We are still talking about our visit to Chamblins. We started our trip with coffee from the Cafe, and then were directed to where we could find Travis McGee and Detretive Morse books. My husband came very close to completing both collections. Mind you, this wasn't even the big Chamblins! Staff was warm and friendly, helpful and happy. We drove …

This is the place to buy and sell used books in downtown Jacksonville. Get your choice of drink at the cafe and get lost in books. Smell and feel old books while enjoying your drink.

Chamblin's Uptown is comparatively much smaller than the main store, but is still larger than most indie bookstores. They have a great little cafe, a fantastic selection of used books, LPs, CDs, …

Thankfully this coffee shop is right next to my office! I really enjoy their seasonal drinks and how often they add new crafted drinks (the Vietnamese coldbrew is AMAZING). But even their standard iced coffees and lattes are also my favorite in town! The baristas are always so friendly and make great drinks- especially Morella!!! It is definitely the best …

Such a cute and cozy bookstore and coffee shop! Ate here while visiting for lunch and the staff was so kind and the service was very fast for how busy they were. I got the jerk wrap and a rose Italian soda. Delicious!
