Reviews Cinotti's Bakery

My daughter used Cinotti‘s for her wedding cake. We knew the family, the long reputation for quality and connection to the community, and we knew we would not be disappointed. It was AMAZING! Their whole family is as genuine as it comes. The quality of their food is unmatched. Cinotti’s is a Jacksonville staple, and I would highly recommend them to everyone I know! If you’ve never been there, do yourself a favor and make the drive.

I only have praises for Cinotti's Bakery. Delicious food and bakery items at great prices. The pumpkin donuts are a MUST try. Friendly service.

Best bakery in Jax beaches area. The cookies are amazing and always cleverly decorated. All cakes and desserts are fabulous. In the fall, the pumpkin doughnuts are a MUST try!!!!! They serve lunch too and the kids love the kid items which include a cookie.

Amazing!. The people who work at Cinotti's are the nicest group of people I've ever met. The donuts, cookies and cakes are absolutely amazing. They did my wedding cake and everyone raved about how it was one of the best cakes they've ever tasted, asking where we got it from. The cookies are also very creative in theme (kids are excited to look at them when we go in). I will definitely be back when in the area. The sandwich part of their name is definitely on my wishlist.

If you don't like this place then hurry back across the ditch and get some Dunkin Donuts or Panera. Lady who wrote a review about her wedding cake...whatever I bet your wedding sucked anyway quit hating on this place just because your wedding sucked not Cinotiis fault you probably should have had Winn Dixie in Oakleaf make your cake! Ignorant people make me so angry.

Serious Sweets and treats. I have brought my daughters in for the sweet treats since they were very wee. That's when there was a bakery viewing window. Now they are older, and they chow down on the great burgers and fries ( the nice grill lady sees us coming!!) and a cookie on the side, our day is a little more happy. Thanks for the continued yummy memories, Cinottis...:)

Great food...they have BACON DONUTS!!!. Let me just start by saying GOOD LORD that was good! So, that should tell you the way this review is going to go. This was one tasting that I was glad to be a part of. My only worry would be diabetes haha. That won't be a problem for you, but I had the pleasure of trying about 5 different donuts a breakfast sandwich and a cookie. Side note: If you wear "skinny jeans", being a food blogger isn't for you. My dad used to kid about wearing maternity pants for eating, yeah my dad was a forward thinker
Location: If you're going east on Beach Blvd (heading towards the water for the directionally challenged like myself), Penman is on the left at a stop light that has a car wash at the light. If you see Dunkin Donuts, turn around, you went too far. Anyways, head down Penman and it will be on your right. They have been in this location for 26yrs and the locals will make sure you see it due to the crowded parking lot. And we all know a crowded parking lot is a sign of good food!
A little background first: This is a bonus section… Michelle Vining is the 5th generation baker/owner. Cinotti's has a strong following, they have been around in one form or another since 1936 and their food shows why. If you stop by, make sure you say hi to Michelle, she is very personable and loves to meet her customers.
Food: The showcase donut for me is the Maple Bacon Donut. When they brought that out, I think the clouds outside parted …. the sun started shining and as Michelle started walking in slow motion while a Jack Johnson song played softly in the background (don't judge me). As Michelle described the donut "some people don't care for it while some people's mouth's start watering". Let me just say this, if you love bacon, there is no way you won't like this donut. It was the perfect combination of sweet & savory. The bacon is crispy and salty and well done…perfect! The next one was the Carrot Cake donut. I'm not a fan of carrot cake normally but this was surprisingly good. It was very moist and the taste was spot on. This will be an option for me when I go there now. There is a battle of the donuts going on with the staff of Cinotti's between the Key Lime donuts and the Coffee donuts. The front of the house is the Key Lime group while the back is the Coffee group. Well, Cinotti's, I'm with the back of the house…Coffee all the way. It was perfect, moist, not too sweet and just tasty. We also had the opportunity to try the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. The croissant is big! This is not your Burger King croissant, this is for big boys. Big pieces of bacon, american cheese and a hearty serving of egg. It hit the spot. This and a cup of coffee makes for a good breakfast.
Overall Rating 1-10: 9.5 A great breakfast spot. It's a little off the grid but the locals are very loyal. Once you stop by, you will see why.
Would I eat here again: In the words of Sarah Palin "You betcha!" What a great place to sit down, catch up with a friend or a loved one and just enjoy some good food and supporting a local bakery/restaurant in Jacksonville.
Extra info: With Valentine's day coming, make sure you check out their decorated cookies. Oh and for all you Mardi Gras loving people, they are one of the few bakeries in the Jacksonville area that make King Cake's. Make sure you call and place your order! Good luck getting the baby! That probably sounds creepy if you don't know what a King Cake is haha. Google it please:)

The Best! They once again made the most creative & amazing birthday cupcake cake for my daughter's birthday

Sweet!. Great place to eat lunch. you can't leave without getting a cookie or some type of dessert. yes, the cookies have lots of icing, but they taste good, and you dont have to eat all the icing! have ordered cakes for birthdays past and they never fail us.

Overall Rating 1-10: 9.5 A great breakfast spot. It’s a little off the grid but the locals are very loyal. Once you stop by, you will see why.

I ordered an Easter Dinner from Cinotti's. First time....never ordered food before--just sweets. WOW---- the meal was fabulous. My family loved everything--especially the CAKE---WOW. beautiful and delicious. Thank YOU to all the staff at Cinotti's for making my Easter Dinner so special.I will order my next Holiday meal from you .

Cinottis is an old school Italian bakery and they know what they are doing. Probably the best jelly doughnut I've eaten since I was a kid...SO....MUCH...JELLY...surrounded in a fluffy white doughnut. It was simply heaven and worth every calorie. Also try their cinnamon buns doughnuts, pastries of all sorts and delicious variety of authentic Italian cookies. A few tables are set up inside and out to allow you to rip open the bags and partake (chow down) your goodies on site. Cinottis will ably handle your doughnut, pastry and cookie crave.

We were set up at ocean blue apartments, serving from our food truck when a sweet lady came up and gave us these delicious donuts! We didn’t catch her name, but hopefully she sees this, thank you again! I’d highly recommend this bakery to anyone, they were all so delicious!!

Ordered a custom cake for my son's 3rd birthday and he loved it! He kept repeating spiderman-hulk smash and had the biggest grin. Tasted fresh and delicious.
