The Milk Road was started in 2016 with a mission to create space for community connection in Jacksonville. As a veteran owned business, we are proud to serve our neighbors whether they be military transplants, Jacksonville natives, or just people passing through. We have created a space to be loved by locals and transplants a sense of place and belonging.
A play on The Silk Road, our logo of the three hares has its origins as old as the Road itself. The three hares symbolized that it was safe to trade and travel. But the symbol transcended even that. It can be found scattered across the world; from caves in ancient China to the ornate floors of stained glass in Europe. The three hares transcends culture and language, connecting people across miles. We believe coffee has that power too. We hope that as our community comes and goes the symbol of the three hares will continue to transcend - signifying safety, trade, and togetherness for centuries more.
We believe that coffee fosters connection. So whether we are out supporting local events on our coffee truck, giving you space for quality conversations in our back garden, providing inspirational working space, or just a quick smile from your barista as you rush out with fuel for your day, coffee brings us together. And that's why we put so much into your cup. Our beans are organic and ethically sourced, roasted to perfection right here in our shop. Many of our ingredients are locally sourced, supporting NC agriculture and local jobs. Our syrups and sweets are thoughtfully made in house, giving you a choice of seasonally inspired flavors and delicious favorites.
Keep an eye out in our shop for products from local artists and makers and an eye on our Instagram for partnerships and hosting of community events.
We love coffee and we're proud to serve you.
