Reviews
This is such a cute and feel-good café! If I lived in Ocala, I'd definitely be a regular here just from the wholesome energy it gives off. The coffee and food were delicious as well!
The items my boyfriend and I ordered that we REALLY enjoyed:
-Iced Nutty Indulge Latte and the Sunrise Breakfast Burrito
-Iced Cinnamon Dulce Latte with Oat Milk and the Pesto Breakfast Sandwich
Enjoyed our turkey paninis today. Had lunch at 1:30 and coffee was not hot enough. Nice, clean restaurant with pleasant staff. A bit pricy.
Tasty food served by friendly staff in downtown Ocala. The breakfast can be a little pricey as compared to the usual breakfast spot, but this is not your usual breakfast spot.
Our breakfast group of 5 stopped in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning in August of 2023. Our food was ready quickly and accurately and the employees working were very helpful and offered up some good suggestions on what to eat.
Most of us opted for one of the Best breakfast options which come with a side and are priced at $9.99 each. The biscuits and gravy are highly recommended by our group as well.
Very nice place and location. Very attentive staff. However, for my taste buds, I found that the food we ordered was lacking flavor. Everything was just too bland for our liking. Tomato bisque was a bit watery and acidic. Soup was steaming but not hot 🤷♀️ The sandwiches we ordered were just ok. Eggs and bacon were cold on my toast. Not planning to go back. Coffee was good.
I recently visited The Gathering Cafe for the first time and instantly loved the cozy atmosphere.
I wanted to try their vegan nest but they were sadly sold out of them. The staff recommended the vegan burrito, which I’m glad I got.I also got the dairy free blueberry muffin and they were both absolutely delicious.
I highly recommend The Gathering Cafe to anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming environment.
This place is 5 stars across the board! I love seeing small businesses expand, and their new location is stunning. I appreciate the well thought out menu, and the environment is extremely uplifting. Michelle is a gem! Hold on to that one. 😊
Wow! I decided to come out and try a new place and i was not disappointed. Kind staff and a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. I had the Careot mango smoothie with tomato soup and a Gliten Free panini! Very very delicious!!!
I was overwhelmed with emotion when I discovered this place was openly Christian. In todays world, that is just something you never see and I thought it was truly beautiful and refreshing☀️ I absolutely will be coming back
The new location is so cool and has a lot of seating. The coffee specials are way too sweet in my opinion (and I say that as someone who LOVES sweet drinks), but the pastries and food are delicious. Symmetry or Juniper are the places for great coffee. Come to this place for the food and ambiance, not necessarily high quality and delicious drinks.
Another side note, the past location was dog friendly, but this location was not. Unfortunately, my dog and I had to chill outside as we waited and we ate/drank at the square in Ocala, which is a 4 minute walk.
Still giving 5 stars, and sending all the love and support to this small business. 😊
