San Marco

Southern Grounds San Marco sits at 1671 Atlantic Boulevard, right next to the FEC railroad tracks and a short walk from San Marco Square and the historic San Marco Theatre. A bright, modern café with industrial touches, ample indoor seating with community tables and couches, and a standout rustic patio with string lights facing Atlantic Boulevard where you can watch trains roll by.
We draw locals from San Marco and St. Nicholas, plus neighbors from Southbank and San Jose who stop in for morning coffee, work meetings, midday grain bowls, or evening wine on the patio. Near San Marco Square, San Marco Preservation Hall, Hendricks Avenue shops and restaurants, and Jacksonville's medical district, we're a natural stop for professionals, families, and anyone moving through the area throughout the day.
Inside, work-friendly seating with outlets and bar stools. Outside, a lighted sidewalk patio with gravel and rustic charm - and front-row seats to passing trains. We serve all-day breakfast, weekend brunch, fresh pastries from Blueberry Bakery, healthy bowls, and direct-trade Intelligentsia coffee, plus wine and beer through evening close at 9 p.m. Everything made clean and seed-oil-free with gluten-free and vegan options.
Grab your morning coffee, meet a colleague for lunch, work through the afternoon, or settle in for evening wine and dinner while trains pass by. Pick up catering for your team. Southern Grounds San Marco is where San Marco gathers for fresh food, great coffee, and a modern space that works from sunrise to evening.
