    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.

    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!

    Fresh Strawberry and banana crepes. Yum!

    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!

    Took mom and iced coffee for my visit again today. This time from @screamingcat.icecream.coffee…read more I got myself the cinnamon toast crunch iced latte and her a cocoa puffs iced latte. Both delicious as can be with just the right amount of sweetness. Mom gets so excited when I visit and have an iced coffee for her and today was a little different. When she couldn't drink anymore (because it was empty) she began ripping her cup open to get all the excess whipped cream and cereal from inside the cup. She's never done that with any of the other coffees I've brought her from other places. So this definitely had me laughing and enjoying our visit today. I even made a little video that will come later on of her giving her "review" of her coffee. Maybe this will turn into a series or something. Who knows? But today was a great visit with lots of smiles and laughs.

    Stopped by this cute little coffee and ice cream shop for some much needed java. It was hard to…read morechoose what I wanted because everything sounded so good. I ended up ordering their most popular flavor the Dreamcatcher and it was perfect! It was not as sweet as you think it would be. It was a great balance of caramel & vanilla mixed with coffee. The employees were welcoming and friendly and the service was fast. I am anticipating my return visit to try the ice cream.
