If you're debating on coming here I highly recommend you give them a chance. Some of these reviews are so bizarre and far from my experience today! -The people working were very friendly and seemed happy to be working. They asked if all was good etc! -The wait was nothing crazy. The coffee came out within a couple of mins as to be expected and considering the food is all fresh it came out within a reasonable amount of time. If you're in a rush don't come here or order ahead. This isn't frozen or ready made food. It was very delicious! We had the tacos and bowls and wowwww yum! Very good size for the price. 15/10 -the inside is soo cute and cozy! There was a group doing art trading cards and it was very community oriented. - the bathroom is huge with lots of space for someone with a wheelchair. Would love to see a changing table added. -my fiance loved his iced coffee with milk and sugar. My latte was not very strong for my taste, I would suggest increasing the amount of espresso or maybe experimenting with different beans! 6/10 for the coffee. We look forward to coming back to see if the coffee gets better and to eat more delish food! read more

The matcha is definitely with the hype. I would say the best matcha I've ever had. The customer was a 10/10... cozy atmosphere, chill vibes and a great experience. I'll be back. read more

This is a small local business and a total hidden gem! This interior looks like its straight out of a boutique magazine. Soft colors, fun seating and beautiful light fixtures. I am always on the hunt for great Avocado toast and this one was supreme. The toast was warm and buttered, the seasoning on the Avocado was tasty and topped off with quest fresco and cilantro was the right amount of flavor! The gentleman who owns this location was so informative and gave us great customer service. I will definitely be back to try their coffee and this toast will be on my regular rotation! read more

I go here after the gym almost EVERY Saturday. I always forget to get a picture because its sooo good and I am so excited to devour it! BUT I FINALLY got a little pic (ot before tasting it lol) to post. When I tell you this little shop has the best avocado toast I've ever had! With a small menu they fresh make their breakfast selections and it is worth the wait. The staff always remembers us, and has a smile on no matter how busy it gets. And do NOT sleep on the breakfast tacos... AMAZING!! read more

Kind of a hidden gem. The Mexican style is unique. I got an iced Americana and it was balanced, not acidic like other places. Their food options are amazing, but I didn't order any. read more

Love what Soner and Gina did to the place. Gina's cooking is great so everything I've had there has been yummy. Soner is so sweet and adjusted the chai to my liking... so that's my go to drink. I come every Tuesday to crochet with some friends for a couple of hours before closing. Come join us. read more

This seems like a new and upcoming cafe. The theme is "art" to put it simply. They have a very cool space here in Springfield, showcasing artistic vibes and homages to infamous artists. The cafe is decorated with local art and re-prints from familiar artists like Van Gogh, Picasso, and Dali. The best part is you can participate in some coloring as they have plenty of print outs ready for you to color using their collection of color pencils. They set up the space to be very cozy yet eclectic. They have ample seating, whether at a high top, regular table, and/or on a cozy couch. They also have a lot to park in right next to the building or you can opt for on-street parking along Main St. As far as the coffee, unfortunately there is work to be done. I was not impressed with the latte, especially given the price I paid for 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches, nearly $40+ The coffee was watery and easily forgettable, which is very unfortunate. The food was much more impressionable. My keto wrap had turkey, lettuce, tomato, and guacamole. I did not love the guacamole, it was brownish in color and the taste was not great. My husband enjoyed his salmon bagel, his favorite part was the chips on the side - he said they were very tasty. They had a few items in the bakery case such as cookies and muffins so if I come back I may just opt for a sweet treat. It seems this place is still finding its footing so hopefully things improve. read more

What a great place to visit! Lovely food, my daughter had the goya with chicken. It was so refreshing tasting. I went with something less adventurous a bagel with egg, cheese and bacon. The peopered chips were a delightful add on. You will simply be blown away by the art work every where and you are invited to do your own artwork while you wait and converse. The service was so kind and thoughtful! This is going to become a new standard for me! read more

Update: Owners Reply is False Information. I do not have any friends that own any establishments. I did not say any words to you either as my wife placed the order. Moreover, my profile picture has been the same and has remained the same for over a year now. Yelpers can verify this by clicking on my picture and on the bottom left it says "over a year ago." AND I've uploaded proof of purchase. You have been caught in your lie. read more

Artessence is a spa and oasis right in the middle of Springfield. Truly a transformative experience. I'm so glad we found this place. The staff is friendly and service was impeccable. They offer a full menu and I know we'll be trying more, but we stopped by today for coffee and dessert. I had the Samuel's Coffee. It is a double expresso with milk of your choice and honey. Bold and soothing at the same time. We also tried the Coconut cake. Amazing-moist, light sweet, just the perfect hint of coconut. It rivals any cake I've had in Jacksonville. The decor and music make this a place where you could simply stay for hours. They provide colored pencils and actually invite you to color. I did. It was like dessert therapy. On the way out, I discussed not only returning, but making this a weekly stop. This is not just a great place to eat. You could walk out truly refreshed as well. Highly recommend you give them a try. read more

We visited this coffee shop a little over a month ago. This place still lives rent free in my partner and I's head . Drinks were delicious, food was great but what really did it for both of us was the kindness and compassion expressed by the owner and the employees. The service was awesome, the owner was very kind and we will absolutely be returning next time we are in Jacksonville. read more

Super cute spot! Artsy! Great place to chill, chat with a friend, or do some work. Great location and lots of options. Staff is super friendly! read more

Fantastically relaxing inside with great soothing music and coloring pages to relax. Had a yummy hot mocha coffee and a bite of the deliciously decadent coconut cake. Wow, the coffee was perfect, not too sweet and the cake was over the top delicious. The cake was moist and spongy. The icing was thick, sweet and complimented the cake perfectly. Service was warm and welcoming from arrival to departure. A couple of table options outside and different seating options inside including couches, soft chairs, and typical high tables. So many other options to return to enjoy, a real gem In Springfield. read more

The owners were just has friendly and helpful with ordering as the first time I came. My sister ordered a caramel frappe and swore out she'd never had a frappe with as much caramel and when you mixed with the coffee the blend was perfect. I got the Keto breakfast and it was so savory. It starts with sausage, cheese, egg and bacon top's it off! My coffee was perfect and I love they ask how many sugars and creamers and mix it before bringing it to the table. I'm not one to color but my sister loved the coloring page they provided and actually needed to use the pencil sharpener! read more

Horrible service. My family and I waited in line for over 25 minutes with 2 people in front of us just to order. When we finally went to order they said it would be another 20 minutes for food. The menu was not accurate according to their website, super limited and our coffee tasted like just milk by the time we got it. The staff didn't even acknowledge us the entire time. Very annoying. Won't be going back. read more

I can't believe this place only has three reviews, maybe it's brand new, but I'm not sure. Coffee shops are by far my favorite places to stop in for, I think I saw someone post a review about this place on Facebook and just the picture really caught my attention so track it down to give it a shot. As far as the decor goes This place is very picturesque, I came in early in the morning on a weekday and I'm pretty sure it was the owners that were there they were super nice, as far as coffee goes I really feel like they're menu gives you the type of options outside of the normal that you might be looking for didn't know you wanted to try, the sandwich I had was also amazing It was a sausage egg and cheese but it came on a rosemary bread that was super soft and tasty if you're a big fan of unique coffee shops and you're in the Jacksonville area you'll definitely want to stop by for this one. read more

Super welcoming by the lovely couple who are serving us. The menu is easy to read with pictures and they are open to any modifications on the drinks. I'm excited to try the white mocha frappe (with coffee and espresso) and come back on another day for the Raphael salad. The shop is comfortable and has plants of seating to eat or enjoy your drinks. read more

I had an unforgettable keto breakfast this morning at a truly special spot. The vibe was cozy and welcoming, with plush sofas and some of the friendliest, most beautiful people you could hope to meet. The coffee? Absolutely delicious--and surprisingly affordable. For three people, we all had full cups and a satisfying meal, and the total came in under $40. It's rare to find a place that hits all those marks: great food, great prices, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. I'll definitely be going back.!! read more

The cutest little shop on main street. The seating is so cozy with serveral couch options. For a Friday afternoon things weren't too crowded either. The customer service is warm and friendly. I loved my moca frappe and will probably try one of their many lunch items next. read more

Great little coffee and breakfast shop. This place is family run and serves authentic Colombian coffee as well as several others. Try the Keele coffee. It's made with condensed milk and it's amazing. The menu has nice offerings for breakfast, brunch or even lunch. Try their keto eggs plate! Delicious and very Keto friendly. The ambience is super chill with smooth coffee house music playing in the background. The art vibe is fantastic. Art surrounds you and they even give coloring sheets you can color while waiting for you order. This place is also dog friendly! You can't go wrong here. 10/10 read more

Friendly service and good coffee. Dog friendly and beautifully decorated with art. I like their breakfast options.

Great latte and desserts! Interior is bright with tons of artwork on the walls with comfy couches or tables to sit at.

Over an hour to get a mediocre cold sandwich. They are NOT ready to run a restaurant!!!! read more

We stopped by for some lattes and breakfast. However, we were highly disappointed. We ordered 2 drinks and 2 breakfast sandwiches, and they only got 1 drink order, correct. Due to their error in our order, the wait was super long. Once we received the lattes, they tasted like gas station coffee. The breakfast sandwiches were pretty terrible as well. They did remake my husband's latte, but it was still undrinkable as it was so bitter. Unfortunately, we won't be back and can't recommend this cafe. read more

I am a massive coffee snob. I don't really get impressed by coffee that often. When I tell you this place has the best coffee I've ever had, BELIEVE ME! The owners are so sweet and always smiling and welcoming. The coffee was smooth and delicious and they have a variety of sugar free flavors to choose from. The inside is also super cute and showcases art from locals in Jacksonville, which I thought was super cool too! read more
