Arepa Please
474 Riverside Ave, Jacksonville, FL
Crema's Take
“This Venezuelan gem in Jacksonville masterfully blends a leisurely café atmosphere with bold, craveable flavors—think perfectly seasoned arepas like the Queen and Jax Blonde alongside crispy tequenos and fresh pressed juices that transport you straight to Caracas. The staff genuinely cares about getting details right, whether that's nailing gluten-free options or steering you toward their standout specialty drinks, making it feel less like a quick stop and more like discovering a hidden local escape right in your neighborhood.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Wow! This food here is flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend the Jax Blond. The server gave us their cheese sticks, tequenos, which were amazing. Be careful when taking a bit though, can be a little messy. I can’t wait to go back and try other items. It gets pretty busy at…
