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 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.

But Jax Bread is probably the best you're going to get in Jacksonville. And it's excellent on its own merits. I ordered the lox bagel and it hit all the right notes: a perfectly chewy bagel, super fresh toppings, and the ideal cream cheese-to-bagel ratio (which matters more than people realize). Everything tasted fresh and was thoughtfully put together (more proper ratios). The service is always lovely, and I've genuinely never had anything here that wasn't delicious. This visit, I also grabbed the day-old mystery 3-pack of bagels so I could carb out a few more times this week. They're just as tasty, freeze beautifully, and at $2.99 it's an unbeatable deal. I'm already eyeing Jax Bread for some Christmas goodies this year because there are so many great things to choose from. If you haven't been yet, fix that.

You can order at the register or they have a tablet ordering system that's credit card only. I ordered at the register and got their turkey pesto melt on sourdough bread.

I can wait to go back and try some of their other items. They seem to also sell an array of beverages, tons of bread of course, and they have a section of day old bread at a discounted rate. Definitely a must try!

When I found out about Tea of Jax, my husband and I immediately went there to try their flavored teas. This place is actually an Indian grocery. Aside from teas, they also offer snacks, deserts, produce, etc. But we are here for the teas! Oh my goodness, we have been here 4 times in the past week and have tried all their flavors, except for Lemongrass because it's supposedly sweet, but everything was fantastic! You can even pair it with their vegetable samosas as a combo for only $5! The owner was kind and very accommodating with all our questions about the flavors. Don't wait, run to this place ASAP!

Kind of intimidating but the owner was so very nice and invited me inside to get a coffee. The most delicious thing I ordered was the Mediterranean sandwich! The bread was crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. It was filled with prosciutto, tomato, cucumber, and pesto/tzaziki sauce, so good! The iced caramel latte was classic and delicious as well. The decor inside was like an European slash Middle Eastern vibe. I ended up relaxing, reading, and staying here for over an hour. Will definitely be back!

It's an interesting environment. People drink beer at the outside tables and coffee at the inside tables. There is lots of comfy seating: tables, benches, couches, comfy chairs. And in the center is a huge TV where they play sports programming from their region. Pretty much all of the customers are Albanian, so you get some stairs coming in. The owner is cordial and makes your food/drinks quickly. I've actually never tried the food since I always come here full, but the coffee is good and reasonably priced.

Lotsa tables without being crowded at all. Outlets available all around the room. Cons: Essentially an advertisement for the church surrounding it. At 8 the space is full of teens. At 9 there are toddlers running around while their mothers gather to chat. Very loud. At least 5 tv screens cycling between essentially 4 images, one variant being about coffee. One for grief services. One for preschool. One for divorce services. They do not offer decaf espresso. I'd say that if you can look past the running screaming under-supervised children and the constant advertisements for rather depressing topics (other than coffee and preschool) and churchy vibes it's a good place where you know you'll get a seat and an outlet. I personally won't be returning.

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.

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
