    3rd base with mushrooms and cheese

    Great experience for lunch. Casual spot, great service, food was good. I don't think you will ever use their menu, as being from a cordon blue chef. But there are times when you just want a good steak and a sack, a good burger, or a great sandwich. All of those you will find here along with friendly service , and a clean dining room.

    Baseball themed interior is cute and super clean!

    The food was amazing with great size portions the grits bowls were perfectly done (hard to find great grits in Jax) and they were super nice people who made you feel at home. Great place for breakfast! We will be back our next time in the area!

    Quick little lunch stop. Great wings! Fast genuine kind service. Very polite and nice prices. Great ambience. Tiny spot but well worth returning. We live in orange park but will be back. I can see why they still have 5 stars. For the price. Best banana pudding in jax

    Back Again

    Benchwarmers Diner is one of those Hidden Gems we like to Mention to our foodie friends and anyone who asks about good food in Jacksonville Florida. The Prices are Affordable, and the Portions are Filling too! If you hate being treated like instant family when you walk in the door or being asked if you're enjoying your food by the staff & owner, well you probably won't like it here. I encourage anyone who is looking for a new Spot for Breakfast or Lunch to come to Benchwarmers Cafe and Let them Know Big Rich Sent Ya

    Service is horrible I arrived at 1:45 and the doors were already locked. Never coming back again.

    For what it is, solid service and food. I had the corned beef breakfast bowl which was very good and served promptly. I would not hesitate to come back for breakfast or to try a burger for lunch. It's a classic greasy spoon which is always a better option in my opinion than mass produced fast food.

    Good morning Bookers and lookers.. guess what I found this morning? I found the absolutely awesome breakfast spot in all of Jacksonville, Beachwarmers Cafe! Oo whew! They only open Monday through Friday and close after lunch. The cheesy grits are to die for. My fav is the corn beef hash. No one does it like Beachwarmers. The breakfast simply melts in your mouth. They are located at 3560 Phillips Highway off Emerson. This is no trick but an delectable treat. Indulge yourself!!

    Philly cheese steak & egg pita.  Combo includes tots and drink.

    Big breakfast

This was my first time really giving matcha a fair shot, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. The flavor was earthy and nutty, really smooth and comforting. I personally didn't taste much cherry or vanilla, but the matcha itself was good enough that I didn't mind at all. Service was pretty standard--quick, friendly, and easy, which is exactly what you want when you're grabbing a drink and settling in. What I loved most was the atmosphere. It's such a good mix of people--some working, some chatting, some just enjoying their coffee. There are plenty of outlets, lots of space, and it's definitely one of those spots where you can bring your laptop and actually get things done without feeling awkward or rushed. They also have food if you plan on staying awhile, which is always a plus. Overall, Southern Grounds feels like one of those dependable coffee shops you keep in your rotation--good drinks, comfortable vibes, and a great place to park yourself for a few hours. I'd definitely come back... and yes, I'd order matcha again.

Regardless of where you park, you better be good at 3 point turns and parking bc you will be doing one to get into or out of your parking spot. Upon entering the business, I was greeted and was surprised to learn they serve dark roast coffee this late in the day. The seating area is divided into two sides separated by the counter and kitchen. I opted for a dark roast with cream in a mug. Took my number and looked for a two top table among the mix of high school study groups, after school snacks and business meetings. Coffee came quickly and was hot and bold. No real complaints other than parking.

You have to order inside and then head to a table with your number and the servers will bring it to you. With a party of 5, our food came out in good time and we got an array of items-- from a breakfast croissant sandwich to little pastries, everything was wonderful. Most of us ended up trying their seasonal matcha drink which was a linzer matcha that came with black cherry and a pistachio cold foam. It has a specific taste but I liked it a lot! It's not a mix of flavors I'd normally think of but I ended up finishing my drink which I don't always do, even with matcha drinks. The croissants & bread were fresh and each dish was beautifully plated. I love a dish that both looks good and tastes good and it delivered both. The outdoor patio is covered and a great spot to enjoy your meal if the weather is beautiful and breezy which is was the day we dined here. The inside is also such a cute vibe. Such a great spot and will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

Experience to say the least. Now I know that La Petite Paris is SO GOOD in person at the restaurant. A big part of it being good at delivery is the way the restaurant packs the food. And they did an INCREDIBLE job. Everything was as fresh and tasty as it is in the restaurant. Each meal was packed with care to make sure it arrived safely and didn't fall apart or spill or anything crazy. And... coming in clutch... they wrote the names on each order. It's always tough with like 10+ people to be certain everyone gets the right meal. They made it easy. I also got a latte to go halfway expecting it to be room temp or so when it arrived. But it was still HOT! So they timed things very well. Also really good. Their lattes are always awesome. I had the fig, bleu cheese, and walnuts croissant. It's my favorite thing to order here. And it was fabulous as usual.

This spot has such a cool, effortless vibe, but the heart behind it makes it even better, it's family-owned and operated by a mother and her two daughters. You can really feel that local love the moment you walk in. ​I grabbed their Shakerato, and let me tell you, it's a total game changer. It's essentially an Iced Shaken Cortado, but they level it up with their in-house smoked vanilla. The balance is incredible; you get that bold espresso kick smoothed out by a subtle, smoky sweetness that is pure magic. ​It was frosty, delicious, and absolutely perfect for a warm Jacksonville afternoon. Supporting a local, family-run business while sipping on one of the best iced drinks in the city? That's a win-win.
