Jacksonville gets a big city coffee house.  They are smart to serve beer, too.  I'd say the little merchants at Stockton St are the heaviest in the city as far as I can tell.  13 Gypsies' chef and Bakery Moderne also get it.  Stepping up.  If I were in Jax I know where I would take visitors for sure.

Best business idea to come to Riverside (and Jax as a whole) in a loooong time IMO & something I've noticed this town has been sorely lacking in compared to others. Roasting, preparing & giving people a cool environment to enjoy their coffee in, all under the same roof, is something truly special that no place in the city has ever provided. Plus, they take it a step further & will make each cup per order using (what's becoming the standard in high quality shops) the pour-over method, the french press & I saw they even have a couple giant glass siphons behind the bar. It all reeks of quality.

I've seen so many half-assed coffee shops open in town (then usually close months later), but this one's a keeper. Starbucks who? Three Layers what??

Now if Intuition or Bold City will go in on a Bold Bean Coffee Stout, they'll be set and have a great beer product tie in!

As I don't drink coffee, most of this went straight over my head. However, my wife believes this is fantastic, and I'm inclined to take her word for it. Having beer on tap is their ticket to two regular customers in my household.

The interior looks gorgeous.  It is one thing I miss from the north is a good coffee shop that roasts their own coffee.  I look forward to the opening.

They did get their money's worth with that interior, didn't they?  It's even more impressive up close.

Bold City Brewery has done some casks using Bold Bean coffee beans.  I am sure either or both of the two breweries will make a full production Coffee Stout soon. 

Will they have any sort of food, or just coffee??  It would be nice if they had some pre-made items from Bakery Moderne.  I am sure all types of partnerships will spring up between the venues in that area.  I am not a coffee drinker, but I'm always looking for new places to enjoy a pint of beer.  I look forward to checking the place out in person.

This looks like a high quality product that will be offered in a very attractive setting; a wonderful addition to any neighbourhood.

The next step is for all of us to support this venture.  Anyone who is contributing to our historic neighborhoods deserves our business!

Yum, that sounds delicious.  Can't wait.

^Now that is some coffee I could really get into.
