🥇The Gathering Cafe Downtown Ocala

The new location is so cool and has a lot of seating. The coffee specials are way too sweet in my opinion (and I say that as someone who LOVES sweet drinks), but the pastries and food are delicious. Symmetry or Juniper are the places for great coffee. Come to this place for the food and ambiance, not necessarily high quality and delicious drinks.

Another side note, the past location was dog friendly, but this location was not. Unfortunately, my dog and I had to chill outside as we waited and we ate/drank at the square in Ocala, which is a 4 minute walk.

Still giving 5 stars, and sending all the love and support to this small business. 😊

The customer service here is the best I've experienced in so long. I got the vegan nest and it was by far one of the best breakfast meals I've had out at a restaurant! The combination of the hash brown cup vegan egg and cheese and avocado slice was scrumptious. There's even a prayer wall where you can write a prayer for someone or yourself. 10/10 would totally come back!!! Lots of love felt here❣️

I recently visited The Gathering Cafe for the first time and instantly loved the cozy atmosphere.

I wanted to try their vegan nest but they were sadly sold out of them. The staff recommended the vegan burrito, which I’m glad I got.I also got the dairy free blueberry muffin and they were both absolutely delicious.

I highly recommend The Gathering Cafe to anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming environment.

WONDERFUL experience here at The Gathering Place Cafe in Ocala, FL. My sister and I had an amazing brunch. Everything open toast, biscuits & gravy, quiche w/hummus & carrots. An amazing pumpkin spice latte in August. And the staff were just wonderful and down to earth. I wish this place was located where I live! Go check it out if you’re in the area. 💙🌀🦋

The Gathering Cafe is exactly what Ocala needs. A Christian family owned coffee shop bringing great coffee, sweets, & vibes! First off, their food selection is a brunch style from HUGE cinnamon rolls, quiches, soups, sandwiches, salads, danishes,muffins..the list goes on! Their coffee, teas & smoothies really sweeten the deal. Try the iced euphoria coffee (has dairy), its killer! This cafe is so aesthetic and is the perfect place to have a study break or a catch up with pals. Opened Monday- Friday from 7am-3pm. Another cool thing is that they feature a bible verse on every plastic cup Also, their staff is truly amazing & the sweetest people EVER! I will also like to add that this location in the past hasn't had much luck staying in business, but I know The Gathering is here to stay!!!

Warm and friendly atmosphere + staff. The hashbrown “nests” are crazy good… I got the broccoli melt and I think I could’ve eaten ten of them! Excited to come back with company and try more items from the menu. Highly recommend as a quick healthy breakfast.

From the moment you walk into this place you can feel the Holy Spirit and God’s presence. The staff is very friendly , the food is made from scratch ( which is the best way to have it) , the lattes are delicious and I enjoy reading the messages on the cups . No matter what someone is going through those Godly inspirations speak measures. I do not know any other coffee shop that puts this much needed twist on each cup they serve. Everything they serve , they serve with LOVE. I will ALWAYS tell people about this place . Thank you to you Sarah and your amazing staff . I’m so glad God has blessed Ocala with such a business as this. ✝️❤️

I pray there is more Gathering Cafes across the nation! Claiming it already!

The fact it took me so long to try this local place is a shame! For starters, the coffee was perfectly rich and they had lots of fun latte options if thats more your style. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The atmosphere was bright and homey. To top it all off the food was great. I have a new face Ocala coffee shop 🤍

Super excited about the Vegan Options coming to Ocala. We ordered the Vegan Nest with a side of Hummus and Carrots. Was very delicious but small portion. So just be mindful of that. Great atmosphere and such lovely and helpful staff.

This place is exceptional. Great ambiance ! Great food and amazing service!!! We will definitely be back! Sherri came over to our table and was LOVELY!! God bless them all!

Also the worship music 🎶 was FABULOUS!
