Mosswood Farm Store and Bakehouse in Micanopy - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Beautiful little coffee shop and bakery, love the local shop in the back

Wonderful tasting banana bread! You just cannot make a bad choice as everything is fresh and 😋 tasty! Also, a great bookstore for successful backyard gardening here in Florida. I'm now listening to Joe Pierce of Mosswood teaching us about Permaculture. And the gardens are just beautiful, and a great example of what we all could do with the right knowledge and help!

I’m a regular here. Mosswood is one of those family owned shops where you’d like to go every single day if you could. They keep the menu fresh but with the favorite standby items too (their famous huge brownies, for one)! I never miss a pimento cheese tart when they have them, or anything made from fresh fruit (much of which they grow in the onsite garden)!

What a treasure! Outstanding coffee. Try the guava butter cake. It will blow your mind! Quaint little private seating around back. Really great garden in the back with 20 varieties of banana trees. Old Florida at its best.

Sleepy coffee shop in Micanopy. Delicious!! Try to pecan pie bar or the peanut butter brownie.

Nice big brownies and other pastries. They have organic coffee also. Only downside was lack of parking and service was a bit cold and she seemed annoyed.

Rustic country store ambiance with dome seating on the front porch.

Went for bread.... They only had frozen older loaves available Good place if you're looking for brownies We were NOT

Always love Mosswood. Have been visiting here for years and probably tried everything on the menu. Make sure to order pies here during the holidays as well as homemade toffee.

Good coffee and interesting alternative shop

Pastries and coffee where excellent both days we went. Keep up the good work. Delicious.

THE best coffee in town, & great for a light breakfast.

The best pastries, bread, and coffee around. Pure deliciousness. Mmmmm...

Perfect espresso and incredible baked goods. I’ve had the chocolate brownies and veggie curry papusa. Soooo good. We’re lucky to have this right across from the firehouse!

The flavors coming out of this cute little shop are nothing short of amazing!

Great old time homemade bakery items, coffees and pleasant service. Cozy atmosphere. We took our cappuccinos and enjoyed them outside on their back porch.

Absolutely love this place, the food is decadent and they have the best savory pastries, the spinach and feta is my favorite. I also love that they have golden milk! It’s rare to find a bake shop this good, they also have a little shop of artisanal products like handmade blankets, intense, oh and they carry kombucha;)))

It's a nice place in a very cool town. The space was a little crowded with a line, which will tell you two things: The food is good. People are willing to wait in line for it because it is so good. With that being said, I hardly ever wait in lines, and it was kind of claustrophobic inside. The parking was also somewhat restrictive. The coffee was perfect, and the loaf of bread we bought was top-notch, even if I did have to wait outside on the porch while my spouse bought it.

Called looking for Birthday pie. The lady was busy making wedding cakes. She said to try elsewhere.

Amazing ambiance and caring service. I wanted a coffee but didn’t expect such a great espresso preparation with the most amazing pastries to accompany my Cortado! Variety is great and the menu alone would seem like a lot more items than what the small community would perhaps consume, so applauds for the effort and great experience! Very lovely experience indeed and will come back when in the area. A+++ for service and great coffee and pastries!!!

I had been meaning to stop in this place for awhile now. I finally did today I'm so glad I did.. The fresh baked goods & coffee was amazing.. The Vanilla Caramel macchiato was the best I've ever had. I will definitely be back. Definitely do not miss trying this place.

Had a very good cappuccino. Recommended.

Get there early or you might miss out on all the great food. The Americano coffee was great. The quiche was mostly cold. All the products in the display will be cold not room temp. Great brownies,peach turnover,and a Basil bread loaf. I had been trying for 10 years to stop here. I met the owner's husband in Arcadia,FL at a wild food conference. The owners husband told me about his wood oven and that the Macanopy State Park had wild horses and wild Bison roaming throughout the park. Also there are banana tree growing classes when they have time to teach them.

Had a great espresso here. We also picked up a brownie and a loaf of fresh rye bread to enjoy later. Everything was great!

Love this place. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. I love the baked goods, the local products for sale, the garden in the back, and of course, my usual: the Liquid Truffle. And a brownie to go with it!

On Saturday October 28th my wife and I visited Micanopy for their Fall Festival. We visited Micanopy dozens of times in the past. We like the little shops restaurants and one of our favorites was Mosswood Bakehouse. Sadly, we had a very uncomfortable issue with the owner (he said he was the owner) that day. There was a line to get in since there were 100's of people at the Fall Festival. There was a chair in front patio of the store for an elderly lady to seat while her family was on the line. She did not want to seat so the owner took the chair and put it on the porch. My wife was very tired and said if the lady does not want to seat, I will seat. She proceeded to go to the porch to seat and this man told her she could not seat there and pulled the chair from my wife's hands. My wife almost begged him to let her seat or to let her take the chair down as it was before so she can seat, and he categorically told her no. He said to my wife that she cannot seat there nor use the chair because she was not 80 years old. All this happened in front of everyone that was on the line waiting. It was disrespectful to my wife and I plus very embarrassing for her. We left without buying anything. We have been going to this place for over 10 years because we like their baked goods. The people in the store have always been nice and amicable to us. But this was enough for us not to come back not to recommend this place to anyone.

I stopped by this cute bakery while I was at the Fall Festival. They had a system and were able to help many customers. I ordered the Pecan Pie Bars and I absolutely loved them! They were perfect and I want to go back for more! I also tried the Quiche which I believe was a Broccoli Potato Cheddar. It was really good as well but could have been warmed just a little bit longer. Looking forward to next time!

This place is a unique gem! It’s a short drive from Ocala and a stone’s throw from UF Gainesville. If you’re in the mood of relaxing at a cozy, little coffee shop, this is the place! They have a few stools in the front porch, some tables inside, and a few tables in the back patio. The food and pastries are delicious.

The absolute BEST coconut brownies I’ve ever tasted! So glad I stumbled upon this place and decided to stop. I wonder if they can make me a whole pan and ship them to Texas.

Quaint local place with super coffee.

I really want to love this place. On paper it’s perfect, but the people who work there always seem to wish they were somewhere else. Everything is very expensive. For a country store, they are not very welcoming. They scoff if you bring your kids with you. The coffee is ok. I’ve never bought the pastries because they always have flies on them. They rush you “is that all???” While you’re still browsing as if they want you to leave. Really wish someone else would open a shop in Micanopy with GOOD coffee and a nice attitude.

This place is overdue for a good sage cleanse. Some dark spirits in there making mediocre coffee.

If Rude staff, Overheated coffee, stale attitudes, BLM, Trans and pro abortion garb are your thing, this is the place for you. The vibe in this place is so dense you can cut it with a knife. Overpriced non local items and dusty trinkets scattered on the shelves with no thought behind it. You would think you’re asking them to haul the baked goods from the bottom of a well. “Ugh…anything else”. The guy that’s there is not pleasant. honestly I’ve never been greeted with a smile by anyone that’s been in there. They seem annoyed no matter what I order. I try to read them while i decide so I don’t offend them. Tea? Annoyed. Latte? Annoyed. Soda? Annoyed. It doesn’t matter what you get they don’t want your money. I will wait until someone else opens a local coffee shop in Micanopy.

Great bakery with friendly staff. Very interesting antique setting with excellent bakery products.

Everyone needs to try their brownies and their sourdough bread. Everyone! They also have a beautiful garden that you can walk around and enjoy with your coffee.

A great place to visit in the wonderful town of Micanopy

Stop for a glutenfree snack but none were available.

Great find , good coffee and nice selection of sweet treats ....

Expertly prepared coffee and home made bakery items - fresh, delicious, and pleasant staff - fairly priced for quality provided

A most welcome surprise with exceptional tasty treats.

Very rude staff. My family wife and kids drove 45 minutes to come to this quaint little store l, but when I got there to have a cup of coffee the staff left and went into the back and didn’t come back out even after I asked if anyone was there. So we all left and my kids cried all the way home. Would give zero stars.

What a nice place to have a coffee in Micanopy! You can try their brownies in the backyard but go for the other stuff too. You won’t regret trying the frittata!

Wow, what a cute place out in the country. We went for the fresh sourdough bread. They also have brownies with different types of frostings. Plus, lots of other pastries to choose from. The staff was very friendly and the store is really cool. If you're considering paying them a visit we recommend that you do. You won't be disappointed.

I bought a rosemary sourdough loaf here, and my family loved it. Not too much rosemary and some delicious bits of salt. The bread was exactly what I wanted when paying eight dollars a loaf. I bought some local coffee as well. The shop is wonderful and the staff was on point.

Awesome bakery and cafe with a beautiful banana tree forest out back visible from the outdoor seating. Super nice folks.

Nice place, Great Staff, fantastic products

Good, quality food and coffee. Pleasant service. Beautiful place.

I bought a loaf of sourdough bread on Saturday during the festival. Three days after it was already moldy and I didn't have chance to taste it. Directly to the trash. Like, it was supposed to be fresh (at least good for a week?), but now I doubt.

Best oatmeal, orange, cranberry cookie I have ever eaten. Full of flavor, rich and chewy.

We ordered the iced mocha, passion tea, lemon bar, peanut butter brownie, and a peach turnover. It was all amazing!

The brownies at this store are to die for!!!

Delicious coffee and treats hidden in the quaint little town of Micanopy. A nice dessert after Pearl's Barbecue.

Great little shop of treats! A must-visit in Micanopy. Passionate owners make an array of treats, sweet and savory, on-site and they also have a variety of seasonal fruit which is harvested directly from the trees on the property.

Food taste and coffee 5 stars friendliness and welcome 2.5 we were so excited to come and did not feel Welcome.

We wanted to love this place. Everyone one in town told us we had to try it. When we walked in the lights were off but it was the middle of the day. The two women were talking behind the counter and it felt awkward interrupting them to ask questions. There was another couple in the shop with us that was ordering at the counter so we walked around the other side. Was expecting baked goods or old time candies and stuff. The baked goods counter was empty except for a few brownie bars, a couple of croissants and some packaged big company items. Tea was good 👍 and very refreshing. They didn’t have seating inside or on front porch but rather a very sad and cramped back porch with zero ambiance(music, fan). I know Covid has been tough on everyone, especially small businesses but we didn’t feel welcomed or like they were excited about being a bakery. The best interaction we had was with the strangers who sat across from us on the back porch. 😢😞😖

Excellent pastries, teas and coffees.

We have been very good customers over the years. The last time we were in the guy behind the counter completely ignored us, never greeted us or said thanks, have a great day...nothing. We chalked it up to him having a bad day and still purchased food. It happens. We went in yesterday to be not greeted and ignored by the woman behind the counter...we ended up leaving. We will not be back unfortunately.

Mosswood Farm Store and Bakehouse has a magical secret garden nestled behind the store. If you stop in for a beverage and are lucky to snag up a delicious bakery treat, I strongly urge you to meander through the food forest out back. Joe Pierce is the designer and steward of the gardens and he has some awesome stands of bamboos and bananas along with copious amounts of other food stuffs. If you want to learn more about diversified food and forest systems and see Agroforestry principles first hand, then you are heading to the right place. Sweet spot In Micanopy is a must to stop and support.

I have nothing good to say but I you what you force Ocala people to wear a mask you will suffer from the consequences!

What a rude staff, genuinely unfriendly people. And served a horrific cup of coffee. Such bad attitudes we didn't even want to try the cake we bought.

I was in here for one whole minute before the rudeness of the woman at the register made me turn around and leave. Maybe they have no interest in being an actual business or customer service, which is fine for the other great options in town. Don’t waste your time or money going here, especially when there are other amazing options one block away with nice people working there. Instead it turned out to be a blessing because I ended up going to Old Florida Cafe which turned out to have an amazing iced latte, and amazing hot foot and desserts. It’s unfortunate that sweet southern charm and human decency is wasted on this shop taking up space.

Amazing pastries. Owner/Baker has extreme talent. Get there early they run out. I crave the brownies

Friendly very accommodating. Great Coffee. Vegan banana bread to die for.

A variety of fresh baked goods. The tiramisu was delicious.

We were looking for a place where to find good coffee and pastries. After walking around Micanopy, we found Moss wood Farm store. I had a lemon bar and my husband an oatmeal cookie, both delicious! Also an almond milk latte and an espresso. We also bought vegan chocolate, super tasty. Don't miss it!!!

Stopped in here on a lark whilst passing through and was surprised with a properly good cappuccino — better than anything I’ve had in Florida and as good or better than most in my dear Firenze. Superb, simply superb!

I have been a customer of Mosswood for many years. I live in town and am probably there 2x/week. Mosswood is not just a coffee shop. Mosswood gives a depth to our little town that no Starbucks could ever match. Mosswood offers workshops (and sales) throughout the year on ginger plants, bamboo, permaculture and pie baking. Their back garden is wondrous --a total gem that is lovingly tended by Joe. He will happily answer any questions you might have about what he's got growing. They make delicious cakes, pastries and sourdough bread (in the cooler months, it's made in their brick oven). It's really kind of amazing what they're able to do with such a small staff. If Mosswood was not here, I doubt I would live here to be perfectly frank. They have been beyond generous to me and I look forward to every trip to my hometown treasure.

We love everything about this treasure of a bakery, from the ultimate comfort food of their blueberry turnovers and chocolate cream croissants to the truly savory cherry tomato tarts and Swiss pepper rolls. The freshest seasonal fruits and vegetables, many homegrown, are paired with the finest ingredients along with much care to create the magic of Mosswood’s pastries. The owners are real people doing real good in both their ovens and their community. Hats off to them for staying the course to keep us and them in best health during this trying time. I respect and appreciate their policies as much as their addictive recipes.

This place was AMAZIIIIIIING! Loved the local vibe in a historic old Florida setting ❤️ The baked goods are delicious…especially with coffee. And went home with a scrumptious loaf of bread! Also- their mask policy makes me feel like they care about the community! So much love for this spot 🥰

A hidden gem outside of Gainesville and incredible family owned business. All of the pastries and bread are phenomenal but you MUST try a chess square.

Love Mosswood. They made the most beautiful and delicious lemon cake for my daughters graduation.

The smell, the feel, the welcoming owners…it’s all there! When visiting Micanopy, you have to stop in for some amazing baked goods, old time feel and truly unique menu. Love Mosswood, it’s a Micanopy must have!

We’ve been enjoying Mosswood’s tasty treats for at least 10 years now. Always good, always fresh. I want to give a special thank you for caring enough to keep us safe as best you can, during this stressful time of Covid. It’s greatly appreciated. Service is top notch.. Everyone is so friendly. A down home feeling when you walk in. If the pimento turnovers are available, I highly recommend them!

Mosswood is a MUST STOP when in Micanopy. The coffee is locally roasted. The pastries are made fresh every day and so delicious. I love checking out all the goodies in the store while my drink is being prepared.

Is this always a stop I make if I am traveling down 441? Every single time. This beautiful farm store is tucked away on a property that has been stewarded by Joe who also bakes the lovely sourdough loaves in the outdoor kitchen in the back. Grab yourself a cup of coffee and walk through the towering banana forest. Emily makes delicious and stunning rustic pastries and treats that have NEVER disappointed. In addition she also makes incredible special request items including wedding cakes and special occasion desserts. Each one more breathtaking than the next. The owners care about quality, are intentional with how they source products, and continuously hone their craft. Am I shocked to see 1 star reviews? No, because people are jerks and feel the need to trash small businesses. Am I shocked they are from people who expect DG prices, food like substances, and the ‘freedom to not wear masks’? Also No. Don’t be swayed into missing out on one of the best little tucked away secrets of Micanopy. It will quickly become one of your favorite stops along the way.

Wonderful shop and owners who care deeply about the products they serve and their community. A quaint treasure trove I highly recommend!!

This place is awesome! It's definitely worth a visit!

Stopped here after visiting a friend's farm, on her recommendation and so glad I did! Service was calm and friendly...AMAZING iced chai latte and the best pecan brownie I've had in a long while. It was a treat for my eyes too, looking around the shop while I waited. I bought some wonderful local honey and chocolate chip cookies to take home. Such a sweet little sensory experience.

Update 4/22/21: Mosswood doesn’t make the organic ice cream anymore. We have stopped in a couple times over the last year or so but still no ice cream. Very sad. That was the main reason we went there. I can’t really comment on any of the other treats.— —Original review: We love the Mosswood Mocha Milkshake made with organic ice cream. It is the best milkshake I've ever had.

This little cafe is adorable! They have a beautiful garden behind the store with lots of shaded outdoor seating. This place is rarely crowded and has a very cozy ambiance. The samosas/empanadas are a great snack and are always good. I also love the teas. They do not skimp on the amount of tea they use in the bag. They also have a variety of non-dairy milks. I love the unsweetened iced chai!

Beautiful old fashioned place, great coffee!

Wonderful homemade goodies with friendly service. Paleo and vegan offerings. Tons of sourdough. Fresh herbal teas, delicious hot cocoa made from stone ground cacao. A must visit!

Delicious banana nut bread and awesome outside tables!

My wife and I have been coming here for the past year and a half since we moved to Micanopy and love their large selection of tasty treats and delicious selection of coffees. In my opinion they blow starbucks out of the water. All of their baked goods are freshly made. Nothing is prepackaged from an outside vendor. The inside brings such a warm and welcoming environment. I would highly recommend if you haven't visited Micanopy yet to stop by Mosswoods and pick up a specialty coffee drink and pastry. It's worth the drive no matter where you live.

Fantastic treats! Brownies, chess squares, lemon bars are some of our favorites. We've really liked everything we've had here: tea, coffee, soft ice cream (not lately). The treats are tasty without being sickeningly sweet. The people are always friendly. The place is clean. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed here. I hope you may enjoy your experience as much as we have! Thanks, Mosswood!

Wonderful breads & baked goodies. You have to try the peanut butter brownies and pecan bars . Coffee smells devine

Lovely place, pastry delicious, coffe perfect!

Out exploring Micanopy with friends and stopped in to check it out! Personable young woman and very helpful! Got a pound of coffee and a few treats! Delicious! Would recommend stopping in to check it out!!

Very friendly. Excellent selection of coffee. Pastries baked on the premises along with homemade breads. Lots of outside seating.

Delicious homemade pastries and excellent coffee!

Always great coffee and bakery items. Ridiculously low prices for things like their huge brownies and pecan bars. This place is a true gem. Just check their hours and days closed.

Amazing little store with great organic, healthy options

I'll go out of my way to stop here. Freshest made from scratch bakery items and delicious coffee. When in Micanopy make sure you stop by.

My wife and I split a cold brew with hazelnut and cream and a naked brownie. Both were delicious. Per a local recommendation we also got a loaf of their homemade sourdough bread, looking forward to that later!

When living around Micanopy more than ten years ago, my wife and I would go and drink mochas and eat their Guava Cream-cheese Turnovers. Last week, I had to drive three hours for a meeting in Gainesville and drove the additional twenty miles out of the way just to get the turnovers. They are simply the best I've had, and well worth the extra effort.

Delicious and vintage charm Excellent service.

Lovely little coffee shop. I love hot chocolate and theirs is Mexican style with steamed milk. They also have sipping chocolate which I am really excited to try next time. I also had the "dirty chai brownie" and I really liked the chai spices in the frosting.

Amazing coffee, delicious baked goods, and glorious plants everywhere 💗🏆

Awesome local spot with the absolute best homemade desserts. I love that they’re growing lots of ingredients on their property, and showing people how to be a part of a local producer economy.

Our favorite place to go for coffee. But today we went in and hands down had the best Indian somasa pastry was a little hesitant to get it but I wish now I had gotten two. I hope they keep this pastry around I will be back for more!!!
