Espresso is strong and packs a punch! A bit on the pricier side - $5.30 for a small oat milk Latté. Nevertheless this place has an amazing vibe for studying or doing work...especially in the morning when the early light pours through the many windows. Plentiful seating and outlets (great for students!) Highly recommend for any UF student needing to do work in a bright and airy environment. If you're visiting Gainesville it's a perfect spot in midtown for a coffee break or WFH session.

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.

Everyone was so friendly and made you feel welcomed! We can't wait to visit them again and have a Chinese tea ceremony.

HOWL is one of my favorite spots to study in town, and definitely my favorite place to go for…read morespecialty teas. They make the best matcha I have ever had, along with a slew of other handcrafted beverages, hot and iced coffee and tea, and kombucha, and they also serve ceremony-style traditional hot teas. If you are looking for anything artisanal, look no further than HOWL. The place itself is a historic building with a very fun, new-age vibe including ground-level seating, a front porch with a community bulletin board, a backyard, and a little gift shop of incense, candles, tarot decks, jewelry, and tea pets for your hot teas. Service is usually pretty quick and always friendly, but if you are looking to come here be careful of the hours. They are not open Monday or Tuesday, and on the days they are open it is only from 11am to 5pm (shortened from the previous hours of 11-7).

Overall: I hesitated coming here bc of parking but I am glad I finally did! Come through!…read more Ambiance: There is street parking but you will have to pay if during the days and hours set. I was lucky to get a spot after game day in the Swamp. Inside is very cute and definitely made for students or people who need coffee and to work on things. They have extension cords just for this and I think that was very considerate! There is outside seating to if you're just coming to meet up with friends or just to sit for a bit while you enjoy a cup. Food: They have the Baker and Baker goodies just like other locations but also sell warm sandwiches! It is prepackaged and the baristas just heat it up. I got the chicken sandwich and it was delicious. I also tried the apple fritter and it was good. I do wish I tasted more apple in it but I know Opus didn't make it so can't complain. Drinks: They have other drinks here that are def named by Gen Z folks and some millennials lol. I didn't do an actual comparison but they seemed similar to the drinks at the Opus Airstream maybe slightly different flavors. I just always get an iced latte with no flavor...very boring lol. My friend's daughter got a hot chocolate and she loved it (before spilling half of it) lol Service: Polite and quick. They thanked me for tipping them. Bless their heart. Side bar: they have wooden menus here and I got to read about how Opus came to be and it was nice to know more about the owners, especially that they came from the 3-0-5 like me!

Cafe Voltaire has been on my Gainesville bucket list for a while now. They are a cafe known for…read moretheir great coffee, French crepes, and unique atmosphere. Located right on the cusp of downtown, the cafe is a great place to relax, socialize, and study. The inside is rustic with an "old European" kind of feel. There really isn't another cafe like this in Gainesville! The service was super amiable and helpful. I specifically wanted to check out Cafe Voltaire for their crepes as I've heard so many rave reviews. And after spending this past summer in France, I feel like I am a good judge of an "authentic" crepe. I went just after they opened (8am) and it wasn't busy at all. While I wanted to try a crepe, I was told they don't start making them until 9am. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay that long on this particular morning, so I didn't get a chance to try their crepes--but I will be back to try one FOR SURE. Since I couldn't try I crepe, I ordered one of the items in their display case. They bake several other items in-house and even have home-made gelato! I opted for a piece of their bacon-Gruyère caramelized onion focaccia. She worked offered to serve it with an herbed butter and house-made pickles, so of course I opted for that! The focaccia was served heated up and was decent. I honestly thought it was a little dry and the butter lacked salt. While this wasn't a hit, the chocolate gelato I ordered to go certainly was! This truly brought me back to Europe and I will need to get some more of their gelato down the road. Overall, while I was unable to try a crepe, the item I truly wanted, I still had a good experience. The focus wasn't bad, but could have been better. But that gelato--WOW was that memorable. You really cannot find anything like this in Gainesville and it is a true gem of a cafe. It is very reminiscent of a European cafe and really look forward to returning. I will be updating this review soon with a review of some crepes and coffee too!!
