I am a New Orleanian and I have tasted almost every New Orleans bakery's king cake…read more I was VERY pleasantly surprised when I tasted Amaretti's king cake! EVERYTHING about it was sheer perfection! It was flaky and moist, in addition to the perfect amount of delicious icing AND the generous amount of scrumptious cinnamon cream cheese filling! In my opinion, their king cake is an authentic New Orleans style king cake!!

Was down touring a venue and we needed some good coffee, so why not try a new place? On the way to…read moreBJ's to get some gas I happened to look up and see Pour Mike's so instead of coming back and going to Starbies we came here instead. What a cute place to just chill on a Saturday. There was seating outside but we opted to stay inside with the couch, booths, tables, and single seats. We ladies working behind the counter were really friendly. We explained this was our first time in and how we've never had Kookaburra coffee and they gave us the whole run down. I'm glad we came when we did because they had their Spring menu going on and guess what? Lavender!!!!! I love Lavender! I chose the Honey Lavender Latte with Oatmilk, 24oz while my fiancé got a Happy Camper (vanilla, cinnamon, honey) with Almond Milk, 24oz. For food we got the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on a Ciabatta Roll and a Ham and Cheese on a Ciabatta Roll. We were impressed by both sandos as they were really filling and very tasty. The lattes are very bold tasting and definitely needed to be stirred because after that first sip I got a mouthful of syrup. It was fine after that and I ended up having to drink mine throughout the day. I guess I just wanted to savor it. Thanks for making us feel welcome! We'll be back!

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.

Muffins for my kids to split- Gluten free PB- simple PB flavor Mixed Berry- Good, berries towards the bottom but larger Pumpkin Butterscotch- sweet, but still had a great pumpkin flavor and was my daughter ls favorite Unfortunately I didn't get pics of the food unwrapped as everyone was hungry on arrival home.

There was a pretty long line when we got there but it moved very fast. We got two coffees the pumpkin and honey badger both iced and two Aussie pies.

My babe asked me if I could order some coffee for us....at 5pm. Who's still serving coffee at that…read morehour? Apparently 21 Queen Street does and I was able to get it delivered before I got home from work. I ordered the Blood Orange Peach Lemonade, a Butterfly Peaberry Lemonade, and a Hot Americano with Apple, Cinnamon Roll, and Almond Milk. When we got them the labels on the cold drinks were flipped so we started drinking each others. I was actually drinking his Blood Orange Peach Lemonade labeled as the Butterfly Peaberry and he was drinking my Butterfly labeled as the Blood Orange. The Blood Orange was really sweet but still good and he stated the Butterfly Peaberry was subtly sweet and flowery. He drank the Americano but he stated it was bland. That may have been because he drank it the next day. It smelled really good when it was delivered, not sure what happened after that. I'd get them again. They got some other tasty sounding drinks

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!

There are many flavor varieties to choose from and makes it difficult to decide what to get. I tried the Dulce de Leche and loved it so much! The flaky croissant combined with the creamy caramel topping make a perfect combination. I saw the Ube flavor but it was sold out by the time I got there. The cafe also serves savory pastries, sandwiches, coffee, tea and refreshers. I've visited twice and tried the Blueberry Muffin Latte hot & iced. I prefer the hot over the iced because it had more of the blueberry flavor. This place is definitely one of my pit stops whenever I'm in the area!
