★★★★★
Best coffee in Jacksonville hands down. The brown sugar oat latte is incredible and the baristas actually know their stuff. Great spot to work — Wi-Fi is fast and there are plenty of outlets.

The place
Brass Tacks Coffee Co. is a locally owned coffee shop and roastery at 4352 Southside Blvd in the Southside neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. The cafe roasts its own single-origin and blended beans on site and serves espresso drinks, pour-overs, cold brew, and seasonal lattes. Light food options include pastries and breakfast bites from local bakeries. The space features free Wi-Fi, ample seating, and outlets, making it a popular remote-work and study spot. Brass Tacks is dog-friendly on the patio and offers takeout and mobile ordering. The shop holds a 4.6-star rating on Google with 621 reviews. Whole-bean retail bags are available for purchase in-house and online.
Tucked along Southside Boulevard near the Tinseltown corridor, Brass Tacks Coffee Co. is one of Jacksonville's most reliable specialty coffee stops — a working roastery and cafe where the beans pulled into your espresso were likely roasted a few feet away. The vibe is industrial-minimalist with warm wood accents, plenty of natural light, and a steady hum of laptops, students, and regulars who treat the bar like a neighborhood living room.
Order the house espresso straight or as a cortado to taste the roast in its cleanest form. The brown sugar oat latte and seasonal lavender latte are the most-mentioned signature drinks, and the cold brew is brewed in-house and pours smooth and chocolatey. For food, grab a fresh-baked croissant, scone, or breakfast sandwich from the case. Whole-bean retail bags — including single-origins and the house blend — are stacked behind the counter to take home.
No reservations needed — it's first-come walk-in seating with a large communal table, bar seating, and outdoor patio space. The patio is dog-friendly, parking is free and ample in the shared plaza lot, and mobile order pickup is available through the website. Wi-Fi is free and outlets are easy to find, so plan to stay a while if you're working remotely.

Love that they roast in-house. The cortado was perfectly balanced and the cold brew is some of the best I've had. Will definitely be back to try the pour-over.
★★★★★
Brought my dog to the patio and the staff brought a water bowl right out. Cozy vibe, great pastries, and the lavender latte is a must-try. New favorite spot.
