DNA Coffee is a really cute little spot with a lot of potential. The space is beautiful, quaint, and aesthetically pleasing, and once we settled in, it was a great environment to sit, talk, and get some work done. My drink was really good, and my client had the warm chai tea and enjoyed hers as well. The drinks are beautifully presented, and the crepes definitely seem to be a big attraction. I couldn't try them myself, but they looked great and people were ordering them nonstop. The one thing that affected the experience was the staffing situation. The barista was clearly carrying a lot and doing everything she could to keep things running smoothly while also training a newer employee who seemed to need quite a bit of direction. There was some noticeable frustration and a lack of that smooth, team-oriented flow you hope to see behind the counter. That said, I have to give the barista a lot of credit. She continued treating customers with grace, kept a positive face, and worked hard to make sure people were taken care of. They even ran out of flour for the crepes, and she personally went to the store to get what was needed so they could continue serving customers. That says a lot about her commitment. I really hope they are able to strengthen the staffing side because the concept itself is great. The atmosphere, drinks, presentation, and overall vibe are all there. With a stronger team working together behind the counter, I think this little coffee shop could be a really special spot. I would definitely come back, especially for a quiet meeting, some work time, or just to relax with a good drink.
Some coffee shops are simply places to grab a caffeine fix. Others become gathering places for the neighborhood. It's In The DNA Coffee is clearly aiming for the latter. We stopped by their Park Street location on a Sunday morning, when they were hosting "The Morning After Market," a collection of local vendors selling everything from flowers and handmade jewelry to baked goods and books. My wife immediately gravitated toward The Paper Hare book truck and picked up one of their "Blind Date with a Book" packages, complete with mystery novel, tea, bookmarks, and stickers. It's a clever idea, and one that fits the relaxed, community-minded atmosphere. Inside the café, I ordered an iced chai alongside the Monte Cristo crepe. My wife went with a cortado and the avocado toast. The iced chai was refreshing, although I would have welcomed a little more of the warm spice that gives chai its personality. It was pleasant, just a bit restrained. The Monte Cristo crepe was the highlight of the meal. Filled with ham and mozzarella, then finished with powdered sugar and a raspberry drizzle, it walked the line between sweet and savory without leaning too far in either direction. Every bite made sense. The avocado toast was less ambitious. Toast, smashed avocado, an over easy egg, and everything bagel seasoning. It was competently made, but didn't leave much of an impression beyond checking all the expected boxes. Sometimes that's enough. It's In The DNA Coffee succeeds less because of any one menu item and more because of the experience it creates. Good coffee, a welcoming atmosphere, and a space that encourages people to linger a little longer is a recipe that's hard to argue with. Not every coffee shop needs to reinvent brunch. Sometimes being a comfortable place to spend a Sunday morning is more than enough.
the coffee shop itself was very cute, with a lot of vendors going on. the decorations were nice and it was super cozy. i did not enjoy my order it was very watered down tasting for both beverages and the cinnamon bun was very doughy and did not taste cooked all the way. there also was not a lot of seating available.
Came in with some friends to get them some coffee. I don't drink coffee, so I was happy to see multiple different drink options. The man at the register was very sweet and got all our orders in quickly. I settled on the strawberry lemonade and a bacon breakfast sandwich. Both came out quickly and were so good! Everyone else liked their drink and food. Love that it's close to me so I can check them out again.
Very nice establishment. I like the fact they have a caged sugar gliders, they're so cute! The coffee is good and they have a nice outdoor area to sip and chill.
I love a cozy coffee shop but a coffee shop that also sells beautiful plants... You captured my heart! Tucked away in beautiful 5Points what a great addition. I ordered my go to Hot Americano. I needed an Espresso buzz. The barista was friendly and happy to chat about he collaboration with "Rae of Sunshine Tropicals". Thanks for the hospitality. See you again soon
Stopped in to try DNA on a Saturday mid-morning. Was happy to find there was plenty of parking. That may not be the case during the week due to the location though. Interior is really lovely and was unexpected. Service was friendly and helpful. My sister was excited they had a cookie butter latte as a seasonal offering and her granddaughter had the cute unicorn drink with cotton candy in it! I had a blueberry iced latte with blueberry cold foam. Everything was really tasty.
As soon as I walked in the gorgeous decor caught my eye. I love a cafe with nice decor and seating area. Makes me want to come back and get work done. My kids loved it too especially the games in the table. I forgot her name but the lady was so sweet and the boys said she was really nice. My kids enjoyed their drinks that they were gone before we left. I tried something new and it was really good. It reminded me of chocolate oranges I had when I was at my grandma's house.
It's In The DNA Coffee Shop is one of the coolest and most thoughtfully designed coffee spots in Jacksonville. The ambiance alone is worth the visit. Warm lighting, plants, beautiful murals, and cozy seating that makes you want to stay awhile. The furniture is especially unique, with coffee tables designed using Scrabble boards and chess boards, which adds a really creative, playful touch to the space. I ordered the Oakley Shaken Latte, made with oat milk and brown sugar, and it was absolutely delicious. Smooth, lightly sweet, and full of rich flavor without being overpowering, the kind of drink you end up wishing was bottomless. Everything from the vibe to the drinks feels intentional here. Whether you're coming to relax, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a really well-made coffee, It's In The DNA Coffee Shop delivers on all of it. Add this to your coffee shop list.
There's not enough good things I can say about dna coffee! It's a dope vibe, the service is wonderful and best of all the coffee is actually good. This is def one of my favorite coffee shops in Jax!
Stepped into tranquility this morning and was served by a sweet girl named Serenity. It was my first time in so she gave me insight on the place. It has that warm feel as soon as you walk in. They have unique and fun drinks too not just your typical coffee drinks. I had the Biscoff Latte. It was perfect. Not too sweet. They have cute little Sugar Gliders in there too! Everyone should believe in something. I believe in, It's in the DNA Coffee!
We stopped by this hidden jem for a coffee and was surprised to find delicious crepes and avocado toast! The coffee is strong and delicious, the service is friendly, like a neighborhood bar without the booze, and the atmosphere is modern garden. Comfortable spots to sit and sip or sit at the bar and chat with the barista. This will be my go to coffee spot whenever I'm in town for a visit!
If I could give more stars I would! Our first time here and we will be back. Great location away from the crazy traffic of five points. Cozy spot with bar and lounge type seating. Even a few places to sit outside. I didn't get her name but our server was fantastic! I ordered the Monkeying around and my husband the Floridian. Both were delicious and our server did a great job with the extra touches. We also sampled the Monte Cristo Crepes. So good!

So I want to start off this review by saying that I was really looking forward to trying this coffee shop, especially since it's a small black owned business and I was highly disappointed. I came in the coffee shop during lunch hours with two other patrons already served in the shop. I walked to the register area and found a menu nearby. There was a woman outside that came in behind the register and just stared at me, as if I was a burden or interrupting her. There was no greeting just stares, I had to greet the employee for her to even say Hello back. I told her want I wanted and she made it, very bare minimum service. Having a history working in the hospitality industry, I was not welcoming environment at all. Also, the tropical energy refresher that I ordered was not very good. Tasted watered down, not much flavor compared to other coffee shop energy drinks. It's safe to say that I don't plan to return. I wanted to give this place one star but gave them two stars just off the fact that it is a small owned business. Hopefully others have better experiences when visiting. read more

I am going to give 4 stars for the time being... I would say the coffee was just okay.. the muffin wasn't bad, it was just okay! The sweet girl working wasn't sure of any question that I asked and had to call to ask. Just slightly lacking in quality service. The vibes were super cute and photogenic! The music was pretty loud and obnoxious so maybe not your study spot but for sure a hang out spot. I will give them another chance since they just opened and they have so many options, so I'll not make my final decision on them just yet! For now I'm giving 7/10 total experience. read more

Visited on their grand opening. The shop is in a fantastic location and the decor inside is cozy and inviting. They have a nice mixture of more couches and tables & chairs for working or casual meetups. I tried a lavender latte which was really tasty and the coffee wasn't bitter at all. I wouldn't say it was my favorite lavender latte I've had but I did not try any of their signature drinks. The staff was friendly. I'd definitely stop in again when in the area. read more

Highly recommend this place for coffee or specialty drinks. Service was great as well. However the food was okay and the portions are kinda small. Overall definitely worth a try. The decor is really cute and it makes for a great place to study. read more
