CYM Coffee Co

One of my favorite coffee shops so far! They have really helpful staff and they have some Great scones

Amazing little coffee shop. Beats Starbucks by a mile. Local coffee shop with great knowledgeable staff that explain the coffee. Little bakery items that are really good. They also serve craft beer and wine. Many coffee portions are big when you drink it in the coffee shop. Great seating area and very comfortable.

INCREDIBLE coffee but the staff was sort of excessively antsy about COVID (coming from people who are being cautious) and we didn't feel welcomed at all, even with a party of 2. The person taking our order directed us as if we should already know where to go and acted as if we were close to other customers (the closest we got to anyone at any point was maybe 5 ft for a second to read the menu). Might be a little avoidant of returning during the pandemic, which sucks since there aren't many safe dates to go on right now and this is the closest coffee place to our apartment :(

I would have given a 5 star rating but the 3 people behind the counter did nothing but talk to each other. The one taking cash leaned against the wall the whole time we were at the counter. I guess it takes to much energy to stay upright without a wall. None of them had any interest in stopping their conversation to get our order. Then after we sat down their conversation continued loudly until it was time for one of them to take off work. Once they stopped yapping the place became nicely peaceful.

Oh, the Costa Rican light roast was excellent as were the cranberry orange muffin and the banana bread treats. The prices were also very good.

Being new to Gainesville I was disappointed at how few coffee shops there are besides Starbucks. So when I saw this place I was excited to try it. The atmosphere is very relaxed and it's a cozy place to hang out. The batistas were very friendly. I was impressed with the coffee I received. The flavor was perfect and it wasn't too sweet. I will definitely be back here again ! :)

The coffee was definitely decent. Although I wish they could be more environmental friendly by not using plastic cups in the store for cold coffee, not using straws, and setting up recycle bins. Also, the restroom could be cleaned more frequent, especially the smell.

Given that the location and the environment of CYM is truly appealing and a wonderful place to study. I decided to try their coffee, while studying one early morning. Upon ordering a drink, I am in no way a coffee connoisseur, however instead of helping me find the right drink or even just explaining they rudely yelled at my lack of coffee knowledge and later when I came from the bathroom I overheard the coworkers mocking me. I believe this small coffee shop has a thing or two to learn about customer service...

First time there. Met up with a new friend. They had ginger turmeric tea which I had iced. And we sat outside. Good experience.

Ive been here a couple of times and love the ambience and coffee. However, it disappoints for two reasons.

1. Internet is VERY slow. They have their guest network "Change Your Mind" that seems to not work very well. Ran a speed test and it came back at averaging somewhere between 1-2 MBPS. That is extremely slow. I was having trouble just doing online practice questions.

2. Temperature. In the warm months it is too hot. In the winter the place is freezing. Temperature box is locked and the employees are not even allowed to adjust it. Today the low temperature was supposed to be 28 and it is currently 45 outside and everyone including the employees in the shop were very cold.

Overall, this just tells me the owner is not investing time or money into the place. Usually this does not bode well for businesses in the long run. Unfortunate, as this use to be one of my favorite shops to go to. Hopefully they will improve!

I greatly appreciate quality whole foods and this place has it. Super tasty meals that are prepared with care, fresh ingredients, and creative combinations. I am also vegan and they have vegan options for almost all the meals. Really nice ambiance as well. Nice area to hang out. Quaint.
