If there’s one place I never have to think twice about when it’s lumpia night, it’s A & Manila Bakery. 🥢🔥
Their lumpia lineup hits every craving: beef, pork, pork & shrimp, and veggie. Each one fries up perfectly crisp on the outside with a hot, savory, flavor-packed filling that makes it almost impossible to stop at just one. Whether you’re grabbing a quick dinner or stocking up to share, this spot always delivers comfort and quality in every bite.
📍 A & Manila Bakery

If lumpia is on your dinner rotation, this is a must-know local gem.

@wickedbao , is probably one of my favorite restaurants in the Fernandina area. I found this local Jem a few years ago and I love to visit when I am in the area. The menu is full of delicious items. It's always difficult to pick just one or a few things. Of course, I always start with the Roti Canai. It comes out of the kitchen quickly and it comes hot & fresh. The Curry that is served alongside is flavored perfectly. Their Bao is another good choice. I like the trio because you get a good sampling of their different Bao Flavors. The trio forms with the Fried Chicken, Pork Belly & the Bulgogi. Stop by Wicked when you're in the area. The food is good and the service I'd even better.

When in Orlando, you absolutely must visit @blkroostertaco ! 🌮🔥
Since it’s my birthday, a taco pit-stop was mandatory, and my stomach is officially living its best life. I dived into the achiote pork, smoked beef brisket, crispy fish, and the shrimp & chorizo. Every single bite? Pure perfection.
There’s a reason these are hands-down some of the best tacos in Orlando and yeah, they’re so good they earned a spot in the Michelin guide. If you haven't been to this Mills 50 gem yet, change that immediately. TACOS!!

I was invited out to check out @johnnycubanojax Lounge and let me tell you, for a cigar lounge, they are putting out some SERIOUSLY good food 👏🥩🍤🍸
We started with the Jumbo Chicken Wings. Perfectly crispy and cooked just right. Tried both Buffalo & Lemon Pepper, and the Lemon Pepper easily stole the show for me 👀
The Dynamite Shrimp was another standout. That dynamite sauce took it to a whole different level 🔥
For the mains, we had both the Filet Mignon and the Ribeye, both seasoned well, cooked perfectly medium, and priced surprisingly well. But the Ribeye? That was my winner 🥩🙌
And let’s talk cocktails, they absolutely delivered there too.
If you’re a cigar lover, this place is dangerous. They have a huge selection of cigar brands to choose from.
Not big on cigars? Honestly, same for a lot of people, but their ventilation system is legit. I even did the smoke test when I got home and my clothes had barely any smoke smell.
This is easily one of those hidden gem date night spots. Perfect for date night, celebrations, or just catching up with friends.

Spring flavors at @tikijavajax did NOT disappoint ☕🌴
We stopped by to try two of their seasonal drinks and both were absolute standouts!
🍑 Peaches & Cream (Iced): a smooth, velvety peach cold foam made in-house with real peach purée, then topped with diced sweet peaches and white chocolate shavings. Fresh, creamy, and seriously addictive.
🥥 Toasted Coconut (Hot): sweet coconut + vanilla, finished with real toasted coconut and white chocolate shavings. Warm, cozy, and full of tropical flavor.
Both drinks brought major spring vibes, but that Peaches & Cream might be my new obsession 👀
If you’re in the area, this is definitely a must-try seasonal stop!

Located right on Beach Blvd, it’s a Japanese gastropub that manages to feel both upscale and laid-back. Perfect for a post-beach dinner or a date night.
The menu is a massive level-up, focusing on yakitori, small plates, and some seriously high-quality sushi.
