This was quite fun. We had a reservation for high-tea and were immediately greeted and seated…read more There were lots of little knick-knacks and plenty to look at where we were sitting. It was pretty immersive with all of the dolls and the China cabinet full of tea sets. The server was very nice and helpful. I believe there are two servers that run the floor and it seemed to run quite smoothly. The food was delicious! I really enjoyed pretty much everything that was prepared and brought to the table. I definitely hope to go back again.

What a wonderful place. Easy to see they Love what they do. What a deliciously enchanting tea…read moreexperience superlative to all other tea experiences that have come before, and there have been many. You see, I really don't like going for tea or well, it's more the spending a lot of good money on tea and ridiculous fingerling sandwiches and stale confectionary bits and such. I just don't ...but when you get a prescription for happiness, you fill it. And so, as it were, I've been to enough tea places to drown myself a few times over in tea and well, I'm often unhappy with the value. Lots of places like to cheat. So, I digress, of all the teas I've been to in all the years, I place this tea among the highest. Many thanks for creating a place where I can enjoy the experience as if I had been the purveyor myself. Well done.

Amazing ice cream and a tremendous amount of flavors!…read more So many flavors it is hard to decide! Gluten free cones available and they can assist with allergens in the ice cream flavors. Generous portions, even in the small size. We will definitely be back.

Hidden gem for a quick sweet pick-me-up! I stopped by the drive-thru in the evening after a day at…read morethe springs and ordered a medium Cookies & Cream Freezer with whipped cream. It was super smooth and creamy, not icy at all, with the perfect sweetness and a light espresso flavor so it drinks more like a dessert coffee. The service was very fast and the baristas were extremely friendly. The location felt clean, safe, and convenient right off the highway. A 10/10 quick stop and I would definitely order it again!

Great coffee, but painfully slow service at the Alachua location…read more I've been a fan of Ellianos Coffee for years and have visited multiple locations across Florida. The drinks are consistently solid with good strong espresso, good flavors, and reliable options. The Alachua spot has the same great menu and quality brews I've come to expect. Unfortunately, the service here is a major letdown compared to every other Ellianos I've been to. What is usually a quick drive-thru stop elsewhere, turns into a long, frustrating wait in Alachua. Even with a moderate line (or sometimes barely any cars), it takes significantly longer to move through the order and pickup process. I've experienced very slow pacing multiple times with the staff seeming disorganized and often standing around chatting with one another goofing around while customers are waiting, and orders taking forever to prepare with less accuracy, and overall much less efficiency than the chain's usual "speed and precision" promise. For better accuracy, it would be beneficial for the person taking the order to repeat it back to the customer. Other Ellianos locations handle busy mornings with quick, friendly service even during rushes. This one is noticeably slower and less streamlined, which is disappointing when you're just trying to grab a coffee on the go. The coffee is still worth it if you're not in a hurry, and the staff are polite when you finally get to the window. But for drive-thru convenience and speed, this Alachua location falls short of the Ellianos standard I've enjoyed elsewhere. Hopefully they can pick up the pace because it's the one big thing keeping me from being a regular here. If you're in the area and have time to spare, give it a try for the drinks. Otherwise, I'd stick to other nearby Ellianos or alternatives if speed matters.

One coffee with oat milk was disgusting and the other was so hot, even after twenty minutes it was still too hot to drink. Was so hot for so long, I completely forgot about it after buying something else somewhere else. So was like throwing money away. Everybody makes mistakes and the super ridiculously hot coffee wasn't anything a few ice cubes couldn't fix, but this isn't the first time in recent memory something was either wrong or not good with our order.

I did not see at first due to looking for something that looked like the photos. The new location seems a lot larger with more seating indoor and outdoor. It also looks more modern less vintage vibes. Staff was kind and attentive. Food came less than five minutes after ordering, very fast service. I tried the curry tempeh sandwich which was very good. I was looking for a healthier option that had high protein and it really hit the spot. It had sprouts on the sandwich which I thought was a nice touch. The bread itself was also phenomenal in my opinion was a highlight of the meal. They also had a small portion of vegan pasta salad as a side and daily have a vegan soup option for those looking for something warm. Overall was grateful for delicious food that I can tell the owner put a lot of love and work into the menu. Options for everyone, we love to see it.

The outside of Cym definitely needs a spruce up but when you walk in it is surprisingly nice. The space is divided up into several rooms where several people had their laptops out working or studying. I had a hot latte that was warm at best and a raspberry croissant. The croissant had a nice raspberry flavor but the latte definitely could have been much hotter. The coffee though was good and no sweetener was needed. They have a nice outside porch area with a fan for sitting when the inside gets too full or if you just want to enjoy the outdoors.
