This might be the best coffee and pastry shop we've ever been to. Excellent espresso and lattes. Ordered a seasonal latte with Earl grey syrup, and requested a macchiato with a "whisper of milk," which they hilariously indulged us and wrote on the cup. I can't remember where the owner told us they source their pastries from (small bakery in Atlanta) but we tried 4 different pastries and they were all incredible. Best bagels we've ever had, the chocolate banana muffin was delicious, and the lemon blueberry marzipan pastry was amazing. The shop itself has a couple small tables and lush green plants everywhere. Very cozy. We're sad we don't live in Gainesville. Highly recommend.

My favorite coffee shop ever. The coffee flavors and selections they have are incredible and I’ve never had a bad coffee from there. The shop itself is so adorable and cozy, it feels like the perfect spot to slow down for a break. The owners, JP and Sommer, are so nice as well. You can definitely see the love and passion they have for their shop. I always enjoy every part of my experience when I stop by. Thank you Meadowlark!

The nicest place run by the nicest people. For sure a great spot to connect, in this warm and friendly community.
It's tiny, but adorable! The coffe was outstanding, and they make their own syrups.

THE. BEST. COFFEE. Grab your friends and GO!! My husband and I tend to see ourselves as coffee connoisseurs and have had coffee all over the world… Meadowlark is in our top two! The quality of the coffee is unmatched and most importantly, they are consistent every time. On top of having the best coffee, everyone is always so kind and welcoming. We are so grateful they are local to us and are so excited to take our love ones here in the future! ☕️??

How anyone can rate this below a five boggles the mind. It is clean, cozy, minimal, but refreshing. Quality coffee is hard to find unless you go towards Atlanta. The baristas are interactive and all about customer satisfaction. Coffee is delish. Bagels are amazing. Love that they have assortment of fun kombuchas. Keep it coming Meadowlark!

My favorite coffee shop in GA! The staff is so welcoming and friendly, and the owner's expertise in coffee is shown through the awesome selection of beans from across the US and beyond. Their seasonal drinks are so thoughtful and incorporate amazing homemade syrups. Pastries are delivered fresh each morning, and the cinnamon roll is out of this world! I recently attended one of JP's cupping classes and it was a great way to meet new people, try some coffees I probably would have never tried on my own, and learn more about coffee in general. 10/10 recommend if you are in the area!
Coffee is amazing, I went and got a bloom latte which is pretty much a flower iced coffee. INCREDIBLE! I gladly will drive out of the way for good coffee, awesome pastries and wonderful friendly staff. Don't go anywhere else if you're in the area.

Best espresso I've had in a while. Fruity and juicy...It was great. Also had the apple turnover and it was also very good. Gainesville is lucky to have such a good coffee shop in their city.

Meadowlark is a great local coffee shop. The cozy environment, the attention to detail, the staff, and the amazing quality of their products (coffees and pastry) were 10/10. I love the small cozy environment, but also a great spot to just pick up from and head out for a walk around the square.

The coffee here is amazing. So much better than the coffee shop around the corner. The staff is always friendly, welcoming. It's cute and cozy. In the area for work so I always stop by during lunch to grab a coffee.
