From our beloved regulars
I absolutely love this cafe! The coffee and tea served is of very high quality and tastes amazing. I recommend getting the matcha and chai lattes here! I also love that they serve Luke's Bagels. As for the service, the employees are amazing!! Brad is the sweetest and deserves a raise! Aside from making delicious drinks, he has a very contagious positive attitude. I have heard him make meaningful conversation with almost all the customers that have come to pick up their drinks/food. He also provides amazing customer service by picking up after the customers as we work at the tables and asking us about our day. Brad is the best!!
Their menu is focused on coffee, but they do have some muffins and other pastries. The person at the register was very attentive and nice. They have plenty of seating available to bring your laptop and there were several people taking advantage of that.
5 stars Daydreamer Coffee is hands down one of the best cafés in Gainesville! The space is absolutely stunning — beautifully decorated with a light, airy, and modern aesthetic that instantly makes you feel inspired and relaxed. It’s huge, so there’s plenty of room to spread out and get work done or catch up with friends. The coffee is just as amazing as the atmosphere. I had a latte that was perfectly balanced and full of flavor — you can really tell they care about quality here. The staff was kind and welcoming, and the entire experience was just top-tier. Whether you’re a student looking for a place to study, someone meeting a friend for a chat, or just in need of a delicious coffee in a gorgeous setting, Daydreamer is a must-visit in Gainesville!
Great coffee shop and loved my experience. I came for a cup of coffee to-go and stayed because for the warm, welcoming, and positive environment. Shoutout to Brad and the crew! Food/Coffee was great with unique selections and the shop is beautiful. I look forward to stopping by again next time visit Gainesville.
Beautiful coffee shop! I like to ride motorcycles to coffee shops and this one did not disappoint! Ordered the hot rose latte and it was one of the best I’ve had. The staff were so kind and even got me a sticker for my helmet. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
Brad is AMAZING. He makes this very aesthetic coffee shop so welcoming . He asks you how your day is and even walks around the cafe to ask how everything is. Will definitely become a regular here!!
I wish there were a few more bakery options. Also, it’s a bit unusual that they close for an hour around 2:00 PM. Lastly, the coffee prices could have been a bit more affordable.
Okay, but like the coffee is actually really good! For someone like me who is really picky about coffee, I’m impressed! The atmosphere and seating is super cute, recommend! Bought just an iced latte, it was good!
10/10 recommend. Classy, elegant, sophisticated and the list goes on. Even though the atmosphere was jaw dropping beautiful Brandon/Brad was the highlight! He is extremely inviting, kind and conversational. He’ll make the business flourish with the light he shares.
We found Daydream Coffee in Gainesville on Google and decided to give it a try, and we’re glad we did. The atmosphere is really cool with a modern, clean design that makes it a great spot to relax or get some work done. The coffee was excellent—smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We also ordered a couple of bagels and a muffin, and everything tasted fresh and high quality. On top of that, the service was friendly and efficient, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place we’d come back to and recommend to anyone in the area looking for great coffee and a welcoming vibe.
