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!“

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

“We decided to stop in after the Sip and Stroll at the Cummer. I have always wanted to when in the area and finally got a chance tonight! I enjoyed the unique atmosphere and the theme. The plants and decor are very peaceful and relaxing. It gives a calm vibe.

The location offers both a coffee bar and wine bar. You will also find cocktails and mocktails, beer on tap and wine by the bottle.

The food options are small but just enough to sit and enjoy the company with friends and family!!

My friends and I each ordered a drink and sampled the grilled cheese sandwiches!! Our favorite hands down is the kimichi grilled cheese!

I will be back to try other items and recommend you stop in! A great place to meet and just chat.

Ps. You can buy the plants!“

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

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

“came through Friday nite I love the atmosphere and vibe and the drinks I will be back again when I in town“

“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.“

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

“The restaurant was a delight walking in, ambiance was well suited the young ladies at the front we friendly and courteous as well. The appetizers, cocktails and the main meal were fabulous. Our waiter Tyler was exceptionally knowledgeable and was very attentive and quick to take care of our requests. We will definitely be back again to once again enjoy a wonderful night. Thank you all.“

“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!“

“The food is fresh!! Every thing we've had was great. The Queen Arepa and Queen salad --AMAZING. Gyro Platter-- huge and the fries were just wonderful as was everything. TRY IT“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Jessica and Kierra were amazing we weren’t sure which donut we wanted and they explained them all , they were very patient and helped us guide our order. I feel like they’re so many doughnut places but the service here is what stands out. I would come back just based on the customer service we received !“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food, can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely LOVE Playa Bowls! The many different types of bases for the bowls is definitely a game changer. The customer service is always great, no matter who’s working.

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!“

“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.“

“My wife and I were completely perplexed during our dinner at Bazille. We walked by a completely full Tommy Bahama bar, where the food is average at best, at 6:30 to get to our reservation. Upon arrival, I realized a reservation was not necessary, as there were only about four other tables full an no one at the bar. This was a Saturday night?? Notwithstanding, we commenced to have one of the best dinners we have enjoyed at the Town Center in a very long time. The cocktails, apps and entries were all excellent. Service was great and vibe is cool in the space. Perhaps the location on the second floor of Nordstrom doesn't help, but if you have not been to Bazille, you are missing a hidden gem at the Town Center.“

“One of the best matcha latte's I've had! I was looking for a good matcha and I stumbled across a comment on one of the Facebook food pages recommending ground level coffee. I work next door so I walked over and omg they were so right! I have found my new daily spot!“

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

“The staff was very friendly the one lady that helped take my order was so friendly and had great customer service... She should definitely promotedShe could definitely be a manager or something more as friendly as she isThanks for all the great work you have done and will continue to do SarahYour doing a amazing job ????“

“Condaxis is the best and our coffee forever . Service and product are both excellent A+“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love First Watch. The food here is so good that the big problem you’re going to have is decision fatigue because everything on the menu looks amazing and when it hits your table, it is amazing. Check out that summer menu. The burrito on that thing is insane. I had the avocado toast because I was in the mood for a light breakfast, but I saw someone order that burrito and it’s huge with spectacular presentation. The millionaire bacon here is probably the best bacon I’ve ever eaten. I am never disappointed when I eat at First Watch.“

“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.“
