cinotti's bakery & sandwich

i only have praises for cinotti's bakery. delicious food and bakery items at great prices. thepumpkindonuts 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, thepumpkindoughnuts are a must try!!!!! they serve lunch too and the kids love the kid items which include a cookie.

cinotti's always has great pastries and cookies. my mom stopped in and got some for our family christmas gathering. everyone thought they were "too pretty to eat" but once we did, we were glad we did because they were delicious! also, i'm not really apumpkinfan, but thepumpkindoughnuts were so good. perfect amount of glaze.

for this review we welcome a guest writer:  brittny lowrey was raised in mississippi and attended lsu.  at an early age she became an expert eater of southern and cajun soul food.  she moved to jacksonville in 2010 to manage a day spa in arlington.  her favorite foods are shrimp and grits and macaroni and cheese.  in her free time, she loves to travel with her fiance, read, and cook. follower her on  instagram fall brings about natural cravings for everything pumpkin, spice, andpumpkinspice flavored and cinotti’s has a big answer for those cravings. cinotti’s bakery on penman is an incredible bakery year round. they’ve been open in jacksonville since 1964 and moved from 1 st street to penman in 1990. we’ve sampled all sorts of their savory and sweet treats. however, their seasonalpumpkinspice donuts have taken jacksonville by storm. so much so, this year after a 30 day frenzy causing countdown, they actually held a midnight release party for their donuts! they are sold out every day by the mid morning, so after this review leaves the need forpumpkindonuts in your soul, you’ll need to call and preorder a dozen or two.  if you don’t live in the area, they actually have an etsy shop where you can order all their seasonal fare and have it shipped. cinottis – choc and glazed donuts on this visit, we sampled theirpumpkinspice donuts, chocolate glazed donuts, original glazed donuts, and their coconut cake. i called to order all these items the day before i was going to pick them up. this is the advisable thing to do forpumpkinspice donuts unless you are going very, very early in the morning.   i think one of the most wonderful things about cinotti’s is the whole atmosphere of the bakery. when i walked in, i was immediately greeted by several members of the staff even t

deeply disappointing. we stopped in on a saturday afternoon since we were at the beach having lunch and i was in the mood for some baked goods. how disappointing! not only were they were out (and had been for quite some time according to the staffer) of thepumpkindoughnuts that everyone raves about, but the onlypumpkinitems they had left were a lone muffin and a harvest cake that was frozen (according to the same staffer). what? plus all of the other shelves throughout the bakery were pretty sparse and of the leftover items nothing looked particularly appetizing. this was our first trip in and probably our last.
