Jacksonville Beach Coffee Shops: Local Faves by the Beach

Need an energy boost before hitting the beach? Skip Starbucks or Dunkin’. In Jacksonville Beach, there are more than enough local coffee shops to keep you caffeinated and energized every day of the week.

As a freelance writer, I spend most of my workdays in a coffee shop, typing away at my keyboard. I’ve made it my mission to try every single coffee shop on this list — and I’ve already crossed off quite a few!

In this guide to Jacksonville Beach coffee shops, I’ll share the need-to-know details about the local options, including details on whether they’re remote-work-friendly.

I’ll also share a few menu recommendations for the ones I’ve visited (Full disclosure: I’m an iced coffee girl). If you’re a coffee fiend, you’ll want to bookmark this list!

Grab your cup and settle in. It’s time to get caffeinated!

Round Bird Coffee Shop goes beyond the typical coffee shop fare — although they’re good at that, too. The menu is inspired by the flavors of South Africa, which means you can pair a meat pie with a glass of South African wine if you’re not in the mood for coffee.

Good for Remote Work? Yes! There are several standalone tables, a long communal table, couches, and a few tables for outdoor seating. I love that the outlets are easy to access. They have several extension cords with outlets hanging from the ceiling so you can power up without sitting near the wall.

What’s On the Menu? I love trying one of the seasonal syrups in my cold brew. When hunger strikes, I grab a warm chocolate croissant for a quick snack.

Address: 1094 3rd St N, Jacksonville Beach, FL, 32250

Southern Grounds is a Jacksonville staple with four locations. I haven’t visited them all yet, but it will be hard to top the Neptune Beach location. It’s located in the Beaches Town Center and just a short walk from the beach. There’s a large courtyard with plenty of tables. The menu is extensive, too, with options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Good for Remote Work? Yes, especially on gorgeous Florida days. I usually head here when I want to work outside for several hours. It’s close enough to the beach that you can still catch a breeze, and the patio is large enough that it’s still possible to find a table later in the morning.

What’s On the Menu? The rotating seasonal syrups are a fun way to give a standard iced coffee a different kick. For lunch, the Turkey Apple Brie sandwich on walnut bread is out of this world.

Sago Coffee

Sago Coffee is always bustling and with good reason. It’s an ideal remote work location with delicious coffee to boot! They also pair with a local nonprofit partner each quarter to help give back to the Jacksonville Beach community. They donate 25% of their profit to their nonprofit partner.

Good for Remote Work? Yes! This location has two rooms with tons of seating, as well as outdoor couches. There are garage-style doors along the front that they open on nice days. This Jacksonville Beach coffee shop is a great spot for solo work or for taking a coffee shop meeting. 

What’s On the Menu? I love the cold brew at Sago, and they offer a great deal if you plan to hunker down for a while. They have bottomless coffee options for hot coffee and cold brew. The acai bowls are also a favorite!

Address: 318 7th Ave North Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250

Breezy Coffee Shop Wine Bar

No lie – sometimes I dream about Breezy’s House Iced Coffee. The mix of chocolate, caramel, and coconut is so refreshing, and very fitting for a coffee shop within walking distance to the beach! The parking lot is small, but there is street parking down the side streets.

Good for Remote Work? Breezy is located in a house just a few blocks from the beach and has two stories filled with work tables.

What’s On the Menu? The house iced coffee is an absolute must! They also have breakfast pita sandwiches that are easy to eat on the go.

Address: 235 8th Ave S, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250

Cup of Job

Cup of Job brings some tropical flair to the Jacksonville Beach coffee shop scene. They have traditional coffee and breakfast sandwiches, as well as a few beachy options, like the Banana Cream Cold Brew. This is in the heart of the Jacksonville Beach area near Seawalk Pavilion and just a few minutes from the beach.

Good for Remote Work? Yes, there are some tables inside and a few scattered outside on the front and side patios.

What’s On the Menu? Grab a refreshing lemonade before hitting the beach or settling in for a bit of work. They also offer smoothies and some food options, like frittatas and bagels.

Address: 119 1st Ave. North, Jacksonville Beach, FL, 32250

Bold Bean Coffee Roasters – Jax Beach

Like Southern Grounds, Bold Bean is another Jacksonville staple with multiple locations throughout the city. This Bold Bean spot is in a plaza surrounded by several shops and restaurants.

Good for Remote Work? Yes, there are tables and a patio. This location is near one of the busier streets in Jacksonville Beach, but far enough from the road to make it a worthy spot for remote work.

What’s On the Menu? Coffee, coffee, and more coffee. There are endless options here, as well as plenty of teas available. While there is some grab-and-go food and several pastry options, it doesn’t offer extensive breakfast options.

Address: 2400 3rd St S, Unit 201, Jacksonville Beach, 32250

Caffeinated Cat

Enjoy your coffee and cuddle with some of the feline residents at this cat-friendly coffee shop. Located in Jacksonville Beach, it’s filled with cats. If you happen to bond with one, consider adoption. The shop partners with Mayport Cats to help their cats find forever homes.

Good for Remote Work? The Caffeinated Cat is worth a visit but plan on staying just long enough to bond with some cats. There are picnic tables outside, but it’s definitely not your standard coffee shop!

What’s On the Menu? The menu rotates and all of the drinks are cat-themed. If you’re not up for a coffee, try one of their flavored lemonades or ginger ale.

Address: 331 1st Ave N, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250

Ink Factory Coffee Shop

Ink Factory is a coffee shop by day and a busy brewery by night. It has plenty of parking and a variety of seating options. Hang out in the main room to feed off the coffee shop energy, or head to the back room for a little peace and quiet.

Good for Remote Work? Yes! Between the bar, the patio, and tables in the back room, there are plenty of places to set up your laptop and power through some work.

What’s On the Menu? You’ll be able to craft the coffee of your dreams thanks to the variety of syrups and milks offered. Can’t decide? The seasonal menu rotates regularly so you’re bound to find something that catches your eye!

Address: 602 Shetter Avenue, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250

Show Pigeon Coffee

Show Pigeon is truly a hidden gem in the Beaches. Located in the Hotel Palms, this small but mighty Jacksonville Beach coffee shop is hip, experimental, and well worth a visit, even if you’re a local!

Good for Remote Work? There are some tables available, but hotel guests might snag them first! Keep this in mind for coffee stop on your way to the beach.

What’s On the Menu? From Blueberry Thyme to Cardamom Rose, Show Pigeon has so many delectable, unique coffee concoctions to try. The rotating menu makes choosing your drink an adventure every time you visit.

Address: 28 Sherry Drive, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233

Zap Cat Espresso Bar

Remember the Atlantic Theatre? It’s not a theater anymore, but it is still anchoring the North Beach Shopping Center. Zap Cat Espresso Bar is located in what was once the theater lobby. With well-priced coffee, friendly staff, and plenty of space to work, it’s a great option for locals and visitors.

Good for Remote Work? Yes! There’s plenty of space inside and a patio right outside. There’s usually space available at both, so feel free to wander over later in the morning.

What’s On the Menu? I’ve opted for a standard iced coffee during my visits, but they have a rotating seasonal menu filled with unique recipes. The Spring Menu, for example, included an iced Push Pop coffee that included espresso, strawberry, orange, coconut cream, and milk. Yum!

Address: 751 Atlantic Blvd, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233

This Orlando favorite has made its way north to Ponte Vedra Beach – and I’m glad they did! Foxtail Coffee is my favorite place to stop for a breakfast sandwich and iced coffee before heading to the beach or tackling some work when spending the day in the Ponte Vedra area.

Good for Remote Work? Yes, if you’re willing to sit outside. There are some tables and chairs inside for remote work, but it can get crowded. The tables outside are a great way to finish up some work and enjoy the sunshine.

What’s On the Menu? The Turkey Sausage and White Cheddar Bagel is a go-to when visiting Foxtail Coffee. I’ve had it several times and it is always piping hot and very filling. The Vanilla Caramel Cold Brew is also a fave.

Address: 260 Front Street, Suite 620, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082

A French-inspired cafe right at the beach? Sold! Le Petit Paris Cafe – Atlantic Beach is a favorite among family and friends and is always packed. Parking can be tricky during busy hours, but it’s worth circling the plaza searching for a spot. It’s also walkable from the Beaches Town Center and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Good for Remote Work? Yes, there is indoor and outdoor seating, though outdoor seating is fairly limited. It’s also pet-friendly on the patio.

What’s On the Menu? I’ve devoured the Le Montmartre sandwich, which has rotisserie chicken, bacon, zucchini, red pepper, and Provence Mayonnaise. I love to grab pastries here ahead of family events. They are always a huge hit!

Address: 363 Atlantic Blvd., Atlantic Beach, FL 32233

1985 Coffee is the new kid on the block and a welcomed addition to the Mayport area. Parking is difficult, so get there early! In addition to coffee and tea, they also serve seasonal toasts, sandwiches, and pastries.

Good for Remote Work? Yes! There’s plenty of room inside, as well as a fenced outdoor lawn area with tables.

What’s On the Menu? You’ll find plenty of coffee shop staples like iced coffee, americano, and cortado. They also offer a rotating menu of coffee concoctions that you’ll love trying for yourself!

Address: 1985 Mayport Road, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233

Sure, Southern Grounds and Starbucks get most of the attention in the Beaches Town Center. But Bodega Bar + Coffee is a must-visit, especially if you have a bit of time to browse the surf shop! The coffee shop is located in Jax Surf & Paddle.

Good for Remote Work? There are some tables inside and outside, but Bodega is better suited for snagging a cup of Joe before exploring the beach or the rest of the town center.

What’s On the Menu? This coffee shop has hot or iced coffee, cold brew, and espresso. Of course, you can always skip the coffee and grab a cocktail instead!

Address: 241 Atlantic Blvd #102, Neptune Beach, FL 32266

Delicomb

Delicomb is a remote worker’s dream. The coffee is delicious, the food menu is expansive, and the seating is plentiful. The menu is natural and organic, with all the food prepared in their scratch kitchen. The coffee menu includes a full espresso bar, matcha, and other coffee shop favorites.

Good for Remote Work? Yes! I stopped by one afternoon and was easily able to find a table with outlet access. The food was hot, the iced coffee was cold, and the atmosphere was perfect for a change of scenery during the workday.

What’s On the Menu? During my visit, I built my own 2-egg sandwich with bacon and enjoyed an iced coffee.
