108 Vine

Crema's Take
“This Gainesville gem brilliantly blends a meticulously curated plant shop and locally-sourced gift collection with genuinely creative coffee—think seasonal drinks like banana bread oatmilk matcha that showcase real craft beyond standard espresso drinks. The welcoming staff and thoughtfully designed atmosphere make it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like a favorite gathering spot where you're just as likely to leave with a beloved plant or handmade treasure as you are a perfectly pulled shot.”

To be honest I was just trying to check out a different coffee shop. But when I walked in I was filled with so much glee. It's not just a coffee shop. They sell plants and locally made items. The copy is great. I had a banana bread latte which was delicious. I really enjoyed these strawberry chocolate chip muffin which was really ridiculously good. I couldn't help myself and bought a few more items as well. The owner is very engaging and sweet. This place has a great vibe. I had no idea it was here but I plan to come back to this local gem. ❤️
I came on a Sunday afternoon and ordered a banana bread oatmilk matcha but instead after waiting 25-30 minutes I was given an latte instead. I just took it without saying anything since they were swamped with orders. It was ok but nothing amazing. If you like overly sweet “coffee” then sure it’s nice but there was no coffee aftertaste. It just tasted like a smoothie/ sweet treat . I was expecting to have some coffee taste but it was non existent. For $8 I was a little upset but went about my day. I’ve had far better than iced coffee for less than that. Not sure if to give them a try when it’s not as packed.
This is one of my favorite cafes in town! Best gift shop in town as well. I love the selection of plants and unique gifts. I have picked up lots of beloved treasures for my loved ones here. I love the baristas. They always remember me, tho I admittedly don't come in as often as I should! I love this place.
I looooooooove going here!! The staff is very nice and welcoming and it’s always an enjoyable outing ☺️ the drink menu changes periodically and they’re all very tasty! There’s also a solid plant selection and the prices aren’t bad. I come by every so many weeks to see what the new options are ❤️
The atmosphere is in this store is wonderful! Merging a beautiful unusual plant store with a great coffee store was brilliant! I walked into this lovely store and was met by the smiling Rhys. She is so much fun, and very knowledgeable. We shopped, we laughed, I left with lots of amazing plants and in a great mood. I plan to visit 108 Vine every time I'm in town. Whoever chooses plants for this store deserves a reward, and Rhys is definitely the first person I hope to see again.
