I got the crème brûlée and Ferrero rocher crème puff and the little bao that had vanilla cream and a blueberry compote inside.

Everything seemed crisp and clean! 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.

    Always great vibes and excellent coffee! I visit here whenever I'm nearby because their caffe latte…read moreor cappuccino is among the best in town!!! They have never let me down. 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 wanted to have lunch at someplace new. Since my husband is a whiskey lover he wanted to check…read morethis place out. It's a free standing restaurant in the St. John's Shopping Center. 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.

    We came here today for my goddaughter's graduation celebratory lunch. Having never been here I was…read morenot sure what the menu options would be or what to expect. 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.
