    Area of the coffee shop

    This place is so cute and so instagrammable worthy! Very bright and modern with stylish furniture-lots of pink and green and various places throughout where you can sit. Service was quick and they were friendly! However I did not like that fact that my latte was not filled up to room, as much as coffee is now I would at least expect that. My latte was good nevertheless. I can see why the college kids flock to this place-they even have an upstairs area that's quite cozy and cute with seating.

    I came with a friend to study at Daydreamer Cafe in downtown Gainesville. Parking in front of the building wasn't available at the time, so we had to park in a parking garage and walk over which took about 5 minutes, nothing crazy. Once we got there, we were in awe with the atmosphere of this place, it's absolutely beautiful inside. They had several booths and tables for sitting. Our barista was really nice and carried a conversation with us. We went on a Tuesday right when they opened at 10am so it wasn't crowded inside at all. I got the blackberry brown sugar iced latte with lavender foam (their spring season drink). They were out of blackberry syrup but he swapped it with blueberry syrup and it was delicious. I ate before I got here as I wasn't interested in trying any of the food items they have to offer (they are more well known for their beverages I assume). We spent a good hour and a half sitting at a comfortable couch with pillows and a table in front of us. It was amazing, I will definitely be using this place as a regular study spot!!

    Love the Sweetwater matcha and the warm, welcoming atmosphere of Daydreamer Cafe. Perfect place to study or meet up with friends. There is wifi, outlets, and several different places to sit, including booths and tables. It is located a block away from the University of Florida campus and a cute cafe for students to enjoy. Their latte's are unique and delicious as well!

    One of the prettiest coffee shops I've seen - including outside of Gainesville. I got the special "Pumpkin Cloud" - tasted like just that. The service I think could use some work - but otherwise vibes are great and I'll definitely come back on my next trip to Gainesville.

    Overall very cute inside. Tons of seating and booths to meet with friends or study. You don't really interact with the staff since all the ordering is done on an iPad. The options are the classics, but you can customize as you'd like. I loved that they gave options for sweetness levels as you order.

    Is there parking at this location?

    There is no public/free parking for customers at Daydreamer Cafe. However, there is a few paid street spots out front through the Passport Parking app. There is also Gainesville neighborhood street parking in the area for those with the parking pass.

    The vibe was great and it was so nice to see all the college kids back and enjoying their drinks.

They also have outdoor seating on the patio out front. Concord Coffee offers a nice selection of drinks with unique syrups, etc. Although I didn't order coffee this time, I would be willing to try it in the future! The staff is super friendly and helpful. Their pastry case is limited and I believe they get their baked goods from somewhere local. I wasn't sure what to get and the worker recommended any of their pastries, as opposed to their bagels, as they were delivered fresh today. I ended up ordering the cinnamon roll, she heated it up and that took about 5 minutes. The cinnamon roll itself wasn't anything super special. The dough reminded me more of that of a croissant due to its flakier consistency. The glaze on top was light and the cinnamon inside was underwhelming. I still didn't have a problem with it until I reached the center. I noticed the center wasn't fully heated up and even felt slightly cold. But my biggest issue was the fact that the dough in the center was very much raw. It was not cooked/baked through at all. Disappointing to say the least. I would not return for a pastry or baked good, as I believe you can find better ones around the area for a better price. But I would return to try the coffee. Overall, I think Concord Coffee is a super cute coffee shop located in midtown. The staff is really sweet and helpful as well. I thought the inside was clean and I appreciated the decor. With that that being said, I would stick to beverages as opposed to their food items. My cinnamon roll was anything but special, I feel like one from Publix would have left me more satisfied. By biggest issue was definitely the fact that it wasn't baked through and raw in the center. I will get around to trying their coffee at some point in the future.

Definitely a place that welcomes sitting and talking, where you can relax for a bit. A small selection of bagels and baked goods, but all are good quality. 3-4 kinds of bagels and 3 kinds of muffins on the days we were there. The coffee is decent but not spectacular, though they have a long list of specialty drinks to appeal to a variety of tastes. There aren't any pour over options, if you aren't getting an espresso drink you're getting coffee from an urn. The beans do seem well sourced, the brewing doesn't seem like it's getting the best out of them.
