The Mission Coffee Shop

Best coffee spot in Gainesville! They have delicious coffee and pastries! I love that they donate all their proceeds to missions & humanitarian charities. It's a wonderful feeling to know that with every coffee I drink, I'm helping make a positive difference in lives around the world.

New to Gainesville but thus far this has been my favorite coffee house for the following reasons:
- Beautiful modern open space that is clean, including the bathrooms
- Quite piano background music so I can easily focus on my work or a conversation
- Reasonably priced coffee and pastries
- Delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches made in-house, apart from the bagels.
- Plenty of open tables and outlets. I’ve come for a week now, M-F, from 8-5, and haven’t had a challenge with finding a space.

Very good coffee. Especially enjoyed the cold brew and savory scones baked in house. There is a good atmosphere and lots of room to spread out. The spaces are designed well for acoustics, so it's not too loud. Great place to get some work or studying done.

This is a GREAT SPACE for coffee, remote work, and chilling! I am in town visiting family and needed a quiet space to go to catch up on work for a couple of hours. I've been here a few days and tried coffee at other locations and then today looked for something "better". After reading reviews of other coffee spots in the area I decided to try this even though it's a couple miles out of town. It was well worth the drive! The pour-over coffee I ordered is very nice - great depth/richness of flavor. Comfortable, clean, modern, nicely decorated, peaceful, air conditioned along with a large space for privacy while on phone calls. I highly recommend - and don't forget to leave a tip as those go for their missions fund! Note: the coffee cafe is inside the church. Drive around to the back to park then enter through the center glass doors.

Very clean and wide open space, cost of cup of coffee is comparable to every other coffee shop but your contribution help with the church!

This review is solely because of my experience with one of your employees, Helga.

Long story short, I got into an argument with my boyfriend and needed time away to breathe, so I parked my car in the church parking lot for a few hours because it’s generally safe and well lit.

Today just so happens to be the day when the lawn care guys come out. They will be getting their own five star review for being amazing human beings. The main lawn care guy, I believe his name was Mark, came over to my car from a place of concern and asked if I was alright, offered to buy me a coffee, and let me know that I could use the church sofas/ restroom facilities. I thanked him for letting me know and kindly declined his offer of coffee. Half an hour later, Helga walked up to my car, sweet as can be, and let me know that Mark had told her the situation. She told me that whenever I decide to come in, they’ll give me a coffee. She handed me a bag with a pastry and told me that sometimes after an argument, you need something to sweeten life up.

Helga is everything this world lacks, she’s an amazing human being and I am absolutely going to get my coffee from here from now on (which isn’t often, but I am just so moved by her compassion).

It was too nice haha. It's in a church / worship house. There is a very nice waiting area and coming in felt like we were at NASA or something. Except the Kennedy space center wishes they had a coffee shop this nice LOL.

Beware of this place. For the prices they charge they must be staying in 5 star hotels on their missions. Every person you ask about the missions they supported last you get a different response. It sounds to me that the proceeds they use to support missions is just money they spend to go on personal mission trips. Feels shady to me.

Love getting coffee here! The pimento cheese sandwich is great. And the money goes to missions work.

I love our coffee shop for so many reasons...besides all the Starbucks drinks that are offered and the pastries and sandwiches, the best thing is that all the profit goes to World Missions which is currently touching the nations of Cuba, Jamaica, Africa, Honduras and China.
It is also a great place to work quietly on your computer or to sit and enjoy your favorite drink with a friend.
