    Turkey Club on Marble Rye

    I love this little cafe! The service has always been wonderful and the food is yummy! They now offer curbside pickup which is very easy and convenient, just order online and once at the Church, ring the doorbell and they will pass off your food.

    Arugula & Endive Salad  with dried apple chips, pumpkin seeds, craisins, chopped pecans & goat cheese crumbles.

    Downtown Tally's best-kept secret! Fresh, fabulous food, the BEST mint tea, lovely outdoor tables, fast friendly service, free wi-fi, super reasonable prices. Fresh-baked pita chips, amazing sandwiches, soups & salads. Fantastic desserts. Charming place, everything made from scratch with love and it shows. Best lunch in town. I love this place!

    Delicious sandwich and soup!

    Absolutely amazing. I cannot rave about this place enough. Fran Doxsee is a culinary genius, everything that comes out the kitchen is delectable. There are 4 menus that rotate weekly, plus there are always specials (panini of the week, soups, desserts, etc). The food comes out lightening quick, the staff is really friendly, the atmosphere is great (plus outdoor seating) and free wifi! Just remember that they only take cash or checks (no big deal). What's not to love?!

    Delicious sandwich of the day - grouper BLT - and a side of bean salad

    First time in Tallahassee and I had to make a quick road trip stop for coffee!…read more Saw that Ology was in a brewery and it piqued my interest! The coffee had very good reviews so I thought I'd give it a try. The menu item names are very creative. Five stars for that. So far loved the vibe. And as far as customer service goes, they were very friendly! I really wanted to try their Rosemary Lavender but sadly they were out of this flavor. I opted for cardamom with oat milk. After the first sip.. I couldn't quite get the cardamom taste. Not with the second, third or fourth. It fell a bit too short for me. Cardamom has a very distinct taste and it was lost in the milk. Just tasted like a regular latte. I had to have more than 12oz (looks like this is their only size) so I also got the cold brew.. but the batch was not as strong as I would prefer. I think it can be better. I'm sadly reminded of the old Keurig days when my coffee would come out tasting extremely diluted but I would still drink to because it was quick and easy. Cold brew is a slow, beautiful and delicate process. This drink did not reflect that awesome cold brew experience. I expect the cold brew from a coffee place to taste much better than what I make at home. No for me Ology. Wish you guys better days though!

    First timer. Looked nice but it has a bar feel to it. Not my cup of tea but I will recommend since…read morethe service was very good.

Several people were on laptops and others were just enjoying the space. I loved the decor and the barista was extremely kind. He asked what I ordered from other places and the recommended the brown sugar caramel latte. That drink was so good and perfectly relaxation zone. My only regret was getting a 12 oz and not a bigger drink. I'm happy I was able to grab a drink here and plan to return tomorrow.

    If you're looking for a cozy corner to sip and stay awhile, Lucky Goat Coffee is that spot…read more The café was buzzing in the best way, filled with people tucked behind their laptops, deep in work mode. It had that calm, productive energy where the espresso machine hums like background music and no one feels rushed. Just a chill, focused vibe. I also loved the merch selection. The branding is clean and cool, the kind of gear you actually want to wear instead of toss in a drawer. It adds personality to the space. When I ordered, the cashier didn't just take my order. They helped me craft a cup that matched my taste perfectly. The result was delicious. Creamy, strong, and not overly sweet. It had that bold coffee backbone without overwhelming the flavor. Honestly, I could've gone back for a second cup without hesitation. Great atmosphere, thoughtful service, and a perfectly balanced cup of coffee. It was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely be back for another creamy, strong refill.

    I had looked this coffee shop up awhile back and it had caught my eye because it also sells ice…read morecream. I wound up going today to meet a pair of girlfriends and it was not what I expected. For one, it is rare in Tallahassee to have difficulty finding parking and that's exactly what happened here. This is in a side of town that is gentrifying and attempting to imitate Miami. This area is South Monroe, or SoMo, and it is reminiscent of Wynwood Walls in Miami except so far they're not charging for parking and it's still manageable. I say this as we wound up parking in the overflow parking section. Anyway, as far as coffee and food options go, they definitely had more coffee options than food ones. This may be a good place for a light bite but not a full-on meal. My friends each had some rose orange lemonade tea drink that looked gorgeous and apparently was tasty to boot. One of them had a sandwich, while I partook in a plain bagel with cream cheese and an iced café latte. This last bit is a miracle as I'm typically a hot coffee drinker, but it was lovely indeed and I have no regrets with my choice. I do have to say though that there are a lot of fox-themed coffee shops in the city. One of my friends accidentally drove to one of them before meeting us, so definitely be careful when going. It's easy to get confused and/or forget where Foxtail is!
