We stopped by The Florida Room Restaurant and really enjoyed our meal. We tried a few different things, and everything was solid. The chicken tenders with home fries were crispy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a comfort-food classic. The fried chicken sandwich was a favorite juicy chicken with a great crunch and very satisfying. The pesto panini was lighter but still full of flavor, with the pesto adding a nice fresh touch. For drinks, the sweet tea was refreshing and hit the spot. The Kimchi Bloody Mary was definitely unique bold, savory, and great if you like something a little different. The Ginnie Springs cocktail was light and refreshing, making it an easy drink to enjoy with food. Overall, it's a relaxed spot with good food and interesting drinks. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Gainesville and want a casual meal with some fun options.

Breakfast fried rice

Florida Room is the exact vibe you want for a breakfast/brunch spot. It feels like a cozy diner, but elevated by the cohesive decor. The staff is so friendly and helpful; however, the food did take forever to come out. It looked like that happened only to our table, so it might not be the rule, but it did make the experience slightly less good. That said, the food when it did come out was amazing! It was so tasty. The breakfast fried rice was incredible. It tasted fantastic I was so excited.

Biscuits and Gravy
Erick F.

I left my visit with expectations exceeded. The location is great centrally located in downtown. The staff was super friendly. I order the biscuits and gravy that comes with fried chicken tenders on top. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was fried perfectly, juicy, and well seasoned. The biscuit were soft and buttery. The gravy was seasoned great although I wish it had more sausage but overall delicious. The home fries were nice and crispy. This is such a great location to come grab breakfast

I loved everything about this place. The food! The decor! The service! Amazing choices for breakfast and lunch. Cheese grits were heavenly. So many great looking baked treats in the display case I wish I had picked up. Only bad thing is that its 2 1/2 hours away from where I live.

Perfecto vibe for this lovely Friday morning. Super cute diner with a little modern take. Food was good but wish there were more budget friendly options, also I would've loved a pancake but there weren't any. Service was great our server let me swap out my sides for a biscuit which was litty. Perfect brekky option come give it a try!!!

mushroom omelette
Caroline B.

this place is pretty good! our service was quick and it was super fun to sit outside. i got the mushroom and spinach omelette with side salad and sourdough bread. which was DELICIOUS! the food here is great. however, the only thing was that there were lots of bugs outside, so it made me freak out a bit haha. but went inside and then it was all better!

Cheesy grits tots
Ally A.

The food was fresh and delicious, and the menu items were unique and varied. I had the smoked turkey sandwich, which came with kettle chips. We also ordered these fried cheesy grits, and they were so good!

The ambiance of the restaurant was amazing! Our server was incredibly nice. The food was good, but unfortunately it did not sit right with me, and I was sick for the rest of the day. I would give it a second chance, but I didn't have the best first experience

This place was NOT it. Beautiful decor wasn't enough to save the experience thanks to the poor service. Food was fine. We got served cold chewy pastries, food was slow to come out, refill for a water was non-existent. The person that sat us had the warmth and welcome of my chewy pastry. But hey decor is definitely on point and food was fine. Not rushing to come back.

Spinach and Mushroom Omelette
Allison W.

Amazing food and experience! The Florida Room is truly a hidden gym. I can't tell you how many times I've driven past this place and thought "hm, I wonder what that is." After 3 years of living in GNV I finally checked it out and I'm so glad I did. The atmosphere is great with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. On top of that, the food is incredible. Highly recommend the omelette. Will be coming back!

Chicken Biscuit
Nicole B.

Elevated casual dining experience with prices that reflected that. Interior was aesthetically pleasing and cute for dressing up and taking photos. Background music was a little louder than my group and I preferred and felt overly stimulating at times. Food was delicious, and the menu had a lot of options for those who favor savory brunch foods such as myself. I saw a variety of pastries like scones and brownies displayed at the counter but didn't get a chance to try them out--looked enticing, though! Loco moco was good but could've come with more gravy and flavor. The fried grits tots were a yummy appetizer but reminded me more of mac and cheese bites in texture and consistency and less like a tot and I was hoping for a better balance if not more tot-focused. Good to try once but don't feel a need to order again. I'd introduce this spot to family and friends visiting town or if I had an occasion to celebrate and wanted to do so with/at brunch.

Avocado toast
Alyssa M.

The ambiance in here is very cute! Definitely a great brunch vibe and cute decorations. The food, however, was subpar and very overpriced. It was tasty, but could have been much better especially for how expensive everything is. The service was good and our waitress was pretty helpful, though the food did take a long time to come out.

Shakshuka Rancheros
Rachel K.

I got the Shakshuka Rancheros. It was pretty good -- eggs were perfect and everything was delicious! The wait time was about 35 minutes when we got there, but we just grabbed coffee elsewhere and came back! The service wasn't quite as welcoming as we expected, but they were busy.

Clean, modern, and full of natural light!…read more Loved the atmosphere of this place. Right off UF's campus. Stopped by for a quick morning coffee and book sesh. 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.

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!

Cute coffee shop! Opus has such a great vibe and open space to chit chat or do some work. The…read morebaristas were also really nice and the coffee was really good. Probably one of the most consistent coffee shops! I also love the fun drink series that they change depending on the locations as well, it's very creative! I'd recommend stopping in if you're in need of coffee.

Real French crêpes to-order, amzing coffee drinks and a real Italian gelato machine that spews out the cold goodness, non-stop!

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!!
