Cool Coffee in Jacksonville.

We arrived in Jacksonville Florida around 430 a.m.- and logic should have led us to immediately fall asleep, yet your d2tg team decides to stay awake until 6 for the free breakfast which accompanies our 40 dollar hotel room.
So, falling asleep at 645 and waking at 1040 to some loud noise outside our door, we are in desperate need of a cup of coffee. Having eaten breakfast before going to sleep, we wake too late for the free coffee of the hotel, so we head off into town.

We come across a quiet coffee shop (Sunday mornings are slow, they told us) in a wealthy suburb like area a few miles outside of the business district of Jacksonville. Pulp, its called, and its selling regular cups of coffee at $2.50 a cup (quite steep). But this $2.50 isn't simply for a cup of a gallon pot of joe. Rather, it is for a coffee brewed only for you, one cup at a time.

What we really liked about Pulp was the ways you could have
Your coffee made (french press, turkish (or "ibrik"), manual drip, moka pot) and the love of organic ingredients. The barista at Pulp was tremendously friendly and took time to patiently explain each brewing method to the customer. With every type of coffee we ordered was an offer of steamed organic milk (which we all declined). A classy coffee indeed.

The cup of coffee itself was excellent, though our team didn't universally have excellent coffee. I had the house blend, french press brewed, with organic half and half and turbinado sugar.

Pulp Jacksonville has a new chic feel with a particularly unique (but not coffee related) custom self serve ice cream sundae station in the back of the store. As its in Florida, we recommend you take your coffee to go and enjoy the outdoor seating in the sun.
