Becovic Management Group, owner of the Barnett Building at 112 W Adams St in Jacksonville, is planning a new cafe that will, in the words of the Jacksonville Business Journal, “pay homage to [the] Barnett building’s past.”
Offering “A Cup of History in Every Pour,” 1926 Coffee Co. is expected to open before the end of the year.
“Nestled in the ground floor of Jacksonville’s landmark Barnett Building — a towering Art Deco masterpiece completed in 1926 — our coffee shop pays homage to the bold spirit of the era that built it,” says the 1926 Coffee Co. website. “Every detail, from our dark-wood countertops and marble bar to the black-and-white hex tile floors, is a love letter to the craftsmanship of the Roaring Twenties. We believe great coffee, like great architecture, is built on foundations that stand the test of time.”
A menu has already been posted on the cafe’s website, featuring drinks like the Barnett Blend (Our house signature — a velvety double shot with brown sugar, oat milk, and a hint of vanilla bean. Smooth as marble), the Prohibition Brew (Single-origin cold-steeped coffee with smoky maple and a whiskey-barrel vanilla finish. The drink they didn’t want you to have), and the Skyscraper (Triple-shot red eye — drip coffee topped with three shots of espresso. Tall, bold, and impossible to ignore. Just like the building).
What Now was unable to reach a representative of the Becovic Management Group immediately on Wednesday for comment on 1926 Coffee Co.
