Opus Coffee - Innovation
800 SW 2nd Ave Suite 1, Gainesville, FL
Crema's Take
“Opus Coffee in Innovation Square is a vibrant spot where Akira and the team genuinely care about guiding you toward your perfect drink, whether that's a consistently excellent iced matcha latte or a specialty espresso drink. The kitchen impresses just as much with housemade touches like fresh pickled pimento cheese sandwiches, and the friendly, welcoming vibe keeps regulars coming back despite occasional inconsistencies with temperature control on the espresso side. It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself experimenting with their fun flavor offerings in a clean, nice space that feels like your neighborhood's gathering spot.”

Akira was very helpful in recommending me a beverage. She also told me about the pimento cheese sandwich, with fresh made pickles. It was scrumdiddlyumptious. 10/10 will pimento again. Also wow candles.
LOVE OPUS! This is my favorite coffee ever, so many fun flavors, the service is always good, and I have never been disappointed.
GOOD MATCHA! 🍵 Opus Coffee is one of the cafes I would trust to make an iced matcha latte. Usually consistent throughout the different locations and would come back!
Nice place, nice vibe, nice staff. Cons: the coffee. Everything is served at the point of boiling which completely burns the beans beyond repair. Even a single shot Cortado (unusual in specialty places but still) is burned beyond repair, the top layer of frothed milk is just bitter foam. The batch (filter coffee) is beyond repair, no notes and even if we were to consider it an American staple, at this price point I was truly hoping in an improvement and not to burn both my hand and my tongue. Pity, the space is nice and the city needs good coffee but this ain’t it.
Fast, friendly, clean service with a smile. I got a small matcha latte and my husband got a hot mint tea. Both were good. Prices weren't crazy high, so that was also nice. Menu photos in my review!
