    Turkey Club on Marble Rye

    I love this little cafe! The service has always been wonderful and the food is yummy! They now offer curbside pickup which is very easy and convenient, just order online and once at the Church, ring the doorbell and they will pass off your food.

    Arugula & Endive Salad  with dried apple chips, pumpkin seeds, craisins, chopped pecans & goat cheese crumbles.

    Downtown Tally's best-kept secret! Fresh, fabulous food, the BEST mint tea, lovely outdoor tables, fast friendly service, free wi-fi, super reasonable prices. Fresh-baked pita chips, amazing sandwiches, soups & salads. Fantastic desserts. Charming place, everything made from scratch with love and it shows. Best lunch in town. I love this place!

    Delicious sandwich and soup!

    Absolutely amazing. I cannot rave about this place enough. Fran Doxsee is a culinary genius, everything that comes out the kitchen is delectable. There are 4 menus that rotate weekly, plus there are always specials (panini of the week, soups, desserts, etc). The food comes out lightening quick, the staff is really friendly, the atmosphere is great (plus outdoor seating) and free wifi! Just remember that they only take cash or checks (no big deal). What's not to love?!

    Delicious sandwich of the day - grouper BLT - and a side of bean salad

    Power Plant is cute little cafe underneath the Edison, located at Cascades park. It's a place I…read morefrequent on my days off, and last week was my first time dining there since their recent menu flip. That morning I ordered one of my favorites, the lox bagel. I didn't realize that with the new menu changes, ordering a lox bagel meant all assembly required-- by the customer. I received a plastic to-go box with a toasted bagel, a ramekin of cream cheese, a ramekin mixture of capers and onions, and smoked salmon wrapped in a deli sheet. I was puzzled and asked for clarification from a sales associate, as the order was not to-go. I want to stress the fact that there was no negligence whatsoever on the part of the employee-- she's great and always makes my day when I see she's working. However, I find it to be quite a bizarre policy to require a guest to construct their own sandwich. Part of the reason people dine out is to be cared for and have a stress-free morning. It was also a waste of plastic cutlery, as I used a single knife to spread cream cheese and tossed the unneeded fork and spoon. Now while I am proud of my sandwich build and the flavor was good, I was left with fingers that smelled like salmon despite washing my hands multiple times. Not exactly what I was hoping for at 10 am on my day off from working in a restaurant. I understand the fine details of menu flips can be a bit clumsy at first, but I hope management receives this feedback and reconsiders this self-assembly method. I love this place and the atmosphere and staff. The lox bagel experience just didn't hit the mark for me.

    First timer. Looked nice but it has a bar feel to it. Not my cup of tea but I will recommend since…read morethe service was very good.

    First time in Tallahassee and I had to make a quick road trip stop for coffee!…read more Saw that Ology was in a brewery and it piqued my interest! The coffee had very good reviews so I thought I'd give it a try. The menu item names are very creative. Five stars for that. So far loved the vibe. And as far as customer service goes, they were very friendly! I really wanted to try their Rosemary Lavender but sadly they were out of this flavor. I opted for cardamom with oat milk. After the first sip.. I couldn't quite get the cardamom taste. Not with the second, third or fourth. It fell a bit too short for me. Cardamom has a very distinct taste and it was lost in the milk. Just tasted like a regular latte. I had to have more than 12oz (looks like this is their only size) so I also got the cold brew.. but the batch was not as strong as I would prefer. I think it can be better. I'm sadly reminded of the old Keurig days when my coffee would come out tasting extremely diluted but I would still drink to because it was quick and easy. Cold brew is a slow, beautiful and delicate process. This drink did not reflect that awesome cold brew experience. I expect the cold brew from a coffee place to taste much better than what I make at home. No for me Ology. Wish you guys better days though!

Several people were on laptops and others were just enjoying the space. I loved the decor and the barista was extremely kind. He asked what I ordered from other places and the recommended the brown sugar caramel latte. That drink was so good and perfectly relaxation zone. My only regret was getting a 12 oz and not a bigger drink. I'm happy I was able to grab a drink here and plan to return tomorrow.

It had that calm, productive energy where the espresso machine hums like background music and no one feels rushed. Just a chill, focused vibe. I also loved the merch selection. The branding is clean and cool, the kind of gear you actually want to wear instead of toss in a drawer. It adds personality to the space. When I ordered, the cashier didn't just take my order. They helped me craft a cup that matched my taste perfectly. The result was delicious. Creamy, strong, and not overly sweet. It had that bold coffee backbone without overwhelming the flavor. Honestly, I could've gone back for a second cup without hesitation. Great atmosphere, thoughtful service, and a perfectly balanced cup of coffee. It was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely be back for another creamy, strong refill.
