I absolutely love Grounds of GRACE—every visit is an adventure! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and I always meet the friendliest people. Ron, the owner, is really cool and adds to the great vibe of the place. Most of the time, I grab a cup of coffee and catch the Holy Ghost at the same time! If you’re looking for great coffee, great people, and a place filled with grace, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Kemari is TOP NOTCH!! This was my first time coming in and she made the experience one I’d never forget. The turkey, egg, and cheese is immaculate and the refresher she personalized for me was exquisite! It was a strawberry banana refresher, I’ll definitely have a hard time trying something new it was so good! The ambiance is very neat, welcoming, and quiet with just enough background music. My new place to visit!

Today I visited a coffee shop called Grounds of Grace. It's a beautiful little cafe in the Arlington area of jacksonville. It generates revenue to be able to fund outreach ministries in the Jacksonville North side for women and children. As far as their store goes, take a look at the pictures and video. It has such a great setup and their coffee is fantastic. When you have some time and you're driving through Jacksonville, slide over here and grab a cup of espresso. Tell them Hanks sent you!

I have been meaning to try this place and needed to come sign the petition for Ron Armstrong for Mayor. It's super cute and has great ambience for studying. They serve cinottis pastries which is a treat and the coffee selection was extensive! I was here for about 2 hours and they had a lot of business take out and dine-in. There was a few young adults participating in bible study/fellowship which I thought was amazing I bought a few shirts from the shop and was able to get into my Word. The only thing I would recommend would be to play Christian music and not secular music, but I get it if they are trying to attract both customers. It just would have really set the tone better. Otherwise, great place and RON ARMSTRONG FOR MAYOR!

This place is very cosy, clean and the atmosphere is very calm and positive. The workers are caring, attentive and friendly. Their coffee is DELICIOUS!!!!! This place is so much better than Starbucks! The owner Ron is a blessing and gives back to the community! They should open more locations all over Jax! Highly recommend!

What a great place to hang out or work! Awesome coffee and amazing service. I highly recommend and am looking forward to spending more time here myself. Also has a nice place for kids to play, couches to sit, tables to work at, and an overflow area to take a meeting.

Grounds of Grace is a great spot to grab a drink with friends, hang out to do work, or play a quick game together. They have really good lattes and iced coffee. The vanilla cold foam cold brew was a little weak for our preference, but their espresso is tasty! I think the way people take care of their rest rooms shows a lot about how they treat their customers, and this one was very thoughtful. They have a change by table and even products for women to use who are on their monthly cycle. 10/10 recommend this spot.

I love coming to this cute little place. Very nice coffee shop/ lounge where you can order coffee or a pastry, and just sit and relax, read a book, complete studies, or work on your laptop. This establishment is Christian based and highlights their mission to reach out to the community and uplift, encourage, and guide others through God and a spiritual path for everyone. The coffee is delicious, the staff are wonderful and so sweet, I encourage everyone to stop by Grounds of Grace.
