    The milkiest, void of coffee, vanilla latte I've ever had the displeasure of paying good money for.
    Joe K.

    Bold Bean has been my favorite coffee in Jax for years. After my third recent visit, and the coffee constantly being mostly milk and almost having no coffee flavor, I am done. Sad sad times. Absolutely horrible.

    This is a great coffee shop! A lot of space to sit. Great set up and aesthetics! Coffee was real tasty as well!

    We were looking for a coffee shop on our way to Orlando! We stopped by for a cup of coffee and enjoyed the atmosphere and open concept, however, I didn't love the flavor. The coffee was on the sour side which I'm not used to. Staff were friendly and responsive.

    The coffee is okay but we prefer to just make it at home because it tastes better. The food is also okay but they really need to have a menu for their food items along with prices. I paid just under $7 for a bacon and egg sandwich (ok, reasonable) and $10 for the croissant sandwich that just had sliced meat and cheese, not even a top. Pictured is my $19 breakfast with no drinks or sides. Was not good. Next time we will go to Starbucks

    Bold Bean Coffee Roasters in Riverside is a solid stop for fresh, well-made coffee in a clean, cozy space. The baristas were friendly. Coffee was the highlight for me, though the croissant fell a bit short of expectations.

    If you are looking for a great local coffee shop with a hipster/chill vibe - definitely stop into Bold Bean. I stopped in to grab an iced matcha latte and catch up on some work. I did park on the side street at no cost. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday mid morning however I was able to find a table to sit at. I got a chance to watch the barista make my matcha and I was pretty impressed. Some places I have been to have it pre-made however, she literally took her time to whisk the matcha powder with hot water. It was pretty good as it was paired with almond milk. This was not sweet at all which I enjoyed unlike a lot of commercialized coffee shops. Working here was a great vibe and atmosphere. Everyone was so productive and it just made a perfect afternoon to get tasks completed. They do have free wifi and extended outlets for charging purposes. Whenever I'm in Jax, I will definitely come back to this coffee shop for not only a pick me up but a productive afternoon.

    Very first time coffee drinker friendly! The menu explains the different milk ratios and sizes of cappuccino, macchiato, and latte. There are 5 options for pour overs, with the origins listed. We tried the Burundi Nyagishiru pour over and it has a delicious taste and a richness - not too fruity or floral, and not bitter. The coffee process were also reasonable. There's a lot of seating and beautiful art on the walls. The cappuccino was also well made with an option of all different milks, to include almond, oat, whole, and skim. The parking in the area is street parking and it is free.

    Super cute coffee spot! We ordered vanilla iced lattes, chocolate croissants and cinnamon sugar croissant and mango popsicles! The croissants were delicious. They served them warm. I would have liked for them to pf plated them as I had flakes of pastry all over the table. The coffee was solid. I ordered a medium iced vanilla latte. It came with 2 shots. I personally like a strong latte and next time I come I would order a extra shot in my latte. Mango popsicles were delicious.

    Nice ambience with plenty of room to work or socialize.

    Nice place and good selection of coffee and food. They offer hard boiled eggs at a great price which is nice to pair with the delicious pastries! Would love to see a few creative tea drinks on the menu but overall highly recommend!

    Those black specks in your vanilla latte, are in fact, vanilla bean. Excellent music loud enough to hear so I can Shazam it and take the vibe home with me. Exquisite coffees, best coffee in Jacksonville and top coffee in the world imo. Awesome staff and regulars. Some times a barista strikes out but most of the time they hit a grand slam. Come for the beverage, stay for the buzz!

    Yea

    I have been going to this coffeeshop since 2017 when I moved to Jacksonville. I am not a regular there anymore because I don't live so close to the shop anymore and because I got tired of the poor service. Most baristas don't bother to learn your name or coffee preference. The coffee there is very acidic and give me heartburn (other people I know say the same thing). Today I ordered a tea, light on ice. They charge +$0.25 more for light ice (that is honestly beyond petty in my opinion) because they said you get "more beverage". Well, not really, as you can see in the photo I took as soon as I got the tea, I got 3/4 - maybe half - of a beverage. Please do yourself a favor and don't over-pay for mediocre coffee, lame service and bellow average atmosphere - just go somewhere else.

    My friend and I decided to try this place out based on the reviews on Yelp. It's not far of a walk from the dim sum place, about 15mins maybe. Yes we walked to Bold Bean, from S&R Dimsum, because why not get the exercise in. When we first walked in we were greeted immediately. The service was super nice. Place is modern, peaceful, and had a nice atmosphere. Great place to come study if you need to. I ordered an iced vanilla cappuccino and let's just say, I didn't enjoy it that much. It was ok, not good, but not bad. Overall, great atmosphere, but as for coffee, I don't think I would come back for it.

    Very nice spot! got some lattes with excellent and generous amount of flavoring! their pastries are delicious. quick service. plenty of place to sit inside and also some outside. free parking in the area, amount 1 min walk. great prices and friendly service. croissants are delicious with a crunch outside and soft inside, yummy, could have eaten 2, but can't be doing that, ha. will definitely be back!

    I'm looking for a quiet wifi spot to do work and enjoy a cup of joe... other than Starbucks. How's Bold Bean? Open for any other suggestions!

    Even though it was busy it never got loud while we were there. My husband and I went on a Saturday morning if that helps.

The server was really friendly and recommended some great options for us. We ordered the following: 1) THE QUEEN - classic Venezuelan "chicken salad" with their home-made avocado mayo, cilantro and sliced avocados (also known as the Reina Pepiada). Fresh with a great balance of umami flavors! The cilantro green sauce was an amazing add-on with a little spicy kick! 2) PORKO LOCO - slow cooked pork marinated in red wine with queso blanco. Tender, moist, and very flavorful. Amazing! 3) CACHAPA - soft crispy pancake made with sweet corn and fried cheese in the middle. Flavor bomb of sweet and savory! 4) EMPANADA (BEEF) - tender, shredded beef with great flavor of savory. The dipping sauce was white, tangy, vinegary, creamy with a slight spiciness. Delicious! 5) SOURSOP JUICE - rare to find restaurants with this drink. Ate the actual fruits in my homeland in SE Asia. The juice was milky/creamy, sweet with an earthy taste. Great health benefits eating or drinking soursop -- antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, etc. Other notable item was the Passion Fruit Juice however, I did not try it. My bestie really liked it.

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.

When we ordered, he mumbled back and forth and seemingly didn't understand our relatively simple order, which was a bagel, egg and cheese sandwich and a PBJ on a bagel. My wife also got an iced coffee drink. The man at the counter had an attitude with us the whole time, especially after my wife asked for an iced coffee rather than the hot coffee he served. He was huffing and slamming doors and dishes, and it was really unnerving. The most egregious part was the cost. For the above three items, this man actually charged $31. I didn't even bother to argue with him and just paid the tab. There's no way we weren't overcharged, but I'm equally certain he would have resisted any attempt to examine the bill or gotten angrier... over nothing. We didn't say anything or do anything to this man other than place the order and return the hot coffee, which was his mistake. The whole atmosphere was uncomfortable, and I will strongly recommend no one visit Old Cup cafe. You will be ripped off, or retaliated against, and you will not enjoy the experience. Places like this need to just go out of business, and I can't imagine they're long for this world with so many better and more affordable spots in Avondale. Head to Southern Grounds and avoid Old Cup at all costs.
