Maple Street Biscuit Company

About

Before you dismiss Maple Street Biscuit Company as another biscuit joint with run-of-the-mill options, join us as we look closer. Like others, you'll discover that it offers some of the best Jacksonville Beach breakfasts.

Their website boasts, “Never Boring. Always Inspired.” While we’ll unpack the menu in more detail in our next section, we can offer a peak behind the curtain with the Squawking Goat. This biscuit, featured on the Food Network, has fried chicken with a goat cheese medallion topped with pepper jelly. It is definitely inspiring!

Another reason to consider visiting is that this fast-growing chain began in Jacksonville. Scott Moore and Gus Evans started the from-scratch, freshly-made biscuit eatery in 2012. While Cracker Barrel purchased Maple Street Biscuit Company in 2019, this local hero remains true to its roots.

The coffee at the eatery is top-notch. It is sourced from Muletown Coffee, a Tennessee company that specializes in small-batch roasting. You’ll taste their motto, “Have A Good One,” in every sip.

Aside from artisan biscuit creations, Maple Street Biscuit Company offers Twisty Entrees, which showcase waffles, bowls, and classic breakfasts. If you’re not a biscuit lover, opt for the breakfast tacos! These feature many of the same ingredients as their biscuits.

There are a few Maple Street Biscuit Companies in the Jacksonville area, but we’ll focus on the location near Atlantic Beach.

Now, let’s look into the atmosphere at this breakfast joint to see if it’s worth adding to your vacation itinerary.

Vibe

When you think of chain restaurants, you picture cookie-cutter facades and structures. While the company regulates key features like signage, most are unique in design and reflect their region.

You’ll find this to be true at the Jacksonville spot. The brick exterior, tin front porch roof, and brown porch columns blend into the surrounding area. The front porch offers street-side sunrise views, with shades that can be drawn when sunlight is too intense.

The interior has a shabby-chic meets industrial look. The exposed ceiling has open ductwork, and a painted brick wall has wood shelves displaying coffee and mugs for sale. Blackboard menus dot the same wall, listing specials and adding a downhome feel to the room.

Long wood tables dot the tiled floor, while smaller tables are available for a more intimate seating arrangement. The relaxed ambiance makes the spot ideal for a go-to breakfast and coffee before heading to the Beaches Museum.

The vibe at Maple Street Biscuit Company is friendly and feels locally owned and not part of a large corporation, adding one more reason to visit.

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?

Jacksonville Beach welcomes visitors throughout the year to enjoy its wonderful weather and prime events. 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.

If pigskin is more your style, Jacksonville is home to the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, so it’s easy to catch a game in season. 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).

Back on land, or rather in the waves, the Super Girl Surf Pro also hits Jacksonville Beach in the fall. Held at the Jacksonville Beach Pier, this is the world’s largest women’s surf, lifestyle, and music festival.

When your vacation plans include an adventure to Jacksonville Beach, you can be certain there’ll be plenty to see and do!
