"We absolutely love this place , the coconut cake and cheesecake are to die for"
"Very disappointed"
"The only reason this place didn’t receive 5 stars is because they over packed one cookie box so the bottom layer of cookies were completely smashed"
"Would give zero if an option"
"So this place is consistently really good"
We absolutely love this place , the coconut cake and cheesecake are to die for. My granddaughter had her birthday party this past Saturday and on Monday prior I called and ordered two dozen (24) cupcakes for a pick up 10:30 . While on the phone I confirmed the price twice with the young lady . She quoted me $48.00 for the two dozen . I was okay with that price due to how happy we have been with the bakery. Upon arrival I was informed it was $90.00 for two dozen (24) cupcakes . I was taken back by that amount and went over my conversation and the man said I will get fired if I honor that price. I asked to speak with management or owner. The owner came out , again went over the phone conversation and the quote given. She immediately accused me of not hearing them and would not lower the price , stating I am a business and need to profit . I choose to purchase a dozen at the price of $45.00 because we still had a birthday party later that day . It’s unfortunate this owner went this route , I understand she a business and her food is very good , but when one is quoted twice this price should be honored. Unfortunately I will never return here and I will let ppl know the money of a profit was more important than honoring a quote provided by her staff .

Very disappointed. I was excited to try this place out. I placed a phone order for a 6” birthday cake ($32), for pickup for two days later. Upon arrival I was informed that the cake was made a 9” ($52). I informed the cashier that I ordered the six inch and that I was expecting to pay the $32, after a moment he shrugged his shoulders and slid the cake across the counter. I ended up paying $52 for a larger cake than what I ordered. I’m not a confrontational type of person so I ultimately decided to take it and leave. Upon eating the cake I was disappointed even further that it was dry. It’s one thing to pay extra for a good cake, but this one was not worth the extra money. I placed feedback online and left a voicemail to discuss with the owner. Never heard back and it’s been two weeks. This cake was for my mother who spent the previous two weeks in the hospital, and who stated while in the hospital that she was craving a cake from here. So I decided to get it for her birthday the last week of July. I was definitely upset of my experience but even more so that it wasn’t quite what she was expecting. Overall not a pleasant experience.
The only reason this place didn’t receive 5 stars is because they over packed one cookie box so the bottom layer of cookies were completely smashed. ☹️ I was blessed to have a nice guy come into my office and hand me a box of these magical cookies. They were shared with others who also fell head over heels for the Italian butter and amaretti cookies. Light, not too sweet and melt in your mouth goodness. The next week I emailed to inquire about ordering 3.5 pounds of cookies for various people. My email was responded to in less than 24 hours! We went back and forth in email to get the orders ready for pickup. I showed up on a Saturday morning and my orders were ready. The young men working the counter were very friendly. By the time I checked out at 10:35AM the bakery was packed with people. This is no joke. I drove from Fleming Island (an hour total) for these cookies and I would do it again! They are worth the price at around $17 a pound. I will be sharing this place with as many as I can even though they clearly don’t need the accolades.
Would give zero if an option...This place has absolutely the worst service. Baked goods are great but the management is horrible. Been going here for a long time but completely over the constant changing hours and nonsense from the management. This past weekend (Saturday before Easter) stopped for a slice of cake and pie for out of town guests and was told, "We are not selling by the slice today". What?!?! They sell by the slice every other day! Some BS due to holiday thing they cooked up for some bizarre reason. Were they afraid of waste? Sorry cost of doing business that every bakery has. They make more selling by the slice than they do whole pies! On way out saw group of 3 elderly people ask for slices and they were refused also. How many people thought the day were refused? Good bet at least a whole cake or pies worth. Worst service ever and will never be back. Whoever made that decision should be shown the door!
So this place is consistently really good. I wanted to order a cake from here so I went in to try some of their product before I ordered. I have been back quite a few times now and everything I have tried so far has been stellar. Every time I go in they have a few things that are typically always there and then what seems to be a rotation of other pastry in their repertoire which definitely keeps it interesting. So far from cupcakes to cannoli to cookies I have been repeatedly impressed. Shout out to a phenomenal coconut cream pie that was there last week which is something I normally would never reach for but I am very glad I did. Great work, keep it up. I hope everyone finally realizes how terrible Publix is and switches to an actual bakery like this one.
Hands-down worst experience ever just drove 45 minutes to come get what they say are Italian pastries for the holidays, it’s 11 AM they have nothing there one person says it’ll be ready at 12 the other person says it’ll be a few hours. I asked if I can pay for my stuff now and come back later and get it. He said no they don’t do that they lose profit. How would you lose profit if I paid for something and came back and got it ? The gentleman blamed the owner and then the two girls working the counter who have absolutely no customer service who don’t know anything about the job that they’re doing even if the cookies are good or the pastries I would never go back piece of my interaction with those three
BREAD PUDDING! Yes that's one of the reasons we keep coming back to Amaretti! It's just soo good! They have other cakes and pastries but our visit is not complete without it! A MUST try! Another favorite of mine is the Everything Croissant with Cream Cheese filling! I always toast it at home because it tastes better! Crunchy and flaky, delicious! You'll be lucky if they still have some left in the afternoon so be early! Their Pistachio Muffin is yummy too. Aside from desserts, they also serve coffee which is perfect with those sweets! Obviously, I highly recommend this place! You will not be disappointed!
The people here are very kinda and wonderful to talk to! The baked goods here are amazing and they have a good variety baked there at the store. The bakery is VERY clean and very cute! The coffee is insanely good and they have good milk alternatives and really interesting flavors! I love this place! Also I'd like to mention that the prices are justified. these are fresh baked goods that take time and ingredients to make. Not just something thats frozen and reheated. It is definitely something to be enjoyed! :) I would've taken a picture of the things I ordered but they were too delicious!
This place ! I can't express this enough... their bread pudding is soooo good. Even if you don't really favor bread pudding (or have never tried it) make it a point to at least try theirs. Whenever I stop in, I get 2 orders of bread pudding & 1 tirumisu (which is also fantastic) then pick out a random item out of their case that I have yet to try. I also grab a flavored coffee, which they have many flavor choices you can mix & match into your cup-o-caffeine. If you're looking to try something more local, shop small, & not so mainstream (starbucks/peterbrooke), go here.
The desserts are great but they need to package them better. I bought multiple speciality cupcakes for Star Wars Day because it is also my birthday. I was very careful with them but all of them still turned over in their boxes. I was so disappointed. No point in buying them if they got ruined before I even got home. If you order from here, just do not take cupcakes to go--they will not make it home. Honestly, if they just gave sturdy bags instead of the flimsy plastic bags, this probably would not happen. Prices sure are high enough to warrant a sturdier bag.
My husband & I stopped here for the 1st time after dinner last night. I got the cookie dough cupcake & he got a slice of the chocolate cake.. they were both delicious! While the food was great, the staff was extremely unprofessional. "Allyson" was complaining that another store called about being out of milk & "didn't take the responsibility to put it on the list" but she went on and on, using the "F" word multiple times very loudly in the shop. It's one thing to feel that way, but another to Express it that way.. loudly.. in front of customers.
this is our FAVORITE bakery. we try to visit a few times a month and it is amazing every single time. my daughter and husband stick to their go-tos which is the key lime pie tart and the oreo red velvet cheesecake, both of which are divine. I try to get something different each time bc they have so much to choose from! Everything I have tried so far has been delicious from the cookies to the tiramisu. I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order from them. Their staff has always been so friendly and helpful too!
Delicious dessert & we highly recommend you try them all! We love coming here from time to time and treating ourselves to some delicious sweets. We have yet to try something we do not like. The service is always very friendly and professional. The pictures below, the Apple pie and the bread pudding we were already digging in before remembering that we needed pics we highly recommend the bread pudding our favorite so far. The ginger molasses cookies are to die for!
Amarettis has been a family favorite for years! Desserts are delicious, staff very friendly. Only 2 things can use improvement- there isn't really any variety, the menu is mainly the same year round and doesn't really include fruit items/flavors, and they frequently run out of stock of many items early in the day. Always a good idea to call before you visit if you're looking for something specific but if you can get what you want it is always a perfect treat.
This is an amazing place to go for delicious baked items. Everything I have tried here has been really good. They have just about everything from mini Italian cookies, assorted cakes cookies, cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, muffins and more. My personal favorites are the cupcakes, the peanut butter pie and most recently I tried the Smores Chocolate Chip cookie bar, I highly recommend it. It's a good thing there is a Planet Fitness right across the street :)
I'm from Chicago originally and my favorite dessert has always been Taramisu. Yesterday was my 58th birthday and my daughter order from y'all. She wasn't able to get the whole cake cause of it being last minute but she got 6 slices. Omgosh literally was the best I've ever had. Coming from me and my flavors I insist on being from such a flavorful city is a very high compliment. I'm so very impressed and thankful. Y'all are super amazing!!
Awesome bakery! I had their red velvet oreo cheesecake when they had their location at San Marco and didn't realize they opened a different location. It was just as delicious as I remembered. The red velvet cake is really good and the buttercream is not too sweet. They have an assortment of cakes, croissants, cupcakes, cookies and pastries. They sell coffee, specifically from brass tacks. You can order custom cakes here as well.
The chocolate silk pie definitely looked good on display, but the quality was definitely lacking when served. Was kind of shocked to see what I was given, but this is what and how I was served. They definitely shortened the slice and left part of it with the rest of the pie. For $6, you'd expect to be served the whole slice of pie you ordered. The employee definitely needs to be trained on how to properly cut a slice of pie.
I spoke with the owner originally regarding a cake and cookies for my wedding. Donna was very pleasant, and we ended up deciding on a marble two tiered cake and a variant of cookies. The cake and cookies were a hit among the guests. All cookies were eaten quickly and we barely had any cake leftover at the end of the night! Would definitely recommend, thanks to Amaretti for contributing to our wonderful evening!
Great service! The Devil himself is the lead Baker along side his Minions. The Devil's Minions lure you in with Great attitudes Friendly service with a backdrop of delectable and before you realize it...you're knee deep in sin. Dam you! (Waving my chocolate covered fist) Well I guess I'll see you guys next weekend before church on Sunday as I ask for Forgiveness for visiting you for the 3rd time in 2 weeks
I finally made it in time before they sold out of bread pudding! Everything I've had here, from pies to tiramisu, is fantastic. One stand out is their coffee... I think the lattes here are the best I've had in JAX, and I've been to a lot of coffee shops. The lattes are consistently good, too, unlike many other coffee shops. I wish I lived closer, but it's probably good for my waistline that I don't.
These ppl are very serious about their business. You can absolutely guarantee both good customer service and high valued bakery. It’s absolutely amazing how perfect the balance between cake sweetening and icing is crafted into AD’s recipe. They definitely serve strong competition for bakeries all across America. Always our go to for dessert…
I always enjoy coming here after dinner. I’m not a big dessert person, but I come for the cheesecake and tiramisu. They both are terrific!!

I had my hopes up when I heard about this place but was severely disappointed. The red velvet cake was SO dry, and there were eggshells in it. I could NOT believe how awful it was based off other people's reviews. My son and I will NOT be back. We'll have to find another spot for our family celebration cakes. …
Love the delicious pastries from Amaretti! My son got a huge cream puff and I got an almond amaretti cookie! Was a great little mother/son date!

Quality ingredients Delicious options We lived in Italy 3 years & their Amaretti cookies are SPOT ON! Love everything they make and REALLY APPRECIATE the taste of Europe. Not super super sweet like most bakeries here. Once you try it you find an excuse to drive by there often. Nice place for a coffee too.
It was my first experience with Amaretti Desserts and it was fabulous. It was my birthday and I spontaneously wanted coconut cake and they had it by the slice (but you can call ahead to order a whole cake or pie, if you so desire). It was very good!. We also got a key lime tart.and it was delicious.
Everything I've had from here is delicious! Today was the Cookies & Cream. It's never a bad choice. The Chocolate Overload will make you happy dance while eating it. Sometimes they have "dump cakes" which is my favorite thing b/c it's just a container of cake with icing on the side. …
First time customer from Orange Park off Blanding Blvd., and I am very pleased with the quality of the Italian desserts. Purchased Tiramisus and Cannolis and both were exceptional ! Employees were very professional and friendly. Definitely a repeat customer for this business
It was 30 mins to close and I was craving something sweet. They didn't have a lot of options (understandable since everything is made daily) but I'm very happy with what I did have! Everything was delicious! Definitely will go back earlier so I can try some pie and cake!
Had exactly what I wanted and the desserts were flavorful. The strawberry sugar cookie tasted like real strawberry and delicious. The M&M cookie was delicious as well. I also had the largest cappuccino available and it did not disappoint. The strong flavor was great.
1st time visit. Stopped by for a breakfast snack. The Cheese Danish & the Pumpkin Danish was very tasty.....and the house coffee was robust. I'll have to come by again with Darling some evening for coffee and dessert. Very good experience.
First time here. The place looked clean but I honestly was not impressed with the quality, choices and most of all prices. I bought a slice of the Double Chocolate Cake & one of the Oreo Cake. Total almost $12 for 2 slices of cake. My son
Went in for an afternoon treat, didn't disappoint. Ordered the coconut cream pie, lemon square and carrot cake. The coconut cream pie was absolutely heavenly. Lemon square was divine. The carrot cake was good but nothing spectacular. I
I ordered a cream cheese King Cake and a cinnamon King Cake for my work team to celebrate Fat Tuesday. I began by emailing Donna at Amaretti to ask about pricing etc. and emailed a few more times to ask questions about the number of
Best Dessert Bakery in town! I will get cakes or pies from here for any occasion and especially for when my sweet tooth is in the mood and to treat myself. Their pies are especially delicious! You can get a slice or the whole thing.
Every single time I come in here it's the best version of whatever I get. Today I had the best lemon tart I've ever had, they have the best key lime tart and better than Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. Every single visit is delicious!
If I could rate a 10 I would. Tried this spot for the first time today, I have to say this is one of the best red velvet cakes I’ve ever had. The price is not bad and the service is quick. I will be back I highly recommend!!!
Really good Bakery. My mom loves coconut cake and it's hard to find but Amaretti had it. Moist and sweet cake. I'm a apple pie fan myself and the pie there is great!!!! It's well worth the trip to visit Amaretti. …
Love their sweets. But always short on indoor tables. And recently they arranged tables in worst way. Hope they fix it and have dinning person to avoid some people come in with outside drinks and take tables just to rest.
Went here for the first time for a dessert tasting. Everything we tried was made perfectly. The staff was very nice and polite. The coffee is amazing as well and made from locally roasted coffee beans from Pura Bean.
This place is so cute on the inside AND it's filled with delicious sweets. I got the Chocolate Silk Pie and my friend had the Kentucky Derby Pie. All of it was so great. They also serve Coffee! How fantastic.
This place is phenomenal. The staff is superb. It is our once a week must have. Highly recommend this bakery . Reminds me of my younger days in Brooklyn. Everything is so delicious and presentation …
We ordered Italian cookies for our daughter wedding. We want to thank amaretti for doing an amazing job! Everyone loved the cookies and wanted to know where we got them so we gave them your number!
Awesome bakery! We are originally from New York and it’s been very hard to find a good bakery like home. I got a chocolate cake for my wife’s birthday and she love it. We will continue to go back.
Amaretti’s had good desserts and the cookies with sprinkles in them were by far my favorite. They also had a good variety of dessert items to try. Check them out for some classic Italian Desserts.
One of the best bakeries I've found in the entire state of Florida! Will definitely return if I'm in town again. You can get the sticky buns and won't be disappointed!. Got a box of cookies to
My go to bakery any time I host dinner parties. Excellent customer service and anything you get from there is always outstanding! The latest was a German Chocolate cake for a birthday party.
Really good!!!! They even asked if I wanted a center or corner piece!!! How thoughtful. Oh. My. Gosh. The chocolate biscotti is too DIE FOR!!! everything was spectacular! We will be back!!!
It's not as good as it used to be after a few years. Cheesecake had too much sour cream, Italian rum cup cake was super dry, and all it had was an injected run cream flavor in the middle.
Great dessert place. Special ordered a Banana Cream pie with extra ingredients and it was GREAT! Staff were friendly & helpful. Definitely a place for those with a sweet tooth.
Delicious Pastries & Coffees. Italian specialties, ricotta cannon, St. Joseph cakes with cream, rum birthday cakes. Bread pudding, I could go on & on! Everything is fabulous!
I found this little gem on Google because my love wanted dessert. I called before coming, the young lady on the phone was super friendly and gave us some info before coming.
First time going today with the family. I had the Chocolate chip s'more and it was delicious! So moist and bursting with flavor.. We will be going back again.
I had the triple chocolate cake with a cold glass of milk. I was there for a meeting with work. Best breakfast ever! You should always have dessert first!
I love their almond covered amaretti and carrot cake but I’ve been told everything is delicious. I enjoy the fact that they are open on the weekends.
We've been to Amaretti's a few times since moving here last summer. Their cookies and pies are wonderful. Very full flavors and great textures in
Amazing and bubbly staff, cookies were perfect, coffee is good too. Highly recommend and almond amaretti and apricot thumbprint cookies
Amazing desserts. Cookies and creme cake is delicious. We also had a special request for a chocolate espresso cake that was fantastic.
Nice small cafe with a great selection of coffee and baked goods. A little pricey but the portions are generous and they're delicious!
The cookies and cream cake we ordered was amazing. Fair warning though, it was rich. The Bread Pudding here is amazing too
Got some Red Velvet Cake and Hot Chocolate. It was really nice. The girl behind the counter named Hannah was sweet.
Good (LOCAL) coffee and really good baked goods - a huge variety of cakes, tarts, pastries and pies.
Great coffee , good atmosphere, large selection of pastries and desserts. Highly recommend it.
Delicious. The morning muffin was a total hit. Yummy. Wish I still lived in batram
best cookies. grab a key lime pie tart and a cinnamon bun for breakfast tomorrow.
Best place to find dairy free and non dairy free baked goods in Jacksonville!!
Love this place ❤️ Red velvet Oreo cheesecake is amazinggg!
one of the best bakery's i love the red velvet cake.
