50 Best Coffee Shops near Downtown Jacksonville

“Brick is an oasis in an otherwise dearth of downtown lunch options. The specials are always on point and varied. The staff is super friendly and very efficient. Doing over 100 lunches daily in this tiny little place without making customers have to wait more than maybe 5 minutes for your food is quite impressive! My only complaint is that I wish they were open on Saturdays so that I don't have to blindly wander the downtown streets in desperate search for a decent lunch.“

“How is this place not rated yet? The other day my husband picked up an Iced Chai for me , then we were in the area again so I was like lets get another because the first one was delicious. Im always looking for a awesome chai experience and Kava delivered. 👌“

“Every month, we take our dog to be groomed, and since it’s quite a drive from our house, we always look for a coffee shop to relax in while we wait. Today, we discovered Sweet Peaches Coffee on Baymeadows Road near San Jose, and what a find it was! The food and drinks were fantastic, and the laid-back yet cool vibe of the place made it an instant favorite. I enjoyed a delicious mocha chiller, while my husband opted for a generously-sized cup of chocolate milk. For breakfast, I had a flavorful sausage, egg, and cheese English muffin, and my husband’s breakfast burrito looked absolutely amazing—he loved it! The service was outstanding—both the barista and the lady who brought out our food greeted us with warm smiles and a very friendly demeanor. We felt genuinely welcomed and appreciated, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The café wasn’t crowded, the seating was super comfortable, and the atmosphere was perfect for unwinding. We’re already planning to come back soon to try their macarons and cupcakes, which looked incredible in the display case. Sweet Peaches Coffee has definitely earned a spot on our list of go-to places. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for great food, great coffee, friendly service, and a relaxing vibe!“

“Love this place! My friends and I meet during the week for a catch up coffee and we love the atmosphere here! The baristas are super nice and the coffee is of course delicious:)“

“I have been wanting to try Biggby but it’s a bit out of the way. Today I made the drive and so glad I did. The coffee was so good. I don’t like sweet stuff so asked for less sweetness and my pumpkin latte was perfect. One of the best I’ve had… and I’ve had a lot! The staff was super friendly and inviting and the food was delicious! Will definitly return.“

“Setlan is the best coffee shop in town! Great location and vibes and even better spro! Check them out for sure!“

“I can’t express how much I enjoy each and every visit I had made so far. I plan to try everything they have on the menu and even the stuff they recommend. Thank you!! Everyone of the employees are amazing! So far I have liked everything that I have ordered except one it wasn’t bad but not for my liking, if that makes sense.“

“? 5-Star Review for Greenhouse Coffee & Bar ?

Greenhouse Coffee and Bar is hands down my favorite spot in town! I go almost daily, and I’m blown away every single time by the top-notch quality and service. Whether it’s the expertly crafted coffee, delicious bites, or their unique cocktails, everything here is done with care and consistency.

What truly sets this place apart is the lush, breathtaking greenhouse of plants surrounding you as you sip and relax—it’s like stepping into a tranquil oasis in the middle of the city. The atmosphere is out of this world, and you instantly feel at peace the moment you walk in.

Knowing they’re a locally owned business makes it even better—I love supporting such a fantastic, community-driven spot that puts so much heart into what they do. If you haven’t been to Greenhouse Coffee and Bar, make it your next stop! Treat yourself to an unforgettable experience, and you’ll see why it’s so easy to keep coming back.“

“Was very pleased with the customer service and the espresso“

“The food was excellent, i definitely recommend, and will be back!!“

“We stopped by over the weekend only because we were too early to be where we needed to be. My youngest daughter has cancer and wasn’t really feeling well. We were sat at a table, thought everything was fine, but she didn’t want the chairs (hip surgery, legs were hurting) So we asked for a high chair and still no, then a booth and she was finally comfortable! I was so overwhelmed but the young women working were being so sweet and without even a second look they were accommodating. We thought our girl wouldn’t eat, but she asked for bacon and she said it was the best bacon! All of our food was amazing, even though we had to speed eat to get to where we needed to be. I really couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative for how we were treated, I was at my breaking point and ended up leaving with a very happy family. Thank you!“

“Best BLT ever! Friendly service and great coffee too!“

“Met a colleague for coffee. As soon as I walked in felt like we stepped into a cafe in Europe. The owner was making the drinks and serving the people there. Mike the owner told us the pastries are made fresh daily. We ordered croissants which were delicious and twice the size as a croissant I typically would have at another cafe. It was a great find.“

“Great family owned place!! Staff and eats/drinks are fabulous ❤️“

“This is my favorite coffee joint but something has changed. I always get cold brews and it always came with the most perfect cold foam and is very tasty. But here lately the last two times I’ve gotten my same order there is no cold foam and just taste like a nasty cup of cold coffee. The only difference I have made is when it was good I was getting it in the evening, and now that I get it in the morning it sucks. Maybe morning crew doesn’t make the drinks how they are supposed to? I don’t know. I will pay $6 for the good coffee anytime but I can’t pay $6 for the nasty one anymore. I really don’t want to hunt for another coffee place.“

“Primera vez comiendo arepas y estaban deliciosas. Excited for the Atlantic Beach location 🙌🏼“

“My favorite donuts in Jacksonville! Storefront in San Marco is bright, clean, and stylish, with a varied selection of coffees, nitro cold brew, RTD/RTG drinks, etc. Donuts are fresh, inventive, and DELICIOUS! There is in excess of one dozen varieties offered on any given day; vegan pastries/donuts included. Standout donut: baklava layered!“

“Awesome concept for an ice cream/coffee shop. The environment was so welcoming and so was the owner and other employees. The price for the quality was completely reasonable and it’s cool because your options for trying different things each time are endless. We will definitely be back.“

“Cool space and people, excellent food and sweets, and the coffee is great. This place is basically perfect.“

“Great coffee and up beat atmosphere“

“Have been wanting to try since opening and finally got a chance to today! Very friendly owner and great fresh donuts in creative flavors. Will definitely be back :)“

“The blended French toast is absolutely phenomenal. The chair by the window on this rainy day was soul satisfying. Thank you for the experience“

“food and the drinks. it's quiet and I like that it is open late.“

“Usually have a good experience. Today was just a strange one. I give the girl my order. She takes my money. Doesn’t offer to give me my change back or ask if I would like to leave it as a tip. Hands me my order and says have a great day. I asked for my change she says oh it right here with a little attitude.“

“Neat spot, great coffee. Pretty strong flat white, I enjoyed it. There is mostly outdoor seating but it’s super nice. The indoor seating is minimal but comfy while waiting. There doesn’t seem to be outlets and there is wifi. Didn’t really know where to park so I ended up parking in a nearby parking garage. Maybe there is a better option.“

“10/10 environment 10/10 taste 10/10 everything!“

“Awesome establishment and great service! Loved the turkey sandwich! Will be back for sure!!“

“Great 😌 made to take small children to play. The iced coffee was good too“

“Best Apfel strudel outside of austria!! Amazing- love this place!!!“

“My wife and I just stopped in the St. Nicholas location and we loved it! This is the Real Deal in Artisan bakery.

Thx Blueberry for a wonderful experience.❤️“

“Beautiful venue, delicious coffee great staff. It was a perfect place to meet with others. Thanks for having us.“

“Highly recommend old soul donuts! They’re made fresh daily and have a huge variety to choose from. Staff was super friendly and the owners are awesome and very involved. Everything we tried was amazing even for my picky boyfriend lol, we will definitely be back! The kolaches are AMAZING and the cronuts were totally worth the hype. 10/10!“

“This place was so amazing. The best buttermilk chicken I’ve ever had. The food quality was top notch. Everyone was so friendly and all the items we ordered were some of the best food I’ve had. The employees were so friendly and attentive. We will be back! Plus, it’s beautiful.“

“Perfect coffee spot to go to in the mornings, their patio area is something else. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vegetarian options: Good choices

Dietary restrictions: Good

Parking: Great

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Nice tô have a starbucks inside target. The only "complaint" is regarding waiting time. It took a little longer than I would say that is acceptable, but other than that it is great.

Parking: Target's parking lot is a little busy, but there are plenty of parking spaces

Wheelchair accessibility: Inside a Target, wide doors and no steps.“

“🥰 Shout out to the drive thru young woman who said "You are so pretty" to me this afternoon. Thanks for making my coffee and my day.“

“I absolutely love this place! I had the Hemmingway Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. It was perfect! The coffee bar was also very good. You must try the bourbon streusel blend! The bomb!“

“Great mom & pop coffee shop with really good breakfast sandwiches (A wide variety, served all day, with multiple gluten free options - love the turkey sausage, egg & cheese sandwich and their GF cinnamon roll in particular), açaí bowls and smoothies. Their cold brew coffee is really good too. Plus they have a drive thru which makes it very convenient. Highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: So many really delicious gluten free options.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. Drive thru makes it even more kid friendly if you’re on the go.“

“THIS IS IN WHOLE FOODS! Kept looking for a storefront initially and couldn't find it then realized once I was in the store Google says it's in whole foods ? so hopefully this helps someone else. Otherwise the service was great - friendly and fast with piping hot tasty coffee at a decent price.“

“Everything was so tasty and beautiful. We were literally seeking a port in a storm as we left Tampa to run from Hurricane Milton with our dog, so there was a lovely covered outdoor area, and we ordered a dish to Smokey the dog.
We felt very welcomed and cared for.“

“Beautiful presentation and everything tasted like it was fresh and made with quality ingredients. The line was long non-stop but the staff get people tbrough efficiently. Thankfully the inside is huge with enough tables and the front is mostly windows which lets in a great amount of light. Had the korean steak bowl, honey bloom latte, and lavender lemon cheesecake sandwich.“

“The best Boba 🧋 plus all the pastries 🥮 yum yum 😋 I recommend everything ❤️“

“The sourdough seems to be their pride although they have so many food options and good drinks. Espresso machine was down when I went sadly but I still enjoyed. Have to come back for their coffee. They also have a small desk with bunch of toys in case you want to bring your kids. Love the service and that they use locally sourced honey, coffee beans, and other services!“

“I would literally live in this place if I could. I moved from Mandarin to the west side of Jacksonville but continue to exclusively shop at this Target. I happily make the 30+ minute drive across the bridge to do any of my shopping. Any trip to Target wouldn't be complete without stopping by Starbucks. I've seen an incredible turnaround in the best way since Chandler took over as manager. The cafe area is spotless and they've never gotten a drink wrong. All of the employees seem so happy and the service is incredible. I actually go out of my way when I'm in the area to go to that Starbucks instead of the stand alone across the street. T, Dom, Kevin, Chandler, Heather and everyone else are all amazing assets to this store. The excellent leadership really shows what a difference treating your employees with respect does. Myself and my two little girls are on a first name basis with most of the baristas. It's really rare to find people that take the time to get to know their customers. They have gone above and beyond for me more times than I can even count on all of my fingers and toes combined. It's really spectacular to see employees that actually enjoy their job and the people that they work with/for. I pass at least 4 Targets and probably 10 Starbucks stores to get to the Southside location, and it's worth it every time. 10/10, best Starbucks in the history of Starbucks.“

“Very good coffee…and snacks.“

“Haven't eaten here since before Covid. How sad, this use to be such a popular spot, always packed. We made reservations for 2, arrived 15 minutes early and were shocked only 4 tables occupied. We were seated immediately, our waiter was very prompt & polite. My husband had the special the sirloin sandwich & crab soup, which he was very pleased; and I had the chicken tacos & salad. Very unusual ground chicken but well seasoned.“
