28 Best Cafes near Jacksonville Beach

“If your journey goes through the Jacksonville or you stay there for a while you have chance to get real coffee. It really nice and friendly place, with beautiful pieces of art, gorgeous garden flowers and delicious coffee. Just one thing you should consider, mostly there is a long line here. They take online orders and even there aren’t many people inside you can wait 10-15 min. When you are not in a hurry go there and enjoy your coffee. I like my double shot and cortado👌“

“Serving a wide variety of lunch dishes with some emphasis on German dishes ranging from sausages/wurst, Reubens, but also American club sandwiches, vegetarian options, salads, pita offerings, wraps, heros. Lots to choose from and most dishes are ~$13 or less.

Seat yourself at most locations, then a server will bring menus and serve the table. Payment can be done through a QR code at the table or normally customers take the check to the register and maybe get a little something sweet from the display case or other candy treats.“

“Not sure if this is a hidden gem but maybe an unsung hero? I love bringing out of town guests here for iced tea, pastries, and especially lunch. The flavors are amazing, inventive menu, and a great place to chat with friends or open your laptop“

“I've eaten at a Panera forever but never had a salad. Today I had a reward for free salad so ordered the Balsamic grains and chicken with avocado. It was so large and filling and tasted fabulous. The coffee wasn't very hot so the employee immediately made another pot for me. Staff was very nice.“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“Old school wonderful food.“

“I have been meaning to come here for a while now and decided to use my birthday as the perfect excuse to go on a much needed lunch date with my husband. The quiet and calm vibe was exactly what my mama heart needed. I am more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker so I was excited about trying some tea that wasn’t made in my microwave at home. 🤪 I went with the Boston because I prefer fruity black teas. It was delicious and we ended up drinking the whole pot! For lunch I went with a salad with a scoop of chicken salad and my husband got a salad with a cup of tomato soup. It was all so yummy! This is the perfect place to eat and relax before or after a nice walk on the beach. Will definitely be back!!“

“The food is consistently good, and service is great! My “go-to” place for breakfast or lunch!👏👏👏“

“I stopped by Gahwa Café today, and everything was amazing! The food was delicious, and the coffee was top-notch. The husband and wife who run the place are so sweet and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend this cozy spot for anyone looking for great food and a warm atmosphere.“

“Absolutely incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, the aroma of fresh-baked bread set the tone. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted homemade and crafted with care, especially the whole grain loaf and the cinnamon chip bread. You can tell they use high quality ingredients.

The service was just as impressive. The staff was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, offering great suggestions and samples without rushing. They really made me feel like a valued guest.

As for the ambience, the space was cozy, clean, and full of charm. It had that neighborhood bakery feel that’s hard to find these days. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this location to anyone who loves artisan bread and excellent service. Ira, Dafny, and Emily“

“I love eating at First Watch on Beach Boulevard here in Jacksonville, Florida. The menu variety is great, and I love it when there are new menu items to try!. The staff is super friendly, and the manager greets everyone at the door like he’s an old friend. For a breakfast or lunch that you are sure to enjoy, check out First Watch on Beach Boulevard 😊.“

“I go here every time I am having car worked on down the street. everything is wonderful, prices lower than what you think, friendly staff. everything you want from a local owned diner. If it was closer by I would go daily!“

“If you donate blood, donate at Mayo at their OneBlood office and stop at the Bundy cafe! Nice little cafe to have lunch. The prices are very reasonable and the food is good. Hadn’t been here since before Covid so they changed from a self service cafe to almost full service. You have to order your food in the front, then they bring you your food and pick up your dishes when you’re finished. Also what a beautiful campus to walk around especially right now on a sunny day with the azaleas in full bloom!“

“I've been to many boba places in Jacksonville and this one is my absolute FAVORITE! wonderful drinks and great staff with a comfortable atmosphere! Also the prices are extremely reasonable! They have a huge variety of drinks and the quality is amazing! 10/10 definitely would recommend! We go halfway across the city just to get boba here!“

“Most excellent place. I have dined here multiple times and it has always always been great. Also, if you’re a cream soda fan,like I am, they have it in 2 flavors- pineapple and vanilla. Try the spaghetti pie- you’ll be back for another. Smiles galore with your dining experience.“

“The food is authentic, delicious and great portions and the atmosphere is amazing! The staff especially deserves extra credit. they're hard-working and care about you the customer!“

“The lemon mascarpone pancakes were amazing! Their bacon is always delicious and their eggs are solid. Great service enjoyable meal. I highly recommend it. Their BLT&A, beyond amazing. The first bite ascended me. The best sandwich, no, the best breakfast I ever had. Probably the best meal I ever had.“

“Great food. Great atmosphere.“

“Everything and anything! There is no wrong option“

“No comment. .................❤️“

“Great for a calm place to relax and enjoy a meal.“

“Yo, Panera's is the bomb! The food is delish and healthy, and the vibes are super chill. The prices are totally reasonable too. I hope they never get rid of the sip club, it's the best! And the rewards on the app are awesome, you can use them at any location.“

“The staff here was attentive, I arrived later in the evening and ordered at the kiosk to make my presence easier on the staff, and the food was done promptly. Unfortunately, I didn't check the bag before leaving the restaurant ? I always check the bag.

I checked the bag when I got home realizing one item was missing from my order, I was worried I would be forced to drive back, and I was too tired for all that. I am 100% understanding when it comes to mistakes ? we all make them.

I called the location, explained the situation, and he offered a refund right there over the phone!! Other restaurants not offering this option, I was very satisfied with the service I received, and I got my money back on my card within a few days!“

“For me, the unlimited sips program is amazing. Definitely sign up“

Vegetarian options: Would suggest asking server

Dietary restrictions: Got a chicken salad. Had cheese and bacon in it.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible through nearby parking lot“

“In the measure of any vendor from my 41 years of sales experience is how they fix a problem. I had a take out order from Panera and found it was incorrect. Even, the manager took it upon himself to replace the order and “Door Dash” it to our home, all at his cost. That’s the true measure of a good vendor when something goes wrong. Thank you Even!
