It's not hard to see why Vantage Point Coffee has gotten off to a great start since it opened…read moreearlier this year! It really checks all the boxes I look for when placing one in the stellar category. Things like being well decorated (the walls have a good amount of art and pictures spread throughout and it's not overwhelming), adequate seating, along with a variety of it is as well (there is regular table seating, some soft chairs, and bar style seating near the entrance), the right kind of baristas (courtesy and happy to talk with customers - along with being able to make a solid white mocha latte for me!), and personally, I just enjoy being there. Vantage Point Coffee got off to an outstanding start on all things I look for in a coffee shop, so I stuck around! Well, part of the reason was that a friend of mine who was supposed to meet me here had to canceled, so I took advantage of the time to get pics and talk to two excellent baristas, Presliegh and Zach. Presleigh gave me the low down on what Vantage Point was all about, while Zach and I chatted about sports a bit as we men like to do! Well, here's what I really loved! First, I will say that I'm not crazy about Monin syrup and I usually avoid shops that use it. It's just because of my taste buds, not so much any coffee shop's fault. HOWEVER, when I saw the Ghirardelli dark chocolate syrup on the back counter, it was all over! They let me know that they make their lattes with the dark and white chocolate Ghirardelli syrups! I was all in! I picked the Holiday peppermint mocha frap dark chocolate version. Why am I crazy about Ghirardelli syrups? I first had my lattes with it in San Diego and it's stuck with me since -with no regrets! Presleigh made an outstanding Holiday frap for me. I didn't catch her before the drizzle and the sprinkles were added, but it was ok. I drank every bit of it and WILL return on Christmas week to get that Holiday white chocolate either latte or frap depending on the weather. Of note, The shop was clean and well kept on the counters and seating areas. I really liked that people are informed on how to get on the free WiFi right at the register. At least it makes answering the 50 Yelp questions easier to answer when you try to check in on the app! It is a nice convenience. I would say they might consider lowering the music a little. It was on the border of being loud - just for awareness. Other than that, I was a sugared up very happy hombre on this day! Stop by here and visit! Especially if you love Ghirardelli syrups in your lattes and fraps! Recommend: HIGH

Round Bird Coffee Shop -- After Thoughts…read more Continuing my "JAX COFFEE CRAWL 2025" -- Stop 8 of 10! A familiar spot for any JAX Beach runner -- myself included! Upon entry, the shop remains as inviting as ever. The decor is simple yet clean, offering a crisp, open layout perfect for studying, professional or casual meetings, or just relaxing with your favorite cup of Java. Selection: Caramel Banana Latte (Hot, 12oz -- served in the next size up with oat milk) This drink greeted me with a bold banana-forward flavor accented by smooth caramel tones. The banana syrup gives it a more "grown-up" twist that may not suit everyone's taste, but it definitely makes an impression. While enjoyable, it's not one I'd personally order again -- though still well-crafted. I've visited Round Bird many times and always appreciate their creative coffee offerings and extensive menu of unique flavor combinations. There's no shortage of tempting sweet treats, though I skipped them this round. Rating: or 4 (4 out of 5) Verdict: A well-loved JAX Beach staple -- creative, consistent, and always worth a visit! 10-19-2025

Selection: Banana Bread Latte (Hot, 16oz with oat milk) If banana bread ever took liquid form--this is it! From the first whiff to the final sip, the aroma and flavor perfectly capture that warm, baked goodness. The oat milk adds a creamy depth that complements the banana notes beautifully. I'm usually a 12oz Java connoisseur, but this time I went 16... and still left wanting more! Final Sip: JAX Coffee Company has brewed up lasting memories and easily earns a spot on my "must-return" list. A true MUST TRY for any coffee lover in Jacksonville! .5 (4.5 of 5)

It's a cute, small, family-owned restaurant with so many great options on the menu. I came in today and it was quiet -- which was perfect for me -- but I would absolutely love to see this place booming with people because it truly deserves it. I ordered the chicken caprese omelette, and let me just say... it was one of the best things I've eaten -- and I've dined at a handful of Michelin restaurants. You can literally taste the love that goes into each dish. I'm not sure of the owner's name, but she is so sweet, clearly hardworking, and an amazing cook. I'm truly grateful this café is near my job and offers such delicious, healthy options. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful local spot!

My Cortado was wonderful! It's how I prefer to try a new place because that way I can really compare beans. This was a smooth roast with more of a chocolate overtone than fruity. I really liked it!

When you walk in the owner is often the one to great you, the cash register to the left of the entrance, and a lovely assortment of trinkets to the right. The food itself was nice and light. I enjoyed the Knafeh. We also got an assortment of drinks. My personal favorite was the Salep (like a more savory creamier hot chocolate, hold the chocolate). The masala chai was a decent price for a pot and had a delightful flavor, I've since taken multiple people and a variety of different pallettes enjoy the flavor. This is a great date spot, but also low key enough to just enjoy if you want a place to relax, there's a small bookshelf if you wanted to un plug and read while you enjoy your tea. Ps. The owner is a professional guitarist, my friend who is also a professional musician has a wonderful time chatting with him about their shared passions.

Cute, Vibrant & Such a Unique Experience!…read more Gahwa Cafe was such a cute Turkish coffee spot! I had never experienced Turkish coffee like this before, so it was a whole new experience for me. The owner was so attentive and welcoming, and one of my favorite parts was getting to see him show us how they make the Turkish espresso in hot sand! I had never seen anything like it, and it made the experience feel so much more special. And let me tell you...the Turkish espresso was AMAZING! The flavor was rich, smooth, and honestly just perfect. Definitely my favorite part of the experience. We also tried the pistachio baklava, and it was tasty! The food was good overall. Since this was my first time trying Turkish food, some of the flavors were definitely new to my palate, but I enjoyed getting to try something different. The café itself is vibrant, colorful, and full of character, but when we went, it was just us, so it was also super quiet and peaceful. I really enjoyed the ambience. They even have a hookah area, which adds another fun element to the experience. The only downside for us is that it's pretty far from where we live, so I'm not sure I'd make the trip again just for the café. But if you're already in the area or live nearby, I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

There is seating outside, which is perfect for beautiful, sunny days; but the interior is set up more like a small shopping mart. You pick up a cart and get down to business mixing and matching treats to your flavor profile. I recommend visiting 3-4 times to become more familiar with the offerings as well as to give yourself some grace to try new things. I love that they have packaged treats and gemstones you can hand pick from the window case - this gives newbies a chance to ask questions and order to their hearts content without committing to the unknown. My next visit I'm trying another drink option and pivoting to the savory selection; they don't have the hot case for nothing! The women who were here are so nice and attentive, they're helpful in explaining what things are and what to expect from the pastries. They're also great multitaskers, holding down the café, whilst keeping things in stock, staying on top of bulk orders and tending to the stores needs. Napakahusay
