The Standard CLCL -- Coffee Shop

We have been looking for a good local coffee place to go to during our winter stay in Summerfield. This one certainly ticked all of the boxes. Great coffee, wonderful staff, and a warm coffee house atmosphere. The desserts were too hard to pass on as well! We shall definitely return.

Love this establishment! Great selection and not just coffee...
Christian coffee lounge and library where they offer the large back room for meetings, Bible studies and prayer groups.

Hands up🙌🏼The BEST Coffee place around ! Friendly staff feels like family!
The coffee is fresh ! And seriously so full of delicious flavor !!!! If you haven’t tried yet … you will definitely be a repeat visitor!

I’ve been coming to The Villages for decades to visit my parents, and though The Villages appears to have everything, it was missing a good coffee shop. Well that is no longer the case, as now there is The Standard, and it’s not just good, it’s wonderful! The coffee it’s self is smooth & bold, and unlike S*bucks it’s neither bitter nor burnt tasting.

There is also an offering of delicious looking pastry treats daily, along with packaged items such as trail mix, nuts, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered nuts, and even healthy Epic bars.

The staff is always smiling, friendly, conversational, & welcoming, and they make you feel like they enjoy being there and want you to enjoy being there too.

The space is open, and comfortable. The front has a variety of table and chair options for both small and large groups. Then in the back there is a reading/meeting room. There is also outdoor seating available. The bathroom is large and clean.

When I come to The Villages The Standard is my first stop, as it’s a great “welcome to The Villages.” Then when it’s time to go leave, I make sure to grab my final cup of coffee from them for my drive home!

My favorites are the chili mocha latte, regular latte, & matcha latte. The chili mocha has a really good spicy kick to it. The regular latte I like because I can really taste the flavor of the espresso as I don’t add any sweetener or other flavors to it. Same with the matcha, as I don’t add sweetener, the flavor of the matcha really comes through.

The Standard is open Monday-Saturday 8am-4pm, closed on Sunday

A MUST visit when in The Villages!

I was passing through on a long road trip and popped into the standard for some coffee. Matt and the rest of the staff were immediately warm and friendly, and really brightened my day while chatting. The coffee and hot chocolate were amazing, and priced way better than any big coffee chain. I wish this cafe was located in my town!

Wow! I’m a local to the area, and have failed to checked out this unique little coffee shop, until today. I am ecstatic over their chai tea latte! Such a pleasant atmosphere and friendly smiles greeting you every step. Thank you, I will be back again, and again.🙂

This place is Soooo welcoming! The Manager and employees are so friendly! The coffee is the best I ever had! I recommend this place to everyone!

Had a raspberry mocha and yummmmmyyyyyyyh!!! So delicious. Short and sweet review

This specialty coffee shop is one worth coming to, even if you’re not sure what “specialty coffee” is! I went in and was greeted by the smiling owner Matt. He was very knowledgeable and willing to answer my questions like “what is specialty coffee?” It’s a clean, large space with lots of seating, a library room for studying and plenty of coffee and non-coffee options. It’s family friendly with a kid’s area and snacks for all ages. I look forward to making this a regular stop in my routine. Finally! An awesome coffee shop that waaay outranks Starbucks! You won’t be disappointed. ☕️ ❤️

Perfect for a work-cation. To anyone working remotely and visiting the Villages FL, this is the spot. Great service, atmosphere, and design. Very clean and sanitary. Whats really cool is that they have a meeting room/library tucked away in the back if the front ever gets too busy. Wifi could be better but its strong enough for me to have a video conference and do my emails. Overall good coffee and friendly people working here.
