Wow! I am super glad I stopped in on a Saturday morning! They have the cutest aesthetic vibes throughout the whole place! I ordered, a hot lavender latte, of course. It was delivered with a cute foam art design & tasted great. I didn't really taste the lavender syrup but even so I enjoyed sipping while enjoying the beauty of the interior. They have thoughtful photo ops and board games in the back room with lots of available seating options. read more

My first visit to Shotted Cafe at Gainesville, VA, felt like coming home, and that was entirely because of Evelynn H. Her warmth, professionalism, and exceptional customer service instantly stood out. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and made every detail feel effortless. What truly set her apart was the genuine connection. We shared a meaningful conversation that made the experience personal, not just transactional. Evelynn represents something rare: care, intention, and heart. If she reflects the team, this café is built on something special. I'll absolutely be back because of her. read more

It's a spacious cafe with a lot of seating. Clean and bright. The perfect place for relaxing, finishing work or school work. The music is traditional but light for conversation or just window starring lol.. I got a cappuccino and a pistachio-brownie. The bakery selections are mostly rich and heavy.I believe is a middle eastern influences. The Barista is so nice and friendly. I highly recommend this hang out spot. The coffee was really good and the quality of the beans is acceptable. read more

Shotted is a must-try in Gainesville. I visited while it was busy but well-managed on Sunday afternoon. Tried the Spanish latte, salmon avocado sandwich, and saffron cake. The salmon avocado sandwich was fresh and flavorful -- I'd definitely order it again. Originally I planned to compare the pistachio latte and cake to the ones I'd had at Tysons, but ended up going with the Spanish latte (swayed bc it is made with sweetened condensed milk) and the saffron cake instead. Got the Spanish latte iced, which made the condensed milk flavor harder to detect. While I liked that it wasn't overly sweet, I'd opt for the hot version next time. The saffron cake was a standout -- light and not too sweet. If you usually enjoy rich, sweet things like ookiecay rumblecay, you won't like it. But for those who prefer lightly sweet desserts, it's a must-try. Little touches I appreciated are cleaner bathrooms and more private stalls. Overall, it's a thoughtfully run café, and I will return. read more

Been back a few more times. Tried the Butter and Leeks pastry, and the Blueberry Danish. Both were tasty. However, Shotted has a problem keeping their cold brew available. It's not good when I walk in and they have no cold brew left. Had to hit another local place for cold brew... read more

This place is so much bigger than the old location, there's even a study room which is really nice. The food looks absolutely delicious but I haven't had the chance to try it yet. I did request a little less sweetness in my latte but I want to come back here and try everything else. Service was quick, lots of sitting space to wait, I love what they've done with the space! read more

Amazing addition to Gainesville! I've been to the Tyson's locations for years and was happy to see it open up in Gainesville as well. I got the Pistachio Latte which is always incredible! Honestly, there are very few drinks I can consume that quickly! My husband got the spanish latte which he loved as well. I want to go back and give their pastries another try. In the past I have found them to be a bit too sweet for my liking. read more

The place is cute, but what I got was just okay. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk and it wasn't that good. There wasn't a lot of strawberry jam and it was mediocre. The matcha just tasted like oat milk and had a very dull color. It was not nearly as vibrant as it looked in the picture. I also got the blueberry danish and lotus donut. The blueberry danish was very subpar. It could've been a lot flakier. I liked the lotus donut though, it had a nice texture and the icing on it tasted good. The place is very spacious. It would be a good place to study. I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Brownie was a bit drier than expected, red velvet cookie was ok. The bakery items here are hard to compare to the previous cafe that was here. Regular coffee drip was good. It's tough with coffee shops opening in our area especially when Starbucks is right across the corner to compete with. Lots of seating inside and outside. read more

Finally a closer location ! When walking in it was quiet but had people inside , which is a good sign, a lot of people outside on their patio which is a touch . No food items for me this time , but will return back soon , great space for small get togethers and or meetings. read more

I had a vanilla cappuccino, egg and cheese brioche breakfast sandwich and a pistachio butter donut. I have to say I was very impressed. The food tasted fresh and everything was well-made. Definitely something fresh and new. Can't wait to try some of their other pastries. I highly recommend this place. read more

I got the pesto mozzarella sandwich, and the blueberry cream cheese danish, and the lotus donut (biscoff). The sandwich is a 2 star - flavorless, needed salt, some basil, and balsamic. The bread was very bready - overall felt like airline food. The danish was a 3.5 star- tasted ok but it was again like something I might get at a buffet or an airplane. The donut was the only thing I would get again - had a nice chew and tasted good. 4 stars for the donut. The inside is very cute - spacious and well lit, a lot of seating inside and outside, and a good selection of desserts. But I would only come again to try a coffee and another donut. read more

Wanted to like this place. Tried the pistachio donut (looked appetizing) but unfortunately the dough was not thoroughly cooked. Their set up is exactly what Tous le Jour's set up was at this location with a few updates to the ambiance but the food selection was lacking. I would go back for a prepared coffee drink, their latte was pretty good. read more

Really lovely inside with plenty of seating. My spinach and feta pastry was delicious and the selection is phenomenal. Will definitely be coming back more often! read more

Did not leave tip for simple coffee order and my drink was left on counter without letting me know. Another time ordered jasmine tea that was tasteless. Tables are not cleaned regularly, indoors and outside. Wrappers, crumbs, sticky. Yuck. read more

So happy they opened one in Gainesville! Coffee is amazing but the donuts are stale AF. I was so excited to eat it paired with my coffee and it was such a dry donut, tasted like a donut that's been sitting there for days. Service and ambiance is great, I will be back for the coffee but not for the sweets or food. read more

Hit this spot three times in last 2 weeks. It's really cool. From the outside it kinda looks like a generic strip mall kinda place. Inside, not at ALL. Clean, polished white granite and brass and just a great Middle East meets America vibe. Lots for the eyes as well as great coffee drinks (pistachio latte with real pistachio paste) small bites (gluten free crunchy salmon and avocado sandwich) AND the sweets! Too many to list and they looked amazing. Plenty of room. Comfy areas inside and outside. Plenty of parking. If you go to the Starbucks 50ft away you are missing out. Service is fast and friendly. A must stop if you're are near Gateway shops. read more

It is a similar layout to the cafe that was there before, but I definitely like this vibe more. The cafe snacks and sandwiches are pretty good and the food feels nice and light. The prices do seem a little pricier that the cafe that was there before though. read more

Very good place love the food and coffee sitting area outside and inside so nice I recommend it especially the open until 12 am very nice to sit outside and enjoy the view I read more

New place for me. Good service. Good coffee. I like their effort to create a space that is flexible for singles, couples and business groups. Good WiFi and soft seating. I wish the music was not solely middle Eastern. The owners are bringing a bit of their culture to the customers and while I think that can be cool, it's not my preference. read more

We've been to Shotted twice. The first time we went we tried the pistachio latte and pistachio donut, both of which were delicious. The donut was soft and had a lot of filling. This time we were disappointed. We ordered the pistachio cheesecake, because we liked the pistachio before. $8.50 seemed pretty high for the cake in the display. When they handed us the cake, we were shocked. It was half the size of what was in the display. This cheesecake is way over priced for what you get. Shotted was also extremely over staffed for how many customers were there. There were at least two or three people standing behind the counter doing nothing. read more

Tried Shotted in Gainesville location for the first time on a Friday night around 8:30 p.m. Placed a "to go" order for some pastries (cream-filled croissant with strawberries and a raspberry cheese danish) and a brownie. The pastries were top notch; the brownie had little flavor and was very dry. I love brownies; so that was a big disappointment. Maybe it was made early in the day and had just dried out. We'll go back for the pastries though. There was a very big crowd outside in their large, attractive open area. Beautiful weather for that. Couldn't see the crowd inside from where I was standing but it was extremely noisy because of two uncontrolled children running around and screaming. I was glad we had ordered "to go". Not the operation's fault, but where were the parents?? The decor inside remains attractive from the previous owner and possibly some changes that Shotted made. Give it a try. read more

Excellent coffees and pastries! Love the ambiance. Service was great! A little pricey but worth it.

Came in around 9am. Ordered a Strawberry matcha and got a a savory pastry. Dilara took my order (according to my reciept lol) and was very nice and made sure to double check if I wanted it sweeter or not. She also offered to heat up my pastry which was nice. One of the staff later came when I was seated to organize and clean off the tables. The seating area is very clean and the employees attentiveness to keeping it that way is clear. I will definitely be back. read more

nice coffee and pastries but the sitting area can be a little dirty but overall nice place

Found by chance passing by. Unexpectedly massive seating area! Friendly service, and tasty drinks and sweets. read more

The drinks here are on par with the Tysons and Dulles locations. I've tried pistachio, red velvet, and mocha so far, and they are all very good. I got their chocolate chip walnut cookie, chocolate pastry, and lotus and pistachio donuts. The cookie is very very close to Levain's, and I'd gladly come back here to get it instead of having to drive out all the way to Georgetown. Chocolate pastry is good too - it had a nice chocolatey filling and a crunchy top. The donuts were a bit underwhelming. Toppings were good but the dough itself felt greasy and dense. There wasn't much filling inside either. I think if they have more filling and have a lighter yeasty dough it will be perfect. Place is gorgeous with plenty of outdoor seating. Pastries did take significantly longer than the drinks to package up, which was unusual, because maybe I'm spoiled from the Korean bakeries packaging things right away as you are paying at the counter. read more

service is slow and the drinks are not ono par as their tysons location.i ordered a cafe mocha with oat milk lightly sweetened ,well there was no sugar in it.and a cold nitro tea which was sweetened with artifical sweetner which we did not ask for ,they look lost at this location and do not seem to know how to provide efficent service read more
