So many great things to say about this company! Consistency is key and they do a great job all across the board. From their amazing customer service to their food/beverage quality. It’s clear that the staff members are treated well by the owner/manager because they are always so nice and welcoming (even at 6 AM) lol. I order the same coffee everyday and it’s always consistent which is very important to someone like myself who drinks coffee everyday.

Excellent coffee? Check. Excellent service? Double check. All the folks that work here are really nice and personable. Even drive through makes a positive impression! They also have a unique talent of making sweet coffees that still actually taste like coffee. Their espresso freezers may be sweet, but they taste like sweet COFFEE, not just sugar! I keep coming back!

Staff was super friendly joking around with us and having a good time while still keeping it efficient. Bakery items were exceptional. Very reasonable prices. Only taking off one star bc the iced coffee was pretty gnarly in my opinion. Maybe switch to cold brew? But clearly a solid option and I’ll be coming back when it cools down and hot coffee becomes palatable to me again.

Great local coffee shop. Their hot chocolate is top-notch. They even make the drive-thru really fun with weekly votes to cast from your car.

Fantastic coffee and baked goods! I wish the menu was a little more consistent, and that they would fix their order speaker, but Ive never had a single issue with them or my order.

Just had a latte and a friend a mocha..it was very good. They had a great set up a small library room to sit; two other rooms ...one was used by people with computers.Its different...a special place.I dont think they had more than baked goods to eat...which they ran low on; when we got there....they open at 6am..i think..so by 11ish am they didnt have much.

Very cheap and very good. They know what theyre doing. Their coffee makes Starbucks taste like dirt. Theyre very patient and offer excellent recommendations. For me and 1 other person both getting large coffees, it was a little over $8. If I could rate this 10 stars, I would rate it 11

The coffee here is very good, and has a nice laid-back atmosphere. Some of the pastries are vegan, and I had an unbelievable guava pastry there recently. Most of the time I can’t get that, but if it’s there you must grab it.

The coffee was good, but the service was extremely slow and the roof was leaking in multiple places.

This is the coffee shop I go to most often in Gainesville. Great atmosphere, coffee, and people. The place has a lot of character, and it even has a little library in the back if you want to crack open a book!

The design of the outer structure of the coffee shop looking forward and owner is friendly.

Review №14

Such a special treat when we visit here. It has been a while since our last visit but the flavors have not changed. I normally get their White Mocha Freezer. This drink tastes so amazing that I get it every time I visit. It has coffee in it without being bitter and taste so smooth when you are drinking it that I find the bottom of the drink way too quick. While I love going into the store it is often so busy that you have to go through the drive in.

This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Gainesville. The coffee is so good and less expensive than other places. I really love their iced white mocha! They also have new fun flavors each month. The staff is super friendly and very fast! 10/10

I was going to leave a one star a months ago and I refrained rather than writing a bad review I just stopped going all together... but today the baristas on staff are ten times better than previous and they turned me into someone who will be coming back again to get more! The blue haired woman was the absolute highlight with her bright personality and knowledge on the coffee.

My favorite coffee shop in Gainesville. The taste is much better than Starbuckss. Love caramel latte here. The service also good and the staff are friendly. There are only drive thru because of the pandemic.

Sadly, we didnt order any Coffee when we were here, but the espresso is dynamite! The latte was far too sweet for my liking but I could probably specify next time, now that I know. The pastries are fresh and moist, and definitely pair well with their drinks. Although they originally messed up the order and made an iced drink instead of hot, they were quick to fix it. Overall, I would definitely recommend this coffee shop!

One of the best coffee shop in Gainesville. I like the taste of coffee 💖☕💖

Review №35

Frequently get my dose of Earl Gray here. WIFI available, good pastries. If you want refills, ask for a cup of hot water and reuse T-bags; calling for a refill per se will get a COVID-related turn down. Some outside seating and a reading room/lounge sets CC apart from the chains. And there is drive through which may slow down in-person orders. Occasional decent poli-cultural discussion, too.

Rude, pretentious staff, whom openly gossip about customers. No organic or fair trade. Nice lounge area, computer lounge and music stage.

Good coffee old coffee house feel plus less expensive and if not as good maybe better. Plus you dont wait as long here even in drive though. Everyone that has waited on has been great. They have never messed up my order. I will only be going here in Gainesville for coffee

I stopped by here for the first time in probably years and I dont know why I ever stopped coming- awesome coffee and good service! I enjoyed one of their special lattes for the month which involved blueberry and white mocha and it was a decadent treat :) . This place has been around since before I was an undergrad in 2008 and Im so happy its still around despite Gainesville developing as fast as it is. Its honestly a classic local haunt, and for good reason with their delicious, varied coffee specialties and baked goods. Coffee Culture will definitely be getting my business whenever Im in the area!

This is possibly the best coffee place in all of Gainesville. It has a very cozy atmosphere that is perfect for bringing your laptop and studying, either to warm up in a cold rainy day, or to seek some refreshment from the hot Florida days.The coffee is perfect every-time and offers such a much better value than Starbucks. The staff is very attentive and friendly, and always remembers my order as Im a regular (my favorite is Black Chocolate Mocha).

Coffee is roasted just right (not over-roasted) and the brownies and cookies are excellent. Laid-back and unpretentious. One of the top three coffee places in Gainesville

Pretty good lattes. The drinks only come in a paper cups and and the forks are plastic. Its more of a to-go place.

Coffee was good, the lady taking my order was very short with me and seemed annoyed. Showed up a few minutes before chose on Sun. 11th so I understand it was annoying to recurve an order but still. Daytime crew seems a lot nicer.

Great staff, very friendly. Not a lot of parking space, but they do have different sitting options inside. Ive gone at different times of the day and Ive been able to find a place to sit. Good atmosphere to work on things! Coffee is good, nothing to complain about. The season flavors are nice as well. It isnt cheap or expensive, I would say its average price compared to other coffee places in the area.

CC should not have a 4.7. People dont know what coffee is...Coffee quality: 1 out of 5.Customer service: 2 out of 2Environment: 2 out of 3 (because of this I tend to go here sometimes nonetheless)Would be a 5 out of 10 (2.5 stars), but since theyre way higher than they should be, Im giving them a 2.Better coffee shops in order: Pascals, Concord, Volta, CYM, Karma Cream, Curia, Wyatts, Opus, HECK EVEN HARPERS CORNER (which is right by Coffee Culture), Maudes, and Bella Cafe in a literal hospital.TLDR: only go when in a fix.Response to owner: thanks for spell check. Hope you guys do well in this tough time.

Review №63

Nice enough environment and clean all around. Luv the old time hand dryers, and decor. Has desktops for those needing internet access. Good selection of hot/cold coffee and teas. Even a few created coffees. The Berry Springer (white mocha and raspberry) is delightful. Variety of different forms of milks for those not wanting dairy. 2 gripes though keep this from being higher on the list. When the manager is away the service, attitude and professionalism go quickly down the drain. I get its young adults working here, but there is a decorum when working customer service. Lastly the temp of the hot drinks are lackluster. I doubt if the the temps reach 90°. Each time I go it takes 3x asking to get the temp marginally right.

The staff is on point and friendly. Weve been going here for years and have never been let down. Quality ingredients and taste in a choice of atmospheres. The front area is ideal for study and groups. The back area is more casual with lounge chairs and chess. The outdoor seating is ideal for quiet discussions without eavesdroppers. We use it to pretend were meeting in secret and business negotiations.

I love Coffee Culture, it is the coffee shop that I go to and it is the Coffee Shop that I will continue to go do, and there are many reasons for this. First off you have to do coffee well, and this they do at a really good price. Second is you have to have a decent fun setup and they exceed at this as well.In the back they have cumphy chair where its a quiet area. And in the front they have nice tables wrapped around with windows so you can see the outside.But what makes the place the best to me is the people and atmosphere. Even though they are SUPER BUSY all the time with a drive-through and walk ins, everyone there is so friendly and nice that it really makes you feel that this is your place and that you are just as much a part of things as anyone that works there.I started going there for the decent coffee, but I keep going there for the awesome staff.I am adding this to my review and asking that Coffee Culture staff -->PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS EVERY WEEK DAY AROUND 3-5p THEY ALMOST NEVER BUY ANYTHING, FILL UP THE PLACE, AND ARE SUPER LOUD.Me and plenty of friends simply avoid going to Coffee Culture when we think that the place is going to be full of these kids.I have been going to Coffee Culture since it opens, and its never been as bad as recently.

This place has great coffee! I tried a leftover latte which had I believe apple, vanilla and caramel. WOW. It was perfect! Also, another customer recommended the guava cheese oat bar. Not something I would normally try but it was AMAZING. I highly recommend this coffee shop. Fun baristas and atmosphere!

The coffee is brewed to perfection and they have many vegan pastry options. They typically run out of the vegan pastries, since they are delicious and well known, so visit early and often. ;-)I take my kid and dog there, so I leave the dog outside for a minute to order and then they will bring the coffee to us outside, so we dont have to leave the dog alone again. These guys are extremely cool. They also have a drive-through that works very well and fast.

Review №92

I have only visited Coffee Culture once, but I was impressed with the flavor, quality, and price of my medium black iced coffee. I will be visiting in the future. Pricing is only slightly higher (by cents) than chains like Dunkin and Panera, but the premium is to support local business during this time of economic uncertainty and to receive a tasty cup of quality coffee. Customer service was good, and the girl and effeminate bearded man at the drive-thru were working hard and demonstrated a desire to reduce waste by offering me a Raspberry Mocha of which they produced an extra one by mistake.

We have never heard of this place before and I took my boyfriend there as a surprise and we.were surprised of how amazing this little shop was! Super relaxing and chill to sit at. The coffee was amazing! You have to try the Chewbacca coffee yall. Out of this galaxy. Overall, way better than Starbucks and worth going there.
