I was told to check out the lavender haze matcha by one of my yelp friends and this drink did not disappoint. I am sad the February speciality drinks are done for the year but this drink definitely will stay on mind. The lavender haze was on the sweet side but I throughly loved the cold foam. I ordered this at the atrium so as always it's fast paced but I'll need to venture back out either to the airstream or innovation square. read more

Opus Coffee - Lavender Haze - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Totally cute little coffee place inside UF Health center lobby atrium area. I needed to get a bold coffee and my daughter got a Matcha drink. They do have various drink specials as well that you can try. A bit pricey for the two drinks but well worth it since it was mom/daughter time! The place is right around the corner from my daughter's apt so that was key when you want coffee -now! read more

The coffee here is not the best, and their hot chocolate was really bad! It's extremely overpriced as well for what you get. It's convenient to have in the medical plaza, but I'm not a big fan of their drinks. The ambiance is fine, it's in a hospital but they did make a nice little area. Service is pretty quick and usually helpful. read more

Up and back to Gainesville and all I got was coffee...at least it was good coffee! Took a quick trip up to see my son and he was at Opus when I got to town. So close to campus. This location offers plenty of comfortable seating and lots of work space to study. The coffee is fresh and there are lots of options. My son had a macha tea and it was good too. Staff was friendly. Just a nice little place to meet and if I was a student, a great place to study! read more

My girl Leon gets my drink right every time and she is so kind. Genuinely this staff is the best, specifically at the location under The Row. I can't put into words how nice, kind, sweet, and welcoming Leon is!!!!! Delaney is also super kind and always in a positive mood. Love this girls, love this coffee, love this place! read more

How to make an Opus Americano "with room": After adding the espresso to the cup, fill the cup to the top with water, then dump a third of the coffee down the drain. I ask for "room" to add a bit of cream, but mostly to make the coffee stronger, but infallibly they dump a couple of ounces. I may as well say an Americano, then just dump some of it. read more

Opus has some of the best service, taste, and consistency of all the coffee shops in gainsville. i love their batch brews and flavored coffees, and for those of you who are cold brew fans they've got you covered! read more

Stopped by yesterday after a doctor's appointment. I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu and the very reasonable cost. The friendly and efficient staff were right there to answer my questions and take my order. My latte was perfect. When you are a kid, you would get a sucker or a balloon after visiting your doctor. Now, as an adult, coffee is a much better reward. read more

Tried Opus for the 1st time today and loved it! I got a medium apple cobbler iced espresso ($5 before tip), really good- not too bitter or sweet. The wait wasn't long and the workers were super nice. I'm excited to go back! read more

Opus Coffee - Large Slay Queen, Medium Apple Cobbler Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

This is honestly my least favorite coffee in Gainesville. Maybe it's just me but I do not like the brew, it's just too sweet. But their seasonal drinks are always very cute and the location is great to study and chat. If I liked the coffee I would come here more often! read more

I'm sad to say I used to enjoy visiting opus when I was in town because the employees made me feel so welcomed. As of recently, I noticed more and more employees leaving because of poor management and in turn, the service and my orders started to suffer. For years, I would see the same happy faces but now I see less and less of them. I can't support a business where they exploit employees. read more

Great local coffee spot! They have several unique coffee drink specials as well as the standards. Grabbed a latte here after Getting a Luke's Bagel. read more

Well it's time for a update. Opus switched from SweetWater coffee and started making their own coffee. All I can say is it's not even close to as good. I typically get coffee from Opus daily. Mostly every day I end up saying "the coffee tastes like dirt", not bad, it just tastes really really earthy. The wonderful flavors of the sweetwater coffee are gone. I can honestly say this will affect how much I drink opus now. $2.25 for a large plain coffee. Not worth it down given the negative changes in the quality of the bean they are using/brewing. read more

Great coffee strong, bold, and full of flavor. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The Opus has many differ alternatives for those seeking to have options to meet their dietary needs. I recommend stoping by to grab a cup South tower or North tower. read more

This coffee shop is inside the UF Health center lobby atrium area. The staff was friendly enough and took care of me quickly. The prices are about average for most coffee shops. They also have some food items. The coffee seams mild compared to Starbucks but what doesn't. Still if you need a coffee hit and you are here waiting for things it is a nice place. read more

Opus is a good place to stop for coffee if you are at Shands or UF. The line usually isn't too bad and the staff is friendly. Plus you can save 25 cents if you have your own mug. They also have a reward program. I believe you get a star for every 60 cents you spend and 100 stars gets you a free drink. I really like their nitro cold brew and recommend you give it a try. read more

Their coffee is decent. They also rotate a flavor everyday so you can try different varieties. I usually get their cappuccino and I find it stronger than Starbucks. They also have a decent tea selections. Even though I like coffees and espressos on the stronger side, I find theirs to be a little too acidic. However, their pastries and the artichoke dip is really good ! I would recommend the pastries more so than the coffee. read more

This little coffee shop is right inside the doors of UF Health, near the front entrance in the Atrium area. The staff members are friendly, helpful, and very efficient - even when there's a big rush of hospital staff and guests that all show up at once. The prices are reasonable, and they have punch cards for frequent customers (buy 10 drinks get 1 free). Also, I prefer the taste of the coffee at Opus to the coffee at Starbucks, so if I'm in the UF Health / Shands complex, that's where I go. The service also tends to be faster at Opus in my experience. However, I believe the Starbucks has longer hours, so just keep that in mind if you are craving caffeine at an odd hour. Also, I mentioned this in my previous Yelp Tip, but I might as well repeat it here just in case it's of interest to anyone: They have vegan and gluten free food options! Obviously the cut fruit cups satisfy that requirement, but some of their oatmeal flavors (for example the Banana Bread) are both vegan and gluten free as well. Score! :) read more

The coffee is great and they have really good customer service. The lines may be long at times but the cashiers move quickly so you really don't have to wait that long for coffee or pastries. I love that it's a locally owned business! If you love coffee, this is the place to go! read more

Great decaf coffee smooth and mellow. Paired with a Carmel pecan bar!!!! It was a great pairing. Staff was very nice

I go to the South Tower Opus almost daily. Staff is pretty friendly, polite, and pretty quick even if there is a mad rush. I enjoy their offerings but my wallet does not. You can get soy milk upon request. Their pastries come from a local bakery and are pretty good, a notch better than Panera I would say but some are pretty expensive for what they are. Note: During holidays (even UF breaks) their hours get wonky and they don't open at 6:30. read more

This little coffee stand is all over the campus and hospital areas! There is one at the north and south side of archer road and theres even one over at the vet school where my dog has been being treated. Never disappointed in everything Ive tried. Sometimes Ill ask for something extra on top of my coffee and they gladly do it. They also have juices, cold drinks, muffins, cookies and can even warm them up for you. Prices are not too bad. Given your usually at a medical place when you get it, it definitely makes the visit a little bearable. They have punch cards for you so if you are there a lot eventually you get a drink for free. All worth it to have these coffee places where they are! read more

I studied for 2 years at the University of Florida near Shands and visited Opus frequently. I enjoyed their coffee more than Starbucks, which was also nearby. They had a wide variety of flavors, and I particularly liked some of their specialty mixes (Irish Maiden). The staff were friendly and remembered our names. The prices are very reasonable, comparable to Starbucks. They have loyalty program (punch cards as mentioned in other reviews). Lastly, their customer service is excellent - I requested a birthday gift card for my friend and, because I was out of town and unable to pick it up, the store manager gave me his personal cell phone and called my friend to make sure she got it. I have all-round great experiences and memories of Opus. read more

Opus is inside UF Health Shands hospital so it's mostly hospital staff and families/patients who visit it. The coffee is delicious though and less expensive than Starbucks. I've also had their muffins (blueberry and pumpkin) and some of the pastries and a fruit cup. Everything is pretty good. They have a lot of grab and go options as well if you're running late for your shift. The staff is usually the same couple people working and they get to know you and your order. They are usually pretty quick despite being busy at peak times (right before and after shift change especially) read more

Was given some ground coffee by a friend last night, and I brewed it this morning. Holy moly -- smells great, full yet smooth and very well-rounded. The first coffee I've actually enjoyed drinking black. The owners and staff seem pretty awesome too. read more

Daily changes in variety of drip coffee so it stays interesting for people who work nearby. I like them all as well as the house blend. Very good cappuccino and espresso drinks too. Wish there was a location in a non-healthcare setting for other times. Great employees too, very friendly and skilled. read more

After working "in the field", training a new team member, it dawned on me, it was coffee o'clock and I was in the hospital, not sure where my next cup would come from, I made a mad dash to the lobby, there wasn't a moment to spare, and lo' and behold, their was a coffee shop in the lobby, I must have missed that on the way in. There was no need to leave the premisses, and I was able to enjoy a very good Latte. The End. read more

I couldn't live without Opus in my life. Great prices, products, and service (most of the time). I miss the old stamp cards though! :)

I drive past Starbucks every morning on my way to work. I get my coffee beans from www.opuscoffee.com and brew my own at home. More economical, better coffee. read more

Great little coffee shop inside the Shands facilities. Great staff! Better than the Starbucks that's here.
