I had some glowing recommendations to make the trek from Jacksonville to this great little coffee shop in Green Cove Springs. Not only did this place live up to the hype, but it far exceeded my expectations. If I could rate more than five stars, I would. Such a quaint space invites customers to come in, get comfortable and stay a while. The store has long hours so you can enjoy breakfast and coffee in the morning, a bakery treat in the afternoon and ice cream in the evening. If it were closer to me, I'm certain I would visit often and at all times of the day to enjoy this great find, and I will absolutely be back.
Friendly employees are patient with new customers like me who drool over the pastry case (fortunately not literally) and struggle to make a decision for breakfast. The "ice princess" coffee and biscuits were suggested from my trusted foodie friends so I ordered the coffee, hot and it was absolutely perfection for my taste buds. I would not have thought of the combination of an espresso latte with peppermint, white chocolate and raspberry, but this heavenly delight did make me feel like doing a happy dance like a princess with every sip. All of the specialty drinks are available hot, iced, or blended so in warmer months this would also be amazing frappe style. My husband liked the regular coffee though found the flavor slightly floral. I really enjoyed the smooth Brass Tacks coffee, so much better than those big name coffee shops.
For breakfast, I decided on the custom biscuit sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheddar cheese, with an upgrade of the avocado spread. The spread was absolutely worth the little extra charge. Overall a very reasonably priced breakfast. The biscuit was tender and probably the tastiest I have ever had, my friends were not kidding that they would impress me. The fresh, quality ingredients inside the biscuit complimented by the creamy spread made this a beautiful, hearty breakfast.
As an added bonus after your treat at Spring Park Coffee you can walk around the lovely spring park in Green Cove Springs and enjoy the park, spring, and river views. Of course if you are feeling princess-like after such a happy, satisfying meal, you may be inspired to skip and dance through the park instead. Such a great location and absolutely worth the drive.
