Now it's a beautiful spacious industrial historical looking space with plenty of seating inside. There is a wraparound old school bar too. The feeling you get is absolute peace when you are inside. It's so strange to have such positive energy in a place ! There are friendly young people working behind the counter and the quality of service is better than what you would typically see. Could it be ?? ? Could it be that I finally found a coffee shop that I can go "hang out" and really enjoy my time there ? The avocado toast was delicious and I loved the seasoning on it. I requested the egg for $1.00 more and it was cooked to perfection. I really feel like I struck gold with this coffee shop and I'm excited to be a regular

Construction nearby slightly limits access from downtown, but a short detour to SW 2nd Ave takes you to the rear lot.

The name of this business is very cute and apparently dog friendly. The inside is pretty spacious with plenty of seating and there is a small upstairs area off to the side. They had a white pumpkin coffee special they were offering so of course we both ordered that. No complaints, had great flavor and did the trick. It wasn't busy, but it did take a very long time for a cup of coffee. They do offer other menu items and there is a nice selection of ice cream that you will notice when you get to the counter. Overall, if you are in the area and need some coffee, recommend stopping in.

Midtown Station Sipping Grounds Coffee.Bites.Sips…read more I love to try new coffee shops being a coffee and early morning person this is important to me. I just love finding places that have a great vibe, good service and where I can feel comfortable and relaxed if I want to just sit and let myself breathe. For me this is often after an early morning workout so if you are one at 7am I'm very happy. I had passed by this place before when going to Tucsawilla Park which is directly across the street! That is a plus already because after you eat you may go enjoy a nice walk in the park and watch the ducks in the pond or go play Tennis if you'd like. Okay let's talk about "Midtown Station" this place is more than it lets on. There is ample parking for one so that's a bonus. You can sit outside and enjoy your breakfast if you'd like there are a few tables right outside and it's really quite lovely. When you go in there is a couple of places where you can sit comfortably and just relax as it's very quiet and feels so cozy. There are plants, games and very comfortable chairs and places to sit. Pillows and the most adorable decor that you'd think you were at home if it wasn't in such a large building. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, willing to make and create your order to your specifications. They have a pretty large variety of things you can have from breakfast to lunch, coffees of all kinds, smoothies, matcha, lotus energy drinks, ice teas, Arnold Palmer and so much more! The food variety is fabulous ! I haven't seen this much variety in a place that basically open from 7-3 Monday through Thursday, Friday 7-3:30, Saturdays 8-3:30 and Sundays from 8-3 doing breakfast and lunch it seriously surprised me. There are breakfast bites, pastries, sub sandwiches, salads or wraps, sandwiches, Wayne's pasta salad plate ( now I'm curious lol ) , Tapas that looked incredible and build your own breakfast! I mean what more can you ask for! The interesting thing about this place is that in the back it's a whole other place that opens at 11:am Tuesday through Saturday and offers other foods and drinks! I must go back a do a review to find out more. There is huge indoor and outdoor sitting area to enjoy your time too! I highly recommend that on a beautiful Ocala day or if you happen to be passing by stop by and say hello. You will be very happy that you did, I know I will be going back to this little piece of heaven! My breakfast biscuits and gravy delicious and fresh! I brought home to my son bacon egg and cheese on toasted sourdough. Needless to say he thoroughly enjoyed every bite. I also brought home these two amazing cookies and I'm eating the chocolate chip one now while finishing my coffee and it's absolutely phenomenal. Great job Sipping Grounds at Midtown Station you guys are awesome!

After church on an early Sunday, my wife and I opted to try this place out. We were initially made…read moreaware of this place during our initial orientation of the city while we were deciding on a relocation to the area. The guide pointed it out as a popular breakfast joint so we were eager to try it. Upon entering, the place looked cozy (ie tight space) but was around half full of diners. We were asked to seat ourselves. Once presented the menu, we ordered coffee and water before deciding what we'll order for breakfast. Having seen their menu beforehand, my wife ordered their sweet potato pancakes with tater tots and I ordered the Tri Omelet with spuds and wheat toast. Service was slooow, even though the place hadn't filled up yet. It took a while to get our coffee and much longer for our breakfast. My wife liked her pancakes which she couldn't finish and had to take home for a snack later. My omelet was good, although I would've preferred more bacon than ham. All in all, food was good but the slow service took away from the experience. Breakfast for 2 came to just over $41 with tip.

Stella's continues to impress with fresh ingredients and absolutely incredible bread. I wasn't sure since it being 2 years since I was here if they would have the breakfast I had last time. I was surprised they did have it so I ordered the Spanish Egg Breakfast, which came with arugula, chorizo, heirloom tomatoes, ciabatta toast, and a preserve. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the chorizo added a great smoky-spicy kick, and the heirloom tomatoes were sweet and juicy. The arugula balanced everything out with a slight peppery bite, and the ciabatta toast was just amazing--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfect with the preserve. I also had the Jamón Serrano Sandwich & split it with my bf. It was just as good as it sounds. The jamón serrano, manchego, and basil pesto were a perfect combination--savory, nutty, and herby--all sandwiched between that same incredible ciabatta. Every bite was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service was friendly, though the wait was a little longer than expected. Still, the quality of the food made up for it. Definitely won't wait as long to return next time!

It looks like a store from the outside but I did see someone sitting inside sipping wine so I was intrigued. As you walk in, there is a spacious seating area at the front of the store. Then it kind of transitions into a market store. There is a counter you order food at and pay for items. There is a small bar with seating next to that as well. We browsed the market items and picked up a couple of items. We went to the counter to pay and that is when I realized you can order food and drinks. If you order something that takes time to prepare, it is brought to you at a table. Since I ordered a glass of wine, I just waited there for it and went to sit. Hubs retrieved a beer from the fridge. The owner was the individual we interacted with and he was very pleasant. There was constant traffic the entire time we were there so I hope that means they will remain in business. The prices were not too crazy and it is a perfect place to have a drink and/ or gourmet snacks. I definitely want to return and try other items on the menu.
