The monument sign out front displays funny one-liners that will pique one's curiosity and is a foretaste of the fun times awaiting inside.

The turquoise color continues inside, acting as accents above the windows and on trim and seat cushions. The large room has a vaulted ceiling, and seating is plentiful at tables or booths. The covered front porch provides street views, but seating is limited.

The bar area is tucked in a corner near the front and has strung patio lights for a festive atmosphere. Several bar stools line the counter for those dining alone or seeking a cold beverage.

Jax Beach Brunch Haus: Menu & Drinks

Okay, we baited you initially with some of the name zingers. Now, let's pull back the curtain and see what JBBH offers.

Let's start with coffee since it is a "must-have" for most first thing in the morning. They offer a brewed house blend along with French press and cold brew. The espresso list has many choices, from shots to lattes and cappuccinos. Toss in a Vietnamese iced coffee and the house-made syrups, and you'll find everything you need for a caffeine jolt.

The Bodacious Bennis is a clever way of describing the various eggs Benedict offered, such as the Classic Haus Benni. This meal features a toasted

English Muffins stacked with spinach, corned beef, poached eggs, Haus Hollandaise sauce, and bacon crumbles are deep and rich in flavor and texture.

Under the Griddle Grub section of the menu, check out the Haus KFFT (Korean Fried French Toast.) This mouth-watering breakfast features kimchi, gochujang-glazed fried chicken, a poached egg, and sesame maple glaze finished with green onions. It's a sweet, salty, and savory wake-up call!

Brunch and lunch options range from a homemade bacon-wrapped meatloaf and pressed Cuban sandwich to Hare Fare (salads). A popular Hare Fare, especially before exploring North Beaches Art Walk, is the Strawberry Fields Forever, which features spinach, strawberries, candied pecans, goat cheese, crumbled Texas smoked bacon, and a homemade balsamic glaze vinaigrette.

As the saying goes, "It's 5 o'clock somewhere," so look over the Brunch-tails for your favorite morning cocktail. You'll also find a balanced selection of mimosas, champagne, and brews.

One classic Brunch-tail is Breakfast at Tiffany's with butterscotch schnapps, Tullamore D.E.W. Whiskey, orange juice, and bacon. Proof that everything tastes better with bacon!

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a recommended one-day itinerary in Jacksonville Beaches?

Start the day off along 3rd St. at Jax Beach Brunch Haus for everything from basic breakfast favorites to hearty brunch options and tasty brunch-tails that go way beyond mere mimosas. From JBBH it’s a short hop over to the Jacksonville Beach Golf Course for those looking to spend a day on the greens.

On the north side of 3rd St., step into Maple Street Biscuit Co. for coffee and their self-proclaimed biscuits that wow. After breakfast, walk to Jacksonville Beach’s extended pier. Enjoy a stroll out over the Atlantic Ocean, or watch anglers casting their fishing lines. This is a great way to enjoy fishing in the area, especially if you don’t have enough time to go out on a boat. If surfing is more your style, be sure to hit the waves. Atlantic Beach to the north is more apt for novice surfers, while swells near the Jacksonville Beach Pier can be more challenging as this is the area’s high-tide break.

For lunch, savor the region’s fresh seafood as restaurants in Jacksonville and across the First Coast proudly serve fresh Mayport shrimp. Take in the view at Dockside Seafood restaurant to satisfy your shrimp cravings. Or, try Palm Valley Fish Camp in Ponte Vedra south of Jacksonville Beach after visiting the famed TPC Sawgrass golf course.

Many people who visit Jacksonville Beach are simply asking, where can I go to relax? Consider Neptune Beach to the north, a less crowded beach with calmer waves and plenty of space to spread out. A stroll through Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park is also a calm way to spend the day. If visiting downtown Jacksonville, the Riverwalk along St. John’s River provides ample walking space and benches to relax on while enjoying the view.

Wrap up the evening in Jacksonville Beach with the warm and elegant setting of Eleven South. This award-winning restaurant provides an exquisite fine dining experience to top off your day. For more casual fare, stop by TacoLu for fresh baja tacos and tequila with the essence of Florida.

Why is Jacksonville known as the First Coast?

People often refer to this part of northern Florida hugging the Atlantic Ocean as the “First Coast” (sometimes called the “Historic Coast”). Today, the First Coast moniker has come to represent it as the first coast in Florida that tourists visit when traveling southbound along the Atlantic seaboard. The name initially represented this area as the first part of Florida colonized by Europeans in the 16th century. Both the French and the Spanish settled into this part of northern Florida on lands of the Mocama and the Timucua. Further down the coast, St. Augustine was Florida’s first European settlement.

What are the biggest main events around Jacksonville Beach?

Each March, The Players Championship attracts golf aficionados from across the globe to our beckoning beaches.TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra has been home to The Players Championship of the PGA Tour since 1982.

Another highlight, though up in the sky over Jacksonville’s Naval Air Station, is the NAS Jax Air Show. Birthplace of the Blue Angels, the NAS Jax Air Show generally takes place mid-October each year (check the event site for upcoming dates and program changes).
