We stopped in to have some coffee after a group walk this morning. We had some time to kill before lunch. We each had a dirty chai latte and they were delicious! They came out pretty quickly too. The customer service is always incredible here. Everyone is so kind, and their cheerful moods are contagious. I've usually taken my coffee to go, so didn't pay much attention to the seating, but since we hung out today I noticed! There is a good amount of seating of various types. I do like that they have the bar seating in particular as an option. I will always stop by here when I'm in this part of town. Worth the trip every time. read more

Bitty & Beau's Coffee - Chai latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Love their philosophy and the staff are so friendly and sweet. Lots of tables and room to come here for coffee and work remotely. The Tiramisu latte was mediocre, not much flavor so probably won't order again. The sausage eggs and jalapeño biscuit sandwich was pretty mediocre as well. The biscuit was too hard and difficult to chew. I would still return to support the business. read more

I absolutely love this place! Most mornings it's nice and quiet to swing by and get a burrito and use the bathroom after a walk. (Yes, I fully admit that. It allows dogs inside and is cleaner that gas stations or Porto potties but BUY SOMETHING) Most mornings I do get a coffee but I already had my water to drink so enjoy Cooper and I sharing one of the most delicious burritos ever. Ask the staff for their favorites! That's how I found out about the burritos and new things that they try on the menu. Their muffin suggestions are always on point. read more

Great place for coffee, breakfast or a burrito for lunch. I love the nice atmosphere, employees, coffee and food! And I ask myself, why have a not stopped here before?! Because I never slow to smell the roses. They are about to celebrate their 3rd year anniversary! Congratulations! Pros:everything is wonderful here, outside tables as well. Cons: if it peak hour, you might have to be patient to find a parking spot. At this time of day, I found a spot right in the front! Pros: the coffee and ciabatta breakfast sandwich was delicious! read more

While visiting Florida, my sister insisted we make a stop at Bitty & Beau's Coffee--and I'm glad I listened. It was actually in the opposite direction of our travels, but we made the detour anyway. We only planned to grab a quick coffee to go, but before leaving we took time to soak in the atmosphere and learn more about what makes this place so special. No regrets whatsoever. Bitty & Beau's was founded by Amy and Ben Wright, parents of four children--Lillie, Emma Grace, Beau, and Bitty. Lillie has autism, and Bitty and Beau have Down syndrome. After learning that more than 80% of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are unemployed nationwide, the Wrights set out to create a place where people with disabilities are valued, empowered, and given meaningful work. Their solution: a coffee shop built around inclusion, kindness, and an unforgettable staff. The first location opened in Wilmington, NC in January 2016, employing 19 individuals with disabilities--and the mission has only grown from there. The coffee itself was very good, but the heart of this place is what truly stands out. The warmth, pride, and sense of purpose inside the shop is something you feel immediately. This venture really hit home for me. It would have been an incredible place for my brother to work, had circumstances been different. If I lived near a Bitty & Beau's, this would absolutely be a regular stop for me--not just for the coffee, but for what it represents. read more

With a warm smile and greeting as soon as I stepped in the door, I was happy to enjoy a mellow 16oz Americano with the toasted brown sugar syrup with an extra shot of espresso. It served its caffeine purpose and went down easy. The coffee "seasonings," (honey and a bottle of simple cane syrup with a pump) were conveniently placed at the bar. It's really pretty inside and I enjoyed all of the visual declarations of their mission statement. The gold stools are a nice touch with the simplicity of the black chalk interior. read more

Great coffee, great decor, fantastic service, amazing vibes. I ordered the cold brew and my wife ordered a mocha. Both excellent. Charming touches here in regard to the playing cards for your order and the beautiful interior decor. Very zen. The staff were amazing along with the management. Price point is about the same as say Starbucks and the coffee superior. I highly recommend you give this place a try. It will make your day. read more

Whenever I come to JAX this is where I like to get my coffee from. They have great coffees, lattes, frappe's, and they also do serve some eatery items. The mini burritos are pretty tasty. Most important it's warming that they hire people with disabilities which are very friendly and kind unlike many places you go to. From the time you open the door and someone says hello or welcome. It's a great experience. read more

Super sweet workers! Had a very good chai and had fast service! Very nice spot for a coffee break

We came here on a whim for coffee. I'm never really in this area, just due to proximity to where I live, but was excited to try a new-to-me coffee shop. We walked in and were quickly greeted by a gentleman at the register. We decided to order two large iced lattes. He quickly ran me up, I paid, and then was given a playing card (which is used as your pickup item when picking up your coffee). The inside of this location is industrial-esque looking. They have merch, bakery items, and coffee and tea items for purchase. They also have a bunch of tables inside and out. When our order was ready, we grabbed it, got some sugars, and headed back to the car. My first sip was a bit strong for my liking. I will say whatever roast they used for the lattes was super strong. Next time I'll ask for a lighter roast. All in all this was a good experience. read more

Wow!!! let's start with the parking the church around the corner offers complimentary parking - take them up for that!

I ordered the seasonal Iced Strawberry Rose Latte. The strawberry rose latte was a surprising mix of flavors; not exactly what I had in mind, but it threw in some unexpected hints of cherry that made it an interesting try. It did taste a tad bit watered down, but I still enjoyed it. Overall, not what I expected, but it was a fun twist on the regular latte scene. The coffee shop itself has an effortlessly cool vibe with cozy corners and a touch of rustic charm. Overall, the ambiance is just so inviting. The music is not too loud and sets the perfect background for studying. read more

Tip: credit card only. Does not accept cash First time here. Great local coffee shop in San Marco square. Can be busy with a line but it moves quickly. It can be loud so I wouldn't recommend it as a study place but a place for a meeting or hanging out with friends. Has outdoor seating. After you order, they give you a playing card as your order number such as 8 of hearts. It's a cute idea. They sell merchandise in the front like Tshirts, mugs: great idea for gifts. Friendly service. Will be back! read more

First time visiting Bitty & Beau's Coffee, and I'm so glad I did! The black-and-white aesthetic is warm and inviting, with the cutest chalkboard details--especially the framed chalkboard, such a clever touch! What makes this place even more special is its incredible story and mission. The staff is so kind, friendly, and patient, making the experience even better. Plenty of space to sit, relax, or cowork, with lots of outlets for charging. It's a peaceful spot to get some work done or just unwind. Parking is limited out front, but there's plenty of seating inside and outside. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I came across this coffee shop due to my friend's suggestion and I'm so glad I went! I met up with a friend and upon waking in, the shop is so cozy!! Everything was clean and plenty of space to walk around and look at their merchandise! They had shirts, mugs, cups, etc. I learned more about their cause and how their coffee shop is run by people with disabilities. That made me even love and appreciate their shop even more!! As someone with a disability myself (I have tumefactive multiple sclerosis), it really touched my heart in regard to their mission. The customer service was super pleasant and everyone was so sweet and kind! After you place your order, you're given a playing card (like a number/suit of diamonds, spades, clovers, hearts) and when your order is done, they will call your card to pick up your order! I ordered the matcha strawberry iced oat latte, blueberry bagel, and cookies and cream rice crispy treat. Matcha strawberry latte: 9/10- I enjoyed this very much and the sweetness level was perfect for me. They used strawberry syrup and despite it not being real strawberries, it didn't taste artificial at all! The matcha was good quality and wasn't super bitter. I like my matcha drinks where I can actually taste the matcha's earthy and grassy taste. The matcha with the strawberry went together so well. I would absolutely get this again! And it was so cute that the barista wrote a sweet note and drew a star on the cup as well. Made my entire week! Blueberry bagel: 7/10 - it was pretty good but not something super special. It came perfectly toasted with some cream cheese on the side. I like how fresh the bagels were! Cookies and Cream Rice Krispie: 8/10 - pretty huge! I was shocked how big the treat was! You can feed 2 people from one treat! It was pretty delicious, but really sweet! I could only do a few bites before it became too sweet for me. I love how it came wrapped too! Whenever I'm done eating it, I can reseal it and enjoy the rest at another time! They have other items on the menu and I can't wait to try the other goodies as well! Overall, I would definitely come here again! It was such pleasant and wonderful experience! Please come out and support this awesome coffee shop! read more

Love supporting Bitty and Beaus not just because of the delicious coffee and different drinks they have but also because they support individuals with disabilities. I loved their idea and their movement. The coffees are really great! My favorite is the iced lavender latte. I also like their regular latte. Another one we like ordering is the mango smoothie. Perfect for kids too. The service was fast and the staff are really friendly. I loved the vibes and ambiance. It's such a nice place to have coffee/refresher drink when in the area. read more

I love that they have a safe place to work, get to be themselves and show everyone how awesome their superpowers are!!! read more

I have been wanting to visit Bitty & Beau's since they opened. I don't get to the San Marco area often but Friday was the day. I entered the beautiful coffee shop to numerous smiling faces. If you don't know the story of Bitty & Beau's it's amazing. The majority of their staff has physical and mental disabilities. I ordered an Americano and was quickly told that their Cinnamon Rolls were delicious. Who can turn down a great salesmen and an amazing cinnamon roll. No pics were taken of coffee or roll so you will just have to believe me. Thanks for the great hospitality. See you again soon. read more

I knew of the brand and had always wanted to go, but didn't realize they recently added a Florida location! I travel to Jacksonville for work often and am always looking for new spots instead of just Starbucks. Atmosphere upon walking in is phenomenal and welcoming. Staff quickly took my order, gave me a playing card as my order number, and I took a seat. Quick service, a great burrito and coffee, and I was on my way to my next work meeting. The overall concept of Bitty is also the best part. As a neurodivergent young adult, I wish more places were a "human rights movement disguised as a coffee shop". Absolutely go visit! read more

Finally had a chance to visit this highly recommended coffee shop and passion project. The atmosphere is welcoming and the decor is choice! Coffee mugs, aprons, T-shirts and other branded swag filled the long rows of shelves. The barista Michael got my brewed coffee for me and was very friendly. The coffee was delicious! I had a medium blend. So a lot of non-starbucks coffee shops have marked prices and intensely strong almost fruit flavored coffee. Maybe not the best description but it happens often. As a mom, one detail I loved was the high chairs that were available. They also have changing tables in both the men's and women's restroom. (The women's restroom was super clean and pleasant). I was lucky enough to meet Lissie, the owner, and see her engaging with employees and customers. Her heart is certainly in her work and people chatting with her walk away smiling. Can't wait to go back! read more

I have wanted to try out Bitty & Beau's since they opened! My husband and I stopped yesterday and I'm so glad we did! What a great little coffee shop! Lexi took our order at the counter and she did a fantastic job. She was so sweet and welcomed us in. I ordered an iced black coffee and my husband ordered a black coffee hot. I collect diner style mugs so Lexi wrapped that up nicely for us and even slipped in a handwritten postcard. We sat down to wait for our order and had a chat with Coach who was also working behind the counter. Coach asked if we knew the concept behind Bitty & Beau's and I explained that I did and that I had been following the store's opening on social media and through the news. I love the concept, they employ people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This shop not only appreciates them but celebrates their diversity. We're not over in San Marco very often but my husband and I both said we would make a coffee date soon just so we could return!

"A human rights movement disguised as a coffee shop" I love Bitty and Beau's theme, slogan, motto or whatever objective or focus it is aiming for. Quick facts in case you didn't know....Bitty and Beau's Coffee shops are run by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Bitty and Beau's are in 12 states and has about 24 combined locations. So Florida gets its first shop and it sets camp in the city of Jacksonville. That's right....DUUUVAL!!! This is one shop I have been looking forward to checking out. First of.. I love, breathe and bleed coffee. They are located in the busy strip of San Marco. Stepping inside, you get this cool, modern vibe of a coffee shop. We were greeted by Allison. Allison took our order, and she was guided by trainer, Maddie. Allison was such a sweetheart. After placing our order, we were greeted by another worker, "JB". He was super nice. Between the 4 of us of the group I was with, we automatically became "JB fans". And the best part, our coffee was made just right. What is more to ask. This is one shop I pray for great success. Folks, get your asss over here STAT, and give this place some L-O-V-E !!! #SupportLocal #CaffeineNation read more
