Ordered a hot Café con Leche and a Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin. The coffee was the perfect sweetness and not at all bitter. The muffin was quite large and moist. While there are not too many options for inside seating there are also a few small cafe tables outside along the intersection of the two streets. I would visit again next time I'm in the area, whether that be for coffee, chai, a muffin or a cake pop! read more

I've been to Foxtail a couple times now and just love this place! They offer such a wide variety of coffees and teas, with just about every milk or add in you could think of. Not to mention, their food isn't too bad either. The interior is super cute with the best vibes. The service is always on point and I have found the staff to be very helpful. It is also kept clean, which I appreciate. Foxtail makes for an excellent study spot too, very good environment! As for their menu items I've tried, I have had nothing but good experiences. Their cold brew is definitely one of the best, creamiest cold brews I've ever had. It almost doesn't need milk it is so smooth with such a good flavor profile. I would highly recommend trying this if you are into cold coffees. I still need to try some of their syrups, but I am most intrigued by their sugar free cold foams. For the food, I've really enjoyed their croissants. Surprisingly fresh, buttery, and flakey, they won't disappoint. And heated up, game changer!! The chocolate one is super tasty and pairs perfectly with a coffee. All in all, I think Foxtail is a wonderful coffee shop in Gainesville. I'm so happy they opened one in midtown as I will definitely be frequented it more. Cannot wait to explore more of the menu! read more

This foxtail is the BEST FOXTAIL ever. and NOT because of the drinks but because of the SERVICE. the Women who work here are sooo sweet and so smiley. they always make my day first thing in the morning, the manager is fantastic and every person here is so kind. read more

It was my first time visiting Foxtail. There's not much seating but I love the ambience. I got the vanilla cold brew with the cold foam. The service was quick and I give a 4/5 since the cold brew was a little bit watered down. Overall good experience. read more

Had an impromptu roadtrip to Gville and stopped for an iced lavender matcha latte & a chocolate croissant which I ate while walking and totally didn't take a picture of, whoops! Both were great! I love the Magnolia market like theme, who doesn't love subway time with black accents. I was shocked they had lavender and matcha as most cafes don't. Even Starbucks doesn't have lavender year round. They use Monin syrups which are my personal favorite. Service was friendly and quick. read more

Popular coffee spot in town. Went there like middle of the day and there is a line. That is a good sign! Choose a seasonal drink, pretty tasty I never had them before. Pretty decent drinks and snack menu for a coffee place. Good location in middle Buttler's stores, restaurants, boutiques and there's the whole food market close by too. Small but got some seatings with WiFi And plenty charge stations. Definitely a casual ambience. read more

Overall good! Cute little coffee shop with a decent drink menu. Highly recommend ordering on the app, where you can see the full menu and customizations. Good place to bring your laptop and sit outside. The downside is that it's overpriced. A small cappuccino with nondairy will run you $7+. Price and menu-wise, it's pretty similar to Starbucks. The Gainesville location can get pretty busy and doesn't have a drive thru. If you arrive after 9am on a busier weekday morning you may not find a seat. read more

Had a sign on the door saying they were closing at 6pm, but locked the doors at 5:40pm. Why lock the doors when you are still open and there are people inside? Terrible communication and terrible management. read more

I normally don't complain but the sign says opens at 7am. It's disappointing when I arrive at 7:04 and the door is locked. On top of that the stagf seemed to ignore i was outside. With several options around i don't know if I would return. read more

Rude rude rude! Whoever is taking orders this morning at the front is extremely unhappy with her job. My husband left feeling like completely inconvenienced her by ordering a plain coffee and cappuccino. In addition that would be ok if the coffee actually was good. Tastes very bitter and the cappuccino had zero foam. I would not recommend this at all for the price. read more

Cute little coffee shop near other shops. I got a drink they had posted on their Instagram for the summer, which supposedly to be a sprt of layered drink but this didn't loom the same. It tasted ok, they are similar in proce to places like Starbucks. Nice staff, would come back to try some different non-coffee drinks. read more

Butler Plaza Foxtail coffee Poor experience I was at your Butler Plaza location a week ago 1/10/26. I ordered a latte with pistachio syrup and mocha drizzle iced. When I received my drink from the young man, I noticed that there was no mocha in the drink. When I mention it to the young lady who took my order, Lacy stated oh yeah, we're all out of mocha, then proceeded to take the next person's order. At no time did she try to correct my order or ask me whether or not I would like something different. I was also not given the reward points because she said oh well you were supposed to show your reward scan before you show me your pay scan. I told her I assume that it worked like Starbucks and I will get my reward points by using the gift card on my app. We also ordered 2 honey hazelnut lattes and they were also poorly made. I've never had such poor customer service at a Foxtail location. My daughter had a bad experience with Lacy before. We thought maybe she was having a bad day the first time. Now I'm thinking she is just a poor representative of your company. I will Not be going again. 1/10/26 @ 6pm was the date you had no mocha drizzle. I'm going to stick with your other Gainesville location. I hope this message makes it to management . very clean nice area for shopping read more

I stopped by on a slow Sunday morning to grab a bite to eat and a nice coffee. I was impressed with the nice look and feel of this coffee shop. It's got a very nice rustic vibe. Unfortunately the service experience I had wasn't as good as many other coffee shops. I waited at the counter for what seemed like forever to order. The two ladies behind the court we seemed preoccupied and didn't acknowledge or greet me, even when they were finally ready to take my order. Once I ordered, the sandwich I got was very evidently microwaved and not especially good. Soggy and chewy. The flat white I ordered was lukewarm, but the espresso tasted good. There were a few things I would ask the staff to do which would make the experience a little nicer. Play some music to complete the nice ambiance the place has, and look at the small details like adding a trash can at the coffee prep station, or a simple greeting at the door or counter. Overall, it was fine, just not good. read more

I was recently in Gainesville and looking for a spot for some breakfast, coffee, and to get a little work accomplished. Foxtail Coffee Co to the rescue! I came here mid-morning on a weekday. They have your standard coffee shop menu (mochas, lattes, cappuccinos) as well as a few seasonal specialty coffees. I opted for the holiday cookie latte from the seasonal coffee menu, which is made with cookie butter and vanilla. They have milk alternatives, so I was able to get it made with almond milk. It was good, though I found the espresso a skosh more bitter than I typically prefer. For my breakfast, I was happy to see that they had options beyond the sweet treats in their bakery case (which all looked lovely, I just happen to prefer savory eats in the morning). I opted for their turkey sausage, egg, and cheese bagel. I think they make them in a panini press and it was hot and tasty. I appreciated sausage options beyond pork! Their space is small but squeaky clean. They have bar seating looking out the front window, a few tables inside, and outdoor seating as well. I was able to snag a spot at an indoor table and get some work done while I sipped. The service was absolutely lovely and the prices were reasonable. Get to it! read more

Stopped in for an afternoon coffee. The inside is small and all the seats were filled with people working on their computer or catching up with friends. The space is very well decorated. The cold brew was one of the best I've had! Not acidic at all, super smooth and yummy. The coffee came out fast, they also had some pastries but we didn't try any this time. Will be back again! read more

Every time I've gotten coffee here it has been made well and quickly. I have tried a few of their fall/winter specials, most recently a peppermint mocha, and I'll say it didn't quite match up to the standard competitor's peppermint mocha sadly. That being said, it's nice to have a coffee shop in Butler plaza when you are walking around on the weekends. Hope it gets enough traffic to make it! read more

Got the Iced Chai Latte with Pumpkin Cold Foam and it was soo creamy and smooth. As a big fan of chai, this would be a solid choice for a go-to drink. The 2 kings behind the counter were friendly and quick to finish our drinks. Inside, there are few seats in this cozy space. Definitely an inviting environment to study/work. There's more seating with small round tables outside, some of it shaded. read more

Life is too short for bad coffee. I get it. Starbucks has trained people to drink burned coffee. There is another way. But not here. It's copying the bitter, unpleasant taste of the green awning. I like more taste, smooth flavors, delicious from first sip to last. This coffee just got stale. Sorry Foxtail. I'm not a fan. read more

Small place, quick service, great coffee! Wifi available to sit inside or outside and get some work done on your laptop! I love that their is to-go parking which is usually open to pop in quickly for that morning coffee... 10/10 read more

Excellent coffee! I dropped in here to grab an afternoon pick me up and I'm glad I did. I ordered the on-tap cold brew with vanilla and caramel already added in. With a bit of cream, it was delicious. The coffee was smooth and a medium roast. The transaction was quick and the workers were efficient. The shop is rather small, but there is plenty of outside seating. read more

really love this one too. It's a smaller shop. It does have seating mostly facing the windows but again it's smaller and if you don't get there early I'm pretty sure it fills up. They do have outdoor seating but it is hot outside at this time. They have a large variety of coffees and food/pastries. Service is fast and I really loved their lavender vanilla latte which had great flavor. Prices are good. There is free parking as well. Located in an eye shopping area where you can go around after you get coffee and walk around. Overall I would recommend it, my only downside of it is just that it's not super spacious inside but if you just want to grab some coffee and a snack, it's a wonderful place to go. read more

On Sunday October 27th around 11:15 am, my friends and I visited the Foxtail in Gainesville next to Aerie and had a horrible experience for multiple reasons. When we arrived the line was relatively long and the employees working were only focused on online orders for about 30 minutes. Also, during this time we saw that one of the female employees was talking to a group of about 4 people asking them what they wanted to drink and "what milk/flavor" they wanted today. This group did not pay for their orders nor did they have mobile orders. Not only that but that same employee was handing equipment to this group of people to make/mix their own drinks. This group was also reaching over the counter to move around things and grab the flavor pumps. Not only did this employee pause the flow of the store but allowing outside personnel to touch the equipment is unsanitary and completely unprofessional. Due to this predicament, we ended up leaving the store at around 12:15 pm. Coffee service should NOT take that long. And after all of that, one of our drinks was incorrect and when asked to fix it she was incredibly rude and ended up making it wrong again so we just left with the second wrong coffee. I would advise, if you have a camera at this establishment, to check the day and time I mentioned (between 11:15 am - 12:15 pm). I'm hoping something can be done about this and I hope to hear back with a resolution. read more

Foxtail is okay! The quality of drinks depends on how busy they are. The baristas also have the worst attitude, I've been a barista for like 8 years... I get it......... but to be in a bad mood every shift you're working is actually a problem, maybe consider another field read more

Wow Aesthetics are amazing, this coffee shop is modern, but rustic as well I absolutely loved it. I mean if you're gonna pay $5 for coffee anyway might as well do it at a place that you can feel comfortable and cool. I have loved their coffee before and im happy they're in Gainesville definitely if you're in Butler wanting coffee choose these guys over Starbucks no competition. The ice cafe con leche was delicious. read more

Foxtail Coffee Co. is a franchise I've personally enjoyed since discovering it in Orlando. They offer a wide variety of coffee brewed in different ways as well as loose leaf teas. Tucked away in the new butler plaza behind Cheese Cake Factory, it is a nice place to work on a laptop and be productive if you want a change of scenery. The aesthetic and ambiance is similar to most coffee shops with a mix of modern and rustic. There's small splashes of foxes imprinted around the cafe. I usually am not adventurous when it comes to coffee. I get latte with oat milk and a splash of mocha. One of the downsides about this place is the size of the location. I thought it would be bigger, but the capacity they can hold is about 22. Realistically two tables and a row of tabletops that are more so geared towards socializing than being productive. Regardless, I believe it's nice to add a staple to the coffee scene in a prime location for years to come. read more

Tried this place in Orlando before it came to Gainesville and it's so yummy! I had the iced chai latte and it was incredible! I mean whoever made the drink, understood the assignment! I hate the inside is super small because the one I went to in Orlando was nice and spacious but nevertheless it was a beautiful day in Gainesville so we drank our drinks and walked around the area! Makes me happy that Gainesville is continuing to grow! I love it coming from a big city and being a big city girl, I'm here for the growth! You want to try something other than Starbucks, Go here!! I actually prefer more local coffees and local coffee spots better than Starbucks anyway! Great way to try new places and experience new things! read more

I have been a fan of foxtail since a friend introduced me to it a few years ago in Orlando. Now anytime I am somewhere where they have one I stop by for a guaranteed good coffee. I was pleasantly surprised to find one in Gainsville. This was a great location small indoor seating area but had more options outside. Service was friendly and most important my coffee was excellent. read more

I saved my opinion for this place until I has gone a few times: First the good: - Gainesville needs good, non-Starbucks, coffee shop options. I was excited to see them open. I love getting coffee and snacks and bringing my laptop to do some work. It's in a great area and I am happy to see more shops opening over here. - The coffee was really good and so was the quiche. All 3 times I visited, I got the cafe con leche and the jalapeño bacon quiche. - There are outlets everywhere on the tables so power is never an issue - The decor is really nice and modern. Now the "not-good": Size: It's pretty small. Inside, there are about 10 seats. I wish this place was 4 times this size. They would make a killing. I came to do work one day and left without purchasing anything since there were no seats. They added more seating outside, but I get hot after a while and the sun makes a glare on my screen. Price Point: I paid $14 for my large cafe con leche and quiche each time. My wallet let out a small scream but I asked it to be quiet since people were working . Burned Quiche: Today, I got a quiche (pictured in the review) and it was burned. I pointed it out to the barista and he literally threw his hands up and said he couldn't do anything about it because it gets cooked at a set temperature. He didn't offer any substitution or a solution. If this were my shop, I wouldn't want someone with this type of disposition representing my shop. This quiche is too expensive to be burned and nothing done about it. I'll probably still come back but I will keep my orders to beverages only that can't be burned. read more

As the coffee scene continues to evolve and expand in Gainesville, I'm glad that Foxtail decided to come all the way from Orlando to set up shop in Gainesville. The aesthetics of the shop are excellent, with a good balance of modern and hip with a cozy and personal feel. I definitely agree, the space is cramped through. When it's busy, there's pretty much no seating inside. However, being located in Butler Plaza, there's plenty of outdoor spots for sitting around and chatting if you grab that coffee to go. The coffee itself, while a bit pricy, is of good quality. I got the Nitro Cold Brew and it was cold and refreshing with that signature lightness from the nitro charge and the fruity and rounded bitter notes that are present in dark roast coffee. Overall, I'm happy for the space and the addition in Gainesville. They definitely bring a more unique menu than you will ever find at a Starbucks :) read more

At last, my favorite coffee place in Orlando is finally open in Gainesville! If there is Buddy Brew in Tampa, there is Foxtail coffee in Orlando! I love their industrial interiors and their coffee is much better than Starbucks or Dunkin. In my opinion, along with Opus, this place is now one of the best coffee places in Gainesville! Though the store is not as large as the one in Orlando, I am very happy that we have Foxtail! Thank you for coming to Gainesville and improving our coffee quality! read more
