Crema's Take

This espresso-focused Gainesville spot excels at crafting specialty drinks like matcha lattes and smooth cold brews, earning consistent praise for quality coffee despite recent staffing struggles that have slowed service. While the laptop-friendly atmosphere and baristas like Ray create genuine warmth and connection, the shop seems caught in transition—loyal regulars lament management changes and inconsistent availability that have tarnished what was once a beloved study destination. On your best days, you'll find the kind of barista who lifts your mood before you've finished your first sip; on others, expect patience with longer waits.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly.

Shoutout to Ray at Foxtail Coffee!! You know when you walk into a place half-asleep and somehow leave in a better mood than when you arrived? That’s Ray. From the second you walk in he treats you like a friend. He greets everyone like they matter, remembers names, remembers…

I have been a regular customer for a long time and genuinely enjoy the coffee. Most of the baristas have always been friendly and professional, which is why this is so frustrating. Recently, however, reliability has completely fallen apart. On multiple occasions, the bar has…
