Mechanism, congratulations on the second location located in e town! Everyone I encountered at this…read morelocation was extremely friendly, warm and welcoming, including the customers in line with me. And now you are wondering - why 4/5 stars and not 5/5. So, let's get straight into it. Iced chai, location, April specials, customer service, indoor & outdoor vibes, merch, - all 5/5. Price and hours - 3/5. Closing at 2pm - that's hella early to close both locations. Would love to pull up to either location and work remotely. We cannot accomplish this task when a cute and tasty coffee shop with loads of natural lighting closes right after lunch. Real honesty: We love you guys so much we want more of you, that's all. Second - $1 upcharge for oat and almond milk. Guys, why are we still doing this in 2026 - Especially if the price of the drink is already high enough to include a milk swap for those out there who are lactose intolerant. Trust me, most of us aren't trying to be difficult or boujee, we just don't want to be running to the bathroom in your establishment and embarrassing ourselves. I ordered 2 Small iced drinks. With a $2 tip, it came to a lil over $20 and some change. Thats wild if you ask me. I could order a whole meal for twenty bucks. I took my drinks outside on that swagalicious patio though and drank 1/2 of each before peelin out before close. I did enjoy mechanism's cute space for a good 10 mins before leaving. My iced cinnamon chai April special - MF one of the Best chai's I've ever had! No joke. This girl had some kick! She was spicy and I liked it! Loads of flavor. Iced lucky latte: I would not order again but was a very cute and fun try with the lucky charms on top. I actually did not finish this one and happily finished my chai. I did not taste any pistachio flavor in the lucky latte but again, she was pretty and the cold foam was quite delicious. I would absolutely come again and support by ordering only 1 drink next time mainly for price purposes. I do highly recommend their chai if you love a true chai flavor where you can taste the spice and it isn't watered down like a lot of coffee shops like to do. The chai was a great quality chai tea. Again, that was one of the best chai's I've ever ordered in jacksonville ever. I was very pleased with it. If you catch yourself wanting to try a new coffee shop and you are near the e town neighborhood, (and it's before 2pm) swing in and give mechanism a chance. I loved the staff and it's a warm and welcoming atmosphere with all of the gorgeous natural light coming in the shop.

The gelato here is very smooth and creamy & there are so many flavors to choose from. I had the banana in a waffle cone. My husband had the chocolate in a cup. We both loved our choices. He actually said it's one of the best chocolate flavors he's ever had. And trust me he's had a lot of chocolate frozen desserts. Art also makes sweet and savory crepes, desserts like tiramisu and cannoli. They serve all kinds of coffees like espresso, hot or ice, Greek coffee, and they even have decaf available. Parking is easy here and if you come with the little ones, there's a little table in the back for them to sit at and color while they have their gelato. I really like the screen they have that shows a video of them making the gelato. This place has only been open a few months. Highly recommend stopping in and supporting them so we can keep small mom and pop businesses like this around Jacksonville.

I ordered The Dime (or was it the "Five"?).... whichever one is the biscuits and gravy with fried chicken, without the egg. I've never had anything like it. Delish. Sinful. Better than anything I could've subscribed to on OnlyFans. This was the pinnacle of comfort-food porn -- soft-core, dripping in gravy, and oh so savory. (You get the picture.) The only downside? My family's in Italy for the month, so I had to experience this masterpiece alone. Honestly, their loss -- Italy over Maple Street? Amateur move. Even the fresh-squeezed orange juice blew me away. Apparently, October is peak season, and my taste buds agree. I dined like a man granted his last meal -- and after this, I'm not sure I need another.

It was really good and full of flavor. Definitely recommend this if you are undecided on what to order! I also ordered a side order of the Smash Browns. They were good was well. Everything was nice and clean! The only negative thing I have to say; the restaurant music and the cooks music was not the same. Their music was very loud and it was the "screaming heavy metal" type. It was over powering the music that was playing directly above us. Don't get me wrong; it's not about the type of music playing but the volume of it vs what was in the sit down area. I really think the workers knew about because they were out there wiping tables and cleaning so they must've had to hear it. Other than that food was great.

We shared a plate of the bacon tacos because we wanted a snack, not a meal. Carl says his coffee is bitter. I made his cup 3/4 bold 1/4 light. He added a lot of sugar. I felt the tacos were ok. Nothing special. The salsa seemed flavorless. I mixed it with sour cream and Tabasco sriracha and that was a tasty mix. Tortillas were soft - just right to keep all the contents inside. I'd put a little crisp on the tortilla and melt the cheese to it to elevate these to something worth having on the menu. Bathroom was well stocked and acceptably clean. I wish businesses would pay more attention to wiping down soap dispensers and door. Service was fast and friendly. Business was clean and quiet. Music was low enough to hear but still talk in a normal voice.

The coffee was hot and kept coming, which is always a big win. A special shoutout to our waitress, Cassy--she was an absolute delight. Friendly, attentive, quick, and efficient, all while making sure we never felt rushed. She really made the experience even better.
