Chamblin's Uptown

My favorite little hidden gem in Jacksonville!!! I like to go there and escape and roam the endless aisles of new and used books! There's a cute little coffeeshop attached that I love!

Bookstore and cafe with a huge selection of all genres, including local writers, board games, a music and movie selection, too! Don't forget to visit the second floor like we did. They have used and new books and there is truly something for everyone. There were also curated staff picks if you're looking for a recommendation. The cafe has lots of seating for enjoying your book or anything that you purchase at the cafe. We got a fruit crumble bar and it was delicious. Will definitely be visiting again on our next trip to Jacksonville.

This is the smaller Chamblins but let me tell you if you want a happy and cozy afternoon coffee. Or morning coffee, this is your place! It's so delish ! I finally got an egg and cheese sandwich this morning, very good and a great price! The coffee is always great as well! The workers are so kind and quick !

Nice coffee shop across from the library. This place has outside seating and inside seating. You order when you first walk in. You seat yourself. They deliver the good to your seat. I tried the iced chair tea over ice with jerk tempeh wrap. The wrap was nice. The flavor was ruch. The iced chai tea over ice was perfect choice for my wrap. The flavors all balanced out perfectly.They do NOT have a military discount.

Absolutely love this little book store and cafe! I ordered my lunch and then took a look through the book store. I had their everything wrap and the matcha latte, which were both delicious. The book store has a hugeeeee selection of books and genres. I love that there is a selection of Jacksonville history. Definitely a good place to stop and have a quick bite or have a coffee date.

you will not find a better bagel / bagel sandwich in jax than the big bang bagel. I crave this. I live for this. this bagel consumes my mind. big bang bagel with jalapeño cheddar for 8$.the service is always 5/5food is delicious and fresh and fast 5/5coffee is incredible (oat milk white mocha) 5/5

I recently visited this bookstore during my visit to Jacksonville. This location I believe is located in the downtown area. I didn't see any parking lots, but there are paid street parking. Walking in, you can either go straight into the bookstore or turn left to go to the cafe. I didn't try any of their food or drinks, but the cafe had plenty of table/seats to relax in. The bookstore portion of it consists of 2 floors. You can find a map of the store at the cashier table. There are rows and rows of books in each floor, but they are surprisingly organized by genre and authors. They also sell both new and used books, which is great for those who are trying to save some money or trying to find some classic books. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

LOVE this bookstore. If you're a lover of books, you'll love this bookstore. This is a place to release wonderful books to others for cash or store credit and to pick up new faves. You can spend hours in this place looking at all the books they have. They also have a cute little cafe where you can grab a bite to eat. Everybody working there is pretty nice. I did go one time and there was a man instead of the ladies who normally work- he was not as pleasant. But the ladies who work there are very nice. They give good prices on the books you sell to them. Parking might not be great because it's downtown... but the walk is worth it.... Because BOOKS! This is also a great place to park it in front of your computer and work... super cozy and quiet.

Not going to lie this place is fire. I often come here before work to grab breakfast and coffee. My go to is the Vegan wrap add bacon. (I like to eat healthy sometimes) and a Matcha Latte with almond milk. The local is very convenient and close to everything in Downtown Jacksonville. Great place to get some work done or to take a lunch break. I love the Brick and Beam rustic vibe.

This is a cool little locally owned coffee spot inside of a used bookstore, which makes it even better! They have a breakfast and lunch menu that is available all day and the cubano coffee was delicious! There are also about a dozen tables if you wish to sit down and relax while you enjoy your drink. Very nice baristas who keep things moving nicely. Really glad I stumbled upon it as it was one of only a few spots downtown that was open on a Sunday.
