The Best Coffee In Jacksonville, Florida

Bold Bean Coffee Roasters

Bold Bean’s small batch coffees are roasted on site in their gas-fired San Franciscan SF-75 drum roaster, which grants the staff control over every aspect of the roast. They are also committed to sustainable and direct trade agreements with their producers, from whom they source for ‘clarity, sweetness and uniqueness.’ It is for these reasons that Jacksonville Magazine chose them as the best coffee in the city. They also offer homemade syrups, ranging in flavor from vanilla to cardamom, to complement their already top draw coffee.

Using a top of the range Diedrich roaster, Morgan and his team serve up cold brews, cappuccinos, agave lattes, cortados, and everything in between. Accompanying the coffee on the menu are homemade pop tarts and delectable peanut butter and sea salt cookies dipped in chocolate, which can be enjoyed in chic surroundings that feature tables and counters made from repurposed materials.

Here at BREW Five Points they blend the classic Italian espresso tradition with the advances made possible by new brewing technology. The friendly and knowledgeable baristas have faith in the purity of their coffee’s flavor; as such they don’t offer any flavored syrups and only use whole milk (if any at all). As a craft beer and espresso bar they have a rotating selection of coffees from the country’s top roasters, as well as five microbrews on tap at any one time. Stop in for a drink and a plate of artisan toast from local bakery Community Loaves.
