    The coffee shop is gorgeous and the customer service was great. I tried the black sesame latte as well as their orange blossom. The black sesame was tasty but I found the orange blossom latte very bland. We also got the almond pastry and the banana bread. The banana bread was very good! Overall, I enjoyed Rakia but I don't know that I'll be back. Charging $9 for a basic latte (and charging more for ice) is a bit overkill.. They also don't have a breakfast menu.

    I have to say this coffee shop has some of the nicest staff around. The overall vibe of the store is calm and relaxing, good music is always playing. This is easily one of my favorite coffee shops in Jax. If you get a drink "for here" get ready to fall in love with the glassware and hot cups. My go to order is an iced oat milk latte with brown sugar syrup or Vermont maple syrup and the Salted Maple cream top! So so good! Side note: parking is very limited, patience is key!

    The place looks small from the outside, but it actually has a good amount of space inside. The setup is very basic, but it works. My coffee was just OK, but the latte was great. My biggest issue was the customer service. When a new customer comes in and asks about your specialty drinks--especially ones they haven't heard nor tried before--it's not a good look to have staff in the back rolling their eyes and smirking. I noticed two of the girls doing this. Helpful and polite service goes a long way, and unfortunately, that part of the experience left a negative impression.

    I stopped in after seeing an Instagram post and im glad I did! Although it recently opened it was pretty packed when I went on Sunday. The line moved pretty quickly and it didnt take long for my order to be complete. I asked for both drinks to-go but the accidentally made one for there. Instead of just pouring my drink into a to-go cup they made me another one fresh. I really appreciated that and it shows what kind of business they are. Also the drinks were delicious! I got the Roasted Banana Matcha which was sweet and refreshing. I also got the Orange Blossom Cardamom Latte which had a nice balance of flavors. Overall a great experience and ill definitely be stopping by again!

    Yummo! This spot has delicious coffee from a curated menu, a great minimalist vibe with plenty of seating and plugs for charging. The service was great and my drink was even delivered to me at my seat!

    Had the Strawberry Matcha and Regular Matcha and they were on par with other matchas in the area. You can tell it has rich flavor and good quality matcha. However, very expensive ($8 to $9 without tax and tip) for how much you get. The strawberry matcha had a foam (I believe that was sumac) and it was not good. The strawberry puree was a nice touch without being too sweet. I liked that the matcha was not pre-sweetened, but wished we could have gotten just half sweetness with half the price. The atmosphere has a great study vibe and lots of seating! I liked the music, chairs, and table size too. Especially, being so close to the UNF campus -- great for students to hang out/study. The baristas were both friendly and nice.

    My favorite coffee spot in Jax. It has good sized drinks, the other niche cafes have such tiny cups for expensive prices! My coffee latte was good but the earl grey tea latte was so unique with the tea leaves steeped in the milk and the earl grey cream top. The Black sesame kokuto latte was also really good! They also serve iced teas and a few pastries if you get hungry. Well decorated with a good amount of seating inside, none outdoor.

    It's not hard to see why Vantage Point Coffee has gotten off to a great start since it opened…read moreearlier this year! It really checks all the boxes I look for when placing one in the stellar category. Things like being well decorated (the walls have a good amount of art and pictures spread throughout and it's not overwhelming), adequate seating, along with a variety of it is as well (there is regular table seating, some soft chairs, and bar style seating near the entrance), the right kind of baristas (courtesy and happy to talk with customers - along with being able to make a solid white mocha latte for me!), and personally, I just enjoy being there. Vantage Point Coffee got off to an outstanding start on all things I look for in a coffee shop, so I stuck around! Well, part of the reason was that a friend of mine who was supposed to meet me here had to canceled, so I took advantage of the time to get pics and talk to two excellent baristas, Presliegh and Zach. Presleigh gave me the low down on what Vantage Point was all about, while Zach and I chatted about sports a bit as we men like to do! Well, here's what I really loved! First, I will say that I'm not crazy about Monin syrup and I usually avoid shops that use it. It's just because of my taste buds, not so much any coffee shop's fault. HOWEVER, when I saw the Ghirardelli dark chocolate syrup on the back counter, it was all over! They let me know that they make their lattes with the dark and white chocolate Ghirardelli syrups! I was all in! I picked the Holiday peppermint mocha frap dark chocolate version. Why am I crazy about Ghirardelli syrups? I first had my lattes with it in San Diego and it's stuck with me since -with no regrets! Presleigh made an outstanding Holiday frap for me. I didn't catch her before the drizzle and the sprinkles were added, but it was ok. I drank every bit of it and WILL return on Christmas week to get that Holiday white chocolate either latte or frap depending on the weather. Of note, The shop was clean and well kept on the counters and seating areas. I really liked that people are informed on how to get on the free WiFi right at the register. At least it makes answering the 50 Yelp questions easier to answer when you try to check in on the app! It is a nice convenience. I would say they might consider lowering the music a little. It was on the border of being loud - just for awareness. Other than that, I was a sugared up very happy hombre on this day! Stop by here and visit! Especially if you love Ghirardelli syrups in your lattes and fraps! Recommend: HIGH

I haven't had anything that I didn't enjoy but my heart belongs to the chocolate moose cake and the peach cake and the Portuguese custards. Service is excellent in both locations.

It's advertised as…read morea French-Asian artisan bakery offering a variety of baked goods that rate across the lines of breads, pastries, (awesome looking) cakes, desserts, among other items, including beverages. What I liked is that everything looked fresh, and it seems most of the items I saw leaned toward the French side of the baked goods world with some Asian influence on occasion. I can say that the delicious green tea cake (matcha cloud) I purchased looked French in design and craft, but Asian in flavor. I never had a green tea cake before but this one was pretty amazing. I was told it wasn't overly sweet but good in taste - they were right on both counts! I could eat this one again anytime! The sweetness of the icing and integrity of the cake flavor itself made this joyful experience to eat! I also purchased a grilled two-cheese ham sandwich (croque monsieur) that was very rich in flavor and tender inside, but a little tough along the edges. It was a nice appetizer, nevertheless. I also added two danishes to my order (sweet cheese bluebe) and (Greek yogurt cherry). Both were flavorful, a little lighter in filling than the ones I've experienced at Le Petit Paris. I like that they were silky to chew - no hard edges. Now, there was one key thing missing that really took away the "Cafe" out of the title for a day! That is, as I approached the counter after entering, A sign said "espresso machine broken." I'm not sure how long this has been a problem for this dessert shop, but it fails the test of what a cafe is if you don't have coffee/espresso available! Yes, I remove a star for that. I think this was something Tous les Jours Cafe should have planned for a backup in case of machine failure months ago. Preparedness is the best way to keep your customers satisfied! Especially a coffee-crazed guy like me!! Overall, this is a pleasant shop to visit, laid out nicely for a smaller shop near the food court. Being near the entrance, it's a good place for folks to visit before they visit the main section of Latte Market. I will say service was good. My questions were answered well and it took a little time for the crew to warm up to me. But I have no complaints - only to say that they should treat every customer like your best friend! You never know when a Yelp Elite is talking to you! I will visit here again - do looking forward to visiting the Baymeadows outlet as well. Recommend: MED-HIGH (for now)

Service was quick, we waited maybe not quite 10 Minutes to get all of our food. We ordered the cinnamon roll, French toast and the avocado toast to share and try different things. Egg was perfectly runny and the avocado toast was flavorful. The French toast topped with fruit was perfect- not too heavy or sweet. Cinnamon roll was our dessert and while we probably shouldn't have eaten the whole thing, we managed not to let any go to waste. The strawberry matcha was perfect. It actually tasted like Matcha and not overly heavy on the milk side. Will have to return to try other items on the menu. Everything presented so beautifully.

The Biscoff Cinnamon roll ($6.50) was pleasant, but not up to multiple ones I've had in other places (Baker's Son, Cruffin & Tea, Cinnabon; and the best, first, of those are amazing). I have eclairs ($7 for a small chocolate one) less often, but I though it was below average too. I really liked the setting, though. We got there before noon, and it was uncrowded, which helps. They play nice music. They have upscale bathrooms. Especially good is that we snagged one of two tables near the front that have nice armchairs. So it was a bit like having afternoon tea in an upscale hotel. The service was good too, and I relaxed and enjoyed myself, so I give this place an above-average, 4-star, rating, and look forward to coming again. I just hope we find some pastries we truly like. A negative, unfortunately, is that it's more expensive than many of the pastry shops we go to (e.g. Paris Baguette recently), with many items around $10. If we go back there are too many tempting-looking things to count: classics like Napoleon and Pavlova; a croissant topped with loads of chocolate; desserts in a jar, including chocolate and cherry; truffle cake; salted caramel cheesecake; pistachio/raspberry and Ferrero Rocher tarts; some individual cakes; and desserts wrapped in clear plastic cylinders.
