Lucky Goat Coffee Co. wants to build-out in Bartram Village, which would be its second shop in Jacksonville.
The city is reviewing a permit application for Lucky Goat to build-out a 34-seat coffee shop in 1,409 square feet at 12553 Bartram Park Blvd., Unit 302, at an estimated project cost of $226,477.
Rettner Building Management Corp. of Jacksonville is the landlord. Cornerstone Consulting Engineers & Design Services Inc. of Allentown, Pennsylvania, is listed as the professional designer. LAY Construction of Jacksonville is named as the contractor.
Sweeney Price LLC of St. Augustine is the tenant and franchisee. It applied to the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation for a restaurant license at the Bartram Village address.
Bartram Village is at southeast Bartram Park Boulevard and Old St. Augustine Road, west of Interstate 95, in South Jacksonville.
Lucky Goat already operates at 10618 Deerwood Park Blvd., No. 1, in the former Mini Bar Donuts + Coffee space near St. Johns Town Center. That site is at southwest Deerwood Park Boulevard and Gate Parkway, south of Butler Boulevard.
That shop is open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Lucky Goat had a shop in the Kernan Square shopping center at southeast Beach and Kernan boulevards where Jacksonville Coffee Co. operates. Lucky Goat built-out that space in 2020, as the pandemic began. The sign switched to Jacksonville Coffee Co. in 2023.
The menu at luckygoatcoffee.com shows brewed and cold brew coffee, espresso, tea, a latte, lemonade, matcha choices and a kid’s drink. Extras include cold foam, flavored syrups, nondairy milk and more.
It also offers pastries, quiche, kolaches, fritattas and more, as well as bagged coffee and gallon-size cold brew.
Luckygoatcoffee.com says the company began roasting coffee in 2010, with a focus on providing top-quality wholesale coffee beans for local cafés.
“As more people started to seek out our coffee to brew at home, it became clear that the brand was ready to grow,” the Tallahassee-based company’s webiste says.
“Today, with locations across the Southeast, Lucky Goat continues to share great coffee with more communities, while staying true to the craft that started it all.”
The company wholesales and began franchising in 2023.
The site shows 14 Florida shops, including one coming soon in The Villages, as well as two in Georgia and Texas.
The website says the name comes from a story it shares. It says legend has it that a herdsman named Kaldi noticed his goats had an extra spring in their step after eating the wild berries that grew near their feeding grounds.
“Curious, Kaldi tried the berries himself and experienced the same euphoria. The seeds of those berries are the coffee ‘bean’ — which is why we can thank those lucky goats for the delicious drink we have today,” the site says.
