The owner and his daughter were very kind, the owner even shared his experience of how he got into roasting coffee. I really like the homey feel of the place, and the beans (both grounded and whole beans) are absolutely delicious and they have a pretty good amount of different kinds to choose from. I highly recommend coming here!!

Good enough that I bought a pound of beans. Not amazing, but fresh and good. The breakfast sandwiches were the star of the show. I had the double-meat, double-egg one. Can't remember the name, but 'twas excellent. Pick your bread (bagel or croissant), pick your meat. Simple, good fare. Service was good, friendly, and timely. Ambience? Not much to look at, small, but enough seating to do the trick. It's not the decor that will bring you back, but you'll probably be back.

The AWESOME latte actually contained espresso resulting in a more coffee forward taste rather than the muddy milk flavour that many other places try to pass off as lattes.

Another accessible and cute spot in "old" Jacksonville. Our friends mentioned this place as a…read morepossibility to stop in for lunch. We stepped inside (to escape the heat, at the minimum), and checked out the menu. We found the food menu interesting enough to order and stay. In addition to food, coffee and tea (matcha & chai) and adult beverages are served. My wife and I each ordered the Hug-A-Hero sandwich, that with each purchase as the menu states, the store donates a portion of the proceeds to the Hug-A-Hero organization, that "brings comfort to military families." We ordered it because the sandwich components looked tasty. And the sandwiches arrived impeccably crafted and sliced, with the flavors we hoped for. The goat cheese and house-made creamy pesto aioli really set this sandwich apart from just being another turkey sandwich on some fancy bread. For sides we chose the creamy potato salad with pieces of potato -nicely blended and smooth taste- and the pasta, Arugala, pine nut salad. Service was good. (Side note: First time I've been named "Blue Shirt Guy Couple" on my order ticket and it made me smile). Seating in the narrow (but normal layout for this building) space is organized by tables on one side and chairs and a counter down the other side. Business was steady during this lunch time and the bistro definitely deserves a return visit.

Unlike anything in the area, this is serious cooking at a reasonable price. All four dishes our…read moreparty had were excellent. The steak with Bearnaise sauce was done superbly; the broiled grouper was excellent. We have tried to find good seafood that is not fried - this is the first we have found. The Mac and Cheese with shrimp and crab meat was delicious, although the crab got a little lost. The shrimp and grits had perfectly-cooked shrimp, which you can find around here sometimes, but the grits were less than perfection. The service was good, although the server was filling in for the normal server, who was ill. She let us know she was a little out of practice, but she did fine. The ambiance is, well, not for a first date. Go there for the food with someone you know well, and you will get a first-rate meal for $40 - $50 per person.

The cold pressed ginger shots are so fresh and delicious too, they give me the perfect energy boost. Everything is healthy, organic, and super fresh.

I love their acai bowls, chicken bacon wraps and fresh ginger shots! I've also tried the fresh squeezed juices and they're amazing. I can't get enough of this place! I highly recommend taking a tub of their peanut butter home, it's delicious and you won't regret it!

I have been travelling to Jacksonville NC for a while and see Smithfield's (what seems like)…read moreeverywhere. I go past and think....BBQ sounds good. When I went it was after work and I was on the hungry side. I park the rental and go inside. First thing I notice was how clean the place was. Spotless. A dude was cleaning the tables, another person was cleaning the windows. Spotless. The menu is straight forward. You can smell the chicken and pork cooking. I decide on the Bar B-Q sandwich. I get a side of baked beans. She takes the order and I grab a seat. It's not long and my order is ready. I took it for takeout and went back to the hotel. The sandwich didn't taste right. I am good with the coleslaw on the sandwich but the meat had an off taste to it. The baked beans could have been better...they had a funk to them that couldn't be ignored. So, the advice from my coworkers was right. My next visit to Jacksonville will include a different BBQ restaurant.
