<\/p>\nST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 Soft, buttery, and baked daily, cruffins are the star of the menu at Miss Cruffin in Fruit Cove. The pastry shop offers the perfect place to enjoy handheld treats alongside tea, coffee, or refreshing beverages. <\/p>\n
The shop is owned by Miss Kay, a skilled pastry chef who has been working in kitchens since she was 12 years old. After years of training and gaining experience under talented chefs, she decided to open Miss Cruffin in April 2025 to share her passion for baking with the community. <\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I was born in the kitchen,\u201d said Miss Kay. \u201cMy mom baked a lot, I was always next to her. Baking makes me feel relaxed when I feel stressed, when I feel down. I bake not for me, I just want to make somebody eat it and make somebody happy and smile.\u201d<\/p>\n

A cruffin combines the flaky layers of a croissant with the shape of a muffin. Miss Cruffin offers an affordable selection in a variety of flavors, including strawberry cream cheese, cinnamon, and Nutella hazelnut. The menu also features plain or filled croissants, muffins, and savory options such as turkey bacon egg and cheese, caprese, and Cali sandwiches. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a flaky, sweet, elegant pastry filled with seasonal flavor. We try to target all people with fruit, chocolates, and seasonal options,\u201d said Miss Kay. <\/p>\n
Miss Kay says every item is made from scratch using high-quality ingredients to ensure freshness and fluffy texture.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe try to do things natural and simple and delicious. Our purpose is not to sell a lot of desserts, that\u2019s not my goal. We don\u2019t rush the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
