Southern Grounds & Co.
400 Riverside Ave Unit 101, Jacksonville, FL
Crema's Take
“Southern Grounds is a welcoming San Marco staple where serious espresso craftsmanship meets an unexpectedly spacious and clean environment, complete with both cozy indoor nooks and pleasant outdoor seating that makes lingering over a pour over feel like the right call. Their baristas know their craft and aren't shy about creative recommendations, while the kitchen backs up the coffee with fresh pastries, full breakfast options, and surprisingly ambitious food that justifies the slightly elevated prices for Jacksonville. It's the rare specialty coffee shop that works equally well for a solo laptop session, a client catering event, or a casual family breakfast.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.
