Bean burrito and iced Resi
Styliana R.

This spot is a great addition to the Gainesville coffee scene. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. It's definitely more of a restaurant vibe than a coffee shop vibe in terms of noise level and crowd, and they are strict about what tables can be occupied by those with laptops, so just keep that in mind if you are the type to work from different locations. The food is tasty, with a nice variety of options. I only wish the coffee menu was a bit more expansive or had a couple more seasonal options. The items that are on the coffee menu are delicious, though! My go-to is an iced Resi with oat milk.

Well decided to try this place out as we were craving an iced coffee. Was pretty busy, had to wait to order , but not too long, The guy who took my order was friendly .Took my order and gave me a number to hold onto till my order was ready. Coffee #1 - basically iced coffee , they call it cold brew , milk and supposedly sugar , very bland , nothing that make it a stand out coffee. Coffee #2- was their Big Pumkin - another coffee that was ok at nest.- had a distinct taste, couldn't put my finger on it, sprinkled with cinnamon, they called it their version of a pumpkin spiced latte, they might want to reword that, not even remotely similiar. They have hipster vibe decor, and alot of young adults in their doing school work. Looks more like a UF campus coffee shop.

This might be the BEST coffee shop in GNV. I've heard only positive things about this place, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I've actually been here once for coffee, but I had to try the food to give my full review. IMPECCABLE! Most places are give and take with coffee and food, and it seems like it's usually really good coffee, or really good food. Very rarely is it both really good food and coffee. Resident is the rarity because WOW, the food quality and taste was amazing, and so was the coffee! Whether you're in the GNV just passing through or a GNV resident (pun intended) you need to check this place out!

Break bowl with brisket and bacon

"The best breakfast bowl I have ever had" - my partner. I am one of these people that has their go-tos when eating out, but decided to branch out and I was not disappointed! I always love a breakfast bowl and this one was phenomenal. It had potatoes, avocado, pickled red onion, and the salsa on top gave it an amazing little kick. I tried a few pieces of the brisket and it was sooooo tender - if you're looking to add a meat to your bowl definitely go with the brisket. The latte was also delicious! This place is generally pretty busy, but we got there early and had no issues finding seating.

I stopped by Resident Coffee after seeing that they recently opened. A few months back, I noticed a sign on their door during my walks along 43rd Street saying they were getting ready to open but needed some extra funding. I'd pass by occasionally with my mom to check if they had opened yet; so when I finally saw on Instagram that they were officially open, we made plans to go together. I ordered their Café de Olla, made with their house cinnamon-spiced panela syrup and topped with vanilla cold foam. It was delicious, sweet, warming, and full of flavor. At $8 it's definitely a splurge, but since it's specialty coffee made with freshly ground beans, it felt like a nice little treat. The space inside is modern yet cozy, with beautiful natural light. It's the kind of place that feels perfect for studying, catching up with friends, or just relaxing with a book. It was busy when we went, but in a good way..people sitting down, enjoying their drinks, and soaking in the ambiance. The barista who took our order was super friendly and mentioned he was Cuban, which gave my mom the chance to chat with him in Spanish. He offered great recommendations and you could tell he really loves both coffee and working there. I really hope this place sticks around because I'd love to come back to try some of their food and maybe spend a few hours working on my laptop.

Menu

My new go-to spot for remote working and brunch with friends. I love grabbing coffee downtown Gainesville but dread the sometimes wildcard of difficult parking - Resident has easy peasy parking options (such as big parking lot). The menu has some fun food options that look great for adults and kiddos. I initially tried to order a caramel latte to which there is a twist with theirs in that it has unrefined sugar and citrus - the barista was great at figuring out a good drink option alternative. There is ample indoor seating, plenty of outlets, floor to ceiling windows (love the natural light), soft lighting, and great music. A bit of a long line to order but it moved fast. The staff were friendly, made good suggestions, and speedy. If you are looking for a quick stop or a place to camp out and get some work done - 10/10 recommend trying this new spot out!

this place is sooo cool. first off, the menu is so exquisite but also they have something for everyone. went here with my friends and they made me get the pancakes which i am SO GLAD I CAVED AND DID. the coffee is fantastic and the food is even better!! and the quality of the food is totally worth the prices. the service was quick and the pancakes didn't even hurt my tummy. pretty sure they make everything gluten free as well!! highly recommend

chorizo burrito
Rachel C.

Very cute and aesthetic place to get coffee or brunch! They have a delicious hispanic fusion brunch menu, I tried the chorizo burrito and biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were made from blue corn and were delicious, I do wish they gave more gravy as it got dry towards the end, but still delicious! Chorizo burrito was yummy as well! Not as big as other reviews say tbh, but it was nice and had a good spicy kick to it. Drinks were good! I don't drink coffee, so I can't speak for that unfortunately, but I did purchase some beans for gifting!

Kentucky Chicken Biscuit (scrambled egg instead of fried)
Alyssa M.

My second experience was unfortunately not quite as good as my first one here. The service was still very good, but my food and drink were not the best. The pumpkin spice latte had some flavor to it that was a little off to me and I didn't enjoy it all that much. The chorizo burrito was alright, but the tortilla was a little burnt on the outside and kind of a chewy texture. The ambiance is still very cute and very clean, my main problem this time was just with the food and drink.

I love this place! It's a really great brunch place to eat and hang out. The coffee is so good. Not that many different drink options but quality over quantity. The coffee is smooth and very high quality. The food is really good and I like their masa pancakes the best. You place your order first and they bring the food out to you. Seats can be limited during the really busy hours. Love this place so much!

Was visiting the area and wanted to get some good coffee and sit down for lunch! This spot was perfect! But it was crowded so if you need a spot maybe check out the bar top!

Alyana S.

I came to Resident Coffee Roasters when I had to get stuff done for work. I got the Resi and the cinnamon roll and it was absolutely delicious. I met the management and he saw I was hesitant on trying the Resi since I originally wanted the iced caramel latte but he told me I can try something else if I don't like it. The Resi was absolutely delicious and it's my favorite! I highly recommend checking it out and it has a light airy feel to the place.

Siri P.

I've now visited resident coffee roasters twice, and enjoyed my experience both times. My first visit was to study and simply try the coffee, which was really good. I got the latte that had the panela (a sort of caramel-y flavor) and citrus. I'm not a big citrus in my coffee person, but this was really good and well balanced. I was also surprised to hear that they make all of their own syrups in house! Seating is a bit tough if you were there to study as it gets busy really quickly, and some tables are marked off for no electronics. However, my second visit was to go meet a friend and we had the best time! We decided to have brunch and I got the superfood bowl and though I'm not really sure what was in it, it was really good!! I'm not usually the biggest yogurt person, but this just had so many textures. It was hard not to like it! Usually cafés are either really good at food or really good at coffee, but I'm so happy that there's a spot that excels at both :)

Needless to say this the Metro diner truly surpassed my expectations. We walked in and were greeted immediately and asked if we would like to sit outside which is a covered area or indoors. We chose inside given it being a hot humid day and wanting that extra comfort. The vibe felt amazing with all the smiles and yes even though busy all the wait staff was hopping doing their business! We were seated and told about the specials and given the menu. I was unsure what I wanted because I think I could have eaten a little bit of everything! I did ask the waitress a couple of suggestions and one of them was the pancakes I had chosen. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day! How cool is that and rare. They had a chicken and waffle special that was actually half a chicken ( pieces ) fried with Belgium waffles, powdered sugar and sweet strawberry butter served with their signature sweet and spicy sauce. I'll be honest when I had seen someone else get their plate I was surprised. It looked absolutely incredible and well tremendous. On their specials they had banana pudding pancakes or waffles, this also sounded amazing. It had walnuts, butter and powdered sugar and definitely banana. I am most certainly glad that I chose this as it was incredibly. Super fluffy, flavorful and the banana was not overwhelming there was a perfect balance of flavors. There was a sauce on them that I assume was the banana pudding. It was light and just enough to not overpower the pancake itself. We had also ordered croissant French toast and my son absolutely loved them. They were crispy on the outside yet fluffy and flavorful with a fantastic texture topped with some powdered sugar. Some ordered hash browns, these were also delicious and homemade with a great texture and the portion like all the other dishes pretty large. We had all tried the biscuits and gravy. These too were delicious with such a nice balance of flavors. The biscuits indeed homemade. We were all very pleased with everything. Some eggs over easy and bacon cooked perfectly. The coffee honestly the best I've had in years. I'm a coffee drinker and I cannot figure this coffee was outstanding! I had four cups and wish for more ha ha. Best of all I must compliment the service. I have not been to a restaurant of any sort with such attentive service, quality service as we received here in years. The waitress kept refilling my coffee and water, brought my son more soda ( even a container to take his home ) asked everyone if they needed anything at appropriate times and was extremely kind and considerate. I will be back and I highly recommend the Metro Diner for a great meal, quality service and relaxed environment that you will enjoy.

Order at the counter, get a number and then they will bring food out to you. Self serve water is available inside. We were there a busy day. Wait to order wasn't too bad and we found a table outside, but nobody was bussing any tables so basically customers sitting down were left clearing the dishes from the table of the people before them & wiping down the table. Nobody from the restaurant came out to help or apologize and it wasn't until dishes were almost toppling out of the bin that anyone took them away. Menu is pretty diverse - you can get some traditional items or more eclectic. We ordered the green goddess salad, croque mademoiselle (ham & cheese sandwich) on gluten free bread & okonomiyaki (japanese pancakes with cloud eggs). It took probably 30 min to get our food. The food presentation is really lovely & feels special when it's delivered. However, taste left something to be desired. The Japanese pancakes weren't good. The egg specifically looked really pretty all puffed up, but was so bad none of us were willing to have more than one bite. There were some other funky flavors going on there as well that detracted from enjoying it. The ham & cheese sandwich was okay, but the cheese is put on the outside, including a runny cheese, so it's a total mess to try and eat. Definitely do not order this one on a date! We ended up just eating the inside portion. It does come with a small green goddess type salad, which is nice. The entree green goddess appeared great when delivered. Loved the light, fresh dressing and ingredients. However, lots of the lettuce had sort of rotting tips, which made me worried to eat it especially since this isn't the cleanest place. Despite appreciating the quirkiness of the restaurant and the selection of fresh options they offer, we won't be returning.

I went to the Luke's Bagels location under the Standard this past week and was disappointed. I hadn't been here in a little bit, especially since Bagels & Co. just opened down the street. But I was craving a Luke's Bagels, so I got there around 8:30, when they opened ready to order. Unfortunately, no one was at the counter when I came in. Someone popped out from the back to take my order a little while's later though. Their bagel selection was extremely limited, more so than usual. They didn't have poppy seed or sesame seed bagels. This was surprising, as I thought this location was sent fresh bagels each morning, I guess not. Luckily, I was able to order a bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted Asiago, along with a toasted plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese. This took roughly 15 minutes to come out, which was longer than I expected. Upon delving into my bagels, I noticed a couple things that were different from my previous visits last semester. The bagels were definitely smaller, had less cream cheese, and didn't taste as fresh. The BEC had ample amounts of American cheese and the eggs were good, but there was barely any bacon! There was MAYBE two meager pieces on the bagel, I didn't even get bacon in most of my bites. The Asiago bagel still had a decent taste, with a nice sharp Asiago. But it just wasn't very fresh tasting like they've been in the past. The texture wasn't awful, but it wasn't what it used to be. The plain bagel with cream cheese was lackluster. The plain bagel was just fine, as it too was not very fresh. The strawberry cream cheese was decent and not too sweet, which I appreciate. I also like that their cream cheeses have more of whipped texture to them. But there certainly wasn't as much cream cheese on this bagel as I've received in the past! Overall, I was not very pleased with my experience here. The bagels were not fresh at all, the sandwich was lacking bacon, and I just thought the quality appeared be lower. Maybe I came on an off day, but the bagels were not fresh and the assortment they had available was very limited. The texture of the bagels still has a softer center, with a chewy outside , but the outside was too chewy and hard. The size and portions were decreased as well. The BEC had too much cheap, American cheese, and lacked bacon. The plain bagel with cream cheese didn't have much smear on it. For being about $19 for two bagels, not worth it. This makes me sad as I used to love Luke's, but this was not a good visit. I hope next time I come here it is better!
