    Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos
    Xavier S.

    This was a very nice breakfast, and brunch area. it was a nice vibe around, but overall the food stood out the most. The food was very good !! i honestly don't think i've had better bacon before. We did have two waiters from the beginning and then they both stopped coming to the table, but it was said there was confusion on whose table it was. Either way the food was definitely worth a try !

    Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash and Whole Grain Artisanal Bread toast. SO GOOD!

    The food is AMAZING! If we lived nearby this would be our regular breakfast place. We'll definitely be back.

    Free coffee while I wait

    My sister recommended this spot for brunch and wow, I'm so glad she did. It was AMAZING!!!!! I was thankful we could put our name on the list so when we arrived on Mother's Day, we didn't have to wait long. They gave me a free coffee while I waited. Our server was fast and friendly! I ordered the shrimp and grits and LOVED it! The morning meditation drink was great. I tried what my sisters ordered and everything was fresh and tasty! I can't wait to go back.

    Monterey club
    Maria V.

    I showed up around 8 and was seated immediately there was no wait. Our server( Mendoza- Santiago) was friendly and very attentive. Our food 10/10 I got the Monterey club with fruit and my husband got steak and eggs hash and he rated it 9/10. Definitely would go back to try their mint mocha that they currently have. The environment was friendly and calm definitely a great place to have brunch and catch up with friends.

    Strawberry French toast

    Love the place! I always get the breakfast tacos or the biscuits and gravy meal. This time I got the tacos. They were so good. My husband got the strawberry French toast off of the "summer menu". Water comes out in a carafe for the table with small glasses, no ice. Decor is inviting and nice for a brunch place.

    Hands down the best coffee and breakfast spot in Gainesville!…read more We've lived in Gainesville for a while and have tried all the new coffee shops that have popped up around the Square recently. While the new spots are fine, we decided to revisit Inman today. In my opinion, they're still the best coffee shop in town. First, the coffee quality is on another level. You can really taste the pride they take in selecting their beans. I ordered the "Fresh Start" latte with coconut milk, and it was easily the best latte I've had in Gainesville. They have the most impressive selection of non-dairy options I've seen. Most places only carry oat or almond, so finding coconut milk was a huge win for me. They also have a massive coffee menu with specialty items I haven't seen elsewhere, like a Breve! My husband got an iced mocha and a panini and absolutely loved both. Second, the food menu is incredible, especially if you have dietary restrictions. I have gluten and dairy sensitivities, and usually, my options are limited. Inman has the biggest gluten-free menu in the area--GF muffins, brownies, and actual GF bread options. I got the avocado toast on gluten-free bread topped with scrambled eggs. The bread was delicious (not cardboard-like at all!), the avocado was fresh, and the eggs were perfect. If you've been distracted by the newer shops, do yourself a favor and go back to Inman. Between the extensive menu, the high-quality coffee, and the dietary options, they are beating the competition by a mile.

    1 thing i don't like is when places don't give out recommendations, specially if you can tell im…read morenot a regular. Anyway, cute lil corner spot. Never really feel welcomed but its whatever, i only come here when i dont have time to drive to a GOOD coffee shop. I figured they had cold foams now so my iced caramel macchiato tastes better this time.
