Basically traveled to WEC solely to give this place a try…read more Pretty unassuming being in the hotel but was surprised at the variety and quality of the pastries. Specifically had the raspberry and chocolate croissants and was very happy with both. Raspberry croissant was super flaky with a nice cream and jelly inside. Little messy to eat, but delicious and not too sweet. The chocolate croissant was also very good and both pastries were large. Price for both was a little steep but given size, quality, and being at WEC it really wasn't bad. Coffee was also pretty good with the price surprisingly reasonable be given its location. Place was fairly busy but the line moved quickly so it wasn't an issue. If you're looking for a nice pastry and coffee I would definitely repeat if you're at or near WEC.

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

Seating is available on ground level and in the specious area upstairs.

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

Hubs planned for us to visit as a surprise. It was our dog's gotcha day and he picked this place…read morebecause it was dog friendly for inside! Upon walking in, it was overwhelming since I was honestly unaware of this place! Lol and because I was unaware of our visit ahead of time, I did not get to look at Yelp beforehand. We decided to browse around the market area before sitting somewhere. There were so many items! You name it, it was sold in the market. There were items that were handmade by local residents and items from corporations as well. There were some snacks that piqued my interest, as well as some crafts. When we were about to sit at the bar, we were greeted by I believe one of the owners, who very enthusiastically welcomed us and paid a lot attention to our dog. I was craving iced tea so I ordered that, along with a bottle of wine- since it was cheaper. Hubs went the usual route and ordered an IPA on tap. We sat and enjoyed our drinks while we gazed around. Since it is so close to WEC, they had horse races showing on the television. The bartender was attentive and kept my bottle of wine in the fridge and topped me off as necessary. It was not super busy in the afternoon but as it became later, more people came in. I believe a lot of traffic from the restaurant next door stroll in after dinner. Speaking of, there is not a kitchen but they have baked goods, cheeses in the fridge, and food trucks on occasion. They also have pairing dinners and all their events are updated on their Instagram page. If this place was not so far from home, we would be here every week.

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!
