The Kookaburra Alachua
11694 Research Dr #10, Alachua, FL
Crema's Take
“The Kookaburra brings the welcoming energy of its St. Augustine sister location to Alachua with a spacious, outlet-filled room perfect for lingering over expertly crafted espresso drinks and pour overs. The knowledgeable staff genuinely engage with customers about the coffee and food offerings, including their signature Aussie pies and plant-based options, creating the kind of place where you'll want to settle in with your laptop or meet a friend—just maybe bring a jacket since the modern aesthetic leans cool rather than cozy.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

Finally had time to try it (I'd have done so ages ago, but no drive-thru). Breve latte was delicious! Crustless pie, tasty but WAY more black pepper than needed and it was barely warm. Luckily, the homemade pepper sauce had plenty of heat to warm it up! I picked up the pie and…
This was a great experience. Wonderful space and atmosphere in the morning time. The staff were polite and friendly, informative too about the coffees, pastries and Aussie Pies. One staff member explained everything is made from scratch, I could glimpse the baking equipment…
