Crema's Take

“The Local is a Jacksonville gem that combines genuinely exceptional food with an atmosphere so welcoming and cozy that you'll want to linger for hours, whether you're meeting friends, working on your laptop, or treating yourself to their legendary burger and house-made pastries. The staff here treats everyone like family, and the kitchen delivers with impressive care—from their signature Local Toast to quality steak and eggs and surprisingly delicious pasta—making it equally beloved by solo coffee drinkers and families seeking a full, fresh breakfast. It's the rare spot that nails both the specialty coffee experience and the full restaurant experience without sacrificing warmth or quality.”

It was our first time in today and this was an amazing experience. I have managed restaurants for a decade and this place, hands down, has the friendliest staff and THE best burger that I’ve EVER had. Portions are great, THE FOAVOR IS UNREAL AND UNMATCHED, y’all. I had to review this cool spot. We came during brunch!!! Great lunch spot. Will be coming back soon! Kid menu friendly.

Service wonderful. Chairs are cozy. Atmosphere is quaint and homey. Food was fresh, hot, and delicious. The Local Toast was so tasty 10/10! Steak and eggs was quality meat 7/10. I would eat here again.

Amazing food! The pasta tasted absolutely delicious and would definitely it let have it again! The service was pretty good and the atmosphere isn’t bad at all. They do have live music certain days and overall the food was good! Must try

While visiting Jax on a mini-vacay with my hubby, we came straight here for lunch when we got into town. It was past the normal lunch rush, so we immediately sat down at a table. I didn't want a full, heavy meal, so I ordered the burrata with pistachio -spinach pesto, onion balsamic jam, crushed red chili flakes, Parmesan, with rosemary focaccia. And MY WORD that was one of the best things I ever put in my mouth. I ordered a second plate of bread so I could make sure not to leave even one drop behind. I've been thinking about it for dayssss! Oh and my husband enjoyed his fried chicken sandwich too. But that DIP!!!

Super cozy, festive, boutique-style atmosphere!! 🍂 🎃 Amazing staff and service, always so welcoming, even to those who come to work on their laptops or handle business stuff! 💻☕️ 🍽️ The food never fails, and prices have stayed fair through the years. Love the hot chicken n’ waffle 🍗 🧇 They’re always coming up with new specialty menu items while keeping the classics. Coffee, craft cocktails, beer on tap, and of course mimosas 🍊🧡 🍸 Bartender Spencer is a wonderful guy, super kind and attentive. Definitely ask to sit at the bar (if there’s room!) 🎶 Weekday happy hour, live music on Wednesdays (with 50% off bottles!), and an amazing outdoor patio space 🌿🌅
