    Burrito
    Jessica L.

    This little spot turned out to be awesome! I went with a small group of 4 and we wanted some breakfast/ brunch. If you're looking for a cute spot, you should check it out! There is a Mexican twist to it. Great for small or large groups. They make food fresh so be patient cause it worth it! We ordered a burrito, chilaquiles plate, huevos a la Mexicana breakfast plate, huevos con chorizo breakfast plate, 2 Mazapan lattes, and 2 chocolate abuelitas. Everything was good! I actually ordered the tres leches latte but I didn't like the taste of it and let the server know. They were so nice about it and made the mazapan latte per request instead. Service was great! If I'm in town, I'd definitely be back to this quaint spot. Go check it out! Till then, let's eat!

    The waffle and eggs  breakfast was great.

    Very nice little hole in the wall cafe with great tasting food and a friendly server. My only to suggestions would be to not use plastic utensils from a to go type package and spruce up the dining area a bit. Both of these minor inconveniences can be overlooked by the tasty food and very friendly staff. I will definitely be back! Try the tres leches latte, it's amazing.

    Highly recommend the chilaquiles de pollo. It's a fairly hefty plate, but if you're looking for a hearty brunch item, these are perfect. Cozy little spot, kind of hidden, but still super cute. The waitress was so sweet and you can tell they make their food with love. Oh btw their coffee is amazing! I got a latte when I went

    This is our second visit to Kairos Cafe and we enjoyed both. The food is fresh, cooked to order and flavorful. The cinnamon french toast with berries is exceptional! Superior latte and chicken fajita omelette. The huevos rancheros my husband had on our earlier visit was good too. Overall highly recommend this as a great place for brunch.

    I had never heard of this place, and now I am sad I didn't know sooner. This is a cafe with a Mexican twist, very fitting for the area. They also have a very extensive menu including sandwiches, croissants, bagels, omelets, chilaquiles!!, waffles, frappe's, pancakes, you name it! I ordered the : Marzipan frappe- This is mixed with marzipan and peanut butter and coffee, frozen. It is so tasty. Great texture and flavor. Breakfast sandwich- I got turkey instead of ham, with tomato/lettuce/Mayo. This sandwich also has a layer of refried beans. It is a huge sandwich and fantastic for the price. Obsessed. ¡Ay chihuahua! - Breakfast burrito filled with eggs and chorizo, side potatoes, and waffle. All for 10.99????? Amazing deal. The young man that took my order at the front was also extremely helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. I would come back just for this young man's service. I will be back, and everyone please give some business to this cute spot tucked off of atlanta Highway

    My find of the weekend is in my own town of Gainesville with @kairoscafega !! The flavors.... the menu.... the team running this place.... it all gets a 10 out of 10 in my book! The only downside is that it is located in a tight spot so parking may be tough and the wait is sometimes pretty long because unless you get there early before the rush, you'll find yourself in a long wait time. I did notice a lot of foot traffic coming in and out with TO GO orders so you do have that option!! You'll find the mom in the back making amazing food and the son running the shop up front with all the orders and serving their guests, they are great and make you feel very welcomed. Pictured here: BARBACOA CROISSANT - I don't say this lightly... this is probably the best tasting croissant I've had to date. The barbacoa was seasoned to perfection and the croissant didn't fall apart CHILAQUILES WITH CARNITAS - Chilaquiles is a Mexican breakfast dish that has tortilla chips as its base along with rice, beans and whatever protein you choose. In this case, carnitas!! And let me tell ya, these carnitas were so tender and perfectly cooked. This was definitely a favorite along with their salsa verde because their tortillas were excellent BREAKFAST SANDWICH - Just know this isn't your typical breakfast sandwich. Sunny side up eggs, ham, avocado, cheese, refried beans with a perfect baguette like bread... toasted and very hearty WAFFLES & POTATOES - I had to order a waffle and potatoes to see if they were solid... Yes, the answer is YES CHOCOLATE ABUELITA (HOT CHOCOLATE) & COLD CHAI TEA - Both get a thumbs up but if I had to order again, I'd order both again #rolieats #goodeats #goodfood #weekendfind #gainesville #kairoscafe #breakfast #croassant #barbacoa #chilaquiles #carnitas #breakfastsandwich #waffles #potatoes #hotchocolate #chaitea #illbeback #keepitlocal #supportlocalbusiness

    Hands down the best coffee and breakfast spot in Gainesville!…read more We've lived in Gainesville for a while and have tried all the new coffee shops that have popped up around the Square recently. While the new spots are fine, we decided to revisit Inman today. In my opinion, they're still the best coffee shop in town. First, the coffee quality is on another level. You can really taste the pride they take in selecting their beans. I ordered the "Fresh Start" latte with coconut milk, and it was easily the best latte I've had in Gainesville. They have the most impressive selection of non-dairy options I've seen. Most places only carry oat or almond, so finding coconut milk was a huge win for me. They also have a massive coffee menu with specialty items I haven't seen elsewhere, like a Breve! My husband got an iced mocha and a panini and absolutely loved both. Second, the food menu is incredible, especially if you have dietary restrictions. I have gluten and dairy sensitivities, and usually, my options are limited. Inman has the biggest gluten-free menu in the area--GF muffins, brownies, and actual GF bread options. I got the avocado toast on gluten-free bread topped with scrambled eggs. The bread was delicious (not cardboard-like at all!), the avocado was fresh, and the eggs were perfect. If you've been distracted by the newer shops, do yourself a favor and go back to Inman. Between the extensive menu, the high-quality coffee, and the dietary options, they are beating the competition by a mile.

    1 thing i don't like is when places don't give out recommendations, specially if you can tell im…read morenot a regular. Anyway, cute lil corner spot. Never really feel welcomed but its whatever, i only come here when i dont have time to drive to a GOOD coffee shop.

My last visit I asked for a caramel macchiato with extra caramel drizzle. I did not get extra caramel drizzle but instead 4 large pumps of caramel were loaded into my small tall coffee. I am a former barista. There should not be any pumps of caramel in this drink. Only pumps of vanilla, steamed milk, then layered espresso with the caramel. My drink is so sweet I can barely drink it. This is a caramel latte. Please train your baristas the difference.

I have no intention of being rude, and I apologize in advance if any of the following comes off that way. I intend to be fully objective, as experiences like these do not bother me emotionally, save for mild disappointment. I pulled into the drive-thru with a mobile order (a Venti iced coffee w/ cream and brown sugar, an Egg, Pesto, & Mozzarella, and a chocolate croissant) placed roughly five minutes prior around 9:00 PM. I expected to wait for a minute or two, since the estimated wait time was anywhere between four and seven minutes. However, I ended up waiting in the car line for roughly ten minutes before making it to the window, and the reason why was obvious when I did. I wish I could say that they were only running behind because they were busy with in-store orders, but from what I could see, the customer areas were mostly empty. When I finally pulled up to the window, a few baristas were simply standing there in front of the espresso machines and socializing with one another. Yes, it is important to get along with your coworkers, especially in such a high-pressure workplace, but when you have a queue of so many orders to fulfill, socializing should not be the priority in that moment. One barista finally opened the window and politely informed me that they were out of brown sugar, so I asked for vanilla instead. They were happy to oblige. I then waited another ten minutes before receiving my order. Both food items were cold, and the iced coffee was warm and tasted watered down. This experience evidence of little to no beverage sequencing and no Customer Support Cycle, as well as, more broadly, a lack of understanding of and/or care for the "Starbucks experience." I'm no manager, not even a shift lead, but I can tell these baristas, however pleasant they were, are not following their training to the best of their abilities. I hope someone there sees this and thinks of it as a learning experience, though I know I don't often look at reviews for my own location. Regardless, it is important to hold each other accountable.
