Our Third Place

Looking for your new favorite neighborhood hangout? Our Third Place is a one-of-a-kind community market in Murray Hill that blends vintage shopping, local artistry, and cozy gathering spaces into one welcoming destination. Wander through curated booths filled with affordable vintage finds, unique home décor, handmade goods from local artisans, lush plants, fresh flowers, and delicious baked treats that make every visit feel special. Whether you're hunting for a hidden treasure, supporting Jacksonville's small businesses, or simply looking for a relaxing place to spend an afternoon with friends, there's always something new waiting to be discovered! 

Petronita's

Petronita's is Jacksonville's newest must-try, serving up elevated Southern and Latin cuisine with a whole lot of heart. It's fine dining with a cozy twist, no stuffy vibes here- just a coursed tasting menu where the kitchen does all the deciding for you. This month's lineup was a total win, featuring Shrimp and Gouda Grits, a mojo-roasted Cuban Breakfast Skillet, watermelon shrimp ceviche, duck tostadas, braised short rib, and a tres leches bread pudding worth the trip alone, but don't get too attached; the menu switches it up every month. Named for a woman known for welcoming everyone to the table, Petronita's brings that same spirit to its communal dining room, where guests share the table (and the experience) with total strangers who quickly become friends. This hidden gem is officially one to watch. 

Coastal Farmer

Coastal Farmer just planted its flag in Atlantic Beach, and it's basically everything you want in an oceanfront hangout. Tucked inside the Dune House Hotel & Spa, this modern steakhouse and tide-to-table spot serves up rock lobster strozzapreti, steak frites, and a citrus mascarpone French toast worth waking up early for, all sourced fresh from local farms and Mayport fishing boats. There's caviar service if you're feeling fancy, a patio you can stroll onto straight from the sand, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner covered so there's really no bad time to show up.

Neptune Beach Farmer's Market

Spend your Sunday morning soaking up the coastal charm at the Neptune Beach Farmer's Market! Wander through stalls packed with fresh produce, baked goods, and one-of-a-kind finds from local makers and artisans, all while soaking up live music and neighborly vibes. Whether you're restocking the pantry or hunting for a special gift, this market has something for everyone. Bring your shopping bags and get ready to support the farmers, bakers, and artists who make Neptune Beach so special.  

Fatboy Fried Rice

Fatboy Fried Rice is officially leveling up with its first-ever brick-and-mortar in Mandarin, and Jacksonville could not be more ready. Known for bold, crave-worthy plates like sisig fried rice, beef bulgogi, and crispy chicken lumpia, this food truck favorite built a following on generous portions and flavor that hits like a warm hug. The new spot on Old St. Augustine Rd is joining the crew's Southside, Westside, and Northside trucks, not replacing them, so you've got even more ways to get your fix. Whether you're a fried rice purist or ready to branch into hibiscus-glazed pork chops, Fatboy has a plate with your name on it.

The Corner Station

Corner Station Coffee is bringing a fresh dose of vintage charm and seriously good coffee to Jacksonville Beach, and locals are already loving this new spot! Inspired by classic motorcycles, old-school style, and a passion for community, this coffee shop is the perfect place to slow down, fuel up, and enjoy the ride. With handcrafted details, a laid-back atmosphere, and plenty of local character, Corner Station is more than just a coffee stop. Whether you’re rolling in after a beach cruise, catching up with friends, or looking for your new favorite coffee hangout, this spot is serving up great drinks and even better vibes. 

Sip N Smash

Sip N Smash is bringing serious smash burger energy to Gate Parkway, and Jacksonville's about to have a new obsession. Every patty starts with a custom brisket and short rib blend, smashed fresh to order and topped with homemade sauces - never anything frozen or pre-made. The fries get the same no-shortcuts treatment, fried in 100% beef tallow for that extra-crispy finish, and the shakes are hand-spun in-house daily. Menu standouts include The OG with sautéed onions and smash sauce, the Jalapeño Hot Honey for those who like a little heat with their sweet, and The Fungi for mushroom and black garlic lovers. Sip N Smash also teamed up with local favorite Mini Bar Donuts, making it the only spot on Gate Parkway serving up their small-batch, rotating-flavor donuts fresh every day. Burger joint doesn't quite cover it. 

The Buoy

The Buoy is officially reeling in Fairfax with fresh, local seafood done right. Owner Tito Quinones built the menu around one simple rule: no frozen fish, just catches from Florida and nearby Georgia waters, backed by the motto "Caught near. Served here." Expect line-caught snapper and yellowtail, Homestead farm-raised salmon, and standout roasted oysters Rockefeller-style with collard greens, breadcrumbs, and parmesan. Market pricing keeps things fresh, but you can count on a shrimp basket, Cuban sandwich, or catfish po'boy to always be on the menu. With a full bar and happy hour on the way, this newly renovated spot is shaping up to be the neighborhood's new go-to for lunch, dinner, or just hanging with neighbors.

Rakia Coffee

Rakia Coffee just opened up on Beach Blvd, and it's already the dreamiest new coffee shop in Jax. The vibe is nostalgic and peaceful, the kind of spot you settle into with a laptop and never want to leave (bonus, there are plenty of plugs for studying). The menu covers all the bases, coffee, matcha, tea, and house-made pastries, plus dreamy house-made syrups like Orange Blossom Cardamom. Matcha fans should go straight for the uji matcha if it's available, and the almond bostock is an easy 10 out of 10. Whether you're stopping in for a quick latte or settling in for a study session, Rakia is officially the new Jacksonville favorite worth telling your friends about 

Cafecito

Jacksonville's creative scene just found its new home. Cafecito is the city's freshest independent café, bringing a one-of-a-kind coffee experience and community energy to the heart of Jax. This dynamic space goes far beyond your average coffee shop, with handcrafted lattes made from house-made syrups and bold flavors like hojicha, matcha, and ube inside an atmosphere so sleek and colorful it feels like sipping espresso in a modern art gallery. Cafecito is also a creative hub where Jacksonville's makers, startups, and media creators gather and connect, hosting everything from fashion shows to intimate meetups. Locals are already raving, and with a 5-star reputation built by genuine Jax residents, it's easy to see why. Jacksonville has been waiting for a third space that matches its energy, and Cafecito is finally here!

Boost Coffee

Boost Coffee has officially pulled up to Jacksonville's Westside with a drive-thru built for people who run on good coffee and zero extra steps. This new spot is serving up lattes, refreshers, energy drinks, protein shakes, and all the coffee classics, made fast and exactly how you like them. Whether you're cooling down with a flavor-forward refresher, powering through with a clean energy drink, or just grabbing your go-to latte on the way to work, Boost has something for every kind of day. Swing by the drive-thru and give your morning a serious upgrade.

Makai Poke & Musubi

Makai Poke & Musubi has officially brought authentic Hawaiian poke to Jacksonville's Riverside neighborhood, and your lunch game will never be the same! This fresh new spot is serving up traditional Hawaiian poke bowls in bold flavor profiles like Classic Shoyu, Spicy Hawaiian, and Ahi Limu, plus a lineup of beloved musubi including Spam, Tuna Mayo, and Salmon Furikake. Made daily and served the Hawaiian way, everything here is about letting the fish shine, no salad bar chaos, no shortcuts. Open every day starting at 11AM (or until they sell out, so don't sleep on it!), head over to Riverside and taste what Jacksonville has been missing!

Oxford Place

Jacksonville's Ortega neighborhood just got a seriously delicious upgrade! Oxford Place has opened inside one of the area's most beloved 103-year-old landmarks, thoughtfully restored and ready to impress. This family-owned spot from Hughes Brown and his father Jerry is dishing out refined Southern and New Orleans-inspired cuisine that hits that sweet spot between comfort food and something truly special. Think Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread with whipped honey butter, Chicken Ballotine with local mushrooms and crispy shallots, and Semolina Gnocchi with pesto and grilled squash. Whether someone's stopping in for a laid-back lunch or settling into a long evening out, Oxford Place has the kind of warm atmosphere and thoughtful menu that keeps people coming back.

Now with a brand new veranda home at Mamasamas, they're serving up Australian-inspired brews, Strawberry Matchas, iced lattes, and the cult-favorite Orange Spritz to anyone ready to take it slow and sip something special!

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co.

If you haven't heard of Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co., you're seriously missing out! Co-founders Hatem and Munif spent eight years grinding (pun intended) to build a supply chain for one of the rarest coffees on the planet. Yemen has been sipping on arguably the world's best coffee for over 500 years, and Qamaria is finally bringing that magic stateside with single-origin, single-lot beans that are sustainably sourced and uniquely roasted to perfection. Every sip also supports the farmers and artisans behind it all, so yeah, it's basically the perfect cup of coffee.
