“We stopped here briefly while on a road trip for a pick me up. We were just under the wire for closing time, but the barista kindly made our drinks and let us use the restroom past closing. Clean, airy atmosphere. Excellent latte and matcha latte!“
“I actually love Ellianos and I’m pleasantly surprised that we have one in Alachua. Overall it’s a tad pricey but the service at this location has been fantastic every single time I’ve been here. Staff is always friendly and helpful and I know that whatever I’ve ordered will come out tasting delicious. This is one of my favorite places to come and get a coffee flavored treat!Vegetarian options: In my experience all of their breakfast sandwiches can be ordered sans meat upon request, which is what I always do and they’re deliciousDietary restrictions: They offer dairy-free options for coffee and lattes!“
“Lovely Queen Anne style classic teahouse. I’ve been here twice and the tea and the setting is great. Absolutely love all the unique place settings and different types of classic teacups and china that gets showcased. Highly recommend the Hummingbird cake and the chicken salad is quite good. I had a side salad with fresh greens and raspberry vinaigrette, which was very tasty. Ask for the dressing on the side, there was a pool of it on my plate that spilled over onto my sandwich. I really want to give this place a higher rating, but there’s a few fundamental things lacking for a really great teahouse. One is that the scones are not very good at all. I was hoping to find a more classic English scone selection, but these were flat and had a baking soda flavor. The other issue is, like many places, they seem to be having some staffing issues and so the service isn’t spectacular, but it wasn’t terrible. However, the owner seems to be taking this out on his staff and complaining about his staff to the customers which is unprofessional in my opinion. We were there twice in the span of three weeks, and this happened both times. It’s clear that the person who waited on us is quite new and has very little experience waiting on people, but complaining to your customers that your wait staff doesn’t know what they’re doing just makes the whole experience very uncomfortable.“
“It’s McDonald’s so the quality of the food is relative to the fast food experience. But the service was very friendly, greeted with a warm smile and a wish for a good day. That’s a rarity it seems these days. The food was prompt, hot and as ordered. Sad to say that this is the definition of high praise nowadays, but there it is! Way to go Alachua McDonalds!!“
“This place is a gem! Wonderful owners, awesome atmosphere, excellent home-baked treats, and fantastic coffee! The Cafe Con Leche was the best I've ever had- well-balanced, not too sweet, perfect!! Definitely stop in and check this place out!“
