Another Broken Egg Cafe

As the name fittingly indicates, this quaint coffee shop offers a multitude of egg dishes. Everything here is made from scratch and with local artisan ingredients. Some of the stand-outs on the menu are the handmade biscuit beignets, reminiscent of the French Quarter in New Orleans, and the Floridian, a cream cheese omelet topped with garlic-sautéed crabmeat, Monterrey Jack cheese and green onions.

Taverna

The Taverna is a rustic and up-scale restaurant that draws inspiration from casual Italian cuisine. Located in the historic San Marco neighborhood, Taverna provides guests with a true European experience surrounded by a classy ambiance. One of the star brunch entrees is the Taverna Hash, made with two sunny-side eggs on top and fingerling potatoes, onions, peppers and Italian sausage.

Secret Garden Cafe

The Secret Garden Cafe is a hidden gem tucked away in the middle of Jacksonville. Its unpretentious and beachy vibe gives way to high-quality food.
