    Very consistent Starbucks with an OK amount of parking considering its location. The drinks and food are consistent at every location, so this review is more about the service and the logistics of the location. This location is located in Butler Plaza and has plenty of ways to get in and out of - parking is adequate during mornings but I'd imagine it gets limited during the times the other stores in the plaza open up. Service was fine and quick at this location. They even have a clover machine!

    I actually enjoy visiting this Starbucks on Archer Road. It seems to always be filled with people and the service has always been fast and efficient despite the busy-ness of this location. It is nicely decorated with wall art of the old University of Florida and cool light fixtures that create a nice ambience for its patrons. The parking is a little tight, but the location is great if you have a few errands to run in and around Archer Road.

    Ever since the new Starbucks opened nearby this location has been less busy. The service is usually relatively fast and friendly when I go here.

    The new location has interesting light fixtures.

    This Starbucks always gets the job done. I come here when I need to be productive. It is conveniently located on Archer Road. There is always plenty of parking and most of the time it is not too crowded. I like how it is open late. Most coffee shops in the area close at around 6-7pm which is way too early when I need to study. The drinks are standard. They are pretty good, but obviously not top notch like other coffee shops in the area. I really enjoy getting a doppio with a pump of caramel. It is the closest thing on the menu to a Cuban coffee. The service is a little slow, but the baristas are helpful and nice most of the time. It gets really cold in here so make sure to bring a sweater. The wifi is reliable and there are many outlets if you sit at the large table. This Starbucks is a comfortable place to go to be productive. You don't have to worry about it being cash only, not having parking, or having limits on your wifi. It is like the comfy pair of flats in your closet; familiar, ordinary, but good for everyday life. No Instagram photo ops here. Save those for your Louboutins.

They also have outdoor seating on the patio out front. Concord Coffee offers a nice selection of drinks with unique syrups, etc. Although I didn't order coffee this time, I would be willing to try it in the future! The staff is super friendly and helpful. Their pastry case is limited and I believe they get their baked goods from somewhere local. I wasn't sure what to get and the worker recommended any of their pastries, as opposed to their bagels, as they were delivered fresh today. I ended up ordering the cinnamon roll, she heated it up and that took about 5 minutes. The cinnamon roll itself wasn't anything super special. The dough reminded me more of that of a croissant due to its flakier consistency. The glaze on top was light and the cinnamon inside was underwhelming. I still didn't have a problem with it until I reached the center. I noticed the center wasn't fully heated up and even felt slightly cold. But my biggest issue was the fact that the dough in the center was very much raw. It was not cooked/baked through at all. Disappointing to say the least. I would not return for a pastry or baked good, as I believe you can find better ones around the area for a better price. But I would return to try the coffee. Overall, I think Concord Coffee is a super cute coffee shop located in midtown. The staff is really sweet and helpful as well. I thought the inside was clean and I appreciated the decor. With that that being said, I would stick to beverages as opposed to their food items. My cinnamon roll was anything but special, I feel like one from Publix would have left me more satisfied. By biggest issue was definitely the fact that it wasn't baked through and raw in the center. I will get around to trying their coffee at some point in the future.

Definitely a place that welcomes sitting and talking, where you can relax for a bit. A small selection of bagels and baked goods, but all are good quality. 3-4 kinds of bagels and 3 kinds of muffins on the days we were there. The coffee is decent but not spectacular, though they have a long list of specialty drinks to appeal to a variety of tastes. There aren't any pour over options, if you aren't getting an espresso drink you're getting coffee from an urn. The beans do seem well sourced, the brewing doesn't seem like it's getting the best out of them.

It is also kept clean, which I appreciate. Foxtail makes for an excellent study spot too, very good environment! As for their menu items I've tried, I have had nothing but good experiences. Their cold brew is definitely one of the best, creamiest cold brews I've ever had. It almost doesn't need milk it is so smooth with such a good flavor profile. I would highly recommend trying this if you are into cold coffees. I still need to try some of their syrups, but I am most intrigued by their sugar free cold foams. For the food, I've really enjoyed their croissants. Surprisingly fresh, buttery, and flakey, they won't disappoint. And heated up, game changer!! The chocolate one is super tasty and pairs perfectly with a coffee. All in all, I think Foxtail is a wonderful coffee shop in Gainesville. I'm so happy they opened one in midtown as I will definitely be frequented it more. Cannot wait to explore more of the menu!

My boyfriend got a cappuccino with strawberry syrup but we didn't really taste the strawberry in his. Regardless, it was delicious. We also got one of their biscotti which seemed like they made in house but I'm not sure. It was yummy, but definitely was not a very traditional recipe. It tasted more like a short bread than a biscotti but still very yummy. We walked out to the food truck to get some vegan bites and they definitely met expectations. The crabby patty was delicious with a great texture, and my boyfriends patty melt was also super good. We shared a mac and cheese and honestly I was full before we even got to that. The Mac and cheese was great but did taste a lot like coconut so if you're not into that then maybe veer away. The ambience was a mixed bag. The initial shop that you order the coffee in had a very cozy vibe with great decor. If you walk past the patio into the overflow seating the vibe changes a ton. The decor felt very uncanny valley, back rooms, like very odd. I think they need to work on that side of the property a little bit and make it more cozy. Maybe it's a work in progress or maybe they like it that way, I'm not sure, but it wasn't the sort of vibe that made me want to stick around. Overall great experience though! Will be coming back & hopefully I can get seating in the main shop ;)
