Avondale

Southern Grounds Avondale is a coffee shop and restaurant at 3562 Saint Johns Ave in the Shoppes of Avondale — a historic building that has been part of Avondale's retail heart for decades. High ceilings, natural light from multiple angles, and several distinct rooms that shift from morning coffee spot to private event venue without losing their character.

We draw locals from Avondale and Riverside, plus neighbors from Ortega and Murray Hill who come for weekend brunch and weekday lunches. Steps from Boone Park and Riverside Park, surrounded by the boutiques and restaurants that make Saint Johns Ave walkable, we're a daily stop for families, professionals, and anyone who needs a real place to land.

Inside: multiple rooms with ample natural light, high ceilings, and seating for every pace. Free Wi-Fi. Outside: a covered dog-friendly patio facing Saint Johns Ave. We serve direct-trade Intelligentsia coffee, all-day breakfast and brunch, dinner, scratch-made bowls, and Blueberry Bakery pastries — from a Mediterranean-inspired scratch kitchen cooking in extra virgin olive oil and beef tallow. Seed-oil-free options identified on the menu. beer and wine. Walk-in only.
