Lucky Goat Coffee Co. is eyeing a second Jacksonville outpost in Bartram Village, according to city records, with plans for a cozy 1,409-square-foot café that would seat 34 and carry an estimated build-out tab of about $226,000. It is the latest sign that smaller coffee chains and franchises are quietly staking claims across South Jacksonville.
Permit Filed For Bartram Village Build-Out
The city is reviewing a building-permit application for a 34-seat Lucky Goat café in 1,409 square feet at 12553 Bartram Park Blvd., Unit 302, with an estimated project cost of $226,477, per Jax Daily Record. The application lists Rettner Building Management Corp. as the landlord, Cornerstone Consulting Engineers & Design Services Inc. of Allentown as the professional designer and LAY Construction of Jacksonville as the contractor. It identifies Sweeney Price LLC as the tenant and franchisee, and notes that Sweeney Price has applied to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation for a restaurant license at the Bartram Village address.
Lucky Goat’s Jacksonville Footprint And Menu
Lucky Goat already operates a Deerwood Park café at 10618 Deerwood Park Blvd., No. 1, with weekday hours starting at 6 a.m. and a lineup that includes brewed and cold-brew coffee, espresso, matcha and pastries, according to Lucky Goat Coffee Co.. The company says it began roasting in 2010 and moved into franchising in 2023, and its franchise materials and “Our Story” page list more than a dozen Florida shops plus additional locations across the Southeast, per Lucky Goat Coffee Co..
Bartram Village Context
Bartram Village sits at southeast Bartram Park Boulevard and Old St. Augustine Road, west of I-95, and has drawn outparcel development and national tenants, according to Jax Daily Record. With steady traffic patterns and nearby shopping, the center has become an attractive stop for both quick-serve and sit-down concepts aimed at South Jacksonville customers.
A Crowded Coffee Market
Lucky Goat’s proposed Bartram Village shop would join a growing crowd, as the South Jacksonville coffee scene keeps filling up with everything from drive-thru kiosks to neighborhood cafés. That trend was recently spotlighted in a look at the wave of new drive-thru kiosks and neighborhood cafés in the area. For now, the Bartram Village permit is under review and no opening date has been announced.
