The gelato here is very smooth and creamy & there are so many flavors to choose from. I had the banana in a waffle cone. My husband had the chocolate in a cup. We both loved our choices. He actually said it's one of the best chocolate flavors he's ever had. And trust me he's had a lot of chocolate frozen desserts. Art also makes sweet and savory crepes, desserts like tiramisu and cannoli. They serve all kinds of coffees like espresso, hot or ice, Greek coffee, and they even have decaf available. Parking is easy here and if you come with the little ones, there's a little table in the back for them to sit at and color while they have their gelato. I really like the screen they have that shows a video of them making the gelato. This place has only been open a few months. Highly recommend stopping in and supporting them so we can keep small mom and pop businesses like this around Jacksonville.

The service is always warm and genuinely friendly, and they take the time to get to know their customers. It's the kind of place where they remember your name and your favorite order, making every visit feel personal and welcoming. Supporting a local family business that puts so much heart into what they do is an easy choice. Highly recommend! And they also have a truck!!

First time here…read more Staff is super friendly. Store was nice with little games at table. Coffee milkshake was horribly bitter. Staff informed us they use instant coffee to make the milkshake. Hot fudge sundae was nice size but the ice cream had large chunks of ice which indicates either temperature fluctuations or outdated product. Both menu items were inedible. We understand the milkshake is their recipe but, they should inform customer that it's more like an unsweetened coffee rather than a dessert treat. As for the ice cream; we want to believe this was a simple oversight that could have been avoided by performing a daily quality check.

Well well well... we meet again, Hilite!!!! From pop-ups in…read moreJax Beach to a brick-and-mortar in San Marco, this coffee shop really gets around in the best way possible in the 904. I wish I had gotten pictures of their cute tees because they had some GOOD options: tie-dye, Carhartt tees with the Hilite logo, etc; all ranging from $30 to just under $40. I'll definitely be coming back for a tee in the future! Nate and Shan have clearly put the blood, sweat, and happy tears into bringing this coffee and matcha shop to life, and their hard work shows. Hilite is eccentric, creative, and exquisitely yummy. I mean... fresh tiramisu ON TOP of my pumpkin latte?! A snack with my latte? Say less. The caramel banana matcha had chunks of fresh banana puree. Let me modify that... SEXY chunks of banana. You can see exactly what I mean in the video/pics. I wouldn't say I'm the biggest coffee girlie. Of course I like coffee and espresso as much as the next person, but my first choice will almost always be matcha or tea. This morning, though, I suggested Hilite to some visiting family friends from South Georgia and met them here before they headed home. I needed a caffeine boost to get me through my upcoming workout/work day, and WOW. I absolutely loved how flavorful my latte was. Even after sitting on ice for a good 30 minutes, it never tasted watered down or overly milky. That thang was thicccc and juicy in all the right ways. And then there was my matcha... making eyes at me. The banana puree mixed into the matcha?! HEAVEN. She was also thiccc in all the right ways. I never want to order a coffee or tea out and immediately taste nothing but watery milk -- especially when I'm paying for something I could make at home exactly how I like it. At Hilite, you're not going to be sitting there wondering, "Okay... where's the flavor?" Because the flavor is VERY much there. Yes, you'll pay a little more than your average coffee shop, more than Starbucks, but you're also supporting a small business that has worked from the ground up, done the research, and put a ton of thought into what they're serving. And there's something to be said for that. Nate and/or Shan will most likely be at the shop, especially during the week, and they are the sweetest couple. If it's your first visit, they'll walk you through the menu, help you decide what direction to go with your order, and actually take a minute to chat with you. I love the personal touch they put into each customer's order. It makes the experience feel that much more special. The two girls I suggested to try Hilite are from South Georgia -- one is a coffee girlie and the other is a matcha fan -- and BOTH loved what they ordered. They're already talking about coming back to Jax just to try it again. So whether you're a Jax native or just visiting, give Hilite a try; order something spunky
