I am looking for some feedback here folks...

I work downtown and really miss taking a walk to Starbucks at the Landing or 11 East when it was there also.  There is coffee in my building, but its just not getting the job done.  Can I get your response on some great coffee spots downtown that are walkable from the Landing?

Unfortunately, can't think of any good coffee shops within walking distance of the Landing. Do yourself a favor and bring a thermos of Bold Bean to work.

What about Chamblins? He has good coffee. Dont they serve Starbucks in the lobby of the BofA Tower?

International Cafe on Hogan has a decent espresso.

There's a little coffee stand inside of the Wells Fargo Building, also - The North side.

I've never had it, but An Apple A Day in the landing serves coffee drinks. But your best bet is probably Chamblins. There's a Einstein's Bagel in the Hyatt too.

I know. Pretty sad list for a downtown in a city this size. But that's what we've got.

There's also The Brick coffee house on Adams in the Ed Ball Building, Midtown Deli which has an espresso bar inside.

I haven't worked in the BoA Tower in a couple of years, but there used to be a Java Junction there.  You could go see.

Java Junction is still in the B of A tower and they always have about 6 different brews going.  They also do frozen and iced coffee, and smoothies

Too bad places like Java Junction have zero outside presence. I have never even heard of this place. To me, as a downtown visitor, I would never even go into that tower unless I had business there. It lookes too imposing and unfriendly.

Just go in there, it's free and open to the public. Great restaurant on the top floor!

Seems like there might be something decent in the Omni or Hyatt as well.  2 new 7-11's will soon offer additional choices on the cheap.

The coffee stand in the Omni closed.

Jacksonville Terminal has a great coffee shop and they serve breakfast too... then there are those really cool Maxwell House coffee stands around downtown. Oh, sorry, my time machine must be fogged up.

Any photos available of old Maxwell House coffee stands?

Sounds like coffee trucks might be welcomed, alongside food trucks?  Premium coffees, freshly ground...maybe a good doughnut to go with, for the morning crowd or a signature dessert for lunch/late crowd?  mmmmmmm
