The Gathering Cafe - Cinnamon dulce latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocala, Florida

This is a great space, with an open floor plan and lots of natural light. It can be loud - we ate downstairs because it was a little bit quieter. It's great to be in a busy cafe, but some sound absorbing materials would help. I had a chai latte, ham and cheese panini, and a cinnamon roll. The chai was tasty but a little bit too sweet. That's a tough balance to get right, and I suspect it's perfect for lots of folks. The cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting is tasty, but the textures weren't my favorite. It was too bread-like for me - I would love to see more layers, lamination, or even just a crusty exterior. The ham and cheese panini flavors were great, but there was too much ham. I appreciate the generosity but the ham stayed cold in the hot sandwich. Less ham would be easier to heat, and would be a tastier presentation. The layout and menu are great, it's a great location, and they were busy when I visited, so I am sure they will work out the kinks over time. read more

This place has awesome breakfast options; the quiche was superb and the coffee is too. The atmosphere is a definite blessing!

This place is everything you can imagine it to be and some! Ample parking makes the start of your journey a breeze. Walking inside it is so cute, the staff is very friendly and everything is bright, open and clean. I ordered an iced cinnamon dulce coffee which was made perfect! Had to order one of their huge cinnamon rolls and had the grilled cheese on sourdough with bacon. I will definitely be back. Everything is priced reasonable, service is fantastic and the food and coffee is delicious!!! read more

Delicious sandwich is popping with flavor. Bacon ordered extra crispy was perfect. This is now one of my favorite breakfast meal. Finished with the strawberry/cream cheese danish, wow! read more

The Gathering Cafe - Pesto bagel sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocala, Florida

I have never had a bad experience here. Their coffee is my favorite, but the food is very good and always fresh.

My friend and I stayed till they closed--we loved the ambience! The coffee and food we had were excellent, and we were really impressed by how helpful the staff was. read more

Everything about this place is AMAZING except there isn't one in my hometown!! Please bring a Gathering Cafe to Nashville!

The food had a very good taste however the crust was a little tough and vegan egg was a little rubbery, which made it taste not so good. Would I recommend what I had again? Would I recommend the restaurant? Yes, very quaint and cute place. Sign outside the door was too small very small atmosphere and the cleaning of the restaurant was very good.. read more

Please open one in Wesley Chapel Fl. We need more Christian business with goodness and God word! Well done!

My husband and I were traveling from PA to Bonita Springs FL and made a point to stop for an afternoon cappuccino. We had visited a few coffee shops before we landed at The Gathering Cafe. Hands down, the smoothest espresso we'd had. The cafe was clean and bright. The owner was pleasant and inviting. read more

My brother and I came here for breakfast based on Yelp reviews, and it didn't disappoint. We had coffee and a caramel latte, a breakfast "nest" with bacon, a kind of sriracha wrap, a gluten-free blueberry muffin and cinnamon roll, and we devoured it all like piranhas. It was homey and delicious. There is so much to choose from in the pasty case and they make like 20 different lattes. The owner is so friendly and chatted with us. We'd love to come back here again. Yes, it's $$, so it's a little more pricey than other places, but I think it's worth it. Enjoy! read more

I can't believe that this place isn't as well known as it should be! I really like what they did with the space, feels open and comforting. All of their drink options sound so good but I decided on the cinnamon dolce and my friend got the honey matcha latte (I think). I had the butter croissant and she had the Nutella, both were very good. The one and only complaint I have is that it was a little pricey, however, I love supporting small businesses so that is alright with me! I think next time I will try a cinnamon roll, they looked really good! If you've been thinking about trying this place out, then go for it, you won't be disappointed. read more

The Gathering Cafe - Iced lattes and croissants - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocala, Florida

In a town of fast food, dry food and just plain YUCK! You are a Diamond in the ruff. Breakfast was Amazing.

frighteningly good capps. friendly fast staff. food is good. didn't get to try pastries. Like many restaurants the resting noise level is incredibly loud. Around 80db. Needs acoustic treatment on the walls and ceiling. read more

Perfect atmosphere for a girls brunch. They serve breakfast and lunch as well as various pastries coffee, tea, smoothies etc. The interior is very pretty, clean and bright. We enjoyed cappuccinos, hummus/avocado toast, and blueberry muffins. I would recommend this place over a standard chain coffee option. Just remember it closes at 3pm! read more

What a pleasant surprise! A plant based family traveling through Ocala - we did not expect much of this place... but what a gem! Very cozy and uplifting atmosphere, caring and welcoming staff, delicious food. We've got a fully vegan breakfast read more

This place was an absolute gem. We were heading back from vacation and I wanted something fresh, light add in a coffee for a plus. This place on the outside looked small, but was surprisingly roomy on the inside. My family tried everything from the blueberry muffin (moist, fresh, not too sweet), to the biscuits and gravy (savory melt in your mouth goodness, to the paninis and I had a salad/soup combo. The tomato soup was creamy and full of fresh flavor. It's with driving off the exit a few minutes! The staff was friendly too. read more

such an adorable place! I love that it's religious which gives off a very calming feel. The food and service were amazing too!

What a hidden gem! I must have driven by this place a 100 times and never thought twice about it. My wife and I decided to get breakfast Memorial Day Monday. What a pleasant crew of owners and family that work at the establishment. Everything is clean and bright food is fresh. I am not even sure I can do Justice by trying to explain the food but I will give it a shot. We started with iced latter's that in my opinion were every bit as good as Starbucks. We were extremely pleased to find a vegan option on the breakfast menu, as unfortunately my wife is a vegan. It came in a cup of hash Browns with non dairy eggs and non dairy cheese, sounds gross right?. It was amazing my wife's plate was empty before you knew it. I had the hash Brown cop filled with eggs and and topped with homemade sausage gravy in a nice fresh side of advocato. I'm not sure what more I can say everything was great, food, atmosphere, people. I must also add that the price was extremely reasonable for what we got good fresh food and coffee. I will definitely throw out the word gourmet! It is an absolute gem you must give it a shot! read more

I got the mediterranean toast and it came with barely a tablespoon of avocado (on the menu it says "served on a bed of sliced avocado"). Overpriced and cramped. One egg with hashbrowns and bacon should not be $9+! When we went there was nowhere to sit down and many of the tables were taken by people who were already done eating. Because of the small space, everyone's voices echoed pretty bad making it hard to have a conversation. Portion sizes were really small considering the significant price. Also got the green goodness smoothie which didn't taste right at all and wasn't worth the money either. read more

This is a beautiful atmosphere! The folks that work and run this amazing coffee shop rock! Great service with banging coffee and yup great food!

Very highly recommend this place! I didn't know it was here until a friend suggested we go try out the new cafe in town. I'm all about breakfast and when I saw they had biscuits and gravy I was sold, and they definitely delivered. Super yummy and I got a giant cinnamon roll too...amazing!

Very very sweet and caring people working here, I can't wait for the pandemic to be over so I can go inside it looks so cozy! Definitely try this place out you won't be disappointed read more

The food and ambiance could not have been better! I really enjoyed my creme brulee latte and pesto breakfast sandwich. My only complaint is that I found the price to be very expensive. I paid $20 for my latte and sandwich. Although it was delicious, the prices would keep me from coming back. read more
