This is my favorite Starbucks in Gainesville. I like how large the space is and how many windows there are. The entire front of the store is a rounded windowed facade. It's beautiful, and the view is of a lovely outdoor seating area and an old golf course beyond that. There's always parking (a unique thing for Starbucks in this town), but I suppose the trade off is that your 7 miles away from everything else. This is also a great location to cycle to if you take 20th/24th from Gainesville out to 122nd and that up to Newberry Rd. The staff is friendly, though some of the male employees can be painfully slow in the late morning if I'm in a rush to get from the gym back to campus and crap some coffee on the way. The combination of GHFC and Starbucks in the same plaza is this girl's dream come true! The food and drink, exactly what you would expect from Starbucks. My regular drink is an iced coffee (no milk!), but I'll get the occasional caramel macchiatto. In the morning, for a bit to eat, I like the veggie and monterey jack artisan sandwich. In the afternoon, the new sesame noodle bistro box has become my favorite. For sweets, there are those darn vanilla bean scones. Deadly. I definitely appreciate the corporation's attention to their vegetarian customers. You can probably find me here working on my dissertation or taking a break between group fitness classes at the gym on Saturdays! But, watch out; seats go fast on Saturday morning.

Great location just off main drag of Newberry. In a hip, newer area strip mall with other eateries, workout fitness places, doctors, etc This Starbucks is now my favorite in the area. Contrary to the others, it's spacious with plenty of parking and seating varieties. You can choose open outdoor to a counter or leather chairs complete with a leather pillow. Just hope it's pleather as I don't like use of animal skins... Please read this Starbucks? Go vegan at least to start with your furniture? Staff has a "can do " attitude when I asked for gluten free sandwich.,, just take out the bread before you heat up. Not really rocket science but it throws them off. When in Gator country, you can find be here!

I mean...how can you go wrong at Starbucks?! They keep me going for work. Having a bad day...get a coffee to brighten your day! Good day...get a coffee to keep the beat going throughout the day! Cold out...hot coffee! Warm out...iced coffee! It's a win-win no matter how you spin it! (Please excuse any biased reviews here, I have a serious coffee/espresso/tea addiction)!

This Starbucks is lovely! I am NOT a Stabucks person and don't even drink coffee, BUT I thought this particular shoppe had an exceptional layout, great outside seating despite the uneven chair legs and a gorgeous view with trees and flowers. The area is high-end, 2.3 children, young families with stroller and a small dog. It is classy, yet familiar. It is a Starbucks after all.

Cute location with lots of parking options, friendly staff and correct orders and drinks. The passion fruit tea lemonade wasn't too sweet which is really nice from other places.

This is an excellent Starbucks location. It maintains the Starbucks expections yet has an independent vibe. There is plenty of space inside and a large outside patio area.
