15 Best Coffee Shops in Gainesville

“Great atmosphere and good coffee.“

“Stumbled on this gem while Headed to Panther Creek Falls. Great Coffee and friendly staff. Definitely be stopping by again.“

“My opinion, best tasting coffee around (straight up, not all the flavored stuff). I'll go out of my way to treat myself to Boarding Pass. Cute airline themed seating areas make it a unique spot for visiting, very photogenic. And Gainesville Square is beautiful as well!“

“This cafe is absolutely PHENOMENAL! We’re visiting from Indiana for a wedding and decided to get breakfast out at Diletto! We LOVEDDDDD the omlette, steak quesadilla, pancake, croissant, and lattes (chai and coffee). I would 100% recommend this cafe to anyone looking for amazing food and an adorable atmosphere.“

“Good food at a reasonable price. The owners were very nice as well as their staff. Great service, good food, friendly staff, reasonable priced what more could you ask for?“

“Went here for lunch the other day. The atmosphere inside looked great with a wide variety of hot & cold drinks to select from as well as other food items. I ended up selecting a small cappuccino along with a grilled cheese panini. The cappuccino was delicious and gave me a boost of energy. The panini while initially looking fairly simple, surprised me when I took the first bite. The cheese inside was truly melted and smooth, but not too heavy. Just the right complement to my cappuccino. The service was also friendly and cordial as well. Overall a pretty good first impression.“

“First of all, the place is extremely clean, the weight staff is incredibly friendly and courteous, and the food is not only delicious and well proportioned but also very reasonably priced considering inflation. It’s sort of a sports bar atmosphere, but who cares when the food is so good and so reasonably priced. There are literally no decent restaurants in Gainesville in spite of the fact that it’s a rather large city and has two major college campuses so this is a welcomed addition. Finally, they have a robot that brings you your food during the week. It’s a lot of fun.“

“In Gainesville recently and decided to look for a donut shop. Danny’s came up in search. We went and bought a dozen assorted donuts. Wow! Were we impressed! The next week went back. Got half dozen apple fritters right out of the oven. To die for!! Great people and better than excellent pastry!! Go now!“

“Our experience at this Starbucks was top notch. Rosemary who took our order was personable, and service-oriented. She noticed i took the stopper out of my drink and asked if we preferred to not have one in my wife’s. Obviously, that paying attention to small details blew us away. Furthermore, my wife’s breve chai was made to perfection- and she readily admits she is more than particular about her drink. Customer-service like this has seemed to fade over the years and we wanted the staff, and community to know how exceptional they were! Thanks so much Starbucks Thompson Bridge!“

“Las arepas y los tequeños son deliciosos. El precio ne pareció muy justo. Definitivamente recomendado.“

“Love it, and the employees are very nice 😊“

“Went to this coffee house that opened on the site of the original El Sombrero restaurant. They are drive through only. I was greeted by an employee who recommended me one of their waffle sandwiches to try. I declined, wanting to try their new Red Bull infusion drinks that they've been advertising. I got the Aquamarine infusion which mixed the the Yellow Edition with blue raspberry and coconut flavors. The drink was ok being similar to what is offered at QuickTrip. Overall good customer service and a good alternative to Dunkin' and Starbucks.“

“Recently my wife and I were in Target shopping and decided to grab a couple of coffees at Starbucks. Since there were three customers waiting we were happy to see that all safety protocols including social distancing & face coverings were in effect and the kiosk was very clean. The employees were friendly and provided very good service. Both drinks were properly prepared. Overall we had a very good experience. Open daily. Plenty of parking.“

“Carlos and Family are like a family to me and my husband. Been going to them for all our loaded tea and protein shake needs for years! Over the top customer service and great people with a great product! I highly recommend!“
