    Amazing drinks. I had coffee and it was probably the best coffee I have ever had. Good ol hippie Gainesville atmosphere. If you looking for a wonderful place to get a coffee and other drinks this is a great place to try.

    Incredible atmosphere. Truly love what the owners Brooke and Caleb have created here. They even let our (well trained) dog hangout inside! Extremely friendly with a beautiful, thoughtfully curated space.

    I am so grateful to have been brought to this amazing place. The energy upon entering is just magical. The owners are truly loving humans and the drinks are soul nourishing. I am totally addicted and plan on driving the 1hr+ drive often. Even the bathroom is a magical portal! Definitely recommend this place!

    Always a calm and welcoming atmosphere. If you are into tea, herbal drinks, or a simple cold brew, this is the place for you. They have kombucha on tap, too! Their menu is expansive but not lacking quality. They have opened my eyes and soul to a plethora of new teas through their menu. Additionally, Caleb is very knowledgeable about tea and the nuances of each one they have. My favorite is currently between three- Genmaicha(green tea with a nutty/popcorn flavor twist due to roasted rice kernals), Cha Goa (a resin tea with sticky rice notes), and Grandma Ai's(a black tea with notes of cherrios and apricot). Howl offers great indoor and outdoor space for studying, meetings, remote work, crafting, reading, and chatting with friends. With monthly workshops, community events, and an overall loving and supportive environment, this is one of my favorite places to go. Bluejay/Brooke holds some of the most beautiful, emotional, and spiritual events that help center yourself and connect to the earth. Howl offers body work appointments, though I have not attended any yet. I have heard high praise from others, though! They have some of the most up to date accommodations for individuals with disabilities to access the space in town, as well! Something that I really love and hope to see other buildings implement. 100/10 would recommend.

    It's a cute little tea place that caters to people interested in spiritual practices. They offer services, community gatherings, sell crystals and cards in shop. My daughter LOVES their unicorn tea.

    Visiting Gainesville this is my go-to spot for the tastiest and most creative iced matcha experiences. Beautiful garden to sit in. Brooke and Caleb have put their heart into this place, and it is clearly felt

    One of my favorite spots in Gainesville. Amazing atmosphere and drinks. I often go here to work on projects, and I also meet with my wife and friends here on a regular basis. 😁

    Drink menu is inspired! tea and espresso lattes plus so much more. Unique options curated with love. Healing and so fun to be in the space. Thank you!

    I freakin love this place. Great drinks, great ambiance, lovely indoor and outdoor space, excellent community events, workshops, live music, and well-decorated bathrooms. One of the true gems of town. I love the cacao drinks, and regularly treat myself to a tea flight, a easy fun way to get to know a few different teas on their menu at once.
