularity. The environment is moderately neat—not filthy, but the tables could definitely be cleaned more often. As for the cappuccino, it tasted more like a sweet cocoa drink than actual coffee—too sugary for my preference.

Overall, I wouldn’t say it’s a bad place. I’ve certainly seen worse. Katie’s Bakery Cafe seems to have a loyal customer base, and while it may not be my first choice for coffee, I can appreciate the effort that goes into maintaining a unique, local business.“

“Good place to eat and drink Cuban 🍕 and 🥛“

“First-time visit and definitely not my last!
I stopped by John J.O.N. Smith’s Subs today for the first time and had a steak sub—and WOW. The bread was incredibly soft and flavorful, the steak and veggies were fresh, perfectly cooked, and seasoned just right. I added mayo to make it just the way I like it, which is easy to do since they give you control over your sauces.

What really stood out, besides the delicious food, was the service. The staff were fast, polite, and genuinely went above and beyond. The person making the sandwiches even came out to personally hand me my order—super thoughtful touch you don’t see often these days.

I had a 6-inch sub and thought it wouldn’t be enough… turns out it was more than satisfying. I almost ordered a 12-inch and I’m glad I didn’t—it was that filling. For the price I paid, the value was absolutely worth it. I’d choose this place over the big chain sub shops any day. They also have some outdoor seating to really enjoy the FL day as you have a meal.

Highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back!“
