11 Best Cafes in Gainesville

“Awesome associates at this club!“

“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. 😁🤣“

“Normally the girls at opus spring hill are great but this morning was less than ideal I get the same thing every morning but this morning it was a awful experience. My cup was over filled dripping down my cup and tasted nothing like it normally does I was super disappointed“

“One of Gainesville's best kept secrets. This cafe is tucked away in the Honda of Gainesville. I happened upon them 4 years ago when first moved to the area and got my car serviced. Their food is amazing and staff is polite!! Each time I have to get my car done I wait just so I can get their cuban sandwhich. Next time you're in the area, this is a must.“

“Best croissant I think I have ever had. I may be addicted after just the first visit!!“

“Visiting Gainesville from out of town. Family recommended KeKe's. It did not disappoint. Host was very warm and friendly and server , Ariel, was exceptional.
I had the combo. 2 eggs, (excellent as I am a scrambled egg snob) crispy bacon, and waffle. I also appreciate that the calories are listed on the menu!“

“Ordered the eggs Benedict and it was amazing. The service was great as well. The only downside was the wait time. Initially quoted 30 minutes, but once that passed, they kept adding another 10 minutes until it had been an hour and we were still waiting to be seated. Overall, it’s a great spot and would recommend but be ready to wait!“

“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! 😍😎“

“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.“

“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.“

“Didn’t like the flatbread pizza! But the strawberry salad is amazing like usual! They need to make this available all year long, and stop making it a seasonal item!“
