The breakfast burrito with sweet potato and bacon was such a good combination of sweet and salty and was really filling. Even my husband, who normally isn't a big breakfast burrito fan, really enjoyed it! Service was prompt and ambiance was calm and clean. The coffees were also made really well, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely exceeded our expectations and we would absolutely come back!

I was here to go to the bread store. I was early to my eye doctor in the same area, so I decided to…read morego to Mechanism for coffee and breakfast, and then to the bread store afterwards. I saw many delicious looking pastries in a glass container. The breakfast was delicious and it had a great sliced avocado on top. I also tried their Nicaragua coffee-WOW! That was very good and strong coffee. I noticed that there were some regulars coming and going. A large group of men gathered together at one table to have a bible study together. I loved seeing that. I noticed they had a wall of tee shirts and other things for sale. I loved the high ceilings. The decor was nice & cozy. They also had a shelf for pick up meals for drivers and call ins. Pros:they open early for early risers. Great coffee & food and plenty of parking. Cons:none Recommend:absolutely

We really liked that they use single origin coffee unlike Starbucks, lol. The space feels modern yet comfortable, with plenty of windows for people-watching or enjoying the nice weather. They offer both indoor seating and an outdoor patio, making it a great spot to sip your favorite coffee, tea, or espresso. They also have a nice selection of breakfast items, including pastries and muffins that pair perfectly with your drink. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and created a positive atmosphere from the moment we walked in. As an added bonus, they also have a drive-thru if you're in a hurry. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely stop by again.

Alot of people have hyped this spot up, so maybe my expectations were too high, but I overall…read morewasn't impressed by my visit to this bold bean location. On the bright side- the price point was excellent & I enjoyed the small patio outside. Also the matcha was very concentrated & authenticity prepared. Conversely, I would not recommend the chai tea. It was too sweet and simultaneously not very spiced. The other issue I had was that my almond croissant wasn't warmed up at first- so I had to go up a second time & ask for it to be heated. After it was warmed up it was good tho- I loved the aldehyde flavor notes in the filling. Overall? My visit was fine, but nothing special.

I stopped by the new eTown location last week when I saw them post about a latte that sounded…read moreamazing. Not only was the latte fantastic, but so was the breakfast sandwich I paired it with. The new location is stunning and has ample outdoor patio space, so I may have just found your new coffee spot! the drink | Bramble Berry - blackberry latte topped with raspberry cold foam the sandwich | Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Bagel - pork breakfast sausage, 2 over hard eggs, and white cheddar cheese on your choice of bagel (asiago)

Mechanism, congratulations on the second location located in e town! Everyone I encountered at this…read morelocation was extremely friendly, warm and welcoming, including the customers in line with me. And now you are wondering - why 4/5 stars and not 5/5. So, let's get straight into it. Iced chai, location, April specials, customer service, indoor & outdoor vibes, merch, - all 5/5. Price and hours - 3/5. Closing at 2pm - that's hella early to close both locations. Would love to pull up to either location and work remotely. We cannot accomplish this task when a cute and tasty coffee shop with loads of natural lighting closes right after lunch. Real honesty: We love you guys so much we want more of you, that's all. Second - $1 upcharge for oat and almond milk. Guys, why are we still doing this in 2026 - Especially if the price of the drink is already high enough to include a milk swap for those out there who are lactose intolerant. Trust me, most of us aren't trying to be difficult or boujee, we just don't want to be running to the bathroom in your establishment and embarrassing ourselves. I ordered 2 Small iced drinks. With a $2 tip, it came to a lil over $20 and some change. Thats wild if you ask me. I could order a whole meal for twenty bucks. I took my drinks outside on that swagalicious patio though and drank 1/2 of each before peelin out before close. I did enjoy mechanism's cute space for a good 10 mins before leaving. My iced cinnamon chai April special - MF one of the Best chai's I've ever had! No joke. This girl had some kick! She was spicy and I liked it! Loads of flavor. Iced lucky latte: I would not order again but was a very cute and fun try with the lucky charms on top. I actually did not finish this one and happily finished my chai. I did not taste any pistachio flavor in the lucky latte but again, she was pretty and the cold foam was quite delicious. I would absolutely come again and support by ordering only 1 drink next time mainly for price purposes. I do highly recommend their chai if you love a true chai flavor where you can taste the spice and it isn't watered down like a lot of coffee shops like to do. The chai was a great quality chai tea. Again, that was one of the best chai's I've ever ordered in jacksonville ever. I was very pleased with it. If you catch yourself wanting to try a new coffee shop and you are near the e town neighborhood, (and it's before 2pm) swing in and give mechanism a chance. I loved the staff and it's a warm and welcoming atmosphere with all of the gorgeous natural light coming in the shop.

They are expanding their existing space for more seating, and have cool new things planned! Again, just one guy's opinion, but the Rosemary Cortado at Parkwood is the gold standard in Jax right now. Great space. Great peeps. Great roast. Great vibe. Skip the brass and fern and glass. This is the red-brick real deal for a real coffee experience. :) :)

Well, this will be my 49th review on a coffee shop and I'm very happy to cover Grounds of Grace! First and foremost, yes, it's a shop that exists to provide service to customers with excellent hot and cold beverages. However, its main reason for existence is ministry. Yes, it's a ministry to the community in that it brings our young people in to learn the coffee business, along with many other ministry activities in the community. It also sports a large bus outside the building in the parking lot. It's not there for decor. It's also used to provide ministry throughout the area as well. How in the world did I get the feeling I wanted to ride the Sunday School but that took me to church when I was a young kiddo again! Yeah, that brought back the memories! Grounds of Grace started up in 2020 (during Covid of all things). But the building came to existence around 2023. There is much to appreciate in the work and positive effect they have on others - I saw some of that during my visit. Yes, I did visit to grab a coffee beverage too! The day was warm so I departed from my usual hot white latte and went with a spring specialty offering. Katie, the fantastic barista who assisted me, told me about the specialty menu and I saw immediately that I had to get the strawberry cheesecake white mocha latte!! I took the frap version. But this is key! I mentioned the drink probably has a high sugar content, and YES it does! However, the shop will offer to make it for you with half the sugar, which I chose. Truthfully, I was delicious! That's because I could really taste the coffee and other flavors blended evenly together. Make sure you ask for the half sugar on their specialty drinks if you wish for a lower sugar content. On another note, I really love the interior of Grounds of Grace. They have a pretty large space in their building with varied seating from chairs, half couches, elevated seating, and regular table seating. It wasn't busy during my Saturday visit, but some folks did stop by. It's a very pleasant atmosphere with lowered-volume Christian music playing. Remember, this is a Christian ministry, but Grounds of Grace welcomes all people to come visit and enjoy what they offer. They do have a section with accessories, such as shirts, mugs, etc., it you want to purchase some and further help their ministry. I really think this is a great thing for our community and I had a wonderful time here. It was one of those moments where I felt like I a got a dose of heaven for a moment of time! Come visit Grounds of Grace! What they do for kids and the community, along with creating great coffee beverages, it's surely worth your visit! Recommend: VERY HIGH
