Brass Tacks Coffee Co.

Brass Tacks Coffee Co. is an independent café in Jacksonville, and they roast in Green Cove Springs. It's modern and industrial with skater-inspired décor and a good playlist, plus indoor and outdoor seating. With metal chairs and few outlets, it's better for meetups than long work sessions. There's a drive-thru and a punch card.

The Mexican Mocha has a bit of spice, and the pumpkin lattes are made in-house in fall. Try the Lavender Vanilla Latte, or ask for the off-menu Island Girl. "The Rex" breakfast sandwich is a local favorite, and the biscuits, cinnamon rolls and crumb cake are homemade. You can also shop their blends and single origins online.
