I got the lucky bomb coffee which was vanilla, cream, and espresso. Pretty basic recipe but a GOAT coffee beverage. Most of their menu items seem pretty basic, and it's not an enormous menu. And I love this! They know what they do well, and they keep that up! The service was wonderful and my coffee came out super fast! And fun little add-on, they have some drip coffee and small cups so you can sip a little while you wait. Have a little coffee while you wait for your coffee! A coffee lovers dream. It seems like it would be a lovely place to sit a sip for a few minutes, but I just took mine to go this time. Their pastries also look great but weren't in the cards for me today. I did have my eye on some ube items, so looking forward to those on my next visit!

I had it one time at a different location and I loved it so now I have to get it every single time. With that being said, I got a Hot Caffe Latte size Large, House Blend, Skim Milk (thank you for having this option! not enough places do), Honey, and Lavender Bitters. To eat, I chose the Egg, Turkey Sausage, and Pepper Jack cheese and I threw in a Fox Shortbread Cookie for good measure because I love shortbread. The latte was fabulous but the bagel sandwich was where it's at. It's savory, satisfying, and arrived packaged up snuggly so it was still pretty warm. The cookie was so cute but even so I bit his head off lol. I'm normal I promise lol. The cookie very good and I detected something else in the shortbread that made it taste different from others I've had, just couldn't figure out what it was. Psssh it was still a good cookie. Will be back!

My favorite was the Ube cheesecake. It was a uniquely different flavor I wasnt expecting. Not too sweet either. The bischoff caramel crepe was not a fan favorite. I dont know what I was expecting but that wasn't it. It was soggy and not pleasing to my palate or my husband's. The strawberry shortcake was okay. I dont eat a lot of strawberry shortcake so I'm not sure what I was expecting. This shortcake seemed like it had more whipped cream than anything and maybe that's how they are supposed to be....but Im not sure. The vanilla bean cheesecake was also very good. I will be going back for another slice. Not too sweet, not dry. Nice and creamy. The service was good.

Love the selection of beverages and treats, and this would be a great stopping point during a day of shopping.

Black Forest iced coffee (half sweet, skim milk, extra shot espresso)- delicious flavor, somewhat sweeter still but not overly. Served with a cherry and coconut. Probably wouldn't get for breakfast but as an after dinner drink it was great. Sugar cookie matcha, daughters enjoyed. Also on the sweeter side but this is what she wanted. Good flavor combo. Berry Smoothie was also delicious with a good thickness. And last, my son enjoyed a hot cocoa, with th whip.

The woman was sweet and kept apologizing for the wait, but we were not in a hurry, so she was able to start the machines up and the digital menus on the screens.

I was able to get the drink without boba, since I'm not a fan of it. My friend enjoyed her drink as well, and she was happy I introduced her to this place.

The flavor of the coffee, the crema of the espresso shots, and the perfect foam of the milk--I can never complain about this place. I don't add sugar or syrup so I can taste the coffee, and it's that good!! They create beautiful latte art, and I always enjoy watching it. The food is also incredibly good, and you can't go wrong with anything. Their baked goodies are made fresh daily, and everything I've tried has been delicious. If you want to have lunch, the club wrap is so good--you must try it. The staff is always friendly and the owners are lovely people.

Mechanism Coffee Roasters - after thoughts:…read more Continuing my "JAX COFFEE CRAWL 2025" -- Stop 10 of 10! FINAL STOP -- made it!!! Visited on a bustling Saturday morning and easily found parking. The shop is spacious with high ceilings, offering a comfortable mix of seating: tables for solo study or group meetups, barstools along the wall, and cozy couches for those just looking to relax and reflect. Having visited before, I'm happy to share they've remained consistent -- clean, inviting, and always backed by friendly, attentive service. Selection: Apple Cinnamon Chai Dirty (12oz, Hot with Oat Milk) -- a beautifully balanced drink where warm cinnamon and crisp apple flavors mingle with spiced chai and a smooth espresso shot. The oat milk rounds it all out for a cozy, fall-worthy cup. Though their limited store hours may be a small drawback, it's quickly overshadowed by their strong focus on quality -- in both their coffee and food offerings -- and their genuine connection with the community. A solid staple in the JAX coffee scene. MUST-TRY & REPEAT!!! .5 of 5 (4.5 of 5)

We were immediately impressed when we went in; lots of dark wood and a long bar with shelves and shelves of spirits. There were mostly bourbons and whiskeys. They even had a rolling ladder so bartenders could reach top-shelf bottles. We had about a 10 minute wait for a table on a Saturday for lunch. The time went by quickly and we were seated at a small wooden table. Our server, Erin, approached us quickly and took our drink orders. I ordered a Blue Moon and my husband had the WC Old-Fashioned. It was made with Evan Williams 1783 Bourbon and he said it was quite good. ($13). For food; I had the Rooster Royale which was a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and hot honey BBQ sauce. It was $16.50, and one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Even the bun was delicious! I'd planned on only eating half; but I ended up eating it all because it was so good. I also had the homemade chips which were yummy too. My husband had the Reuben which was $19. He said it was really tasty and full of meat. He commented that it didn't get "mushy" or fall apart. He had the crispy potatoes as his side and he raved about those too. We really enjoyed our meal at Whiskey Cake and would definitely return. The only drawback I can think of is that they don't seem to have very many healthy lo-cal options.

First I have to commend Christina, who was our server. A table of eight, she managed us with such grace, professionalism, and outstanding service! With a constant smile on her face, she asked us open questions and was very attentive. Not once did I have to ask for an iced tea refill because she was staying on top of it! The menu, though short with options did have a creative variety. We all tried the cinnamon roll, which I have to say was beyond, and I do mean beyond outstanding. In fact, it was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had with the toasted pecans and the sauce. WOW!! I ended up with the pancakes and eggs, and the eggs were cooked perfectly! The pancakes were were thick and had good flavor. It was a little overcooked for what I prefer, but overall, it was very good. Looking at the other options of what friends were having the food looked amazing. I am not a bacon eater, but one of our table mates had a bacon dish that she said was phenomenal. I will definitely be back

It's the kind of coffee shop where you can grab a great cup of coffee, sit down for a bit, and actually enjoy the atmosphere. The space feels modern but relaxed, making it a nice spot whether you're meeting a friend, catching up on some work, or just taking a break from the day. The coffee here is excellent. You can tell they take their beans and roasting seriously. The espresso drinks are smooth, rich, and full of flavor without being overly bitter. They also have a nice selection of specialty drinks if you're in the mood to try something a little different. They offer a good variety of breakfast items and pastries as well, which pair perfectly with the coffee. Everything tastes fresh and well prepared--simple but done right. Another thing I appreciated was the friendly service. The staff is welcoming and efficient, and the overall energy of the place feels very positive. It's also convenient that they have a drive-thru if you're in a hurry. All in all, Brass Tacks Coffee is one of those local spots that keeps people coming back. Great coffee, good food, and a relaxed environment make it an easy recommendation if you're in the Jacksonville Southside area.
