Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice…

As our countdown to Pumpkin Donuts rolls on, we are busy preparing our signature Spice mixture that will go into many of our autumn products. The combination of spices is a tightly held family secret formula and has been dubbed a ‘Pumpkin Spice’ paradise by many of our customers. And while this Pumpkin Spice may be nice, we are often asked why we don’t begin our pumpkin season when the ‘other guys’ start theirs.

The answer is simple.

Tradition.

Pumpkin Spice is our autumn treat

It seems as soon as the school year begins, stores line their shelves with Halloween costumes, Christmas décor, and of course, pumpkin spiced EVERYTHING. And while we love each holiday, we can also appreciate the importance of slowing down to enjoy the final days of summer.

We regard the tradition of decorating for Christmas after Thanksgiving just as much as we favor filling our shelves with pumpkin spice in autumn. This hard held tradition is a major reason we choose to hold off on anything pumpkin related until the end of September.

The traditional start date for our Pumpkin Donuts has always been the last Friday in September. This year, we will roll out the delicious bites of pumpkin goodness September 27.

Pumpkin Donuts

We have spent years perfecting the best flavors to create a one of a kind donut that is unmatched. If you’ve never experienced the taste of our secret spice blend, you are certainly in for a treat on September 27.

You can pre-order them to be rolled in a cinnamon-sugar blend or enjoy the traditional glazed pumpkin donuts.

Pumpkin Donut Premier

If you’re really in a rush to try these tasty bites, join us for our one-hour premier at midnight on September 27. We open our doors from 12:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. on September 27 to give die-hard Pumpkin Donut fans the opportunity to enjoy the first batch of donuts for the 2019 season.

In recent years, the crowds have grown, the excitement has grown, and the love of pumpkin spice has grown.

If you’re up for a good time at your local neighborhood bakery, we invite you to come on down. Our midnight premier is truly a fun experience for everyone.

Other Pumpkin Spice Products

Pumpkin Donuts aren’t our only pumpkin spice infused item during the autumn months. We produce a variety of products such as Harvest Rings, Pumpkin Muffins, Pumpkin Nut Breads, Spice Cake, Spice Cupcakes, and of course, Pumpkin Pie.

Harvest Rings

Our Harvest Ring is similar to a Bundt Cake. We add our special blend of spices to this pumpkin cake and bake it to perfection. Then we drizzle a thin glaze over the entire cake while it’s still warm to seal all the warm pumpkin flavor inside.

Pumpkin Muffins and Pumpkin Nut Bread

For a quick morning breakfast or a light afternoon snack, our Pumpkin Muffins or Nut Bread can be the perfect item. Each bite of the muffin or nut bread will be bursting with pumpkin and spice flavors.

Spice Cake and Spice Cupcakes

For something a little less pumpkin-y and a little more spice-y, take home a Spice Cake or Spice Cupcake. This is sure to be a flavor you can certainly enjoy all season. We infuse our delicious vanilla cake with ample amounts of our signature spice blend. Our decorators then cover and fill the cake with generous helpings of our homemade cream cheese icing before sprinkling our spice mix around the edges. 

Pumpkin Pie

The pie that started it all…

Our Pumpkin Pie has been around longer than any of the Pumpkin Spice products listed above. We have been making this pie with our signature spice blend that has remained a family favorite for more than 30 years. No matter if you top it with whipped cream or simply grab a fork and eat it straight from the pan, our Pumpkin Pie can be just what you need after a long day.

Pumpkin Spice is worth the wait

We hope you will join us for another amazing pumpkin season. No matter if you’re joining in the Pumpkin Donut fun, grab a Pumpkin Muffin or Nut Bread, bring a smile to someone with a Spice Cupcake, or simply grab a fork and dig into a Pumpkin Pie, we hope you enjoy each and every bite of our homemade goodies.

As always, we make our products on site using the best ingredients. We use non-GMO flour and never add preservatives or chemicals of any kind to our products.

Our philosophy is simple: If we wouldn’t serve it to our family, we won’t serve it to yours.

Thank you for your continued support of our family business.

Birthday Celebrations for Michelle Cinotti Vining!

Birthday Celebrations for Michelle Cinotti Vining!

Birthday Celebrations for Michelle Cinotti Vining!

 

Would it shock you to realize our family LOVES birthday celebrations? Last week, we celebrated our very own Michelle Cinotti Vining! Her birthday was August 20, and we are so grateful to everyone who celebrated her.  

While some folks enjoy birthday celebrations that include resting and relaxing on the beach or by the pool, Michelle spent her day at her second home…the volleyball court.

Anyone who knows Michelle, knows she never misses a chance to support her children in their sporting events. And while we all spent the evening cheering along with her, we wanted to come up with another way honor Michelle and the work she does.

Michelle’s birthday celebrations

 

Most of you know Michelle’s daughter was diagnosed with Type I diabetes three years ago.

It was a scary time in all our lives but we are ever-reliant on God to guide our walk. There have been many ups and downs over this short time period and some super close calls.

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has been instrumental in helping Michelle, her daughter, and the entire family cope, learn, and treat this disease.

In an effort to help other’s managing the effects of Type I, Michelle would like to raise awareness of juvenile diabetes. JDRF is an amazing organization that develops better treatment and testing equipment as well as advocates for government action.

Their mission is to find a cure and end Type I diabetes.

How can you help?

 

If you have been affected by Type I diabetes, or you know someone who has, you can certainly help. Sometimes, simply listening as a mother airs out her frustrations can be the best thing in the world. You can also learn more about juvenile diabetes to know what to watch for and what to avoid.

You can also help aid in the research for a cure.

If you’d like to learn more about the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or if you’d like to make a donation toward their incredible research, we encourage you to look them up. Even the smallest of donations can help find cure for this disease that affects more than 1.25 million Americans.

Thank you!

 

We hope you will join us as Michelle celebrates another trip around the sun.

Teacher Gifts All Year Long

Teacher Gifts All Year Long!

The school year has just begun but it’s never too early to start showing your appreciation for the men and women who pour into our children. Teacher gifts in the form of volunteer hours or teacher supplies can be a major help in almost any classroom.

But what about a gift in a sweeter form? 

Gifts for your child’s teacher can be in the form of a weekly treat for well-behaved students or even for those who meet their reading requirements. Some teacher gifts can be more personal, such as a personalized cookie or their favorite cupcake.

Cookies for the class

Bringing cookies to your child’s classroom may be a great way to show your appreciation to the teacher…provided you’ve cleared it with them ahead of time. When the classwork becomes mundane, a small treat in the form of an M & M cookie can be just what the entire class needs. Just be sure to bring enough for the teacher to have a couple as well.

Favorite cupcakes

Does your child’s teacher have a favorite food or dessert? A great way to build a rapport with anyone is through food. And what better way to get to know your child’s teacher than with a cupcake?

As the year progresses and your relationship with your child’s teacher grows, you can discover what they like and don’t like. Some teachers love chocolate while others don’t. You may find out about a favorite restaurant a teacher frequents every Friday morning. No matter what it is, finding a teacher gift that is perfect doesn’t have to be difficult.

Personalized cookies

“A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” –Dale Carnegie

We’ve made teacher gifts for more than 20 years. One of the most popular gift year after year is a personalized cookie. No matter if it’s a simple design or elaborate details, add a special message or the teacher’s name to a cookie. When you go the extra mile and show your child’s teacher how much you appreciate all they do it can be the added boost they need.

Staff and teacher gifts

The school as a whole is responsible for the care of your child. Don’t forget to thank them for their hard work! Bring an assortment of donuts or a tray of cookies on a random day just to say ‘thank you.’ Sometimes, even the smallest of things can go a long way in rejuvenating an entire faculty.

Ingredients and food allergies

There are some schools and classrooms which don’t allow outside foods due to allergies or ingredient concerns. It’s important to note: we are NOT a peanut-free facility. We have ingredient lists on our website for iced cookies and some everyday cookies, however, we always stress to error on the side of caution when serving any foods containing potential allergens.

As always, we appreciate you and continue to be grateful to be a part of your celebrations. We are most happy to assist you in planning your teacher gifts for this school year.

Thank you.

Back to School…Again!

Back to School Time Again

It’s back to school time again and we’re so excited! We LOVE seeing all the fresh faced, mostly smiling children before and after school. While you have been scrambling to get school pens and pencils, new clothing and shoes, and those cute little notebooks with puppies or kittens on them, we’ve been busy little bees getting ready for you.

Back to school time means that most of our customers will return to their regular morning habit of stopping in for a quick bite, coffee, or even a special donut for your littles. To help make your mornings run a little smoother, we’re highlighting some quick and generally healthy breakfast and lunch ideas.

Breakfast

Every parent experiences some sort of morning rush throughout the school year- especially in the first weeks of back to school time. No matter if it’s a case of a silent alarm clock, a bad hair day, or even those pesky shoes that go missing overnight, sometimes just getting everyone out the door before the school bell rings is an accomplishment.

We’ve all been there.

Some of us have set up camp there…just saying.

That’s another topic for another day. So, to ease your morning stress and to help you fuel your children before school, we’ve put together a list of some of our most popular breakfast items.

Breakfast Sandwich

Our breakfast sandwiches are made with freshly cracked eggs and homemade bread. You can add your choice of meat including ham, turkey, bacon, or sausage. Add cheese if you’d like. We offer American, Swiss, Provolone, and Cheddar.

Want some veggies mixed in? Just ask.  

If you’re running short on time, give us a call ahead of time. That way, your breakfast sandwich can be hot and ready when you walk through our doors.

Donuts & Danish

A donut may not provide the protein that a breakfast sandwich does, but it will provide energy for your child to start their school day. We offer over 20 varieties of donuts on a daily basis. And if we don’t have what your little angel wants, we will do our best to whip one up.

Cheese pockets are among our most popular Danish in the morning. And other Danish such as apple or pecan, provide a little more protein as well as energy. Our daily Danish variety includes cherry, blueberry, lemon, and meltaway.

Parents, don’t forget your own needs. We have hot coffee brewing all morning long. And after you drop your littles off, swing back in to reward yourself with a treat.

Lunch

Do you know we also offer cold sandwiches in the morning?

If you’re low on time or even sandwich supplies, we can make your child’s school sandwich while you eat breakfast. Ham and cheese, turkey and cheese, even peanut butter and jelly can all be ready by the time you leave for school. If you call ahead, you’ll have time to pick out a cookie too.

Fletcher Lunch

For more than 11 years, we’ve created a special menu for high school students and teachers. This menu is designed to be quick, easy, and affordable. This tradition will carry on this year as well. If you’re a Fletcher High School student or teacher, be sure to ask for the Fletcher menu when you come in.

After School Treats

Children coming in for after school treats is a wonderful tradition. It brings us so much joy when little faces light up at the sight of all the cookies in our case. Cookie varieties vary daily, but you can be sure to see sugar cookies, decorated cookies, or one of our everyday cookies in the case any time you come in.

Everyday Teacher Gifts

Teachers like apples, but they LOVE cookies even more. We can’t be 100% sure, but there’s a good chance your child will get a super big smile when they bring a treat from Cinotti’s into the classroom.

Back to School

It’s hard to believe it’s back to school time again. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the commencement of 7 of our employees. 

No matter if you have one celebrating their last year or one whose just beginning their journey, we are here. Come cry over a donut or celebrate with a cupcake.

From breakfast and lunch to school treats and gifts, our team is ready to help you in any way. As always, we sincerely thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family traditions.

Happy Hour at Cinottis…What?

Happy Hour at Cinottis…What?

Happy Hour at Cinottis…

 

Are you aware you can score major deals on our fresh made donuts during Happy Hour?

Yes, you read that right. A bakery can totally have a happy hour.

For an entire summer, you can come in between the hours of 3pm and 5pm Tuesday through Friday and snap up 2 donuts for the price of 1!

This means you can take home more donuts for your family, friends, and neighbors.

Come in during the summer and even get extra helpings of our signature Key Lime flavor too!

Happy Hour Options

 

All available donuts will be included in our Happy Hour pricing.

That means chocolate, blueberry, fritters, and even the favored chocolate sprinkle can find their way into your donut box.

We never compromise quality for quantity which means during Happy Hour you will have the same, high quality donuts we provide every day.

How long will Happy Hour last?

 

While we would LOVE to sell out of donuts by noon during the summer, sometimes, that just doesn’t happen. We strive to watch trends and set our production schedule accordingly, however, some days, the gorgeous summer weather just keeps people away.

When the fall school year approaches, our Happy Hour promotion will come to an end. We will still provide the same great flavors and beautiful designs, but the super awesome price will disappear.

So come see us every Tuesday through Friday between 3pm and 5pm to pick up a few BOGO donuts.

Don’t forget to snap up whatever Summer Deal item is featured either.  

That’s a sugar ton of savings!

The Cinotti’s promise

 

Folks in the Jacksonville Beaches and surrounding areas have been our extended family since 1964. We have strived to provide our community with traditional baked goods made from the best ingredients. Our skilled team of bakers, decorators, and sales staff go above and beyond to continue this tradition.

We are immensely grateful to everyone in our community who continues to support our family dream.

Thank you.

Italian Cream Cake

Italian Cream Cake

Italian Cream Cake

Making Doodle Cinotti an Italian Cream cake for her birthday has been a longstanding tradition in our family. She loves the flavor combination of moist buttermilk layers filled with our cream cheese icing, pecans, and coconut.

You may not have had the opportunity to try this cake in our bakery before. That’s because in year’s past, making this delicious cake has been reserved for solely for Doodle’s birthday that falls at the end of the year while we’re closed for Christmas.

Reasons for the reluctant production of the Italian Cream cake have varied through the years. At one time, increased time and attention required to make each layer was cited for not wanting to add the cake to our menu. Another time, it was decided that demand for the cake wasn’t high enough to warrant production.

The romantics among us believe, however, that Mike Cinotti was hesitant to create this cake because he wanted to reserve the most special cake for his most special lady.

While the Italian Cream cake is still a must-have in December, we are now offering this family favorite to all of our customers–all year long.

What’s so special about an Italian Cream cake?

Every cake has a special meaning to someone. A chocolate cake may remind them of Sunday dinners at their grandmother’s house while Hummingbird cake may bring back memories of the church potluck dinners. Italian Cream cake has that same magical power.

The buttermilk layers are rich and moist and may transport you to a time when life was simple. Where food was safe from harmful chemicals, families gathered together for dinner, and your mom let you lick the spoon full of cake batter. The pecans and coconut folded into the cream cheese icing drive that wholesome image home.

Our Italian Cream cake combines a delicious dense cake with the light cream cheese icing that can be pleasing to almost any guest at your table. And now that we’re offering this classic cake in our store daily, you can begin to create a new set of memories.

How to get an Italian Cream Cake?

We now offer our Italian Cream cake in an eight-inch cake or as single serving cupcakes. For most families or small gatherings, the store size cake is perfect. It can serve between 12 and 15 guests and is a beautiful centerpiece. If you don’t trust yourself around an entire cake, add a few Italian Cream cupcakes into an assortment.

Our talented cake decorators work hard to ensure you have a fresh Italian Cream cake each morning. While we strive to have a fully stocked case each day, we strongly urge everyone to order their cake prior to arrival. If you can’t decide what cake is best, we have friendly staff that can help guide you in finding the best dessert for any occasion.

The Cinotti Promise

Since 1936, the Cinotti name has been associated with quality baked goods. For five generations, we have worked diligently to continue the legacy and create premium products for our community. We pride ourselves on using non-GMO flours, local produce (where available), and sustainably milled ingredients.   

Our entire product line rests on one universal principal:

If we won’t feed it to our family, we will never serve it to yours.
