Maple Street Biscuit Company

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.
