7 Best Cafes near Alachua

“Michael and his team are fantastic. The food is fresh and many recipes are from his family! They have a large coffee selection too. We stop in often for breakfast and lunch!“

“If you’re a coffee lover looking for quality and atmosphere, Doxa Coffee Co. is well worth a visit. This specialty coffee shop is committed to great taste and service!

Recently was able to try this place working remotely for a couple hours. Really enjoyed the coffee atmosphere.

From the moment you walk in, the modern industrial vibe and welcoming staff make you feel right at home. Very home like with families, students, remote workers all working away.

Didn’t try their avocado toast, paninis or other food, but the basic vanilla latte was fantastic.

Doxa is a perfect stop for coffee lovers in the Alachua/Gainesville area—and a must-try if you’re exploring local cafés with personality.“

“I had an Amazing London Fog tea with honey this morning!! The only problem was that between the lavender buds on top and the flavorful Earl Grey tea, I couldn't tell if I was supposed to be relaxed or energized. 😁🤣“

“Best old fashion, fresh cooked burger in the area!“

“Why Dolce Vita doesn't have a 5 rating, 100% is beyond me! Forget about everything else, which is fantastic! If you like sweet things, like cookies, then you will absolutely lose your mind if you try their Christmas cookies! 😍😎“

“Really.good customer service. The food is what it is and it's definitely just a chain but the customer service is great. Shout out to Jereil for reading me the coffee options in the morning because the sun was glaring off the menue in the drive through and I couldnt see shit.“

“In January 2026 we had a baby shower for my daughter at the cafe. Sarah and the staff were great!! We had a big party, and they did everything they could to make it special. The food, atmosphere, music and price were great. I couldn't ask for anything more. If you ever have a special event this is the place to have it.“
