    Rode in completely clueless it was so quiet and empty at first we thought it was closed and there was no huge traditional menu ....thank god they weren't and Gavin swept in and gave me a menu. when you pull up there is a specials menu from the baristas on the window as well . There are several options for breakfast like burritos and biscuits He gave us the donut options which were Boston cream cheesecake and original Boston cream . The donuts were huge and so fresh and delicious . We got our coffee in a matter of minutes (so fast) and it was amazing I got the Venessa and let's just say she is a genius barista (girl knows what she's doing ) 10/10 service from Gavin super sweet ! Found me a new favorite .

    I had a really disappointing experience at this coffee shop today, all because of one incredibly rude employee. The girl that helped me was wearing a blue shirt, had curly hair, and white nails. From the moment I drove up, her attitude was cold and dismissive. She barely looked at me, acted like taking my order was a huge inconvenience, and spoke to me with an unnecessarily rude tone. When I asked a simple question about the menu, she rolled her eyes and gave a short, snappy response like I was bothering her. Customer service clearly isn't a priority for her, and it really ruined the atmosphere of the place. If the management cares at all about the experience customers have, they need to seriously reconsider who they have working in the drive through. I won't be coming back if that's the kind of service I can expect.

    Blended pipeline

    My husband and I visit Ocala regularly, and when we saw that OLA opened up, we decided to give it a try. The location is a cute black and white building with a wave painted around the bottom of it. It's a drive through only business, which is quick and convenient, except there was no menu board, so we had to look at the menu online. That was inconvenient and odd. The service was quick and friendly though. It was disappointing to see that the only food options were granola and muffins. My husband ordered an iced OLA and I got a blended Pipeline. The OLA was strong and bold while the Pipeline was sweet and smooth. Both drinks were good, but I think that the Pipeline was overly sweet. I think between the lack of food options and not having a menu board, we probably won't come back. Rating from F to A +++, it gets a B-.

    Really $5 for Large cup of ice? not worth it for a boring Iced Chai Latte.... needs flavor.

    It was after the lunch rush and drove up not busy at all. Full friendly service. Asked for an Iced Chai Latte and got a full cup of ice. The drink was ok and kind of bland. Bought a snickerdoodle cooke for $3. Thought that was a pretty good value as it was huge. My cousin Mandi raves about this place so I decide to try ti out since I was thirsty and driving by. Tasted the drink and bleh. it did not have any flavor. Iced chai Latte has been my drink for over 2 decades; this is one of the worst I have consumed. So I said the cookie looks great. Opened it and it seemed like it belonged at a nursing home as it had very little flavor. I kick my self for not trying a muffin or different cookie. I dont drink coffee only Iced chai lattes. My wife (who does not cook or bake) made me a snickerdoodle cake from the box and that was better than this cookie. I consumed the Latte and almost stopped at Dukin down the street on 441 to get a better Iced Chai Latte. But my son had just got off work and was tired. He did not order anything. (he was lucky). Maybe the drink mixer was distracted and got the ratio wrong. SO $9.95 later I got 1/3 of a drink that was bland and a cookie that almost went in the trash. Someone forgot to add cinnamon to that batch of cookies. It made me feel like an older person with no taste buds. I enjoy the chai Lattes from Wawa and Dunkin' but I prefer to support small businesses as I am a business owner but if the quality is not there I can not waste my $$$. I do not buy Lattes every day, maybe once a week so I like them to be pretty good so I can return over and over. I will drive 1 hour to Mt Dora for good take home pizza so if the Latte is worth it I do not mind waiting or to get it. Wawa has plain, chocolate and vanilla so I like to go there and get rewards too. The only reason I gave a 2 star is the customer service was friendly and fast. if they did not care when serving me then it would have been 1 star. I might try again next year but not in 2024.

    Best coffee when you get the right barista. Hope there will be more locations in Ocala / Silver Springs.

    We had been wanting to try this place since moving here. It's less than a mile from our house, and…read morethe Google photos made it look incredible. Smoothies, açaí bowls, premade meals, the whole package. I walked in with expectations, which was my first mistake. The ordering area is extremely small. There's barely enough space to stand, let alone browse or get oriented. Instead of overhead menus, you're expected to quickly flip through laminated menus kept in bins, mark your order on a sheet with a marker, and hand it to the cashier. There are no visible menus for the premade meals at all. The setup feels rushed and unintuitive, especially for first-time customers. There is virtually no seating. The few available seats were occupied by employees during our visit, which made the space feel even less welcoming. Another customer walked in while we were there and appeared just as confused about how to order, and unfortunately didn't receive much guidance. Functionality-wise, I'd rate the experience a 2/10. The space is overwhelming, poorly laid out, and not customer-friendly unless you already know the system. The food itself was good. The açaí bowl was a 7/10, but because ordering felt stressful, I didn't customize it and ordered it as-is, which I now regret. This café seems best suited for people who already frequent the gym next door and are familiar with the process. For anyone new, busy, or just stopping in casually, it's not an easy or comfortable experience. I truly wanted to love this place, and there's potential here, but the layout, lack of clear menus, and overall flow work against it.

The coffee is great and they have non dairy friendly options. The smoothie bowls are delicious and you can get really any combination you're looking for. Being attached to a fitness facility, they also have supplements, shirts, healthy meal prep, smoothies, etc. The staff/owners are wonderful. Not a great place to sit and work just as a heads up. There aren't really any outlets and only a few tables, but that's fine! Don't think thats the crowd they're catering to anyway. I will definitely stop by when I'm here visiting family or for work.

    Walking into Earth Origins in Ocala feels less like entering a grocery store and more like stepping…read moreback into my childhood. Long before Whole Foods existed... before wellness influencers... before every grocery store suddenly discovered "organic"... my parents owned health food stores in California and New York during the 1970s and 80s, back when most Americans barely understood what a health food store was. I grew up carrying whole wheat, avocado, mayo and sprout sandwiches in my lunchbox when other kids had processed snacks and white bread. My mother was giving health and nutritional talks decades ago and still does to this day. The funny part is the kids at school loved my avocado sprout sandwiches so much that they would trade me their Twinkies for them. Twinkies were absolutely a no-no in our household, which of course made them feel like pure treasure whenever I could get my hands on one... even though I knew they were terrible for me. Healthy living wasn't a trend in our household. It was simply the way we lived. And contrary to what people think now, this knowledge is not new. Ancient cultures understood the connection between food, health, longevity and lifestyle long before modern America rediscovered it and turned it into branding. Tibet is a perfect example. Entire cultures have understood preventative wellness and intentional living for centuries. Back then, health food stores were different. They were deeply personal places. Independent. Passion-driven. Families built them around education, community, and a genuine belief in helping people live healthier lives. Then the industry began to change. During the 1980s and 90s, large corporations started buying up independent health food stores across America. Chains like GNC expanded aggressively through acquisitions, converting many small family-owned stores into standardized retail locations. In fact, GNC actually bought one of my parents' stores years ago and turned it into a GNC. Later, companies like Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, and major investment groups helped transform what had once been deeply local, community-driven businesses into national chains built around scale, branding, and mass-market wellness. That's why Earth Origins still feels special to me. It still carries echoes of the old Mother Earth health food store that once existed here in Ocala. The scent in the air... the supplement aisles... the atmosphere... even the energy of the store instantly brought me back to childhood memories of standing inside my parents' stores decades ago. There's something comforting about walking into a place that still feels connected to the original spirit of the health food movement before it became mainstream. For me, Earth Origins doesn't just feel like shopping. It feels like home.

    I was meaning to stop here for months after moving to the area and finally made myself go during an…read moreerrand run. I have been here several times over the years. I have shopped here so specific items and also just to browse. Since we do not have a Whole Foods or Fresh Market, and Sprouts is on the other side of town, Earth Origins is the next best thing. I have been exploring plant based products for the last couple of years and attempting the more holistic route so Earth Origins definitely assists with that. I will say, the prices are astronomical for many products but reasonable for other products. The produce department is super small, with only organic options, and not many options for vegetables or fruits. They have a small salad bar, which is measured by the pound. There is also a hot soup bar, with I think 2 options but they close that early-maybe around 5pm? There is also a deli/ seafood/ sushi counter where you can purchase a la carte items, with premade options already packaged for grab and go. They also have ramen you can order! Next is a bulk area with a huge selection of nuts, coffee, seeds, legumes, snacks, etc. I finally purchased some during my last visit. I was a little slow in figuring it out. You put the items in a bag, then tie it with a wire tag, then write the UPC code # on the tag so the cashier can type it in. There is also fresh nut butters and honey and pastries in the same area. There are aisles of dry goods, supplements, vitamins, personal care, snacks, beverages, and treats. There is also a small wine section, with a lot of local wines. Lined up against the back of the store and the last aisle are refrigerated and freezer items. I always purchase items in the area! If you join their membership, you receive special deals daily. If you bring your own bags, you receive a 5 cent discount.
