Love this farmers market. Lots of local vendors. Grab a lemonade for the kids, a coffee for yourself and some sourdough and produce.
Atlantic Beach Farmers' Market
Restaurants
One of my favorite places! Get the Pimento Roja to drink. For food the banging shrimp taco, Deb’s Verde and dirty bird are my fav. Definitely a side of street corn.
TacoLu
Really good Thai food.
Blue Orchid Thai
The best Italian! Used to be a food truck. Save room for dessert. Their cannoli is my favorite!
Catullo’s Italian
Love this for a fun Saturday or Sunday brunch situation. The Goatacado Salad with blackened shrimp is my favorite! They also have good drinks!
The Local
This is the best seafood. I always take people here when they are visiting. The blackened mani sandwich or fried shrimp basket are my go-to.
Dockside Seafood Restaurant Jax Beach
Other Food & Drinks
Best bakery at the beach . Cookies, cakes, donuts and more. If you visit in the fall you HAVE to get their pumpkin donuts. They are the best. I love their sandwiches too.
Cinotti's Bakery-Sandwich Shop
I usually eat here once a week. My go-to is the Cajun chicken breast sub with lettuce, tomato, and ranch.
Sun Deli
Love the Neptune Beach location. The outside courtyard is a good vibe. I love a basic honey latte from here. If you want to try something more fun get the camp fire mocha, Samoa, or French toast latte.
Southern Grounds
Such a cute spot. I always get a spicy chocolate latte. So good and something different.
Bold Bean Coffee Roasters
Cross between a sports bar and a brewery. Good food and good beers.
Strings Sports Brewery – Jacksonville Family Brewery & Restaurant
Great spot for a smoothie and poke bowl.
Fla Juice & Bowl
Homespun has my favorite acia bowl. Grab one to-go and head to southern grounds for a coffee and sit in the courtyard.
Homespun Kitchen
