Great people at Martin Coffee they roast all of our private label coffees. Ben is the best consultant you could hope to find if you want to run a coffee shop or have a coffee component to your business.

Is this place set up in such a way that they could do public tours? That would be a pretty cool little amenity.

Great article and great photos.  I really like the shot of Bay St. on the first page.  I don't think I've ever seen a historical photo of Bay from that perspective.

Our friends from out of town decided recently that a coffee cup from The Fox with the Martin logo on the opposite side was the perfect Jacksonville souvenir...

I usually get a bag or 2 from them for Christmas gifts when I travel out of town. You can go in the front and they'll sell you a bag just like you'd get of Maxwell at Publix. Very friendly people.

How's their coffee? Is it comparable to, say, Bold Bean? Or closer to Maxwell House?

Very cool.  I will ask my son to pick some up for us.  Nice article too guys!

Very good quality from a traditional house blend to more gormet organic and exotic roasts.

Tours of the place and how it works would be cool, especially since Maxwell House refuses to do so.  I think it is great that smaller companies can be successful.

They also brew the BEST tea...great company to do business with. My family has been in the restaurant business since the 50's and have always used Martin.
