“favourite place to go in town! i absolutely love studying at black dog or reading. it’s a great place to unwind. i love being able to take in the scenery outside. the staff are always incredibly kind and welcoming. couldn’t recommend this place more :)“

“The food was amazing, and our server, Valentino, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was perfect, and every dish exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back!“

“This is a lovely place to spend an hour. Delicious coffees, teas, wine, or local beers, while petting kitties: what more could you ask for? I love that they cap the human capacity at ten patrons in the cat room per hour. It doesn’t overwhelm the cats or the humans. The place feels upscale, clean, and is one of my favorite places in town. 10/10 recommend!“

“This place is great. Something for everyone.“

“Such a great coffee shop. The coffee is probably the best I’ve had in Tallahassee. Lots of fun flavors to choose from all times of year. Employees are always very kind and helpful“

“Stopped by tonight Cool atmosphere Awesome coffee will be back Thanks 😁“

“I had an event last night at La Florida Coffee and Wine. I would highly recommend having your events here. They catered the entire event. The food was not only phenomenally delicious it was placed so beautifully for serving. Jean and her staff were awesome and I want to thank them for their professionalism, hospitality and so graciously taking care of all our needs.“

“Every location of Lucky Goat Coffee is great, but definitely the one on Adams Street is my favorite.🥰 The atmosphere is always cozy, and the service is super friendly. My go-to order is the Brown Sugar Caramel Latte ( it’s smooth, sweet, and absolutely delicious). Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a perfect coffee treat!“

“Friendly staff and great coffee! The house frappe is the best“

“First time visitor & I asked for suggestions on teas. The barrister was not only very friendly, but she was very knowledgeable in her products. She came up with 3 nice suggestions for me in no time at all! The store was clean & stocked well. The ladies room was clean & had no bad smell to it at all. And none of the floors were sticky. Which was definitely great to me!!! I'll definitely be going back & recommending it to not only my friends, but anyone who will listen!!!!😂 😂 😂 😂“

“Best coffee in Tallahassee“

“MY FAVORITE CHAI LATTE EVER (I would totally buy their chai concentrate if I could)
They have a super fun seasonal menu with drinks that are totally worth ordering! Super cute cafe and a great rotation of drinks. I will always be stopping by whenever I am in Tallahassee!“

“My favorite coffee shop! I have never had a bad drink or snack here— all the offering are so creative, I’ve wound up trying things I never thought I would like (fruity coffee drinks are totally a thing, who knew?!). The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and all the baristas are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a great place to stop in or sit down for a few hours!“

“I love this Ellianos, the employees are very sweet. However, I just went this morning and the new mobile order line is wildly confusing. There is only one sign and it is once you are in the line. It backs up even more traffic on to the parking lot road and why you'd make the side with the shortest line space the main line... I have no idea. I recommend coming up with a different solution for mobile orders.“

“Everything I’ve tried from here has been delicious, both food and drinks. The shop is decorated beautifully. The service is always prompt and friendly. They also have pup cups which is a plus!“

“I go to this location like every day because it’s close to my university. I love it here, and my food is always a 10/10. The employees are super nice as well. I’d definitely recommend coming here. It’s close to FSU and FAMU so it’s super convenient.“

“The best customer service. Always friendly!!“

“Good coffee. Big windows. Semi-rustic decor with some industrial elements like exposed ducts, polished concrete floor. Visited on a Friday, got a decaf drip...tasty....nicely allowed a refill for free (like at Starbucks). However, came back the next day. Ordered a ham-egg croissant and a drip decaf. Was given an Americano decaf (like the day before, since they don't make decaf drip) and charged for it, not for drip as the day before. No apologies. Plus their payment processor added an automatic 2 dollar tip which should not be set to tip at 20 percent by default. The ham-egg-cheese croissant was flattened and not very good. Plus if you want half and half you have to ask a barista, like its a big deal. All in all my opinion dropped. It's a Starbucks knockoff chain local to Florida with ice cream (at the one I went to) but not always as good or generous as Starbucks. This felt slightly less generic than most Starbucks due to the fancier rustic/industrial decor, but it's also small inside so tends to feel cramped.“

“We have been coming here since my 21-one year old daughter was a baby. It was great then and it’s great now. They have the BEST breakfast and we are always welcomed so warmly and treated like family. They even catered my daughter’s 18th birthday. Ms. Wendy is always baking the most amazing treats and you can tell she loves what she does.“

“We always look for the local coffee shops when we are traveling. Lucky Goat came up and we were not disappointed . 5 star quality. 💕“

“I have ordered from Red Owl for all 4 locations with the company I work for. Our staff of 80+ people really, really enjoy the breakfast sandwiches from Red Owl. We have a lot of staff that only eats chicken and they RAVE about the chicken, egg and cheese on a bagel. I'm not a coffee drinker; however, our staff really love their coffee too. The sandwiches are hot upon delivery and wrapped neatly and clearly labeled for easy picking for their preference in meat that is on the sandwich.“

“A charming place in a great spot! Kameleon adds a lot to railroad square, and it’s a super fun place to hang out and grab some kava and Kratom drinks. It’s under the same management as Kavakaze, so of course the service is top-tier.“

“Ology Coffee Co. is amazing! Went for a Realtor meet up in the morning recently and it was great. The staff are friendly, know the menu very well, and had great recommendations. Perfect spot to work or meet with friends. Will definitely be coming back!“

“very friendly there. gave me a discount. actually having effects from Kratom, when I tried it before somewhere else I felt nothing.“

“Great food, great service and great place for a get together 💛“

“I saw the manager buying their signature muffins at Sam's. They re wrap the muffins and charge the public an extreme amount for gourmet fresh muffins. This place is a scam.“

“Great place to have a coffee and enjoy the view of Cascades Park.“

“this place is absolutely fantastic! This is the first time I’ve ever ordered their coffee and we did an order via DoorDash to our Office in Havana. The Customerservice is excellent with this company, the coffee and the food are well worth the price. I have no complaints. Everything was amazing. You guys are great. Thank you so much.“

“Always a great experience. Friendly, courteous staff super clean place!“

“This restaurant has a very welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a date with your girlfriend or wife, or a business meeting due to its tranquility. The service is fantastic and the table service is unparalleled. The food is exquisite; we tried two dishes and both lived up to expectations.“

“It’s pretty roomy for a Starbucks. Most are tiny, but considering this location used to be a Chick-fil-A, it’s rather spacious. There’s ample outdoor seating under the covered patio, plus the standard outdoor tables with umbrellas. I gave the food 4 stars because sometimes they don’t have the sandwich I like (either sold out or perhaps not carrying it). When the sandwich is in stock, it’s toasted to perfection. The blueberry streusel muffin is always clutch although a bit pricier and smaller than it used to be. I’ve been a rewards member since 2010 and have watched some of my favorite sandwiches, bakery items, and snacks come and go.“

“Yummy chocolate almond milk coffee and vanilla bean scones. Helped my drive to Texas“

“The staff at this location is so friendly and kind. I pass 2 other Dunkins on my way to work but this is the location I always choose because they are so nice. They also have the best quality of all the locations I've been to. The staff all deserve a raise!!“

“One of my favorites. A true neighborhood bar. Friendly staff and try the buffalo chicken sandwich.“

“What a delightful little gem in Books-a-Million! I really did like this place alot and do plan on returning. The barista was very friendly and attentive, still smiling even not long before closing. The hot chocolate he made me was so smooth and delicious. I ordered a spinach and feta pretzel which I had never had before and it was excellent! Very unique pastry! I also loved how relaxing this coffee place is. Everyone should try this section when roaming through Books-a-Million. You won't be disappointed. Perfect little area to read a book or hang out with a friend!“

“I don't usually go to Starbucks due to unpersonable staff (and expensive prices but that's not important here) but this location absolutely changed my mind! I came in 6/19/26 around 7:45am and the staff was SO NICE!! I was greeted when i came in by everyone and I was rang up with such pleasure. They even left me a sweet little note on my cup!! I absolutely adore this staff and hope to be apart of a team like this some day ♡ Absolutely phenomenal!!!“

“First I just gotta say, this place is inside whole foods. Maybe if you live here you already knew that. So to the service. I'm horrible at ordering fancy drinks. The super friendly barista took the scattered description of what I wanted and made me a delicious pumpkin latte over ice. DELICIOUS. That's the kinda hospitality that will make me visit this stand ever time I'm in Tallahassee. Thanks again.

Right inside the entrance to the right.“

“The workers and coffee are awesome just surprised that you can’t tip the staff every Starbucks I’ve been to they have a tip jar and for them to be understaffed the way they are at this location is very surprising the franchise owner needs a reality check if they want to keep good employees those guys/girls really work their A**es off. Goes to show you another nuisances that doesent care about their employees“

“Great Monday specials! And the Black and Blue Ceasar salad is so good.“

“Been going for years, it's always a fantastic pick me up. Divine food and sweet staff.“

“Tallahassee runs on Dunkin apparently.. even the coffee somehow tastes like donuts and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. However, I tried their Dunkin' midnight dark roast and I totally dig it, good bold rich flavor.“

“MJ is geniunely one of the sweetest people I think I have ever met in my entire life. Extremely kind service by her, she came around the counter and placed our drinks at our table like it was a sit down place and the drinks she made were amazing.

Thank you Starbucks ! 🎀💘“

“I added an order of coffees and a couple of cake pops to my Target drive up order today as a special treat for myself and my family who has been knocked down all week by some terrible cold virus. My two toddler girls were so excited to get their cake pops but I realized when we parked for our pick up that one flavor of cake pop had been canceled, I assume because they must have run out. As a sick and exhausted mama I was bummed but quickly decided I would drive to Elianos for a replacement cake pop to avoid having to unload the sick kids and go into Target to choose a different flavor. I checked my Starbucks bag when we were almost at Elianos and was so pleasantly surprised to see a note attached to the cake pop bag saying they were sorry they were out of the birthday cake flavor but they had added a second cookies n creme cake pop free of charge! Starbucks really made my day today with 10/10 customer service. Thank you!!! Oh and the coffees were excellent, as always!“

“They always have such a creative drink menu based on the seasons, holidays, or other events in town. The best drink I’ve ever had from Starbucks was here and created by one of the baristas!! (I think it was called “the frat boy”) Also went today and they wrote “xoxo go sip girl” on my bf’s cup and it was so funny and cute. Definitely recommend. <3“

“I’ve seen this new coffee shop at the mall a couple times. Today while indulging in some retail therapy, I decided to finally try it out! I went for the new snickerdoodle latte, and was so excited by the perfect presentation, and even more excited when it tasted every bit as wonderful as it looked!“

“I went to this location one evening recently while traveling for work and it was a wonderful experience. The baristas I encountered were really friendly. I had a short conversation with a barista named Pot and she was very pleasant, she really took interest in making me feel welcomed and made my drink perfectly. I will definitely be stop by whenever Im in the area again and for sure would recommend this location to others!“

“This is probably one of the best dunkin's I ever been to although I only come in in the mornings. The staff is always extremely nice, greeting you on the way in and on the way out. Service is fast and they actually get it right. They are friendly, positive and consistent.“
