I cannot tell you how much I love Community Loaves!!! We just moved to the area a few months ago and this was one of my first finds. THANK GOD!It is such a cozy spot, with awesome vibes, friendly & sweet staff and dont even get me started on their menu π€€π€€ The Murphys Way on a cinnamon raisin bagel is ~the best~
Amazing bakery in a converted historic home. Everything is made from scratch!Cappuccino is YUM. Baked items are the best. Warm homey atmosphere. Best service award from this customer! Immediately fell into a daily habit! Everything is prepared from scratch. Superior Homemade danishes/cakes/bread melt in your mouth. Fresh homemade bagels are irresistible. Everything they serve is above and beyond. Great staff and super ambieance. Home run!
Just recently got the spiced sweet potato latte and egg sammy...to put lightly, it was a match made in heaven. Community loaves is so bright and inviting - even though I dont live in Jax anymore I try to stop by whenever I can. There is something so comforting about fresh bread and hot coffee. Been going for years and will be for many more :)
Beat guava and cheese I have ever had. Perfect dough..perfect amount of each guava and cheese.. I cried knowing I will return to NY and not be able to have it again.. till I return to Jacksonville FL.. it has to be fresh. Same day to appreciate it.. masterpiece!!!π₯Ίπ₯Ί
Absolutely wonderful bakery and restaurant.Nice nice nice folks and a really neat menu. If you are into a healthy twist on real homemade bakery items come give them a try.How does this sound? Avocado on whole wheat bread with smoked salmon.Yum.β€οΈ
A favorite Murray Hill hang out spot. Ever since they expanded, they have a fantastic outdoor seating area. It is a great little spot to meet up for a quick bite and chat with plenty of space for kids to play. I have never gotten the same thing here as I always get what is fresh. I would recommend doing that as well. I have had a few items that were a little salty, but overall it is a great experience.
The pastries at Community loaves are amazing! I am so glad I found this place. Customer Service is excellent! It is my favorite bakery in Jacksonville.π€€ππ₯°
This place is perfection! If you have a hankering for something sweet or salty, or savoryβthis is absolutely the place to be. Not only do you get to indulge in sweets, but you get to enjoy the healthier options that almost feel like youve got a cheat meal. 10/10 a fantastic place for eating and socializing! Outdoor space is like a quaint garden. Enjoy the summer months and eat outdoors.
This place is the place to get fresh sour dough bread. This place makes their customers feel like they are family. The lunch and sweet baked goods made be a hazard to your waist line. But they are soooo good. The pancakes are amazing. I try to get there early in the morning on the day they are open to get the Day Old offering. Try the day old mystery box of pastry. You will not be disappointed.
This place has some of the best tasting and freshest salads and dressings plus amazing baked goods. Everything we got today was so delicious. I am seriously obsessed with the salads and even more so with the homemade dressings.The quiche was a different variety than I am used to with cheese and potatoes but quite tasty. We split the cardamom bun after eating our salads.Previous ventures we have tried strawberry hand pies, Chocolate croissants, zucchini bread, Almond Croissants and the Garlic Rosemary bread. They have also started a small grocery store almost (bodega style) where you can get local produce, milk and dairy products at their window). You canβt go wrong when you stop here!
I love their new location...very nice. The food is great, as usual.
The staff, even though they jam-packed, were nice and accommodating. Nice, new place for a lovely business. Great variety of breads and pastries. Would definitely recommend this place!
Outstanding! Best breakfast sandwich ever! Really cute atmosphere and nice outdoor seating area. Canβt wait to go back!
Please bring back old egg sandwich! This is a pricy sandwich and CL went from using fresh fried eggs to thisβ¦The sandwich was my favorite thing on the menu but I honestly wasnβt able to stomach the new recipeβ¦I do appreciate that they remade it with poached eggs when I said something, but even that wasnt the same. Everything else is excellent! But this reminds me of fast food egg patties, and isnβt the quality I would expect from CL.
Was a perfect spot for a breakfast meeting. Love the gardens & of course the food. Out of salad greens :(
This is our favorite place to purchase fresh baked bread. One of their specialties is sourdough which is worth the trip. Unfortunately the parking has a lot to be desired
Delicious spot for pastries and coffee! They also have good breakfast. Love this little neighborhood bakery!
The best place in Jacksonville for breakfast/brunch/lunch/leftovers! The egg sandwich is unreal and the pastries are always extremely fresh. The owner and the staff take great pride in their work and it shows! Also, the new building is extremely beautiful and has so much character. Itβs hard to find a family friendly place but this one checks all the boxes. Will be back!... weekly.
Always friendly and great service, and the bread and pastries are fantastic. So glad to have them nearby!
Great coffee, delicious food and lovely atmosphere. The staff are kind & gracious people which is so refreshing and makes every visit delightful.
AWESOME pastries. AWESOME bakery!
Best grits ever on Saturday and Sunday. Delicious!
Pricing is inconsistent. Menu outside listed the regular breakfast sandwich at $9. No price listed next to add ons. We ended up paying $16 for a breakfast sandwich... $10 for an egg & cheese sandwich plus $2 add on for onion jam and $4 for sausage links that just slid out of the bread. Double checked the pricing on their website and they have breakfast sandwiches listed at higher cost on the top section of their menu with a duplicated version thatβs cheaper listed just below it? Overall, disappointed for what should have been THE most amazing breakfast sandwich given the price.
Great stuff. Always visit while in Jax. Yummy treats. I can always count on you. The carrot cake was supreme!!!
You know it is very rare that I would be willing to eat at a healthy place like this. I must admit a lot of times health comes at the expense of taste. Not so here.I had an avocado, pesto, hummus sandwich on garlic and rosemary sourdough. I literally know where everything was grown and or raised that was on my plate. It is pretty amazing yet humbling to experience that farm to plate connection. The food is humble yet delicious.Dont go here if you are craving burgers or something, but if you are looking for a quaint yet sophisticated look into healthy restaurant fare this is the place.
I love this bakery! But I just wanted to call out that the egg sammie recently took a turn for the worse. They used to use fresh eggs but recently switched to pre-made egg patties (similar to fast food restaurants). The flavor is not as good, so that is disappointing. Please consider bringing the old recipe back.The coffee, atmosphere, pastries, and everything else at this place is awesome though. My favorite place in Jax!
Very unassuming spot. Rode by several times but the shades always being down kind of put me off. Glad I finally gave it a chance! True, proper sourdough and tasty coffee. Super cool and comfy vibe/layout with a nice outdoor seating area in the back. Friendly staff, too. One of the better bakeries/coffee shops in town and easily the best bread!
This is one of the loveliest spots in Jacksonville. Their bread is delicious. Every time I eat it I cry for an Adkins dieter. If you ever have the time, sit out back and have a long, relaxing lunch. Their garden is beautiful.
Community is a good word to receive this place. You can tell the patrons are locals, and it is a place to meet up. I myself saw an old friend, said hi, and saw many others do the same. The courtyard vibe was relaxed, people shared tables casually. We chatted with a guy about local coffee and breweries. The pastries I ordered were all tasty, I especially liked the dark chocolate croissant. The coffee was excellent. I didnt find out what coffee they used, but I would like to know! Spend a lovely time with a friend here and enjoy the food! It is excellent!
Finally got time to check out the new place, as I drove by it seemed either this business or the Honey business next door, not sure who became the buildings ar connected but I guess this restaurant is involved in the division of our community. As a business that wants to welcome everyone a divisive sign in front of the building doesnt make EVERYONE feel welcomed! Imagine being an American Indian and told its ok to be a slave unless your a black slave. Research what you support and its outcome.
Breakfast was outstanding but took longer than expected to be served but its always busy on Saturday mornings so par for the course.
They always get the specifications of my order right- and their food is delicious!
Stopped in for some fresh bread and was not disappointed. It was a Saturday, so got bakers choice which was an Apple Oat loaf. We were even offered a sample before we committed which just further sealed the deal. Decided to grab some pizza dough to use back home and it was absolutely perfect (restaurant quality.)
Have never dined but have been sampling the loaves!..I think I may start a birthday tradition and get a Bagel with Lox and a Shmear.So far the Olive tyme bread is the best..still sampling..
I will be buying a loaf of sourdough every week from here from now on, it is excellent. They also have the best gingerbread cookie Iβve ever had in my life. π€€
Iβm so in love with this place! The staff are so friendly and helpful. I had an amazing time. Great vegan options! Also, a great place to bring you friends or family for brunch.
I eat here weekly and LOVE it. The staff is friendly, the new location is gorgeous, and food is delicious. I highly recommend this gem in Murray Hill!
Love how friendly the staff is and how tasty the baked goods are. My favorite food to order is the egg sandwich and sub the bagel with a croissant. The everything croissant has bits of cream cheese in it, it makes it so savory! Love their new space and cannot wait to be able to sit in!
Came this morning and tried the quiche and cinnamon bun. I can now confirm they were both the best quiche and cinnamon bun Iβve ever had!! Your staff was extremely friendly during a big morning rush, as well. Wishing you guys a ton of success!! I will definitely be back!
Visited today with a good friend of mine, and I had a lovely time! We ordered the tomato soup with grilled cheese and an apple galette. The food was delicious, the restaurant was squeaky clean, and the employees were welcoming and friendly. I loved the onion jam they put on the sandwich, and the soup was a perfect blend of peppery, sweet, and salty. The apple galette was so delicious, I wanted to eat it all despite my severe allergy (one bite was well worth my slight reaction, though!). Ill definitely be back soon with my family. The sourdough on the sandwich was absolutely perfect, and I have my heart set on trying the rosemary bread next (which smelled like Heaven).
If you havent been to Community Loaves, you ARE missing out! Amazing food, super friendly (authentic) service.
Great food, great coffee, great service!
Delicious as always! ππDisappointed today in that no where to eat. βΉMy thought is more tables need to be added. Perhaps little bistro size. I noticed lots of parties of 2, but sitting at tables meant for 4 or more.Maybe you could use (rent) neighbors back of bldg.area (off your kitchen) area!?π€π
Literally came to an interview for absolutely nothing and the manager was late.
Smoked salmon sandwich very good and reasonably priced.
Great fresh bread
Yesterday was my first trip in since the move..omg I Love The New Place. Ill be here often. Lol ( I wish they would plump down a few comfy chair areas for those who come alone and want to eat, read and drink coffee ..oh speaking of coffee... the latte.. lavender...iced was fantastic. I had two and was cranked up a wee bit when I left lol.I wanted the breakfast bowl but literally rhe last one was served to the sweet woman ahead of me who offered to let me have hers..how freaking sweet is that. If youre reading thsi..thank you but Im glad I passed and let you keep yours so I was pushed to try something new. I got the kale quiche, wow, it was absolutely delightful! This is one of my favorite places for the food but now for the view too. And bring the kitty a treat. :)
Such a nice place !! The food is really good and the people serving is really smiley (even under that &@β¬;)?@ mask) πI love the little outside sitting area and the general atmosphere
This is a great breakfast place! I had their egg sandwich on their fresh bread, so good. Their iced coffee is great. A lot of outdoor seating in a scenic spot.
The food is delicious whether you order from the menu or buy from the case. My favorite bakery items are the chocolate tart and the brown butter chocolate chip cookies. Bread is wonderful also. Service is friendly. I usually pick up to-go but when the dinning room is open, I always see people sitting down.
Bread is good. Salmon sandwich was not. Very little salmon. Not much flavor. Didnt give me a fork to eat the lettuce side.
Very unique experience
First timers- very groove vibe and Delicious bread..
Well itβs nice that the property value has increased on our street since they opened the new building but overall the food choices are not that great and there is no parking specifically for them so some of the employees have to park along the street with no care or concern of whoβs house they block for our own company there is a strip with no houses facing the road they could pull forward about 100 feet so that our guest could park here at the house we pay for but there is no consideration by some of the employees to the people who actually live on the street a little common courtesy would be nice
My whole-wheat and white hybrid sourdough wasso soft and yummy. You get a nice size loaf soCommunity Loaves isnβt stingy. Canβt wait to be a regular for breakfast.
Great fresh baked pastry and sourdough bread.
Get the Mystery Box! Its like unwrapping a gift... (or maybe I like it, remembering the $.05 grab bags from TG&Y when I was a kid.)
Simply amazing. Loved the buns. Breakfast was killer.
Best bakery in town! The rosemary garlic bread is my favorite. The staff are great and everyone is very helpful and friendly!
Pet friendly β€
The best sourdough! Do yourself a favor and get a loaf for some sandwiches, you wonβt regret it β£οΈ
Even though the long table had bread crumbs and paper from the straw due to not being cleaned and wiped out properly, I was amazed of the aroma of the handmade pastries.
Its a very rustic little place with great bread and tasty dishes. They prepare breakfast and lunch. We sat outside in the backyard under the trees at a picnic table, as we were a party of six. Lunch al fresco! Nice!
I love community loaves. Warm inviting atmosphere, friendly service and everything Ive ever ordered is amazing. We love sitting outside in their garden area while we eat.My sister lives nearby and I have to go every time Im in Florida visiting. She even got her wedding cake from them and it was delicious!
Reminds me of the Mom and Pop Patassieres (sp) of France.
Love this place. The back garden is the best place in town to eat your food. Great coffee and even better baked goods. Have recently been diving into the menu items and they all have blown me away so far.
I wouldve give it 5 star, unfortunately we went on Sunday around 1pm and they didnt have much pastries left to try. I tried what they had, which was Cinnamon roll with ram glaze. Crispy, little dry but delicious. Their cappuccino is strong and excellent.Nice garden view on the back and more parking spots kinda behind the building. Review from Aug 11th 2019
This was my first visit but it wont be my last the avocado toast on Rosemary bread is amazing cant wait to try other menu items.
The food was excellent! I had the quiche that came with salad with their house made dressing. It was amazing. We sat in the cute little garden out back. I ended up bringing home a loaf of their house made sourdough bread and a slice of carrot cake. So happy with Community Loaves and will be dining there regularly.
Lovely lunch! Delicious food! Took 2 loaves home.
Lovely place, hometown bakery atmosphere, excellent bread, great pastries, would like to see baguettes on menu.
Community Loaves is the best! Menu is ever changing so you can alway try something new. Bread is so so delicious. Love their specials. A very special location.
This bakery is by far the very best in Jacksonville! We drive from Orange Park weekly. So much to choose from... fine ingredients and perfectly prepared and baked,love itβ€οΈ
Delicious baked goods and a lovely setting. Great spot for lunch
Love the bread
New refurbished building and great food. You dont know Murray Hill if you havent been to Community Loaves.
