Food Scene

This place rocks. Independent, local and a passionate supporter of farms in Central and South America as well as Africa. Doesn't hurt that I manage the third location in San Marco! Try the honey cortado and any of the fresh baked food options and your life may never be the same again.

Rice and Beans. Need I say more?! A block off the beach and a few more from the Jacksonville Beach Pier. They also have more on their menu, but who needs more than rice and beans.

Everything Else

Drive south just under 45 minutes and you are in the oldest city in the country. You'll have access to the old town (a bit touristy) but also all that the area has to offer...stunning beaches, tasty food scene (Llama, Ice Plant, The Floridian).

This area has developed into a central gathering spot for locals and visitors. Pretty incredible restaurant options that include North Beach Fish Camp and Mezza, local boutiques, and beautiful beaches. You can find rentable surf and paddleboards, classes for those interested in learning, yoga studios, and a small local bookstore.

5 Points, Riverside and San Marco are a few of the older neighborhoods in Jacksonville. They all offer a very different feel and all have some pretty great dining options, walking options, and local flavors.
