    Americano & Matcha latte
    Elisa B.

    A nice little coffee shop with tons of signs outside to bring you in. The barista was really sweet and patient. Giving my husband and I plenty of time to look at the menu and order. Their pastry case was stocked and looked delicious. It is not a huge coffee shop but they do have seating and a bar to sit at as well. I ordered a matcha latte with a lemon poppy seed scone. It came out quick and we had a nice area to sit and enjoy. My only complaint was the bathroom was in a very crammed area and women's bathroom was out of order so I had to use men's bathroom which was a bit dirty. Overall, the coffee and service were amazing.

    Really delicious coffee at this cafe. I enjoyed sitting in to enjoy a coffee and sweet treat for breakfast. The staff were really nice here and quickly served my order. I sat at one of their tables and worked from my laptop. The cafe is located in Springfield. There is ample street parking. Really cute addition to the area.

    We ordered the sausage, egg, & cheese and a latte to go. Once we got on the road we noticed the sandwich had only two tiny pieces of sausage in it (see pic). The coffee was decent. The barista was ok. Coffee: 7/10 Food: 3/10

    Latte and Sampson
    Cara N.

    This place is a must when in Jacksonville. The owner, Jason, is personable and treats you like family. The coffee is amazing, it is clear they know what they're doing. Oh and did I mention the cutest employee, Sampson who is a giant lover boy who will greet you and keep you busy until there's a coffee in your hand. 100/10 experience. We will be back!!

    Chai, carrot Scone

    Great service and finally some amazing Chai in Jacksonville. I had been disappointed by Chai at other coffee shops in Jax till I came here. The carrot scone was also delicious and perfectly baked. Not too noisy and the music isn't too loud.

    Iced matcha oat milk latte with vanilla & lavender

    Food: The apple turnover was approved by my right year old niece. It was warmed up for her! (Thanks a bunch!) On a scale of 1 to 5, she said it was "1000 out of 5!" Lattes were perfect! My twelve year old loved her iced matcha because that's her tester drink lol mine is a lavender latte. Just wanna savor that espresso flavor! Ambiance: The vibe was just mwah! If I wasn't with the kiddos I would have sat here and journaled, or crocheted or worked on some fiction all day! I could get list in time here. They were playing some ethereal, low fi super chill ambient music. Loved it! Social Grounds is cute, quaint, and when I'm in Jax again I'll be sure to patronize this spot again. It was right up my writer/artist/crocheter alley! . Another reviewer giving it to you Straight no chaser! Enjoy!

    Here's my sausage sandwich one egg some cheese and almost non-existent sausage
    Johnny S.

    I called in ahead of time to order my food and coffee and we still had to wait about 10 minutes or so when we got there I got a breakfast sandwich and a chai tea latte and a hazelnut coffee coffee wasn't bad I liked it but the sandwich paid nearly 10 bucks for it and to be honest it needed help and I wasn't expecting a whole lot but I wasn't expecting a little bit either the sandwich itself flavor kind of bland but it was a sausage breakfast sandwich which had like a little bit of sausage.

    Very friendly and happy staff. The food is very fresh and the coffee is fantastic. Nice little spot to spend some time in your day.

    Dirty chai. apple cream cheese danish and cream cheese everything...If one's good twos' gotta be better, right?! ;) all awesome.

    Love them! Great atmosphere! Lovely staff. Amazing treats. Perfect coffee. All of the above...stamp of approval. A company that not only supplies a strong product but a warriors' story. Thank you Jason for your service and all you do. I salute you.

    Spinach Kolache
    Maya C.

    I got their warmed up Spinach Kolache and my favorite Lavender Vanilla (sugar-free) latte with skim milk delivered to my job. The latte was excellent and the kolache was like a cheesy bread bomb of spinach which left me not wanting anything else to eat.

    Lavender Vanilla Latte! Bold espresso flavor, creamy oat milk with a nice hint of lavender married into the vanilla flavor. I think their coffee is even better than the last time I remember it! I love supporting this veteran owned business. The people are always friendly and it's a nice spot to get some work done and be productive

    Latte and drip coffee with banana bread.

    You already know how much I love Social Grounds and this time I chose the quad Latte, that's 4 shots of espresso. No more caffeine after this

    Jennifer L.

    My mom and I stopped here because we read they had lavender flavored syrup for lattes. We were not disappointed! The employee working was very friendly and super helpful. We sat down and waited for our lattes to be made. We fully expected to go up to the counter to get them, when the employer brought them over to us. We thought that was a very nice added touch to the already great service. We also ordered an eclair and kolache. My mom enjoyed her eclair and the warm kolache was the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The atmosphere was nice. We enjoyed sitting and having a cup of coffee together.

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.

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.
