St Gabriel Bakery

I stopped by St. Gabriel on a Saturday afternoon and was excited to bring my Guatemalan boyfriend here to try some authentic treats he’s been searching for around Jacksonville over the past year. We were greeted warmly and even given a quick tour of the bakery. The space is beautifully decorated, and when I asked about it, the owner shared that his mother actually made all of the decorations for the shop, which I thought was a really special touch. After looking around, I ordered a fresh strawberry blackberry smoothie and the burrata caprese open-face sandwich—both were delicious. The smoothie was also surprisingly large, which I appreciated since I took it to go and enjoyed it on the drive home. My boyfriend ordered the roast beef sandwich, and we decided to sit by the window and eat th

This bakery is amazing. I enjoyed a tasty and affordable dessert here, Pineapple Upside-down cake, and it was delicious. They seem to have a variety of savory and sweet baked goods, though they also begin to run out by midday. I got the last of that cake, for example, at 1pm. I would definitely buy from here when I'm in the area again!

Delightful experience. I was looking for some fresh Italian rolls to make the Italian beef sandwiches with. The two prior stops, which claimed to be bakeries, were more like coffee shops with pastries. I stumbled across this place and was quite pleased with the quality of service and the rolls I took home to complete my dish. Nice small place that I believe is overlooked.

A truly legitimate and wonderful little bakery. The patrons are super nice and friendly and come up to you to help you immediately. The products look fresh and exceptional. The store is very well decorated and very clean. Also, you can see all of the operations on the back which is an excellent touch. There are many offerings you will not find anywhere else. I will be back again.

I came across this lovely little gem tucked in San Jose on TikTok and had to check it out. The origins of the bakery are Guatemalan, but they make all sorts of different cuisines for their baked goods (Italian loaf, sourdough, focaccia, etc). I went later in the day, so they had run out of some of the popular baked goods. But I managed to snag the last Pineapple Upside Down Cake and Custard Croissant — both of which tasted so light and fresh and delicious! The set-up is so cool — you grab a cute wicker basket + tongs near the entrance and then place whatever pastry or breads you want in it and check out at the front. And the service is phenomenal — if it’s your first time in, a worker will give you a personalized rundown of all of their baked goods and how the system works, and make some
