  Note: Ink Factory, is a brewery and a coffee bar, in one location, but Yelp and Google list them separately. Even with different hours, the location is open all day but they stop serving coffee around 3:00ish I think. I finally made it to Ink Factory Brewing, a ten minute walk from Jax Beach. I’ve been eyeing this place for a while.  I usually spend a good amount of time in coffee shops working on my laptop, and I’ll admit I almost skipped this place based on the google photos, because it looked like it might have limited seating and no power outlets. While I wouldn’t call this a go-to “work from a coffee shop all day” sort of spot. After asking around I found out this place has two floors the top floor has a space for daily office rentals. I am here on a Saturday and had no problem finding a place to work from on the first floor.  I asked Katie who was walking by and was super helpful about why it is called Ink Factory Brewing. This place used to be where Void Magazine was written and published hence “Ink Factory”. I was pleasantly surprised. The space is large enough that I found a quiet corner and even managed to snag a power outlet. The staff didn’t seem bothered at all by me settling in with my laptop. That said, Ink Factory feels more like a place to hang out try the coffee, grab some food, maybe have a beer rather than a dedicated work spot. The space immediately gives off a relaxed beach vibe white walls, local artwork, surfboards, and beach apparel everywhere. It feels equal parts coffee shop, hangout spot, and beach town brewery. My coffee was spot on. Emily was awesome and helped me build a custom drink: an iced coffee with a shot of espresso, mocha syrup, topped with cold foam. Not only did it taste great, but she made it look so good that people sitting at the bar asked what I ordered. This kind of care and presentation really stood out. If they’re really busy, finding an outlet could be tough. Parking is also a bit limited for such a large space, but that’s pretty typical for the beach area. Not the place I’d camp out every weekday, but definitely somewhere I’d come back to.
