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. 👌“

“Gorgeous atmosphere! Yummy coffee, I tried the Sweet Potato Coffee and it was surprisingly delicious!“

“Love this spot so much! The staff is amazing, super caring and know you personally. You feel at home. Not to even mention the coffee and food. 10 out of 10 for everything.“

“There’s not a time that I traveled to Jacksonville but I don’t make a point to come here. I’m here with the skills event for my students and I walked 2 miles just so I could have this now. I have to walk 2 miles back and it’s more than worth it.“

“EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!!!“

“love this place. the owners are very nice!“

“I attended the 99 balloons and it was an amazing experience thank you happy brew the work you do is amazing, thank you for letting me be a part of it !“

“Brittany was amazing! The Fall Oat Boy is delicious. Brittany was kind and informative. I had never been here before and she helped me pick out my first drink. The vibe in the shop is modern/earth forward with pretty plants on the back wall and modern finishes. Love this new spot!“

“My peeps (batista extraordinaires), Ana & Brenton, at locally and veteran owned Social Grounds Coffee Roasters on Main and 7th in Springfield! These people see me at least 4x a week and are so nice, caring, funny, and very personable. They make grest coffee & lattes! Forget Starbucks, Elianoes, Dutch Bros., Southern Grounds, & Foxtail. THIS is the place for great & AFFORDABLE coffee! They're LGBTQ+ inclusive too! I love this place & these people! And hey, they actually have a TEACHER DISCOUNT here! Thanks for the respect & honor you bestow on us teachers!“

“This is such a cute Cuban coffee shop. Everything I have tried so far has been great. If you like spice, take a chance on their Island Spice latte. It is full of flavor, with a nice kick to it.“

“Highly recommended. Good coffee. Super friendly and fast.“

“Only stopped in for coffee and pastry with a friend. Espresso chip brownie was sweeter than I liked but dense and fudgy. Chocolate croissant was delightful but would have benefitted from being warmed. We had a pair of cappuccinos that arrived lukewarm and a drip coffee that was perfect. Space is wide open and on the communal side, a bit echo-ey making conversations hard to hear. Service was excellent.“

“Tried tonight for first time..so good!! We had the hummus/pitas then chicken kabob platter with saffron rice & salad, beef tangine with saffron rice. Everything on point, friendly staff and excellent chefs cooking the food!! A definite go to. A++“

“Nice quiet space to get some work done. I had the gyoza dumplings, you're better off ordering a pastry and a drink. Not a spot to grab food if you're hungry.
I love plants, and they had plenty of them.
The bathroom as clean, which is also important.“

“We were celebrating our anniversary and little did we know all the attentions that we were going to receive. They gave us complimentary drinks, the attentions of Mathew were incredible. The food and drinks were amazing. We truly enjoyed our experience!!“

“The blueberry bread pudding with goat cheese is delish!!!!! Full Stop! But, the shrimp and grits were perfect too! Shrimp cooked just right and the roux was expertly seasoned. Some of the best food I’ve had in a while! 🤌🏼 Oh, did I mention the friendly and prompt waitstaff? Get there! You won’t be disappointed. 😊“

“SUPER addition to the rapidly growing coffee scene in St. Augustine Florida! They make their own coffee! But they’re also a bar and open until 10pm! You need to try their freshly squeezed lemonade! 10/10! Find them on Anastasia Island!“

“This is the cutest coffee shop! My son enjoyed a cotton candy milk with an adorable panda marshmallow on top. I tried the tiramisu and biscoff lattes and they were both delicious. The ube cheesecake and egg tarts are amazing too. The owner is very sweet and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a good experience!“

“ordered some specialty Pokémon ball donuts for our sons birthday & they made our sons day! Not only do they taste AMAZING but they look super cool too! Thank you for making our son’s birthday extra special! ❤️🖤“

“We stumbled on this place last night because we needed to go somewhere to wait for my daughter to get out of a concert. Not wanting a bar or restaurant, we found this coffee shop that was open to 1am. When we pulled up, I immediately felt like I was in Europe. Men sitting outside at tables drinking coffee and talking. When I walked inside and saw the menu, it brought me back to Bosnia and Herzegovina where the drink prices were under $3 for drinks! We asked the owner where he from and learned that he was from Sarajevo, Bosnia. He had been to Medjugorje so we talked about that for a few minutes. I got 2 large hot chai lattes and a big muffin for under $10. The atmosphere was great with lots of college aged students as well as old people my age 😂. There was music outside and art inside. This was the best vibe I got from a coffee shop in a long time. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Came in during the afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was really well made not too sweet and the espresso still came through. Also grabbed one of their cold brew cans to go and it was just as good later. The staff were friendly and my order came out pretty fast even though there were a few people ahead of me.

The place itself has a really nice, relaxed vibe and felt clean and comfortable. It’s the kind of spot that’s easy to pop into whether you’re meeting someone or just need a quick caffeine run. Glad I found it and will be recommending it to friends.“

“Has been my new go to spot in town lately ✌🏼“

“Fast friendly service. I happened thru when there was only 2 cars in line. I ordered 3 drinks and was thru the line and on my way in less than 10 minutes. I will be back. Welcome to the Northside Scooters - happy to have you.“

“Quality of food and drinks“

“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“

“I just want to share how amazing this young beautiful lady was (didn't catch her name). I accidentally came a minute after closing . First time at Red Owl. Had just finished my laundry up the street and wanted an iced coffee. She gave it to me for free! Almost brought tears to my eyes how nice she was. And it's delicious ! I'll be coming back! DURING BUSINESS HOURS! (My apologies)

So grateful , Great person💜“

“Amazing treats and a great atmosphere. Give them a try!“

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

“Stopped in Town Center location to buy fresh roasted beans for new espresso machine. Great customer service, loved the beans i selected. The Columbia was the most delicious coffee I ever drank. We will be regulars.“

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

“First visit to Parkwood Coffee and I hope more San Marco residents discover this gem! We went on a Tuesday and the pastries had just gotten delivered and were amazing and our coffee was fantastic! Add to this, Michael’s warm and friendly service… what’s not to love??
I heard Michael tell the lady before us that they now carry straws for cold coffee drinks and hope they will consider the toothpick-like to go nozzles for the hot coffee lids (bc I need help to prevent spills;)“

“Really love this cute spot and the variety of options on the menu. Very cozy to spend time in! Would recommend.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dutch Bros to purchase a lot of coffee for work, and I must say, the customer service was exceptional! Zemmoia, Madi, and Laura truly went above and beyond to make my experience delightful. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to accommodate my requests made all the difference.

While I enjoy all three locations, this one has quickly become my favorite. Thanks to Zemmoia, Madi, and Laura's amazing service, they have gained a loyal customer in me.“

“Lovely owner (I’m assuming) explained everything simply and I loved how she interacted with the family who came in after us. The ice cream is SO GOOD. So thick and creamy. Pro tip, keep it simple on the base and go hard on the toppings if you like a lot of toppings. But it’s delicious enough to just get the sweet cream and have it plain! Such a cute shop 10/5 stars“

“I pretty much go here everyday. The workers are so kind, friendly, sweet, and fast. One of them was even kind enough to pay for my drink the day that my Dad passed away (If you happen to see this, thank you again x100). If that doesn't show how much they care about their customers then I don't know what does. I 100% recommend them.“

“I’ve only added coffee in my life over the last few months, and Ellianos is the only place I get it. Now I technically get a dessert (Turtle Freezer with cookie mix base), so can’t comment on standard coffee, but what I get is such a tasty treat. My favorite part of Ellianos is the customer service though. Every single encounter has been a helpful and friendly member of their team. I trust their consistency so much that I went to Ellianos when out of town while visiting with a loved one in the hospital for several days. My first visit the employee was the one that helped me pick the drink and suggested the cookie base, and she happened to be the one this morning that made my birthday treat. And she remembered me from all those months ago. Just an overall good experience with Ellianos. EDIT: They also have pup cups! We made sure to include a visit for one for my little rescue pupper’s gotcha/birthday celebration day with his favorite people, places, and things. They thought he was so cute in his birthday tie and took a pic for their wall.“

“I absolutely love their ordering system. Fast , I also have had the hot latte, hot coffee, frozen coffees, muffins, ham sand. All so very very good and the nicest people off Chaffee road. They always do my hot latte with 3 raw sugars so good.“

“i don’t know who’s back there today, 12/18 @7:30pm, but you cooked this drink UP. it’s soooo good. 10/10 it’s delicious. the staff we spoke to were very friendly and i enjoyed conversing with them! :) i appreciate you guys lots. you make my day<3“

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

“My friend tried one of the soups and usually doesn't like soups that don't have meat in it and she really enjoyed it. I had grits and they were so good. I love they have herbal flavored syrups, I would get rose or lavender in everything if I could 😂👏🏾their prices are pretty fair. It's a little tight but a lot of seating“

“Shoutout to Callie at Dutch Bros! She was super nice and friendly, and honestly made my whole day better. It’s always awesome to be greeted with such a positive attitude and great energy. Customer service like that keeps me coming back ☕💙“

“I have been going here for about 5 years. I love it here, and the outdoor seating is great. The banana matcha they have is the best of anywhere! I love to go and have matcha in the sun. What a vibe. I love this place still after all these years.“

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

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

“Update, We went back to Foxtail the next day.

Tyler waited on us. Outstanding service. He also explains to us that due to the oven they have, it gets way too hot, overcooks the delicate egg, croissant, cheese, until the sandwich is a mess. Can't blame employees for this and we very much appreciated your excellent service Tyler with a smile and explaining the oven situation. Thank you Tyler

My breakfast sandwich on a croissant was smashed flat and wet, pretty darn wet, egg and ham greasy and not in the croissant, inedible. Wasn't even close to the photo on the wall behind the counter. Why is this sandwich served with a wet, flat croissant? Doesn't even resemble a croissant.

The egg and Canadian bacon apparently maybe had cheese on it at one time but it was very liquid cheese under the English Muffin.

When I went to pay with the Foxtail app the employees didn't know how it worked and told me my gift card balance was zero. I knew it had a substantial amount but was asked to prove it!!

Make sure you don't throw away your gift cards when you put them on the app as the value isn't safe apparently if the app has an update.

I had to prove there was gift card value on my app & I did.

I finally found the substantial value in another section of the app and proved to them they needed to figure out how to get it off the app to cover my purchase.“
