“I stop here at LEAST once everyday. I cannot get coffee anywhere else it just doesn't taste the same. Pretty sure they even make the syrups from scratch too. The staff is beyond accommodating and some of the nicest and most friendly people you will meet who are eager to answer any questions or help anyway they can. It’s a whole experience and you can’t just not go check it out. You will not be disappointed“
“Super cute trendy place. Would have been all five stars by the service at the counter was a little off with the cashier's attitude. The barista was fantastic so she gets the five stars. Definitely will be back when visiting Gainesville again!!“
“We went for the first time to experience a sound bath which was amazing! We go there early to check the place out. It was so great! Caleb was so friendly, the kombucha was first rate and I’m picky and the golden milk was the best my friend ever had and has been drinking it for years. Well worth a try. Can’t wait to go back for tea ceremony and more.“
“I LOVE Wyatt’s. All their staff embodies a sense of care and hospitality that makes you feel like you’re having coffee at a friend’s house. ALSO the quality- sheeeeeesh - I could drink Wyatt’s espresso by the gallon. If you’re in Gainesville, check out Wyatt’s, just do it.Dietary restrictions: Alternative milk options!“
“Everybody loves krispy kreme!!! This location is an icon within the city of Gainesville. Nestled among towering new apartment buildings and the University of florida. Whether you're here for a college game or just passing through. This is a must stop when you're in gainesville. When hot and fresh sign comes on, people flock to get their donuts. I'm not sure how they do it, but they keep the line moving in here. The assembly line making of the donuts in the back , you can see through the windows and the people taking the orders or making the coffee up front ,work diligently to get people in and“
“If I could give this place 6 stars I would. What an amazing time my wifey and I had there for lunch. Cindy and her 2 home girls were hilarious, it was more of an experience than just a lunch. We found this place around 420pm and we were extra Hungry, the sammiches were great, potatoes were great, the drinks and dessert was great. It felt like we were invited over a friend's house and they spoiled us with some awesome eats. Looking forward to going back ?“
“Jessica is phenomenal! She is so patient and helpful. I have allergies so I need to see the packaging of each ingredient of what I order. Jessica quickly grabs whatever I need to see with no hesitation and great attitude. I never feel rushed and she is more than willing to help however she can. She is phenomenal and deserves a raise or promotion!Dietary restrictions: There are gluten-free options!“
“Ate here for the first time today and everything was amazing!! I got the smoked salmon toast and it was incredible! Great portion size and very pretty presentation. I also got the toasted marshmallow latte and it was very yummy and pretty. I will definitely be going back here!“
“The shop is cozy with a hint of quirk, books on the shelves in case you want something to read, and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The Chai Americane tea latte was spicy and creamy, exactly how chai latte should be. I only wish the menus were easily accessible online.“
“Very cute little shop! It’s tucked in the very back of this hallway and is almost hidden. I got the blue sky milk tea with bubbles. It was good and I liked the floral taste but I think oolong would have been better. They also have mochi, rice rolls ,slushies and smoothies. While here the staff were friendly and I got my drink pretty quickly, I would definitely try again!“
“My perception of Asian cuisine has completely transformed! It is simply exquisite and delectable! I have never encountered such a delightful culinary experience before. Each dish is a masterpiece, not just in taste, but also in its presentation and aesthetic appeal.“
“I moved from Virginia to Jacksonville and in dying here. We only have 1 vegan bakery!! So going to Karma Cream where they have dessert for dayzzz and some food too made my heart happy. I can't wait to return ? Thank you GainesvilleVegetarian options: Everything on the menu is vegetarian friendly they serve real honey as a syrup option for their coffee so beware that the honey is real and therefore not vegan.“
“The coffee and food are delicious! However, the parking lot is really tight (pickup trucks had trouble getting in and out of spaces and the lot, so some parked in the grass). Also, where the parking lot connects to the side street (off of 13th Street) is so filled with potholes, I nearly had to do a 3 point turn to avoid them. Until that gets fixed, I don't anticipate going back.Parking: The parking lot is really tight (pickup trucks had trouble getting in and out of spaces and the lot, so some parked in the grass).

“Beautiful ambience and delicious coffee.Plenty of spaces (inside and outside) spread across two floors for enjoying coffee while working, chatting or just admiring the architecture if building or glaring the streets/trees outside. Definitely one of the best coffeee places around.“
“I was *hellaaaa* intimidated before I visited this place, since I've never had boba before and there looked like there was a ton of options for the liquid and boba pieces online. First of all, this place is so stinking cute. The outside is beautifully decorated and is super inviting. The outdoor/indoor seating is closed due to COVID, or else I would have loved to sip my drink on their cute little patio. You order via a kiosk, which I didn't like because it did not have all of the options that are actually available and we needed time to browse everything on the menu so we held up the line behind us... I ended up picking the strawberry dream snow with strawberry popping boba in the regular size. I wish I would've gotten the XL size because it was that good. My fiancé got the strawberry rose milk tea with regular boba. His milk tea tasted like floral bath water (sorry to milk tea lovers...) but the boba itself was good and not super flavorful, but very chewy. He's going to go with a slush next time. I wish we could have ordered at the counter so we could ask staff what they recommend for first time customers. They do have a top 10 menu on the kiosk, but none looked like safe, beginner-friendly drinks. We also got two mochi ice creams to try. I'm glad I checked their actual case because they had a birthday cake flavor that was not available via the kiosk. The staff was really nice and let me switch my original flavor out. The vanilla chip mochi was also bomb. 10/10, we would get these again. We purchased two of their reusable XL cups as well since it came with a metal straw all for $10 and we didn't want to use the paper boba straws. We had a blast and cannot wait to come back to try more flavors!! They also sell super cute shirts, masks, plant pots, and other things in-store as well!!“
“This is my FAVORITE coffee place in Gainesville. Every time I go I get the MochaNut (mocha and coconut) latte. It is so delicious! Their pimento BLT is also to die for and surprisingly affordable. This is a great place to study or work as there are a variety of seating options including high and low tables, couches, and outside seating. I appreciate that it normally is not very busy so it isn’t too loud. I just wish they were open on Saturdays too!“
“This is one of 5 boba places on the street so I'll just do a run down of all 5 to help you choose.1. Frosty Fox - Best drinks but limited menu and space inside the shop.2. Tiger Sugar- Not bad but not worth going out of your way for.3. Tea Bestea- Best for food, drinks are just ok.4. Kung Fu Tea- Most variety but also big corporate chain5. Teastori- Also great variety (but some drinks aren't good) most are though!As for this place the gelato black tea is the best. Kung Fu and teastori are a bit better but this place is a good compliment to the restaurants in it's plaza.Parking: Good amount of parking around the buildings.“
“The kratom and kava are both really good, here. I ususally get the Mudslide and my partner gets the horchata. They both taste great, although the horchata has a LOT of ice in it, so it's only good for a few sips or so. Still, the place is pretty cool. It's small inside, but there's lots of comfy seating. I typically go at night, later in the evening so it's not too packed. Shoutout to Ava! They're pretty cool and they were always nice to us. Ava went above and beyond to make our first time there, awesome. We were informed of the menu and all of our questions were answered in an honest way, not just a 'upsell and serve' way. The only reason I give it four stars is because sometimes my partner and I go in and there is a server there that doesn't really have a great attitude. She didn't pay much attention to us any of the times we've been there. She also seemed to be annoyed by us when we ordered and other than taking our order, she didn't turn to us. We waited awhile to pay, multiple times, while she was chatting and such. We're outgoing people, we like to meet others. The times when she's there are just not as pleasant. Overall though, we will be back. Drinks are good and the vibe is chill.“
“We were on a road trip and stopped to get some coffee, but we’re pleasantly surprised to find those airstream coffee shop was not only excellent, but it had plenty of shade and picnic tables as well as multiple restaurants to choose from! We had the pizza which was very filling. 10/10 great chill spot!Parking: Plenty of parking spaces in the parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Lots of picnic tables and mulch, and there’s even a jungle gym.“
“My home away from home, my third place. The drinks are delicious, the reward system is solid, but what really makes this place special is everyone who works here. Kind, compassionate people who know what community means. I love you Kavagator.“
“Let me preface this by saying I have a pastry degree and I am incredibly picky. The cupcake I got there was by far the best cupcake I have had from any bakery. I've always said the test of a good cake is that it can be enjoyed without icing, and wow was this so moist and delicious!“
“Le Macaron French Pastries in Gainesville is a delightful gem for anyone with a sweet tooth or a love for authentic French treats. From the moment I stepped in, the aroma of freshly baked pastries filled the air, instantly tempting my taste buds. I indulged in a variety of macarons, each bursting with vibrant flavors and perfectly crafted with a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The latte was a perfect companion, providing a rich and smooth complement to the sweet treats.What truly sets Le Macaron apart is their exceptional customer service. The staff was not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable about their offerings. They patiently guided me through their menu, offering recommendations and ensuring that my experience was nothing short of fantastic. The chocolate croissant was a standout, with its buttery layers and rich chocolate filling—a true delight for any pastry lover.Overall, Le Macaron French Pastries exceeded all expectations. Whether you're looking for a quick treat or a leisurely indulgence, this charming patisserie is a must-visit in Gainesville. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delectable creations.“
“This is the cutest little coffee shop! Never heard of them so gave it a try. Love them! Cold, hot, blended. Iced. They have it all and with great service!! Highly recommend if you are in the area! It is drive through only; they are fast and friendly all on one!! A++++“
“Homey, unpretentious, and wholesome. Inspired to do art and write while there. Loads of options for vegetarians and some for vegan and gluten free! Coffee was great too.Dietary restrictions: Covers all bases.Parking: Easy to park and on streetKid-friendliness: Warm and welcoming to kids with energy.“
“I recently discovered Strongtree Beans at a local coffee shop and decided to give them a try. I'm thrilled with my experience – they offer a fantastic selection and provide outstanding customer service. Intrigued by their variety, I decided to call and seek guidance on what to try. The conversation was fantastic, and I promptly placed an order.To my surprise, the order was shipped within 24 hours and arrived within 2 or 3 days. What added a personal touch was a handwritten thank-you note on the invoice. Strongtree Coffee, keep doing what your doing! Thank you for the exceptional service and AMAZING coffee!!“
“NICEST employees!! I can’t remember her name but the girl with kung fu panda character on her name tag is always SO sweet, as is the man with a beard who always wears a beanie!! I come back even without a drive through for the amazing service :)!“
“My favorite Dunkin in Gainesville. My food and drink is always ready quickly, I really like all the people working there, and they've never gotten my order wrong. I usually go there once or twice a week and I've been very happy with my experience.“
“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“
“Great service at this location, I'm super happy with the staff and their disposition. They got my order right and even created something not too crazy for my five year old that he REALLY enjoyed (that didn't leave him bouncing off the walls from the sugar).I do wish the wifi was available at the seating area away from the road or they could do something to reduce the traffic noise on the super nice patio. The major road renders this very very nice seating area basically useless.Kid-friendliness: “
“I have health issues and have had to spend a lot of time at the hospital lately. Lucky for me they have great coffee to keep me going here. They also have fruit for breakfast.Kid-friendliness: They are great with kids also.Parking: Valet costs you. Regular parking is free however parking here is really hard to get at times. It is in the hospital so they are really busy most of the time.Wheelchair accessibility: They have plenty of wheel chair assistance and access.“
“Hidden gem alert: Donut Connection in Gainesville is the real deal. Their blueberry, honeydew, and apple fritter donuts are downright amazing. The staff is friendly and actually helps you pick flavors. Met Derek, the owner, who's genuinely nice. Underrated spot worth checking out—will be back for sure!“
“i worked here for a little more than a year and a half and (forgive me for the bias) this is the best starbucks i’ve ever been to. even when it was stressful i have gained so much from working here. my coworkers and customers meant more to me than a million 5 star google reviews could express. i love you all. thank you so much.p.s. the drivethru is a little narrow“
“OH MY GOSH. This place is so good! Their Bahn Mi is so good and a side drink of boba really does the trick. If I could, I would literally go there everyday. Perfect place for you to hang out with friends, have dates, or just have a meal. They have board games to play while you wait for your food as well. Decently priced. 3 people were in my group. We each got a meal and a drink and spent in total around $40.“
“This coffee shop is located inside the Springhill clinic. Whenever I go to take my daughter to her medical appointment I buy a coffee there, and also a croissant. I order a delicious almond milk latte and a tasty, crunchy chocolate croissant.“
“Ordered 3 different drinks and each one of them was made perfectly. My Venti Mocha Toffee nut Latte was absolutely delicious. My mom loved her hot chocolate with toffee nut, and my teenage daughter loved her vanilla bean Frappucino with strawberry puree. Every time we've gone to that particular Starbucks has been a good experience.“
“Hands down the best coffee! Love supporting local especially when it is this good! Finally switching up some of our flavors but not the Gator Glory, it is our favorite so far :) Thanks Sweetwater Organic Coffee Co for putting out an amazing product with local pride - Sincerely an ACR :)“
“Probably my favorite place to meet my daughter for coffee when I'm "driving by" Gainesville when she's at college as it's kind of close to the school and kind of close to I-75. I always enjoy my coffee drinks with oat milk, and the food looks fresh to order or at least toasted nicely. The only reason I know that is from peeping what others got, haha, we didn't get food. Outside seating and cute little park likes area across the parking lot is perfect for my pup to chill while we visit and sip. Fox theme is adorable.Dietary restrictions: Dairy free milk options“
“I was absolutely blown away by the crepes here! I find crepes hard to find in the Gainesville area so I was excited. This place lived up to the hype. The strawberries were fresh, the chocolate was stellar, and it was overall such a wonderful experience. I hope others are able to experience what I did. I look forward to returning.“

“The owners are so sweet and helpful and the food was amazing!! They cook everything fresh! The restaurant is also so clean and easy to order with a tablet. The owner even gave me a free dessert, you can tell they really care about their customers. Highly recommend “
“My boyfriend and I found this place through doordashing for a customer one day. We decided to go that same day and can easily confirm that it’s the best coffee place I’ve ever been to. I got an iced mocha twist! I’m not normally a coffee lover but it was a 10/10. Very fast service, great breakfast sandwiches and drinks as well. Would recommend!“
“This place is amazing. My favorite is a caramel Frappuccino with an extra shot and added drizzle. I wish they had an ingredients list because my wife wants one but has allergies. According to the batista they don't carry an ingredients list.“
“Up and back to Gainesville and all I got was coffee...at least it was good coffee! Took a quick trip up to see my son and he was at Opus when I got to town. So close to campus. This location offers plenty of comfortable seating and lots of work space to study. The coffee is fresh and there are lots of options. My son had a macha tea and it was good too. Staff was friendly. Just a nice little place to meet and if I was a student, a great place to study!“
“The owners are so so sweet! I have tried many of their protein shakes and they never disappoint!! Gainzville Hub is such a nice study spot for midterms when libraries are crowded or just to meet your friends for brunch. 1000/10 LOVE and recommend!!“
