🥇The Gathering Cafe Downtown Ocala

Cute little spot in Ocala. Those are hard to come by in this area so this definitely gets a FIVE STAR rating.

Food is amazing....especially the Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll...wow! But everything we tried, we enjoyed.

It was also quite nice to see positive messages throughout. Written with a sharpie, you'll have a scripture or some sort of positive affirmation on your coffee cup. While it seems to be devotionally inclined, it is quite nice to find people with a spiritual inclination and a love of God.

Make sure to check the hours because the schedule seems to be like that of a doctors office... days off, closed early; so make sure to plan ahead.

Amazing coffee selection. I got the Cinnamon Dolce Iced Latte with Oatmilk. (Which was great) The cherry turnover was really delicious, sweet & tart. The staff was friendly, attentive, and worked fast even though the place was packed with people. Be prepared for at least a 5 minute wait to order. I'm definitely going to come back to try the food next time.

Quality food for quality price. Want to try their unique and much desired Egg Nest breakfast items, MUST be there before 11am at which time the griddles are changed and your opportunity is lost of trying these delicious dishes! Great location to be filled with food and leave feeling like you just traveled to another world. Dishes are packed with flavor and full of color. We arrived after 11am, (very sad face) and got their Open-faced toast specials (happy face). We got the the Avocado Bliss and the Mediterranean. Both were good, I preferred the Mediterranean since it had homemade humus. We also got some of their sweet dishes too - to take home and eat later. Everything was delicious. The owner - Sarah was very kind and took time to explain each dish I asked about. Austin did a great job helping me find the perfect selection of specials to try. The restaurant was very easy to find, had plenty of parking, clean bathrooms and the smell of the restaurant which was amazing and smelled so sweet made it hard to figure out what to eat. Thank you for a wonderful experience, it is an adventure which I look forward to trying again very soon!

Ordered my coffee and it was disgusting!!! The lady at the counter (the owner) tapped her hand on my receipt and said that’s what you ordered!! Well lady, It was rung in wrong and it was gross!!! And you are extremely rude!!! You need to learn how to treat customers and be nice. I was not rude or mean to you. When you’re working ( and when your not) you need to remember WWJD. Be Nice!!!!!!

Incredible service with really good food, the crowds with line out the door should tell you all you need to know. Had a honey lavender latter, avocado toast and their muffins. All were delicious, we had a party of 6 and everyone loved it. Great energy inside too. Will return every time I’m in the area.

This place is so light and welcoming. I just want to sit and watch the sun rise and be in the warmth of this place all day. The smell of bacon cooking, coffee and sweet treats is so much like home. Love the farm house feel. The Cinnamon rolls fill up a plate their so big and yummy. They write words of Affirmation on very cup!. I got to witness this first hand today. Stop on by and be in the light .

Love this place! It is such a cute little pastry shop. The people who run this establishment are super friendly and very sweet. The pastries are absolutely amazing and beautiful foods! Not disappointed in the slightest! We will be making this a regular spot to start our date days for sure. Or just any time we are in the neighborhood! Great job guys!!!

A friend brought me here a few months ago and we just came again today to the new location. Absolutely loved the new spot. The food is phenomenal as it always is (I had the caprese panini). The owner is always around to greet you and remembered us from our last visit. She is always super accommodating and brings a sense of community and comfort that we really need in this world. If I lived closer this would be a daily staple. :)

Tried today for the first time. Ordered a mocha frappe and lemon blueberry muffin - both of which were delicious. Will definitely be back to try more menu items. Everyone was kind and very helpful.

The place was terrific the BLTs were phenomenal and so was the tomato soup homemade and very very good although it was on their opening day when I went here the service was a tiny bit slow and that's understandable because they were not used to the regular crowd that they had I give this place five stars in all categories because these people are beautiful Christian people and the owner is a beautiful Christian woman and I wish her so much success with her business and I know some of her family has something to do with this business too from the Grapevine.
I cannot wait until I get time to come here again thank you for your service and your employees may God bless you on your adventure and in your life may God be with you
