Would not recommend to LGBTQ+ people. Traveling from Orlando to ATL and did not realize this place would have "Faith and Family Month" posters everywhere. I didn't even initially assume it was a hate campaign until my sister mentioned it's an anti-pride month initiative. It's sad because the staff seems well intentioned and the coffee/food was fine. I just can't recommend this place as being an open-minded and respectful place for lgbtq+ people. read more

The prices are ridiculously expensive here for some reason. 1 coffee and a sandwich is over twenty dollars.

This is probably my favorite Cafe in Ocala and yes it definitely deserves all the praise! When you walk in this place is warm and inviting! So relaxed with everything just saying please just come in you're welcome, feel free to stay and visit for a while. You can sit quietly or come with others and have a peaceful conversation. If you'd like bring a group who would love some good food and coffee. There is WiFi if you need to sit and concentrate on your work or school. This cafe is just that place that lets you feel at peace and so very comfortable while enjoying anything you choose to order that is always served from the kindest people working at The Gathering Cafe. Today we ordered an Americano, a Caramel Macchiato and one of their famous Cinnamon Rolls! Soooooo scrumptious but oh my their sandwiches you must come and try the Croffles they will have you wanting more ( 2 pastry croissants pressed into a waffle iron ) either topped with powdered sugar served with maple syrup or my favorite the Nutella and Banana Croffles! Nutella and Banana stuffed between two Croffles topped with whipped cream and oh my chocolate powder ! Let me tell you, you'll never look back! The Gathering Cafe is a must place to visit, I promise if you love good food, coffee, and that happy place to be this is it. Be sure to come by it will make your day that much better !

I love this spot! I was looking for a coffee place during my visit in Ocala and found this gem! It is a Christian coffee spot as it has a lot of Bible verses throughout the cafe, which I absolutely love. There is also a mini market place with tshirts, accessories and more. The staff was very friendly, the place is beautiful and everything looked so good! I ended up getting a Chai Latte and a lemon blueberry muffin, which were both delicious. Next time I'll be trying their breakfast menu for sure. read more

While Ocala has many good coffee shops that serve good beverages, The Gathering stands apart with its peaceful ambiance, personal service and superb products. From Biblical scriptures on the drink glasses to the thoughtful decor, it is what most coffee shops want to be. The pastries selection is excellent! They also offer other breakfast and lunch options that are prepared quickly. On-street parking is available in front on Broadway and lot-parking available behind in a shared lot. Construction nearby slightly limits access from downtown, but a short detour to SW 2nd Ave takes you to the rear lot. Carryout is available, but treat yourself to the full experience by staying long enough to exhale your stress and find your smile. Seating is available on ground level and in the specious area upstairs. read more

This place smelled like bad body odor and sweat. I immediately felt repulsed as I entered this place. People also stare like they just saw an alien. They have a flag of Israel also displayed which is unsettling. I immediately left as I don't stand for human killing and don't support places that smell bad or support genocides. read more

The Gathering Cafe - Mmmm...so soothing, great atmosphere - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Food was good! There's a counter that you order at, then they bring you your food. Christian based. Delicious! We took home a cinnamon bun. It was soooo good! read more

This was most interesting... Apparently deeply religious, with Jesus oriented art, quotes adorning the walls. They moved to this space which offers a bright open feeling. Seating at the bar at the window, lobby tables ir upstairs all around the atrium. You order at counter and get your table number, followed by food and drink delivery. The servers sure get a workout running up and down the stairs! The coffee was ok, the egg and bacon plate slightly different than expected...one slice of toast underneath (see pic). My wife's wrap was very good. Parking can be a bit of a challenge in the busy downtown area, but a solid spot for breakfast or brunch. read more

Cute little spot in Ocala. Those are hard to come by in this area so this definitely gets a FIVE STAR rating. Food is amazing....especially the Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll...wow! But everything we tried, we enjoyed. It was also quite nice to see positive messages throughout. Written with a sharpie, you'll have a scripture or some sort of positive affirmation on your coffee cup. While it seems to be devotionally inclined, it is quite nice to find people with a spiritual inclination and a love of God. Make sure to check the hours because the schedule seems to be like that of a doctors office... days off, closed early; so make sure to plan ahead. read more

Every aspect is excellent. Food, people, space. If I lived in the area I would absolutely be a regular.

Are you a coffee snob? Are you particular about your coffee and how you like to drink it? Well, this is your local Coffee place and you will not regret it. I was looking for a local coffee shop as I like to avoid chain coffee shops. I found TGCO and I decided to drive over and give it a chance. The parking is shared with a few restaurants but there is plenty space for parking behind the building. As you walk into the restaurant, there is plenty of natural light inside the building and the decor is great! Regardless if you are a Christian or not, it is hard to deny that you feel at peace, calm or relax inside the building. The staff was great and they took the time to go over the menu and what they have to offer. In fact, I met the owner (Sarah) and she was great, kind and she clearly loves what she does. The coffee was very smooth and flavorful and made to order. I had to try the croissant because they looked delicious and they sure was. It was filled with chocolate ganache and they were flaky. I also got a cinnamon roll and OH. MY. GOSH. !. it was not overly sweet. It was made with love and you could tell. Overall, I can say that if you are in the area. This is the place to go for great coffee and food while helping a local business owners to stay open. read more

My go-to spot! They are always introducing new items and meals, while still maintaining their original menu if you like to stick with their signatures. The Gathering has introduced a nice spring-inspired item to their limited edition menu. They are the blueberry-lavender croffles, and they are delicious! They aren't too sweet at all, they are flavorful and they are displayed beautifully. Would highly recommend it if you are thinking about trying them :) read more

the biscuits and gravy are delightful. Honestly the best I've ever had ! Super cozy environment and the people are lovely!

Okay. Just found out that they use pre-sweetened matcha mix. That is something I try to avoid and the reason why I don't go to Starbucks to get my Matcha Latte. I spoke to them about this and they told me it's pre-sweetened with Stevia. It's at least 30 to 40 percent sweeter than anything I drink. Pretty disappointed. Guess I will stick to just the food from this place. read more

Stopped here for an early lunch, what a find! The Mediterranean Toast is delicious, not sure what kind of bread they use, but so yummy! The Red Pepper Wrap was also very tasty served on a spinach quesadilla. Mango, banana, protein smoothie was just the right amount of sweet! Will definitely be back on my last visit to Ocala! Thank you for the kind service and wonderful food and drinks. read more

This was a bit of a drive for us, but sooo glad we went. Super fast service and everyone is so nice and kind. They have some really nice specialty drinks. I had the honey lavender latte and it was delicious. For breakfast I had the avocado toast with eggs. My daughter had the avocado bliss and she said it was delicious. Would definitely go back to this quaint, breakfast/lunch place. Loved all the biblical verses and motivating quotes all around. read more

Great cappuccino with oat milk and sugar free vanilla! Took a long time to get our food but food did not disappoint. I do get frustrated though when we wait in line to order and then order and are then told they are out of nests. So then I had to quickly order something else. Why not post it or state it before we start to order? Great thick slices of bacon Good avocado toast- just needed salt Delicious gravy Good water Some people upstairs work at tables which limits seating for people eating at this establishment so check for seating before ordering! Thank you read more

The Gathering Café is a local mom and pop shop that opened in March. Through the support of local residents, they were able to survive and thrive this year. They are known for their pastries especially their cinnamon rolls which are freshly prepared with love every morning before sunrise. If you enjoy a little sugar in your drink, The specialty beverages are delicious! I've had the honey lavender latte, vanilla lavender latte, and caramel macchiato with pumpkin as recommended by a friend. Their beverages will not disappoint! I love how the seating arrangements are a little spaced out from each other to give you a personal bubble despite wanting to maintain 6 feet apart from others. There is plenty of space outside with chairs and tables for a sunny day. read more
