12-3 BOGO donuts I think they close at 3 so you definitely have to plan ahead to get your dessert here. Yum

For all my New York & New Jersey transplants, Cinotti's is the closest thing to mirror the scratch bakeries you're used to!! Unmatched quality and excellent value for the cost; warm staff that treat you like family, and bonus grounds of Grace coffee. Can't beat Cinotti's!!

Yesterday we headed to Cinottis for their annual launch of the pumpkin donuts. We got there in time for lunch so we all enjoyed sandwiches. The bakery was packed and everyone was excited but the staff were so excited and very welcoming. This is the perfect local hangout at the beach and if you need to order any special cookies, cakes, or pastries this would be the best option for all things Jacksonville.

A small little bakery out-of-the-way but always packed full around lunchtime, delicious sandwiches and helpful counter workers that are absolutely a delight to speak with. Greeted graciously by staff that are always so helpful. Cutest little place to grab some fresh cookies or sandwich at lunchtime always my go to place when visiting my son.

I ordered a carrot cake for my wife's birthday. Delicious! The only thing better is my friend, Jacquie's, homemade version. Ordering and pickup was a breeze.

This place has the best employee in the world. You will walk in and Janet will always greet you with a smile. She was so kind and well hearted I would say without her this place wouldn't be the same. The food was good and the pastries were even better. Towards the end of our meal Janet walks over and clears our table and wipes it down. The whole area is clean and they have good music playing. Over all I would come back and heck if I lived here this would be a weekly thing. You just don't see people like her anymore.

If you've ever asked about specialized cakes , themed cookie artisan ‍ breads, or seasonal doughnuts one name has topped the list and driven the conversation for nearly 100 years in Jacksonville. Cinotti's Bakery on Penman has served tens of thousands of customers over the years providing celebratory sweets for hundreds of birthdays anniversaries, weddings , graduations and any special occasion that you can imagine. The operation employs dozens of busy bodies bustling from one end of the bakery to another. I had waited impatiently for months for the opportunity to visit this confection foundry. What better time than the annual Super Bowl of sweet indulgence Halloween to pay these great folks a visit. I had only sampled some of their delicious cookies and doughnuts when they would bring their whole family to my restaurant and treat my staff to boxes of sweets. Week after week like clockwork on Sunday the Cinotti's crew would come in to Fast Eddy's and damn near clean me out of Motley Chicken Tenders. It's the kind of reward you save for yourself after making 30,000 Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts and God knows how many spooky cookies. Just like advertised there was a line to and out the door when I arrived around 1 o'clock. One lady was keeping folks in line while two others took orders. There are about a half dozen inside tables and as many outside lining the sidewalk. All walks of life filled the tables and waited in line. The whole operation was quite a show and the amount of work being done simultaneously while cooks were preparing ready-to-eat foods was impressive. In addition to the variety of Bakery fare Cinotti's offers a full breakfast and lunch menu. The sandwich lineup was extensive with traditional originals and a build-your-own option. I opted for the Reuben and a large Arnie. The Arnie is a Ham, Salami, Turkey, Roast Beef Provolone Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato Peppers, Onion, Mayo & Mustard Hoagie. I added pepperoni because I'm a psycho. Sides were Potato Salad and Macaroni Salad. For dessert I went Berzerker on spooky cookies for my staff and a few for me. No shit the Reuben was an absolute grand slam home run. Massive slices of Marbled Rye, Grilled Corned Beef, Sauerkraut Swiss, and 1000 Island dressing...you may Substitute Corned Beef for Turkey. As you can see in the picture, the Reuben cheese pull was as spectacular as any pizza pull ever! The Arnie deserves some sort of award for size, value and flavor. Pictured is only one half of this massive meaty creation. It literally took me 4 days to eat this sandwich. No amount of praise for this business would be sufficient. Dozens of some of Jacksonville's most popular restaurants use their bread and desserts. The amount of philanthropy and good will they have shared with this community, particularly with Military , First Responders and Faith based groups is immeasurable through the years. Go taste and see the goodness of Cinotti's for yourself.

Cinotti's is such a Jacksonville staple and I'm not sure why it took us so long to try it! We stopped in on St. Patty's day weekend and they were pumping out orders left and right. Everything from cakes and cookies to biscotti and muffins. Hubby and I picked up a little assortment of treats for the weekend. The thumbprint cookie selection was great. We tried the peanut butter, chocolate and strawberry. All were very good. We also tried a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie that was amazing! The Irish soda bread was super tasty. As was the Easter egg cake. Be sure to check out their kitchenware and gift section. Lots of cute items like coasters, salt & pepper shakers, cups and cocktails in a jar. Next time I want to try one of their yummy looking cupcakes. Until then Cinotti's!

Plenty of parking Staff is lovely Lots of gifts if you just happen to need one. Delicious sandwiches Cookies, muffins, donuts so many choices Good people, they give extra love to first responders. Definitely check it out
