Holy Grounds has become like home to me, and they are like my family. The staff creates a lovely and welcoming atmosphere. I was such a regular I was introduced in their staff meeting. LOL. They know you by name and make you feel safe, comfortable and special. Even when I am having one of those days - they create a bright spot in your day. I am now here almost everyday working from my table. I love to see how they interact with the community. So many book clubs, bible study groups, mahjong, knitters and much much more. I love the Thursday game nights - Bingo(I won one round), board game night for people to socialize, bible trivia and sip and paint. The painting was so much fun!! We are coming back next week. So if you are looking for a place to fit in or find your people. This is the place to go to.

Holy Grounds was the perfect spot to chill after skydiving! We found it down the road afterwards. Coffee was amazing, avocado toast great! We got a Hot French Toast Latte (left) and Iced Cookies & Cream Latte (right). Could see myself coming to study or do work for a few hours, or meet with friends. Furniture was so comfy, and super clean as well.

As out-of-town visitors to Fernandina Beach, we stumbled upon Holy Grounds Coffee House and couldn’t be happier we did! The atmosphere is incredibly warm and inviting, with cozy seating and a welcoming vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. It’s clear this place is designed for connection and community, which we loved. The customer service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. The staff made us feel like regulars, even though it was our first visit. They were great with our family, making it a truly family-friendly spot where everyone felt comfortable. The coffee was fantastic, and the overall experience was a highlight of our trip. We highly recommend Holy Grounds to anyone visiting or living in Fernandina Beach. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

Super cool place we were able to stop in at on the way out of town headed towards I95. Atmosphere was inviting and offered ample seating throughout. We came in late brunch honestly probably closer to lunch but they still had breakfast items available to order which was fantastic. Delicious cinnamon roll and perfect coffee. Dont miss out and make sure you stop in to try it all. The kicker that really set this off for me was my wife left her person on the table we sat at only to realize she had done so once we were over 3 hours away. Called immediately and to our surprise and major relief they had the purse and let us know they tried to find her on social media to let her know right away. I was able to provide them a shipping label and they boxed it up for a safe return. The owners and staff are great !!

I am here for the Amelia Island Concours for the weekend and needed to kickstart the day with coffee. I found Holy Grounds Coffee House and as soon as I opened the door I was greeted by Sue-Ellen with a warm charming welcome and is full of personality and hospitality. I had the French Toast Latte which I have to say is hands down the best. Try it with the Sausage, egg and cheese sandwich and just sit back in this amazing environment. I will be back everyday while I’m here.

Holy Grounds Coffee House is such a great place to slow down and enjoy the moment. Sitting here with a latte is pure comfort—the coffee is excellent, smooth, and always made just right. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely makes you feel at home. The vibe is contagious in the best way relaxed, uplifting, and full of good energy. A perfect spot to sit, sip, and recharge. Highly recommend!

A great little stop for a quick afternoon pick me up. The ambience was warm and welcoming with many tables for seating to enjoy your food and drink. The walls are covered in old Florida photos as well as coffee grinders and other relics. There is no shortage of merchandise available inside for purchase. They have a large selection of different coffee concoctions to order as well as a very unique food selection which included specialty seafood soups, quiche, wings, as well as your pastries and others. Ricky, my barista, absolutely knocked it out of the park. I ordered an iced caramel macchiato with oat milk and an extra shot and she crushed it; it's perfect. I would definitely be back by again if in the area. I will say I was a little surprised that the coffee to-go cups do not have any indication on where the coffee was purchased from but everything was great

Just wanna say that every time that my husband and I come here, without fail, we are treated so well 😀. The coffee is consistently great and the staff are so nice and helpful. It’s so refreshing, compared to other coffeehouse experiences on the island. While these other experiences aren’t always bad, they are in fact inconsistent. We are often (not always) made to feel uncomfortable at other coffeehouses. This is why the CONSISTENT LOVING SERVICE at Holy Grounds is so precious and memorable.

One of my favorite places in town! The menu is delicious, the ambiance is wonderful, and the servers are always attentive, polite, and kind. I also appreciate the subtle Christian messaging. May God continue to bless you all. You’re doing a great job!

I found both great coffee and a family at Holy Grounds Coffee House. I first started coming here while my husband was deployed overseas last year. Every morning after school drop-off, I’d stop in, order my usual, and settle at my little “office” — a small side table near the front — to craft cards or make jewelry. The staff quickly learned my name, my order (caramel macchiato hot in the morning and a mocha frappe in the afternoon), and even details about my kids. They greeted me with kindness and warmth, even on my hardest days. Over time, I became one of the regulars — and it truly felt like home. Now, I still come by every day, Monday through Saturday, and often stop in for live music on Friday nights. I may be a military spouse whose loved one is far away, but thanks to Holy Grounds Coffee House, I no longer feel alone. I’ve found community, comfort, and friendship — one cup of coffee at a time.
