Yum-yum. When we pulled up and saw the Sunday brunch line, I was a little hesitant to stay, but since I was a guest, I hopped in line with my hosts. It was delicious! I had a mint tea that was to die for and the pancakes were better than an average pancake. We sat outside and it was great. Sometimes, customers outside get lost in the shuffle but not here. Will be back!

The best coffee shop! Cutest little courtyard, delicious coffee, and the staff is so kind

Had a nice cup of coffee with a friend. The employees seemed disconnected from what they're job should be which is helping customers enjoy a potentially nice experience. Maybe next time.

Ordered a turmeric latte, which cost me about 7 dollars. The latte arrived in a large coffee cup, and it was filled to the brim. Overall, it tasted good. There's sufficient space to work on ones computer inside and outside; however, there are limited electrical outlets and the wifi network and password are not apparent. This restaurant is pet friendly, so if eating in proximity to dogs makes you cringe, then this might not be the place for you. Notwithstanding, I only witnessed pets outside the restaurant. The vibe was calm and tropical, the workers were kind, and I plan to return.

Update: I've been back several times and visited three locations. I think the beach location is the most relaxing for a date or get together with friends. I've enjoyed inside and outdoor dining at each of the three locations. Note, the location by the train tracks is quite noisy when trains are passing, but it is fun to watch the trains up close. All of the locations have an artsy chill vibe, and I of course appreciate their ability to prepare tasty food that accommodates my many food allergies. I've had the gluten free blueberry muffin, grilled goat cheese (substitute gluten free bread), hot chocolate, strawberry lemonade, and a few other menu items. Everything is always tasty, but these items are my favorites. Original Post: Googled hot cocoa Jacksonville FL, and this place delivered! We ordered 2 hot cocoas and 2 grilled goat cheese hot sandwich (one with gluten free bread). Everything was delicious. The hot cocoa comes in a big round mug and has homemade whipped cream, marshmallows, and chocolate drizzle. It's dessert in a mug, and the perfect coffee house beverage for the non-coffee drinker. The grilled goat cheese is a fantastic twist on the traditional grilled cheese sandwich. The sweetness of the fig preserves blends well with the salty creamy flavors of the goat cheese and melty gooey provalone. My husband enjoyed the Walnut bread and I had it on gluten-free bread (allergy). We will be back! 😀

This place was clean, lots of different spaces to sit inside or outside. The coffee was delicious and pretty, I got the lock and cream cheese, and it was fantastic. My husband got the burrito, and he wasn't a fan of it, and our 4 year old had the strawberry smoothie and cookies, which she devoured quickly. Overall, I will definitely be back! I highly recommend giving it a try!

Always excited to go but usually disappointed by the coffee which is always watery, if you ask for milk or cream it is never easily accessible, and any dessert items I or my friends have ordered have been less than fresh, dry or bland. It's a popular place, but the last three times we regretted going because the service is also lackluster even with a 20% tip to literally just pay at the register.

Coffee was good, they have a nice selection. The espresso brownie was a bit pricy, but come on... It could have fed a family of 4. I, of course, ate the whole thing

This was highly recommended by family in the area. We got coffee and some treats for later (after a beach sunrise). The staff was nice. Bathroom is across the outdoor eating area in the back.

A great bean shop with plenty of outdoor tables and chairs to relax, unwind, or work. Free wifi.

A little pricey but not uncommon for this area. Nice cozy courtyard and good food and drink.

Excellent quality coffee. Didn't see Oatley oat milk so I went with real milk. The baked goods are very nice- creative and unique. We really liked their lavender pecan bar, and the guava cream puff. Pricey but worth it. I wouldn't get their breakfast sandwiches again, the cheese was just plain American and they were pretty meager with filling.

I just got a strawberry and banana smoothie here. It tasted so artificial!! It tastes like there isn’t even a single real ingredient in this drink! Also, it was five dollars more than it should have been. They should have paid me to get this drink. Overall, not a great experience.

Chill, relaxed atmosphere, solid coffee, good place to relax or escape from the daily rush to get some work done or study.

We went for coffee, the coffee is good. My only issue is I like my coffee in a mug when I'm dining in, not in a paper cup. I couldn't get my coffee in a mug there. If you don't care about the cup it's a good place for coffee.

Placed an order to go for two breakfast sandwiches, it was a little slow to come out. Maybe 15+ minutes standing up by the register waiting. But to be honest it was a sunny Sunday around mid day. They were just busy. Totally worth the wait though. The food tasted freshly cooked and cooked well. Just know when peak times are.
