This spot has immaculate vibes,…read morefriendly energy, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to cancel your plans and hang out all day. I went with one of their seasonal drinks. That's Hawt: a datil-infused honey latte topped with bee pollen. First sip hits you with smooth sweetness, then that signature datil heat slowly creeps in and lingers in the best way possible. It's bold, creative, and incredibly well balanced. Even better, it's a collab with Bee Friends Farms, which makes it feel extra thoughtful and local. Customer service was top-tier. Welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to talk about the drinks. You can tell they care about both the craft and the community. Zap Cat is absolutely a place you can settle into, sip something great, and lose track of time. If you're anywhere near Mayport, this one's a must-stop.

(Classic hip hop and neo soul) GREAT SELECTIONS of espressos, by skilled baristas. GREAT SERVERS. There was plenty of good seating, and lots of outlets to plug in your devices. The only thing I wish is that the wood bench seating was cushioned, and the square table tops were slightly bigger, but no biggie.

The name says it all, this place is absolute pie heaven. Tucked away in Atlantic Beach, Pie Heaven…read moreBakery Cafe is quite possibly the cutest, most charming little pie shop you will ever walk into. The staff is warm, genuinely delightful, and makes you feel like a regular from the moment you walk through the door. Now let's talk pie. The coconut cream pie was incredible. The chocolate crème pie was incredible. But the key lime pie, has to be the best key lime pie in all of Florida. It was perfectly balanced, fresh, and exactly what a key lime pie should be. We tried several pies and there wasn't a single miss in the bunch. Every single slice was excellent! If you are anywhere near Atlantic Beach and you love pie, or even if you think you're just a casual pie person, get yourself to Pie Heaven. You will leave happier than you arrived, with a very full stomach and zero regrets.

There was a small patio with two tables in the front. I checked out the boards inside to see what pies were still available. I stopped by at roughly 1 PM. I wanted the coconut pie but that was gone and the employee suggested the coconut custard as she said it was her favorite. So I ordered one slice of coconut custard and a small chicken pot pie. I jumped into the pie after dinner later that evening. Oh my the pie was fabulous! Creamy and sweet with tons of coconut. But not overly sweet. The crust was flaky and delish also. Highly recommend the coconut custard! I waited a few days to heat the chicken pot pie in the oven. She added an instruction sheet in my bag which was helpful. The sheet explained how to heat up the pie as well as how long both the savory and sweet pies last once you take them home. The chicken pot pie was yummy! It was filled with lots of vegetables and plenty of chicken. The inside wasn't runny like most store-bought chicken pot pies but the filling was good! I wish the crust had gotten a little crunchier on the top. But maybe that's because I didn't bake it for three days. You can purchase slices of savory or sweet pies or whole pies. They are no longer taking orders for Thanksgiving but suggested you come by and grab one and freeze it.

Vicious biscuit is an amazing place to indulge in flavorful food in Neptune Beach…read more I recently tried this place on my short trip to Jacksonville and was very glad it was on the way to my hotel in Jax beach. They offer a variety of different biscuits with chicken and other proteins and also have a pretty robust menu with other options. I was impressed immediately with the service as I explained it was my first time visiting and they staff went out of their way to make recommendations! This establishment offers breakfast cocktails, a butter/jam bar and amazing vibes! The portions are huge and the prices match the quality. A must stop if you find yourself in Neptune beach

The acoustics make conversation difficult. Vicious Biscuit - jalapeno biscuit - Thick, pasty. Chicken - good crisp and not dry. Gravy - lacked seasoning and didnt have any maple drizzle:-( Fried Green 'Mater - thick cut and just the right amount of fry on them so they aren't squishy. Breading was light and well-balanced. The shredded pimento cheese spread was top-notch. It was creamy, rich, and flavorful. It sets this side apart from the others. They also have full-size pickled okra that rocks. Chai latte - thin, light, refreshing with an cinnamon accent, borders on a horchata, then the chai pops up. Overall, the visit was pleasant with solid food, but not so amazing that I would drive out of my way to come here again. I have had worse and I have had better.
