What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Great location for southern grounds. There is a good amount of seating inside as well as covered seating outside. We ordered iced vanilla lattes, and two breakfast bagels (one with bacon and one with sausage). They have lots of food and drink options here and the menu is organized and easy to read. Service was quick and drinks were great! Took "
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alright listen up, caffeine crew — Southern Grounds & Co in Atlantic Beach, FL is the real deal ☕🔥 I test every coffee shop by ordering my go-to: a caramel vanilla latte, and let me tell you — they nailed it. Perfectly sweet, smooth, and that extra shot had me feeling like I could wrestle a gator or at least power-wash the driveway twice as fast 🐊💪 The day before, I went across the street to another coffee spot that didn’t even have caramel syrup (yeah, I said it 😑). Needless to say, that was a sad latte experience. But Southern Grounds? They came in clutch. First visit, I grabbed a breakfast burrito that was chef’s kiss 🌯💋 — two sauces, one red, one green, both amazing (and yes, I forgot pics because I inhaled it). Second visit, I leveled up with a bacon and ham egg & cheese on an everything bagel, and holy smokes, it was 🔥🔥🔥 SO good. Between the killer coffee, awesome food, and laid-back beach vibes, this place has officially earned a spot in my caffeine hall of fame 🏆☕️ I’d happily move in if they’d let me."
"They have a nice outdoor courtyard but one of the stores nearby is some kind of body shop, and a woman from that store came out to tell us to be quiet when we were out in the courtyard enjoying hot chocolate with our children. Sorry but no."
"We’re at the soft opening right now, and the atmosphere is amazing—great people, music, and vibes all around. The appetizers they’re serving are absolutely mind-blowing. This is real restaurant-quality food with creative, surprising flavors—not just heavy, loaded bites, but things like buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pork and Feta with a distinctly Italian twist. I’m honestly so impressed with this place. I’ll definitely be coming back once they’re open for regular hours."
"This new location is perfect, same as the others: food is delicious and coffee is amazing, in love with Southern Grounds!"
"Wandered over to this place which is also on the JAX coffee donut trail. It's got outdoor seating and indoor seating. You order at the counter and if you're..."
