Local Coffee Shops

For so many people, coffee is a way of life. Most of us use it as a means to keep our energy boosted for the day, though some of us actually drink this wonderful bean-based drink as a means of unwinding, relaxing at the end of the day. But whatever your need is, whether it's a quick shot of espresso or a place to sip cocoa on a cool night with your friends, take a look at some of the local coffee shops here in Jacksonville, Florida.

Uncommon Grounds Coffee Company is at 2000 Hendricks Ave next to Subway. It's a small, cozy coffee shop with limited seating, but delicious hot cocoa! Drop in at night and you may find yourself in the middle of a poetry circle or acoustic guitar session. The atmosphere can't be beat, and the drinks are amazing!

Empire Coffee is at 9527 Regency Square Blvd, suite 6. They feature local music and display selected art work on their walls. Their hours are Monday-Friday 7am to 9pm, Saturday 9am to 10pm, and closed on Sundays. They have free Wireless Internet available as well.

Bad Ass Coffee Co. is located at 4352 Southside Blvd; they offer delicious gourmet blends of coffee in a relaxed environment.

Fuel Coffeehouse Inc is in the middle of 5 Points on 1037 Park Street. This laid back, lounge-like shop not only offers delicious drinks, but yummy desserts, alcohol, and live entertainment at night. Don't pass up those thick sofas in the back!

It's so easy to find a Starbucks on every corner; more and more fast food restaurants are offering the popular Iced Coffee blends. But if you're ready for some good, gourmet coffee - look locally. You'll find that some of our local shops offer not only a better product, but great service and atmosphere.
