Meadowlark Coffee in Gainesville - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

the best coffee in gainesville and some of the best in georgia. just wish there was more space to sit.

Best coffee shop vibes in Gainesville! Great selection of pastries and coffee as well!

What a GEM in Gainesville. There are three coffee shops within eyesight of this place and done bother with the others. The selection of beans for drinks in the shop and to go are incredible. Black and White, Brandywine and many others sitting on the shelf with fresh roasting dates dying to go home with you. I was so shocked but so pleased to see such a shop here.

This is the best coffee in Gainesville, hands down. JP, does a great job of creating special drinks and crafting all the expected drinks. Everything is so good, I usually tell the barista to surprise me. Many friends have worked here and I have gained many friends from going so often. Truly a place I hold dear to my heart. A great place for a date or to catch up with some old friends.

My husband and I always stop at Meadowlark when we pass by Gainesville. The shop is so cute and the drinks I’ve tried are delicious and unique! I especially love the campfire latte!

Great coffee! Tried the passion fruit matcha this trip. Different…but really good- not super sweet.

Super cool shop with SUPER good coffee. And the best range in coffee beans. Big fan!

I travel all over the country as a touring musician and am a huge coffee fan. This place has espresso that's on par with some of the best I've ever had! Order it for here and get a sparkling water with your spro.

best espresso drinks in the area for sure! their lattes and cortado are just great! good job

Lovely coffee spot in downtown Gainesville! Parking is a bit hard to come by on a Wednesday at 11A as there was movie crews out and a lot of taken street parking. However, there’s a free parking garage for downtown if you don’t mind a brisk walk to the shops! Meadowlark had the nicest employees and service. I got the cappuccino with salted caramel flavoring and it was delicious. They also have specialty lattes to choose from as well. Very comfortable atmosphere with a few tables and bar stools for seating.

Love this coffee shop in downtown Gainesville!

This might be the best coffee and pastry shop we've ever been to. Excellent espresso and lattes. Ordered a seasonal latte with Earl grey syrup, and requested a macchiato with a "whisper of milk," which they hilariously indulged us and wrote on the cup. I can't remember where the owner told us they source their pastries from (small bakery in Atlanta) but we tried 4 different pastries and they were all incredible. Best bagels we've ever had, the chocolate banana muffin was delicious, and the lemon blueberry marzipan pastry was amazing. The shop itself has a couple small tables and lush green plants everywhere. Very cozy. We're sad we don't live in Gainesville. Highly recommend.

Best quality coffee ever! The best coffee shop I’ve ever been to.

My favorite coffee shop ever. The coffee flavors and selections they have are incredible and I’ve never had a bad coffee from there. The shop itself is so adorable and cozy, it feels like the perfect spot to slow down for a break. The owners, JP and Sommer, are so nice as well. You can definitely see the love and passion they have for their shop. I always enjoy every part of my experience when I stop by. Thank you Meadowlark!

The nicest place run by the nicest people. For sure a great spot to connect, in this warm and friendly community.

It's tiny, but adorable! The coffe was outstanding, and they make their own syrups.

THE. BEST. COFFEE. Grab your friends and GO!! My husband and I tend to see ourselves as coffee connoisseurs and have had coffee all over the world… Meadowlark is in our top two! The quality of the coffee is unmatched and most importantly, they are consistent every time. On top of having the best coffee, everyone is always so kind and welcoming. We are so grateful they are local to us and are so excited to take our love ones here in the future! 🩷☕️👍🏼

Delicious! Warm & welcoming :) highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy place to enjoy a cup of coffee

My favorite coffee shop in GA! The staff is so welcoming and friendly, and the owner's expertise in coffee is shown through the awesome selection of beans from across the US and beyond. Their seasonal drinks are so thoughtful and incorporate amazing homemade syrups. Pastries are delivered fresh each morning, and the cinnamon roll is out of this world! I recently attended one of JP's cupping classes and it was a great way to meet new people, try some coffees I probably would have never tried on my own, and learn more about coffee in general. 10/10 recommend if you are in the area!

Best espresso I've had in a while. Fruity and juicy...It was great. Also had the apple turnover and it was also very good. Gainesville is lucky to have such a good coffee shop in their city.

Been meaning to write a review for a while now--Meadowlark is such a wonderful coffee shop with the BEST coffee and staff. My personal favorite was their seasonal chocolate orange latte. Definitely the best coffee in the area!

4.5 | very cool ambiance and really good coffee. had a drip and cortado, my friends had an americano and a latte. we all really enjoyed the flavor and the preparation. solid spot and would definitely put this high on the list of coffee spots in Gainesville. service was also rlly great! cute coffee shop with all the fixings of a coffee connoisseur. they had sey, black and white, and other great bean selections. we’ll be back next time we’re in town.

Great place! Small town welcoming vibes

This is the best coffee shop I've been to in Georgia! I ordered a latte with their peach fermented beans. I watched the barista/owner froth the milk into the perfect velvety texture, and knew I was in for a treat. The espresso was perfectly extracted! Knowing how fantastic the coffee is here, I would've ordered a cortado. I'm so excited to find a excellent coffee shop and can't wait to go back. Service was execeptional, pricing was great, and the espresso is served with carbonated water (if you know, you know).

I'm elated that there is finally a coffee shop in Gainesville making coffee of this caliber. Boasting natural process coffees on the espresso menu and delivering attentive customer service is more than enough to earn my favoritism, but JP's latte art sealed the deal. A big thank you to everyone at Meadowlark and I look forward to visiting again soon!

My husband and I stopped as we were traveling through Gainesville, GA. The couple running the place were very friendly and the service was great. My husband had the Columbian house drip, and I had the Peach Latte. Both were very delicious, high quality, and we would would recommend. We also got a loaf of sourdough bread to munch on during our travels. They were kind enough to slice it up for us. We will definitely come back if we are in Gainesville, GA again.

I was in town recently for a wedding and Meadowlark gave me the much needed jumpstart every morning! Awesome vibes inside the shop, super friendly and helpful staff and delicious coffee. Although there was a bit of a mixup/delay with an online merch order I made, they were quick to apologize, offer a refund and still overnight me the merch after I reached out. Keep being awesome!

Meadowlark continues to surpass all my expectations. In addition to the best espresso drinks I’ve ever had they are now offering homemade syrup that can be taken home and added to my morning latte. I’m also addicted to the homemade fresh sourdough bread they sell. To top it off, Meadowlark has managed to attract the friendliest most talented baristas I’ve met.

Best coffee shop on the square!

Great coffee and a friendly staff

Great coffee! Small little place with a cute environment

Absolute best coffee in Gainesville and I’ve been to all the other shops around. If you want a truly good, luxury tasting latte - go here!!! Nothing beats this place and their service is great!! The lattes are the best I’ve ever had!!!

We splurged for the Campfire latte yesterday! This was super fancy and one of the best coffees I've ever had. Thank you!

Can’t say enough good things about this place. Such a sweet place and high quality coffee!

The staff where extremely friendly! And the drinks and pastries were amazing!!!

Great coffee. Even better people! I highly recommend!!

We love Meadowlark Coffee! It is such a great addition to downtown Gainesville. The coffee and pastries are delicious! Always try to make it to this coffee shop if we are in the area. Would recommend to all our friends!

This place is such a vibe for me. It’s literally the coziest little coffee shop on the planet. Amazing coffee and atmosphere. Time seems to slow down when you step inside, in the best way. My fav order: Cinnamon cardamom iced oatmilk latte. 🤎

Beautiful, enjoyable & relaxing coffee shop

Neighborhood like place with good strong espresso. Cant ask for much more

Service and hot coffee are great, for any more complicated drinks go elsewhere. Scuzzy, bitter cold brew was horrible.

Perfect cappucino and super friendly baristas!

We ordered a Lungo… it's a long espresso ☕️… and it was fantastic! The service is incredible, it is a small place but big in smell and flavor. I recommend it 💯% if you are visiting the heart of Gainesville, GA. Fantastic Coffee ☕️ Wonderful Service 🫶🏻 Amazing experience 🤩

This place is small, but does have a few tables to you to sit and chat at. I really enjoy the flavor of the espresso and the in-house made syrups are fantastic!

Awesome coffee shop! They have a great selection of drinks and flavors! They are a really cool vibe! They also have a good selection of bagged coffee to take home! Highly recommended!

Super cute little coffee shop. Espresso was excellent, and the workers were very friendly!

Great little shop. Coffee was excellent. Presentation was perfect. Atmosphere is very relaxing and chill.

A very cute cafe. It felt really good there, and the coffee was delicious. Thank you for the welcoming !

It has been a pleasant experience, staff are beyond friendly, service is spectacular, coffee is freshly brewed and cookies were delicious, they also offer multiple options of drinks. Stop by and give it a try!

An oatmilk cardamom latte here before going paddle boarding is just what we needed. JP and the staff was extremely friendly and the home made syrups were delicious!

Top notch coffee made by top notch people

Meadowlark is a consistent stop. The folks are friendly, the coffee is great, and the owner knows his craft to a tee.

Stopped by Meadowlark for the first time today. Very impressed with the attention to detail with their spro, drip coffee, and overall setup. Coffee beans for purchase are some of the best. The shop isn’t large by any means but, seems to have just the right amount of everything needed to be the best coffee shop in Gainesville. If you have time and are driving through Gainesville and appreciate good coffee(by that, I mean great coffee), you should stop in! 👍. JP and the staff seem to love what they do! We were glad we stopped in today.

This place is aesthetically pleasing! I ordered the matcha latte with vanilla syrup & it was great , it was prepared fast too! In order to sit down inside (there are only 3 tables) we had to wait for people to leave but there is additional seating outside! I did appreciate the candles they have for sale they smelled so so good!

This is the cutest coffee shop with the sweetest little ambiance. The barista recommended their made in house salted caramel syrup & it was so yummy! It’s cozy inside with 2 small tables & lots of pretty plants- I loved it here!

Excellent quality coffee, JP is passionate about every cup he serves.

Great experience! I got the Peruvian coffee, black. It tasted sweet and light, a very good coffee. Catherine and Reece, the two people behind the counter, were both so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend checking this place out. A cute environment, and it's right in downtown, making it perfect for a cup to go with a short stroll around the block.

Great coffee and knowledgeable baristas.

New Coffee shop in Gainesville. So quaint. Loved meeting the owner and his wife. Such sweet people

While I love this little shop, I was a little confused on my recent visit. The menu said $5.50 for what I ordered. It rang up $6.50. I had to run to my car for the additional money (as I wanted to leave a tip) when I came back (literally 5 min later) I was rung up again and it was 7.50 something. Not sure what happened.

Absurdly good coffee! I would recommend the Americano & drip coffee to anyone. JP & Sommer are really friendly, as is the whole staff. 5 stars, no question.

Lovely downtown coffee shop. The coffee and pastries are delicious and the staff is great.

Great!! Don’t miss out on this place.

Their coffee is amazing and the staff are so kind

Best coffee shop in Gainesville IMHO. The coffee beans rotate frequently and they're always good. Drip coffee or espresso drink options, as well as different teas. The baked goods are from a bakery in Athens and are delicious. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. A welcome addition to downtown Gainesville.

I stopped by this morning to grab some beans for the house. Nice spot and I look forward to coming back again.

Best coffee in town! I recommend the iced latte with lavender. Customer service is always excellent.

Hands down, the BEST coffee + sweetest little shop in Gainesville! Not only is it in the perfect location on the downtown square, not only is it decorated so cute & cozy, not only does it serve only the freshest, most incredible types of coffee from around the world (literally) … but it is family owned and operated by some of the sweetest humans this world has. Everyone working here is so kind and helpful in teaching you about the different types of coffee beans sold and served here and everything is incredibly delicious! My husband and I are officially new regulars here and cannot wait to come back ASAP to try everything on the menu & bring home different brands of coffee beans to enjoy at home, too! Thank you Meadowlark Coffee!

This place is amazingly great! The cortado is amazing (I'm not a purist, I like a dash of cinnamon on top of mine) and the staff is even better!

Top notch! I lived in both Seattle, WA and Los Angeles; I am an avid coffee drinker and can say with confidence in my experience that Meadowlark has exceptional coffee at par with both of these cities. This is the best quality coffee on the square and they use organic dairy! This was a big plus for me since almost no one takes into consideration the quality of dairy in their coffee drinks. I appreciated that I could choose to put a lid on my coffee instead of being forced to have the plastic. This is now my regular coffee spot when I'm out on the square. Thank you for an enjoyable experience and delectable drinks. I bought a flat white breve and a matcha breve, both were velvety and drinkable right away! (Not scalding, perfectly hot)

The best coffee in Gainesville and the surrounding area!! The vibe and the quality are impeccable. Try the cappuccino

Hands down best coffee in town! Not to mention best staff and owners…you won’t regret stopping in!

Best cappuccino in Gainesville. Made correctly. Yummy chocolate chip cookie too.

Love this sweet place. Calm and soothing and the coffee is really, really good. Highly recommend. Finally, the owners are fantastic hard-working individuals who really know their coffee!❤️

You can always judge a good coffee shop by its Cappuccino and Meadowlark has been 10 for 10, absolute 5 Star, A+++ on all my visits.

Wow, this might just have been the best americano I’ve ever had. Almost tasted like drinking chocolate, perfect temp, friendly service. We were on a 2 hour road-trip down I-85 back to the airport and we’re just looking for somewhere to grab a quick cup that wasn’t Starbucks. I’m still dreaming about this coffee! Yum.

Visiting home for the holidays and I never seem to have good luck with coffee around here, and being a barista myself, I am very picky about my coffee and how its made. I was very impressed by this place! The baristas are properly trained and don't burn the milk! The espresso is great and I was so happy they offered oat milk.

The best coffee & service! Always love a trip to meadowlark!

I’m absolutely thrilled that this beautiful little coffee shop has sprouted up in Gainesville. It’s premium by any standard without any uppity vibes. Staff is friendly, space is clean, atmosphere is calm and the coffee is incredible- both flavor and presentation. Gainesville has waited a while for a coffee nook of this calibre and at last it’s here, right downtown off the square. Happy day ✨

Stopped here on our way back to Minnesota and oh my goodness it was amazing :) Staff was so so so friendly and they showed so much knowledge and passion for coffee! The small cozy vibes were immaculate! So many smiles! DEFINITELY A GO TO SPOT FOR SPECIALTY COFFEE!!! I wish you all the best of luck! You’re doing amazing things and we will definitely stop by again if we find ourselves anywhere near the area :) Thank you <3

What a lovely little coffee shop - delicious latte, amazing cinnamon roll, and the friendliest service. Such a treat first thing in the morning.

Such a beautiful coffee shop! Incredible coffee and extremely sweet baristas!!!

Amazing coffee and people! Their coffee selection from drip to espresso to retail is impressive. The pastries are great too.

O-M-Goodness!!! Yessss! 🙌🏻 Love it, love it, love it

I'm so glad that Gainesville finally has a spot with quality coffee. It beats all other options in the city by far. Whether you're an occasional coffee drinker or a coffee connoisseur, you won't be disappointed if you visit here. Staff is great and friendly as well!

Coffee was fantastic, try the Chai too. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable.

Beautiful coffee and beautiful space!!!!

The coffee and bakery items are excellent and the interior is super cozy and inviting! Love this place!!

Love Meadowlark Coffee! The owners are wonderful! The coffee is superb! I love that the coffee is organic and has no bitter aftertaste.

Best coffee in Gainesville by a MILE. Pastries are delicious too. This will be my new go-to spot in the mornings.

Friendly staff and great coffee! Will be coming back for sure.

The best coffee and tea made by the most incredible people! Don’t even get me started on the croissants and breads - I will be a regular for life at Meadowlark. So thankful the McKenzies are sharing this gift with us!

Incredible spot! The team here has attention to detail in every aspect of their craft. Espresso is dialed in all day, the bites are delicious, and the people are why you want to stay and chat all day. I will have many, many lattes here over the next 7 decades.

What a lovely coffee shop! Stopped in this morning to check out what Meadowlark had to offer. Discovered a thoughtful menu with a variety of coffees from classic drip to espresso, Americano, Cortado and cappuccino. Try yours with a delicious syrup - mocha, salted caramel, lavender, honey rosemary and of course, pumpkin spice this time of year! The cappuccino with honey rosemary was an earthy, frothy delight with just the right sweetness. There is matcha, chai and kombucha as well as hot or iced teas - both herbal and caffeinated. My steamy mint tea was warming and perfectly brewed. Don’t miss the delightful fresh pastries. My pumpkin pecan galette was flaky, buttery perfection and the chocolate chip cookie (definitely a grown up cookie that would be perfect to munch with a creamy cappuccino) was full of chocolate chunks. Meadowlark staff were very friendly and efficient, moving through a line of customers with smiles and getting everyone’s drinks together as a team. We took our items to go. Indoor seating is at a premium with just two tables. So, grab your drinks before you head out to explore the Square! Will definitely be back to try their matcha soon - and get the savory caramelized onion galette - yummm!
