Absolutely fabulous!…read more A local boutique, Tenley Dietrich carries this chocolate or I would have never heard of it! It is phenomenal! I am a huge fan of dark chocolate, as a matter of fact it's the only chocolate I eat because there is something so decadent and rich about it. This chocolate is the creme de la Creme! They will let you sample most/all? flavors. They have different origins and it's so interesting doing a taste test and really tuning in to all of the flavors and how special and unique the qualities are! They also have delicious coffee, matcha, hot teas and pastries located next to but within the same establishment. Everyone that works here is so friendly and helpful! I love that they have a quaint outdoor area as well as seats by the window. I like to sit somewhere different each time and the vibe totally changes. Come grab a bite and something to sip on while reading a book or catching up with a friend or two! Perfect spot

My wife and I stopped by on a Saturday for a tour of the candy making facility, where we learned a lot about how the chocolates and other candies are made, and we were even able to design and enjoy our own custom chocolate bar. This place has everything that a fan of sweets and fun can enjoy - retro candy, a colorful environment, and enthusiastic staff. From our tour with Joy, our complimentary sea salt caramel from Barbara, everybody on staff provided a joyous afternoon. The tour is highly recommended, where you'll get to see how the product is made, and even get to see one of the original Golden tickets from the original Wonka movie. Pricing for the tour is very reasonable, and it's a great way to spend an afternoon. Parking was easy right around the corner from the front entrance. If you're in the Jacksonville area, this is a fun event for people of all ages!

It felt like a lot of Indians with no clear chief. The tour starts in the chocolate room, gotta love that! Chocolate covered chips, cookies, marshmallows and fudge all around. The restaurant was filled with dirty tables, the bar was in disarray. The food portions looked small however at least it kept coming out! The owners family has been in the candy business for years and he still works there everyday, that's awesome! :)) I'm glad we checked it out. Thank you Sweet Petes! You can trust me, I am a candy eating American. ;D

Who doesn't love a good treat on sunny days? I stopped in here to try the Dubai Gelato. They were…read moreadvertising it with a huge sign outside. I ordered it but they were out of strawberries. So, I used the black berry sorbet as a substitute. Customer service was basic. I would've have expected them to offer the desert with some sort of discount since technically they didn't have all the ingredients. Nevertheless, it was still tasteful. I also liked the complimentary chocolate covered popcorn. They offer an array of treats but are very pricey. The "non" experimental Dubai Gelato (calling it that because it was missing the real ingredient) was $16 alone. I don't recall seeing prices listed and hasn't prepared for that. Overall, its a nice place for a pick me up kind of treat/day.

This place needs some serious spotlight as it has a cafe attached and the chocolate item look amazing. Think of the brother sister duo that was sold out and then think this place.

Definitely will come back for more cookies.

It met all of my needs while on vacation. Thank you, Goldie

It's the kind of coffee shop where you can grab a great cup of coffee, sit down for a bit, and actually enjoy the atmosphere. The space feels modern but relaxed, making it a nice spot whether you're meeting a friend, catching up on some work, or just taking a break from the day. The coffee here is excellent. You can tell they take their beans and roasting seriously. The espresso drinks are smooth, rich, and full of flavor without being overly bitter. They also have a nice selection of specialty drinks if you're in the mood to try something a little different. They offer a good variety of breakfast items and pastries as well, which pair perfectly with the coffee. Everything tastes fresh and well prepared--simple but done right. Another thing I appreciated was the friendly service. The staff is welcoming and efficient, and the overall energy of the place feels very positive. It's also convenient that they have a drive-thru if you're in a hurry. All in all, Brass Tacks Coffee is one of those local spots that keeps people coming back. Great coffee, good food, and a relaxed environment make it an easy recommendation if you're in the Jacksonville Southside area.
