SaySoSweets Filipino and Hawaiian Cafe and Bakery - Jacksonville, Florida

SaySoSweets was absolutely fantastic. Where do I begin? It's a quaint brunch place with about six tables for dine in and several easy options for to-go orders. The workers (and I believe possibly an owner, I didn't ask, but I'm guessing) were extremely kind and friendly.
The food was fantastic. I am not very familiar with Hawaiian or Filipino food, and this was a great introduction for me and my wife. We found this place because of a 904 instragram account that promoted SaySoSweets as a great brunch option.
After a very difficult week, I am so grateful that I was able to have a pleasant brunch with my with my wife at this awesome place. Thank you so much! We will definitely be coming back!!

Place is run by awesome folks and greet you right when you come in.
They've got great twist on Filipino desserts and they have Filipino breakfast items on their menu. Do recommend trying their Kona iced coffee, and their ube pancakes with ube ganache 👌

I had this place saved to make sure I visited when I was in town! We decided to grab breakfast here. We were fortunate enough to try their famous Lechon Belly Roll and Tapsilog. The pork belly was tender! I was pleased to know that there was FRESH calamansi juice. There's lots of sweets to take with you on the road. It wasn't too crowded during our visit, but seating is limited. If you've been wanting to try Filipino/Hawaiin foods, this is a great place to start. The menu isn't overwhelming and the owner and staffs are just simply amazing.

The service here was great—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to expectations. While the menu sounded creative and promising, the flavors and execution fell short, especially considering the high prices. I was hoping for more bang for my buck.

I’m writing this review so you can hopefully improve this dish.

I asked for palabok, and she recommended Tita’s Platter, which is pancit bihon, something completely different. (Yeah, I didn’t read the description, so that’s on me, I guess? But maybe next time, DON’T recommend something totally different!)

I was so disappointed. First, I didn’t even get the palabok I originally wanted. Second, the pancit bihon was so bad I wanted to cry. $15 for the whole Tita’s Platter? Absolutely not worth it.

The lumpia was super oily and the halo-halo is average. If you’re craving halo-halo, go somewhere else.

We ended up going to Jollibee instead and got the palabok with Chickenjoy for just $12.99. Way better.

Went there for breakfast and we had the Hawaiian Sliders plate and the French Toast plate and it was very good. Lots of flavor and good portion size. When you walk in, they have several menu items to select from. From breakfast, to bakery and beverage items, it's pretty varied. Space is limited inside so if you are trying to dine in, you may have to wait. Also there isn't an easy access bathroom to get to so you will have to ask the staff to escort you to the restroom. Ambiance is good, staff are extremely friendly and atmosphere is inviting. If you don't pre-order your food you need to be patient because everything is made to order hot and fresh. The bakery items are made fresh daily, and if you like cookies, they have massive size cookies that you must purchase in boxes of 6 ($30). We really like this place and whenever we are back on the beach side of town, we will be back.

Must go! Everything was so flavorful and delicious. Forgot to take pictures of everything but trust us. 🙂 The Ube French Toast was perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft brioche texture in the center - wow!! The chicken adobo was so flavorful along with the rest of our lunch. And the desserts were literally perfection/ bursting with flavor and love the marscapone topping. Service was amazing and Flo is simply the sweetest. Flo and her team clearly care about their customers and put so much love into what they do. Make this a must stop in Jax! You won’t regret it!

This was a great through back for my wife who grew up with most of the food options here. I went right for the spam slider and spam lunch. My wife had the adobo chicken and it was amazingly delicious. The cookies are large and full of flavor. The drinks are delicious and pack of fruity flavors.
