At 1671 Atlantic Boulevard, Southern Grounds and Co San Marco is an all-day coffee shop and restaurant with a train-side patio beside the FEC railroad tracks, two blocks from San Marco Square. Freight trains pass along the patio edge through the day, and the room runs from morning Intelligentsia coffee and brunch into dinner, beer, and wine until 9 PM.

Sit outside for the gravel patio and string lights if you want the railroad view, or work inside at community tables with outlets and free Wi-Fi. Scratch-made bowls, Blueberry Bakery pastries, and a Mediterranean-inspired kitchen set the menu, and a small lot sits next to the building with overflow parking across the tracks.

People come specifically to watch long freights roll past a coffee stop, then walk two blocks into the Square or toward Hendricks Avenue when the cup is done.
