Cute coffee shop! Opus has such a great vibe and open space to chit chat or do some work. The baristas 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. read more

Opus Coffee - Innovation Square - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

My first time visiting Opus and I absolutely understand the raving reviews and recommendations. I was in town for a vintage market across the street and after talking to many locals, all of them recommended Opus. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the matcha. It was bitter and not mixed well into the milk. The matcha powder separated. read more

Overall: I hesitated coming here bc of parking but I am glad I finally did! Come through! 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! read more

Ever since Opus opened at Shands, I've loved them! The hot and iced teas are amazing. Great matcha latte. Pastries. And this location has to-go food (salads, wraps) from Fehrenbacher's down the street. Friendly service. read more

Such a fantastic coffee shop in the Downtown area! Love the mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Really lets you take advantage of perfect weather outdoors. The people working here are super friendly and helpful, and they give some great suggestions if you're having a hard time deciding what drink you want. The Nitro Cold Brew is really excellent. Silky smooth, it has deep flavors that makes for both a refreshing drink and one that gives you a nice boost of energy to wake you up. This may be my go to coffee shop in the area in the future. Excellent job! :) read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in Gainesville! They have a great selection of drinks as well as food, and a good amount of study space. There are not that many outlets though, so that is something to keep in mind if you need to stay for a while. My go-to drink is their horchata latte- so so good especially if you like cinnamon. I've also had their latte w/ raspberry syrup, which was quite refreshing. I've had a couple of their matcha drinks as well. I've only had the food once- I got a chicken pesto sandwich and it was very filling. For sure will be going again soon read more

I've had the pleasure of drinking a fair share of Opus coffee and boy is it delicious! This location is aesthetically pleasing. Modern, calm, and clean if I were still in school I would study here for sure over Starbucks. They offer some pastries, canned beverages, and even sandwiches. I haven't dissatisfied with anything here. The service has always been great to me and I put this up there in my top 5 coffee shops in Gainesville. read more

While coming back to Tampa from Savannah we were feeling hungry and decided to try coffee from opus coffee. The opus coffee is a coffee shop at the campus and it was packed with students when we went. We ordered Iced Mocha Coffee and it was amazing. The service was also fast and friendly staff with positive vibes. read more

Usually super quick service especially for online orders! Food is good here as well I had a chicken sandwich that was warm and delicious. There is not as much seating as you would think so during exam season it gets packed. read more

Great place to stop for coffee. Service was wonderful and fast. They have indoor and outdoor seating. This place gets pretty full so come early or you might not find a seat. Id say it's quiet when I was there as most students were studying. I'd love to come back and try more of there menu as they seem to have a lot of drink options. read more

My favorite coffeeshop in the Gainesville Area! OPUS is my go-to study spot. It has an open and inviting ambience and offers a variety of drinks. There are inside and outside seating options, and you are also allowed to bring your four-legged friends inside. Thirsty? They offer coffee, tea, hot chocolate, beer, and wine. Hungry? You have an array of options from bakery items to pre-packaged salads. My point? OPUS has everything you need. I shamelessly admit that I spend 11 hours at OPUS at times. It is my second home. My favorite drink order is the iced AC Slayter; I highly recommend that you try it. It comes with two espresso shots to get you started for the day. I also recommend that you try their fig and brie sandwich. TIP for students: If you are going to OPUS to study, try to arrive as early as you can to find seating. It will become busy around noontime and your chances of finding a spot will be extremely slim. Also, some tables are not located near outlets, so make sure your laptop is fully charged if you are planning on staying there for a while. Lastly, and more importantly, bring noise-blocking headphones. Parking can be a hassle depending on when you arrive. Per City of Gainesville regulations, you are limited to only two hours of paid parking. You also must pay immediately after you park regardless of whether you are there for five minutes or two hours, or the parking guy (my arch nemesis) will penalize you. He is a well-know persona among OPUS patrons. Okay, I'll stop. Now go try OPUS. read more

By far the most incredible coffee I have ever had in Florida!! I even had to go back for another cup before I hit the road back home. The ambiance in there is great for meeting friends or studying. The coffee does not disappoint! read more

Coffee slaps. Would come again. Great staff and plenty of space to grind out some work or study. Highly recommended.

Coffee was immaculate. The brewistas were fantastic, however the cashier did not give two shits about what I wanted to order. I came on a weekend with two friends, and of course we order individually, because Dutch-style on a college budget. I had to raise my voice while repeating my order multiple times. The girl batted her eye at me every time she asked "What did you want?". At first I thought I was a little crazy for thinking "Wow, did I not vocalize my order audible for the cashier? I'm such a terrible customer ;-; ", but then to my dismay my friends ordered their drinks and came to me and asked "Bro, you were so loud when ordering, I think everyone at the window bar glanced at you at least once.". Docking two stars off because I'm pretty sure the cashier was just treating me differently compared to the small line of people that were ready to order their coffees before AND after me. read more

Cons first: Music is too loud in here you have to SHOUT to be heard which makes everyone here have to shout. A very loud environment. Might as well pull a Feynman and study at a club lol. Chai was subpar for the price and did not have the ingredients made the way it was told to me (it was hot water full of caramel sugar with barely a hint of the tea and no creamy taste from the milk. Did not taste like chai at all and I'm sorely disappointed for the price on a student budget so won't be ordering chai again). Knocked off a star for that. Pros: roomy, super cute place, friendly staff(very nice), very quick service, my friend did like her food and her iced coffee a lot(so def a coffee place haha she got the horchata one). Chairs at the lower table aren't bad at all I can study here for awhile which is super nice. Overall a good place just not the best for chai or for practicing math problems with a study buddy for talking lol. And bring headphones that help cut out noise. A nice spot to come back to. read more

I stopped at this location to get a coffee while i was in town and the area is nice, along with the coffee being good, the barista was even better. if you want to drink a cup of coffee that tastes like the gods made it ask for mckenna. Mckenna was rich in coffee knowledge and made a great impression on me and i will definitely be back to this location. 10/10 read more

My favorite Opus location hands down. They have this crazy coffee menu with some very unique drinks that I always select from. It's a great place to study also. (When there's a table available). But my favorite thing is showing up in the afternoon for First Magnitude beer on tap. read more

We went in with high expectations but were greatly disappointed. The matcha latte was basically hot milk with green food coloring with no hint of vanilla at all and the macchiato tasted like water. Extremely overpriced for what we got. read more

Great example of reinventing the wheel without going too far. If you like coffee already, you'll love Opus. Anything from no frills americanos to lattes to specialty drinks with unexpected ingredients. Did I mention they serve tea and beer too? This place is always BUSTLING tho so get ready to arm wrestle for a seat somewhere. read more

Opus Coffee - Innovation Square - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

This is certainly a good coffee shop and I've enjoyed many drinks from hot teas to nitro coffees. The A.C. Slayter (with horchata rice milk) is an absolute favorite as well as their "dirty" iced chai. The negative things about this shop (and why I give it 3-stars) is that it lacks outlets around the majority of the tables and they do not have consistent wifi access... so if you would like to work here for an extended period of time (and enjoy a few cups of joe), then make sure your laptop is supercharged and you have a phone hotspot. There are outlets along the bar-top, but it's not the most comfortable area (chairs kinda suck). So, if you're simply stopping for some caffeinated beverage(s), it's great and not too pricey, but if you want to work here for a while, it's okay. read more

Literally some of the worst coffee I've had. Great set up and nice shop, terrible product.

Good coffee and cool specialty drinks with a lot of milk alternatives. Their Mayan mocha is very yummy and so is their chai, their Ozark drink, and their Horchata drink. I also liked their hot chocolate! Haven't tried their pastries yet, but heard they are good. It's good vibes in there, a lot of students studying. I like going there with friends or family to hang out and chat! They also have locations in most hospitals and a food truck by the Food park where Satch squared and Sublime tacos is located. Def rec 4.5/5 read more

Love this coffee shop!! Great atmosphere and lots of seating for quick convos or study sessions! And you get a cute wafer with your coffee!

Great coffee and nice place to study or meet a friend. Prices can be a little on the high side but the coffee is really good so it's worth it! The baked goods are delicious as well. Indoor area is spacious, plus outdoor tables with umbrellas. Some of the pillars outside also have outlets so you can charge while outside. One of my favorite coffee shops in Gainesville! read more
