Cafe Resistance Bookstore & Coffee Shop

I've been wanting to check out Cafe Resistance for a minute. I respect Angie Nixon as an elected representative in Florida so supporting her business has been high on my list for awhile so the alignment of me passing through Jacksonville provided the opportunity for me to do so. I got the Mango & Banana smoothie with Sea Moss added in and Coconut Water as the base. The smoothie was worth it and affordable. I also got to pick up a few stickers for only $2 each. If you are looking for a local & Black owned business to support during Black History Month then definitely support Cafe Resistance. You will not regret it!

This is an awesome place. My smoothie was dope and flavorful. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I really felt like I was at home. A positive vibe. Books for the kids. Conscious books for adults. And a great place to come and have a conversation. I drove 47 minutes to get here and it was worth it. 100%.

This spot is a vibe. The books are amazing with some rare finds. I ordered the carne asada salad which sounds so bougie I love it lol. If you don’t know - I didn’t - it is a Mexican marinated beef. The salad was so good -fresh, delicious, and filling. Next time I’m back for a smoothie. With sea moss, elderberry, ginger, and other powerhouse add-ins, I’m convinced drinking these on the regular could make me invincible. I’m looking forward to testing the theory.

Found my new favorite lunch spot during a meeting! The chicken wrap was flavorful and fresh, and the fruit smoothie was the perfect boost. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, ideal for a quick bite or a chill work session. I’m already planning my next visit for their açaí bowl!

Such a safe and wholesome place with a wide range of beautiful books and great smoothies. Run by an absolute gem of a human and servant leader Rep Angie Nixon 💗. So many community events are held there as well, I cannot stress how much of a haven this is not only a bookstore.

I absolutely love it! The coffee, food, and the vibes are all immaculate. The turkey salad with garlic hummus and iced lavender matcha are HEAVENLY🤤. This is a peaceful spot to come and be productive. I can’t get enough of the atmosphere❤️.

The food was delicious! The variety of books is excellent. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The person behind the counter gave wonderful service. We will be back again!
