The pimento cheese was a nice alternative, not offered at most breakfast places on a sandwich. I could eat this once a week! The Island girl coffee was perfect. All my favorite flavors in a coffee.

If you're looking for a solid local coffee spot on the Southside, Brass Tacks Coffee is definitely…read moreworth a visit. This place has a cool, laid-back vibe the moment you walk in. 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.

I'm always looking for a new coffee spot to try, and this time I may have found a new regular spot…read morefor days I go into the office! I got the lucky bomb coffee which was vanilla, cream, and espresso. Pretty basic recipe but a GOAT coffee beverage. Most of their menu items seem pretty basic, and it's not an enormous menu. And I love this! They know what they do well, and they keep that up! The service was wonderful and my coffee came out super fast! And fun little add-on, they have some drip coffee and small cups so you can sip a little while you wait. Have a little coffee while you wait for your coffee! A coffee lovers dream. It seems like it would be a lovely place to sit a sip for a few minutes, but I just took mine to go this time. Their pastries also look great but weren't in the cards for me today. I did have my eye on some ube items, so looking forward to those on my next visit!

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

Best matcha in Jacksonville, not an exaggeration…read more They use their own matcha, the drinks are always so good, and the vibe here is always so chill. Their mango matcha is what i had in these photos, and it's one of my favorites - it doesn't taste like straight mango, and you can still taste the matcha. My girlfriend got the coconut cloud matcha. I don't like coconut products, but this was pretty good. Service here is always great. Staff is nice, drinks get out fast. There's a bunch of table games, so whether you're waiting for your drink or chilling there for a bit, there's stuff to do. The place is aesthetically appealing too.

The pumpkin spice flavor was really good, but I did find myself wishing the matcha flavor came through a bit more. But I've heard that the flavor comes through a lot better with some of the fruit flavors like blueberry or mango, so I would definitely come again. Their Earl grey matcha also looks so good, but they were unfortunately out that day, so that's another one I can't wait to try.

Luckily there was brown sugar on the table for me to lighten the taste. Their pastry options are unique comparing to other coffee spots.
