43 Best Coffee Shops in Gainesville

“Sadly didn’t get pictures cause we ate too fast. Food was delicious and surprisingly healthy in terms of high protein and low calorie. Atmosphere is very chill, like a cool coffee shop or hip study spot. Huge menu with tons of options to customize your own waffles, acai bowls, churros, shakes, coffee, etc. Definitely our new breakfast place.

Kid-friendliness: Not loud or busy, good for families.“

“I had an Amazing London Fog tea with honey this morning!! The only problem was that between the lavender buds on top and the flavorful Earl Grey tea, I couldn't tell if I was supposed to be relaxed or energized. 😁🤣“

“Checked this place out with a couple friends and was totally impressed with their range of unique gifts and displays 🤩 I purchased a shampoo bar and some wax melts that I know I’m going to enjoy. Would definitely recommend a visit, get some delicious coffee and walk around their super cute shop!“

“Stopped in for the first time while visiting Gainesville and this place is great! super clean, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and stellar coffee. The Smoked Mexican Mocha is a solid 10/10. Will absolutely be back!“

“My first time coming here and I love the smores iced latte. It was sweet (and I dont like the taste of coffee so I usually add sugar, but didn't have to). People are sweet. also there's a kitty there so that was an automatic 10 ❤️“

“Always delicious!! Love their food and coffee! ☕️ check out the specials!!“

“best coffee shop/food in Gainesville“

“Delicious coffee and tea drinks, friendly staff, great atmosphere for chit-chat and reading. Love this place!“

“Cozy, genuine place to enjoy a leisurely coffee with good peeps. Library, PCs, good vibes. Do go!“

“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“

“DONUTS ARE AMAZING HOT & FRESH A WIDE VARIETY Something for everyone“

“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.

“love their coffee and the smoothies. everything my wife and I drive by, we need to make a stop. would definitely come back“

“I work at Haile Plantation..always love my Frozen Vanilla Chai ☕“

“Excellent!!!! Buen trato y servicio“

“One of the best Cuban sandwiches in N. Florida. I also recommend Tres Leches. It was delicious! And I can't forget to mention the owner. She is such a sweetheart. I can't wait to go back.“

“☕Coffee & Lunch Spot☕

Opus Coffee makes a great pit stop for a caffeinated beverage (both tea and coffee), sweet treat, or luncheon. I was surprised to find both Matcha Strawberry Scones and Golden Milk Bread in the pastry display window (and enjoyed them both!). The staff is very friendly, and the service is quick. They also sell a variety of salads, fresh fruit, and yoghurt.“

“awesome place with fabulous drinks.❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Delicious coffee! Friendly staff!“

“We enjoyed the smoke. Great quality. Super friendly owner and staff. We will be back. Music was awesome too.“

“Worst sandwich ever and charged $9.80 for it. DONT ORDER A SANDWICH. Dry croissant with a very thin piece of cheese and One very thin piece of meat. It was so thin it was transparent. I thought it was the wrapper left on the cheese! Had to use my nail to peel it up to see. RIP OFF, never again. Can't say about other items...“

“Friendly baristas, fast service, and great coffee!“

“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.“

“loved it“

“Great Starbucks branch. Nice ambiance to enjoy your coffee and great customer service.“

“Jaleah was the best! Came from ocala and made my way to this dunkin only to have ordered and she payed for My order! Shocked is an understatement! Thank you again for being an awesome person and putting a huge smile on my face! Made My WEEK! It's the little things that count! 🥰“

“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.“

“Vegan breakfast sandwich is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I have been vegan for many years and this is by far the best vegan breakfast I have ever had. I believe its impossible sausage, JUST egg and vegan cheese on ciabatta, tasted very fresh. I wish all the locations offered this but I will be back just for the sandwich! My iced caramel oat latte was amazing as well. Thank you Opus!“

“It was definitely a new experience for me, but I would visit again“

“It’s the best coffee place ever !!“

“Fresh ground decaf Americana! Very nice roast. It’s near Krispy Kreme in Gainesville so yummy donuts and yummy coffee.“

“Great selection of macarons, and such an adorable place to sit with nice hot cup of coffee ☕️“

“Simply the best!

Frosty Fox is the absolute best Boba Tea in Gainesville. Frosty Fox offers authentic Taiwanese milk tea, made with imported ingredients.

The environment is modern and western, making for a very comfortable and chill atmosphere.

The owners are the MOST friendly in all of Gainesville. Go and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Parking: Easy parking!“

“Good coffee, decent staff, but one does wonder about the trash can for patrons only being outside. That seems wrong. Being told by the staff after you look around with a cup to throw away, decide to leave it on the table because there is no bin inside, and then being yelled at by the staff to take your trash outside is a bit of a buzz kill to the experience.“

“Cindy B Goods is a hidden gem! Cindy, Sheryl, and Dorothy are as wonderful as their food! The Cafe is charming, warm, and full of laughter! You won't just get a great meal, you'll leave with new friends! They make the tastiest hotdogs wrapped in Cindy's home made bread for a crispy touch! Another time we had the veggie lasagna and pulled pork with Mac n cheese! If you're in need of a tasty meal, a hearty laugh, and a comfy friendly place, Cindy B Goods is for you!“

“Just so everyone knows, the photos shown here are not accurate because they are photos of the Hub Starbucks, which is much further across campus. Also they do not serve things like meatballs, or truffles-I think these are images of catering perhaps? Not sure...also the location is inaccurate as well, as this Starbucks is literally right behind the science library, next to panda express and across from the Chick-fil-A on the Sun Terrace. There is also NO delivery there.

Vegetarian options: Spinach feta egg wrap, kale mushroom egg bites, tomato mozzarella panini“

“This is such a nice place. My kids said it was the best drink they ever had! The man who helped us was very nice and gave us great advice as to which drink we might like. We highly recommend visiting.“

“Such beautiful presentation, and delicious food. A unique dining experience, nothing quite like it here in Gainesville. Definitely will be returning to try more of their dishes!“

“Delicious food!!! We go here often when we are in the Archer Road area. I would definitely recommend this cafe, they have amazing egg and cheese croissants! The only issue is they stop serving food at 3:00. Otherwise, they have good smoothies and muffins. It’s right across from the T-Mobile store. Sometimes, the line to get food is long, and it takes a while to get food. Otherwise, most days there are only a couple of cars! I would 99% recommend this place, but you have to go quickly before their muffins run out LOL.“

“Food: 10/10 frappes are customizable (to an extent). Dairy free options available. They are really thick so be sure to drink them while their still very frozen or you’ll be adding ice water to it later
People: 9/10 love the people, they can just be a little hard to find at times. Each person is vastly different from the other so you’ll probably have a different experience every time (all good though!)
Atmosphere: 10/10. Definitely set upr to sell. The stands are in appropriate places to be seen but not in the way. Lighting is at a good level.
Value: two frappes with substitutes was cheaper and had better value than their surrounding competitors

Dietary restrictions: Dairy sensitive options“

“Personally I don't trust starbucks imbedded into department stores or grocery stores because they're separately owned meaning they run on their own rules instead of Starbucks corporation rules for making drinks. The drinks won't be wildly different but normally they aren't made the exact same (I've worked for starbucks as my source). Same goes for airports however there was nothing wrong with the drinks I got so I can't complain and the 2 baristas were cracking jokes with each other and customers which is pretty rare to see sometimes so I have to give them the full 5 stars just don't expect this experience that I had for your visit. I got the new seasonal roasted chestnut latte and my S/O got the strawberry acai lemonade refresher without dried fruits they were both fine and they remembered to not add the fruits!

Parking: Huge parking lot but you normally have to park pretty far away from the building but a little walking never hurt anybody“

“Great drink and they do the Unique Rice Roll really yummy“
