If you come here at peak times, parking can be a…read morebit problematic and if you're not a whiz when parallel parking...you may have to circle the block a few times. The exterior is clean and simple. When you walk in, it's clean, simple, and a bit Chip and Joanna-esque, which I love. I was quickly greeted and told I could sit anywhere. I was given a menu and their drink menu. After being off coffee for a week, I saw that they make their own coffee syrups, so I got an iced decaf almond milk latte with their salted caramel syrup. While I waited, I looked over the menu. I really wanted to try the french toast or the waffle, but opted for the bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant and cup of their cheese grits. The latte came out quickly and tasted exquisite. Sometimes you get decaf and it tastes watery, but not this latte. My friend ordered a salad with grilled chicken on top. Everythign came out quickly. The first thing I noticed were the cheese grits. They were delicious. Rich, creamy, and flavorful. Get them. The bacon egg and cheese on a croissant was also really good. They sell coffee at their shop to bring home.

It was amazing, as was the pasta salad that accompanied it. I can't wait to come back for breakfast, which is served any time they are open. It's a super cute little spot that is worth a visit if you're in the area!

We ordered the Toffee Crush specialty latte as well as the Dubai Chocolate latte and both were really good. They also have merch, coffee beans, and local honey for sale. I didn't try the baked goods this time, but they had breakfast items available and everything looked great. Such a wonderful stop for coffee, especially if you're already walking or sightseeing along the river. I'd absolutely come back.

Well, up front......that was stupid and short sighted of me. Today was my first time visiting Palatka Coffee and I'm impressed. I will not repeat my oversights of the past!!!! Fast friendly service. Small unpretentious store front offering really good coffee and tea options with a selection of really tasty made to order as well as grab-n-go breakfast sandwiches along with some baked goods. I think I've found my Palatka Coffee shop...... Give it a try.... I'll be back.

I am a long-time customer and fan of Dunkin'. In fact, I have been coming to Dunkin' as far back as…read morewhen they were called Dunkin' Donuts, lol. Regardless of what you want to call this iconic business, you really cannot go wrong. Dunkin' has grown considerably since Bill Rosenberg opened the first location in Quincy, Massachusetts back in 1950. The company has since expanded to somewhere around thirteen thousand locations in over forty countries. I would say that Dunkin' is best known for their donuts (though if you would like, you can spell it doughnuts) and coffee, though my go-to here is neither. My usual order at a Dunkin' is probably their bagels with cream cheese. While I would never say that Dunkin' has the best bagels with cream cheese (I grew up in New Jersey and I know great bagels), they are pretty good, especially when you consider that the bagels are coming from a global chain. I have often used Dunkin' (or if you prefer, Dunkin' Donuts) as a co-conspirator in bringing a culinary bribe of coffee and donuts to early morning meetings. There is nothing like some coffee and donuts to help inspire a bit more attention and maybe the wisp of a smile upon the tired faces of the various teams that I am meeting with. The ambiance is what you would expect from a Dunkin' (or if you prefer, Dunkin' Donuts). Whatever you choose to go with, you cannot go wrong with anything that you order at Dunkin'. Overall, I will give this location five stars and they definitely have my recommendation.

This Dunkin is the nicer of the two in the area with a way more spacious parking lot, cleaner and…read morebright seating area and amply staffed. Its location is right on the corner of the road leading in and out of town so it gets pretty busy. They keep things moving efficiently, however. I came with my family for a quick breakfast before heading out on a Saturday morning. Around 8, there was a huge drive thru line but the wait inside wasn't long. Very clean seating area and restrooms. Service was friendly although they didn't hear one item of our order and we had to go back up and re-order. That happens... Even if you're on the other end of town, it's worth making the drive to this location and enjoy the bright and spacious interior, quick service and efficient location.

The biscuit was buttery and flaky, and my oat milk latte was silky smooth. The Red Velvet muffin was A-MAZ-ING! They clearly care about the details. But let's talk about the real MVP: the cinnamon rolls(not pictured) we ordered a half dozen to take with us for Thanksgiving (will post). Oh. My. Goodness. Huge, gooey, with that perfect cream cheese icing that's not overly sweet. I'm not exaggerating when I say these alone are worth the drive from St. Augustine or Palatka. Near Hastings, do yourself a favor and stop in. Support this sweet local spot--This place is is 10/10!
