Oksa Cakes

This is best place for cakes, pastries, pierogies and much more. I'm so happy I was able to find in US European style food. I love everything about this place, all homemade hight quality foods. But recently I bought their chicken with black truffle salami. Now it's my favorite!!! Today I came to buy a second one, because last one we finished in couple of days...me and my husband love it! Thank you guys for working hard and making best European food in this area.

First found Oksa's Cakes on Flagler Beach my first trip to this (relatively) quiet part of the coast. This was pre-pandemic. We drove to Flagler from up closer to Jacksonville and just were exploring this part of a quiet beach. Then we made a couple of turns off of the coast road and there was this little place with an open sign and in the window it said "Oksa's Cakes." A quick parking job right in front and walked into heaven! In this small space was a very open and bright area with the displays and counters right along the front of the store. In it were such a profusion of foods representing much of where Oksa and her husband were from, Eastern Europe. Everything we tried (both in the store at lunch and what we took back to our hotel) was incredibly delicious. The quality of the food is so good you realize its a blessing on the little beach town with a profusion of foods, but none like you'll find there. There are a few small tables you can use to eat in house, but most of the people tend to order in advance or walk in, buy and take out. Either way, Oksa is happy to help with how to best serve it at home, or talk to you if there is a few minutes between customers. They are incredibly nice, much like many people I've met over time from Eastern Europe, particularly Poland, Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria. If you want a large family sized portion or just a small one for yourself, she'll cut it to the size you want. But the best thing is to try their pastries cakes, meats and specialties in one portion size until you find what you most like. I have a problem because I haven't yet (2 1/2 years after my first visit- and we go back every visit to this area...it's THAT good), that I don't think about and start salivating. Their take on a Napoleon is much different than Provence's, but just as mind-blowingly delicious!! I hope you can Oksa and her husband and increase your gustatory experiences while reducing your cortisol. I love it here.

Disaster and gross Nothing in there was in date, there were hardly any pastries or good of any sort at all on display but plastic looking rectangle cakes of 3 colors, all small and half cut out, look like they were made days ago. Only one type of bread pastry that was just sitting out and looked like it had been for days. I decided to get the borsche. It wasn't awful but no bread was to be had. In a bakery.. and I was given some sort of cream cheese that was old and unrefrigerated. Glad i didn't eat it. The man behind the counter hardly spoke English and was extremely unfriendly. It was the worst experience I've had in this town yet. Find somewhere else.

Excellent new artisan bakery. Serves breakfast and lunch. Small but interesting menu. Everything is house-made. Pastries are beautiful to look at and excellent. We tried four flavors of the. 8-10 available macarons and all were delicious. Brought home apple cake, also very good. Nice variety of cakes and tortes. Friendly service. Limited seating indoors, no outdoor seating. Located in a small center with Russian Food and Salon Lalique. Limited parking but street parking usually available. Only two blocks from the beach.
