7 Best Coffee Shops near Gainesville

“I ordered two Cortados (forgot to take pics), both were very good. I got one with whole milk and one with almond milk( I always wanted to try, but after tasting I don’t recommend). I definitely suggest staying with the whole milk. Very cool atmosphere and the owners were extremely nice and friendly. They wanted to listen to their customers and see if there was any drinks they could consider adding to the menu. I told them plain sparkling water to have with the cortado and they liked the idea and were going to look into getting some. Not many coffee shops where the owners are so welcoming, friendly and ears open. I recommend stopping in and getting a coffee of your choice, you won’t regret your experience.

Cortado ratings (I try to do with all places I visit):

(only because it didn’t come with a sidecar) but 3 bc it came in the right glass. Lots of places don’t know how to serve a proper cortado.
Coffee (was a simple heart, I forgot picture)“

“An international chain with great pastries. This is my favorite location in the area we live in. There is one closer to where we live but this one has more variety and plenty of room. I am drawn to chocolate and they have a lot. I get a doughnut looking pastry filled with chocolate cream. Their cloud cakes are special, European style in sweetness. My spouse loves their milk bread and their Danishes. If you haven't and like European style pastries, try them out.“

“Great food and drinks! The staff made it even more fun! Great spot!“

“Nice Starbucks. Good crew. Never had a problem and drinks are always good. Good wi-fi and parking is never an issue.

Most chairs, next to tables, are padded, with two bigger chairs by the door. Starbucks, as a whole company, needs more bigger chairs in their stores, but that has nothing to do with this specific location, which is highly recommended.“

“Shout out to the shops at Stonewall location. My on-the-go order was not ready due to a system issue. They corrected it quickly and even threw in a couple of free donuts!“

“Jessica was amazing!!! Customer service was outstanding!!! She knew when the specialty coffees come in and did not mind taking the time to talk to us about what was to be expected as far as the holiday flavors this year. Coffee was the best I’ve had from Starbucks in a while! Will only be going to this Starbucks from now on!!! Thanks Jessica!“
