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.

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. 😊

From the moment you walk into this place you can feel the Holy Spirit and God’s presence. The staff is very friendly , the food is made from scratch ( which is the best way to have it) , the lattes are delicious and I enjoy reading the messages on the cups . No matter what someone is going through those Godly inspirations speak measures. I do not know any other coffee shop that puts this much needed twist on each cup they serve. Everything they serve , they serve with LOVE. I will ALWAYS tell people about this place . Thank you to you Sarah and your amazing staff . I’m so glad God has blessed Ocala with such a business as this. ✝️❤️ I pray there is more Gathering Cafes across the nation! Claiming it already!

What a great start to the day. We had the Nest with Sausage and Gravy and 2 orders of the Everything Toast. Coffee was nice strong! The flavors were great, the service was friendly and the vibe was peaceful but vibrant. Loved the Bible verses and unashamed proclamation of their faith in their business. We will definitely be back!

Warm and friendly atmosphere + staff. The hashbrown “nests” are crazy good… I got the broccoli melt and I think I could’ve eaten ten of them! Excited to come back with company and try more items from the menu. Highly recommend as a quick healthy breakfast.

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.

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.

Best cafe in town. Love their new location it is very beautiful with the same delicious quiche. Great healthy options and healthy sides! Why go to starbucks when you can support a local business with amazing service and coffee!!

Nice little place for lunch. Cool old building. Kind of like a Panera/Starbucks type menu.

Awesome place to just sit and talk with a friend. Love the atmosphere and the coffee is even better. Will absolutely be going back and bringing some more friends! 😁

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.

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. 😊

This place is great; We had our team meeting there! Easy access. The food and coffee was amazing! We will be back.

Loved the ambience, peaceful atmosphere, staff was super sweet will continue to come here as often as possible and recommend to my church
