Southern Grounds San Marco is a coffee shop and restaurant at 1671 Atlantic Blvd — right next to the FEC railroad tracks, two blocks from San Marco Square and the historic San Marco Theatre. The train-watching patio is the signature: string lights, gravel underfoot, front-row seats to passing freight trains that San Marco regulars treat as a daily ritual.
We draw locals from San Marco and St. Nicholas, professionals from the nearby medical district, and neighbors from Southbank and San Jose. Near San Marco Square, San Marco Preservation Hall, and Hendricks Avenue shops, we're a natural stop all day — for morning coffee, team lunches, and evening wine on the patio.
Inside: bright, modern space with industrial touches, community tables, couches, bar stools, and outlets throughout — a remote-work-friendly café with free Wi-Fi all day. Outside: patio with string lights and the railroad view. We serve direct-trade Intelligentsia coffee, all-day breakfast and brunch, dinner, scratch-made bowls, and fresh Blueberry Bakery pastries — all 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.
Open daily 6:30 AM–9 PM. Parking lot adjacent, plus additional parking across the tracks.
