Did you know Jacksonville, Florida, is home to the last remaining Maxwell House plant in the country? Or how about the fact the city is home to a thriving coffee and donuts scene? The all-new Jax Coffee & Donuts Trail highlights the many local coffee and donut shops in Jacksonville, showcasing more than 30 across the city.

Stops on the trail include Bold Bean Coffee Roasters (in my opinion, some of the best coffee in the world), Cinotti’s Bakery & Sandwich Shop, The Donut Shoppe, Good Dough, Flamingo Coffee Bar, The Mini Bar, Old Soul Donut Company, Sago Coffee, and more.

 

To hop on the trail, download the Visit Jax app and select the Coffee & Donuts Trail icon. Check in at each location to be eligible for free coffee- and donut-themed prizes. The trail passport is free and available only on the Visit Jacksonville app.

“We regularly see new coffee and donut shops opening in Jacksonville and felt it was time to create something to help people discover those,” said Katie Mitura, CMO, Visit Jacksonville. “We are hoping the popularity of the Jax Ale Trail will flow over to the Jax Coffee & Donuts Trail as locals and visitors take part and enjoy a great cup of coffee with a fresh baked donut and fuel their day at one of our many local coffee shops.”

United flyers are sure to notice these enhancements from the moment they step on board: Each new or updated plane sports remodeled seats, seatback entertainment screens for everyone, Bluetooth connectivity and more, all adding up to a better experience on every journey.
