    I tried the new Southern Grounds location at Jax Beach and ordered a breakfast sandwich on sourdough (no meat). The food was... fine. Nothing bad, nothing memorable, especially for the hype and prices. The overall experience, though, was pretty rough. Parking was a nightmare (maybe because it was a Saturday morning, but still worth noting). My main issue was the service when ordering. Zero eye contact, no greeting, no "thank you," no receipt... just "here's your total" and a table number. I stood there awkwardly for a second and finally asked, "Uh, all set?" and got a very annoyed "uhhh yeah? you're good." The entire interaction felt dismissive and rude. The cashier was rolling silverware at the register the whole time and clearly couldn't care less. First time I've personally experienced the infamous Gen Z stare, and wow... it's real. Probably won't be back, at least not to this location.

    First of all the service was amazing! When we got there the line was long but you could tell it was a go to spot and that's why! They got through the line and the service was amazing. The food was so good for both my wife and I. Coffee was so tasty and their seasonal collection was great. Would definitely come back again!!

    Ok wow, I LOVE the atmosphere at this new location!!

    Meowza! I love this new location!! There is so much indoor seating and tables of all sizes. I often go to Sogro for a few hours to get work done and sometimes feel bad taking up a whole 4-top when it's busy but that's no issue at this new location. Plenty of bar seating and 2-tops. The food, of course, is so delicious. I have been cautiously optimistic about recent menu changes but so far all the menu updates have been equally, if not more, delicious than what was replaced. My current favorites are: - making my regular coffee and cinnamon toast coffee - the tuscan turkey sandwich - the chickpea side salad

    Came here after a workout class with my friend for lunch. Super cute and they have cute seating outside. I got the Big Fat Greek Pita with pasta salad - both so yummy!

    They have good coffee and their breakfast sandwiches are very good and fresh. It has a very farm to table feel.

    All of the food tasted like frozen food that was reheated. Not freshly made in the premises.

    This place was amazing! After years of driving by and wondering why are all those people waiting…read moreoutside the restaurant, I finally understand! We came for a quick impromptu Taco Tuesday date night, as we were trying to eat at another restaurant near that had a long wait time. We were quoted 20 minutes to be seated when we arrived but were pleasantly surprised when we got the text that our table was ready only after 5 minutes of waiting. The waitress was friendly, and helpful with the menu with us as first timers. Chips, salsa and queso all came out super quick! Better than that, our food came out quick as well! And the food was amazing!!!! I had three tacos ( Blackened Mahi, Blackened Shrimp, & Filet Mignon) that blew my mind. I have been thinking about these tacos ever since I had them, trying to plan my next visit. The margaritas are great as well, not watered down like a lot of these other Mexican spots! Tacolu has a lifetime customer out of me!

    Came in early on a Friday for happy hour & was easily able to find a parking spot (they also have…read morefree valet). We opted to sit by the bar since there were a couple of open spots. The place is EXTREMELY loud, we couldn't hear anything the bartender was saying when she was trying to tell us the happy hour items (and they do not have a happy hour menu you can just read off of) so we ended up ordering full price drinks and food. The couple next to us said the same thing about not able to hear anything as well. Drinks were okay and honestly not worth the full price. We got mojito (tasted mostly just alcohol and not the refreshing flavor that mojitos usually are) and margarita (extremely average and nothing special about it). We also ordered soke tacos - they have a whole vegan section which was amazing. Banging tempeh taco was flavorful and really good. Blacken shrimp tacos were also delicious with lots of flavor. Overall we would come back for a quick bite but would not recommend coming if you want to have any type of conversation while eating or if you want to get a good cocktail.

    It is nicely designed on the interior. However, the low ceiling makes for a noisy experience when it's busy here.

    Came here on a Saturday for bunch & there were no wait time, plenty of parking spaces in the plaza…read more It's a cute open space with a bar at the front and patio area on the side. We were seated inside right away & our server was super sweet and helpful to help us decide what to order. We ordered coffee and orange juice which came out right away. Orange juice was really good although pretty pricy ($6 or small and $9 for large). Also ordered vegan spud stacker which was delicious! They had a pretty big menu that accommodated different dietary restrictions. The portion side was big (I took the rest home so it was really 2 meals) and everything tasted great. Will definitely come back again to try other items in the menu!

    We ended up coming here twice during our trip! Orange Blossoms became our go-to breakfast spot, and…read morethe convenience kept us coming back. First things first: get the fresh squeezed orange juice. It is absolutely incredible and worth the visit alone. The menu is fantastic and they have everything you could want for breakfast. If you're in the mood for comfort food, the biscuits and gravy are phenomenal, some of the best I've had. But they also nail all the classics , French toast, bacon, eggs, you name it. I do have to be honest as a coffee lover, the coffee was a letdown for me. Neither the hot brewed nor the cold brew impressed, so if you're picky about your coffee you may want to manage expectations there. Stick to that fresh OJ though and you won't be sad about it! One major bonus, the restaurant is really big with a lot of seating,and we went on weekdays without ever waiting for a table. In a breakfast spot, that's a big deal. Overall a really solid, reliable breakfast spot. We'll be back next time we're in Jacksonville.
