This place is awesome the owner used to travel the world and taste coffee. They make my coffee perfect every time full flavor it's great. You won't get a bad cup here. My name is Alex the macchiato guy and this is one of my favorite spots everytime I stop by gainsville. The quiches here are amazing all fresh and same with the pastries.

We just stopped for a latte, a cappuccino, and a couple of sweet bites. Everything was excellent. I think I'll be back in the morning for their brewed coffee. Looks like they have an excellent tea selection too (like tea connoisseur tea - whole leaf tea served in pots). They put a lot of thought and effort into the products they serve. Highly recommend.

Loved the experience and calm energy of the shop. The Volta Chocolate Single was really good and the Lemon Pudding was perfect. The staff were friendly and very attentive. Will definitely come back, again.

They were out of all of the hot chocolate except for two.

Great coffee and homemade goodies. I tried the grapefruit pound cake and it was so tasty.

I will say that I was nervous when I walked in and didn't see "cortado" as an option on the board under Espresso. Then they say they only have medium roasts. So I explain what a cortado is and cross my fingers. Dare I say it was probably the best cortado I've had out in Florida. We also tried the farmhouse cake I believe it was called with pralines which was delicious, light, fresh and moist. Needless to say, we will return when we're back in Gainesville and hopefully it'll be as good as it was today.

We were driving through town and wanted to stop at a local shop. We were actually planning to stop at a different shop, but saw how busy this place was and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure why it was so busy....we ordered 4 different coffees and they were all so bad we didn't drink them. What a waste of money! You could tell they used good coffee beans but it tasted like straight milk and a swig of coffee....on all of the different drinks. Needles to say, we were disappointed, and I have no idea why they had so many people there.

Got a coffee here a few days ago. Pretty disappointed, I thought with the prices the coffee would taste pretty good or have some sort of element that made it different. Paying $6 for an iced coffee that wasn’t filled to the top of the cup and tasted like one I could get at McDonald’s was a waste.

Love the coffee here, took my friends from out of town and they're already talking about going back. I got the chocolate Maya and it relieved a terrible tension I had. Highly recommend 👌

I've been here twice. Not really sure what to say other than I had a bad experience both times. The first time, I just didn't enjoy what I ordered. This time, I ordered a cafe au lait which is a fairly standard drink amongst coffee shops pretty much everywhere. I received what looked like an iced coffee with milk. When I told them that I had ordered a hot drink - a cafe au lait - and didn't say I wanted it iced, they asked me if I wanted a latte. A cafe au lait is typically about 3/4 cup filled with regular coffee (not espresso) and steamed milk, so I asked for that but I was told that they don't make coffee(??) and offered me a cortado. This might of been ok but not what I was looking for... I know they sort of attempted to correct the issue, but it was sort of odd for a coffee shop to not know what a cafe au lait was or to assume I wanted an iced drink. I ended up just taking the iced coffee but it honestly tasted really awful. I don't think their coffee flavor is right for me. Also, I couldn't find an outlet and the wifi wasn't great (Took me a while to connect) so I left.

Cool coffee shop with good vibes. Interesting menu options. I tried the New York Egg Whip. Really interesting to try.

Their coffee is good, but their Wi-Fi is hot garbage. I could plug an ethernet cable into a wheel with a hamster running in it and probably get faster internet speed.

Their signature 333 tea blend was soothing and a great way to start your morning ! The entire staff was kind and helpful with their menu😬

I don’t understand the hype about this place. Coffee is ok and the atmosphere pretty average. Not enough options for plant based milks, barista not very helpful qnd quite slow. Sorry, but definitely not a place we would come back to. P.s. they do sell very boring and uninspiring “v is for vaccine” T-shirts if you need one :/ :/ 😅😳🤯🤯

Yooo I wish I found this place sooner. That cinnamon oatmilk latte is scrumptious! Also the staff was really cool and helpful. I'll def be doing another review on this place after I try everything out! One thing y'all need is a bigger sign out front and more ads. We need everyone to know about this place! See y'all again soon. !

Excellent place run by friendly, highly knowledgeable folks. Great selection of specialty coffee, organic teas and rare bean to bar chocolates from around the world. Definitely recommended!

One of the best cinnamon lattes around. Usually some nice latte art, but not always. They have some food offerings. The bacon mushroom quiche was yum-my!

Took over 30 minutes to get a decaf and a red eye. They were in a good location but seriously they only brew one cup at a time.
