This is an awesome restaurant! It has an impressive and refreshing Christian influence that creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly and ready for you to order at the counter and they will bring it to you. The menu offers many unique and delicious options. They offer several flavors of lattes, and mine had just the right amount of oat milk to make it perfect. They have freshly baked muffins and other items available for a quick bite. The overall experience was impressive and inviting. I am excited to find this one-of-a-kind establishment in Ocala! I will definitely be returning soon!

Such a cozy little coffee shop. We loved the Christian atmosphere. Not only was the Crème Brûlée coffee & food great, but the staff was amazing. As soon as my friends & I walked into the door they greeted us with a smile & made us feel welcome. They have cozy couches that allow you to just relax, catch up with friends, or do some work while feeling right at home!

I recently visited The Gathering Cafe for the first time and instantly loved the cozy atmosphere.

I wanted to try their vegan nest but they were sadly sold out of them. The staff recommended the vegan burrito, which I’m glad I got.I also got the dairy free blueberry muffin and they were both absolutely delicious.

I highly recommend The Gathering Cafe to anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming environment.

This place is 5 stars across the board! I love seeing small businesses expand, and their new location is stunning. I appreciate the well thought out menu, and the environment is extremely uplifting. Michelle is a gem! Hold on to that one. 😊

I went there for the first time and love that it is a Christian atmosphere. It made me feel good to read some of the Bible verses that are being displayed. I had the biscuit and gravy which was pretty good. It can get a little noisy and you can hear everyone conversations. Nice place to go and get a quick bite.

This establishment is a wonderful addition to the downtown area. Their food is delicious and service friendly. Sometimes it can take a little while for your food and beverages to come out but they are made with the most attention and care, I don't mind. Highly recommend!

I can see why it’s award-winning :)

Calee was lovely, very kind, and helpful. She was very patient with me as she helped me figure out what I wanted to order, and made me feel at home with a warm smile.

Ordered the “iced Honey Lavender latte” with almond milk. Delicious!!

The lemon blueberry muffin was perfect because it wasn’t too sweet— it was just right. It’s a huge muffin and I was able to devour the entire thing (unusual for me)

The quiche was perfect! Side of bacon. Yum

Got lunch sandwiches to go for later.

I’m from out of town so I won’t be able to visit regularly but now I wish I lived in Ocala!!!

The best coffee in all of Ocala, excellent blessed atmosphere I loved it definitely my favorite place…

The new location is so cool and has a lot of seating. The coffee specials are way too sweet in my opinion (and I say that as someone who LOVES sweet drinks), but the pastries and food are delicious. Symmetry or Juniper are the places for great coffee. Come to this place for the food and ambiance, not necessarily high quality and delicious drinks.

Another side note, the past location was dog friendly, but this location was not. Unfortunately, my dog and I had to chill outside as we waited and we ate/drank at the square in Ocala, which is a 4 minute walk.

Still giving 5 stars, and sending all the love and support to this small business. 😊

This place is great; We had our team meeting there! Easy access. The food and coffee was amazing! We will be back.

Loved the ambience, peaceful atmosphere, staff was super sweet will continue to come here as often as possible and recommend to my church

Warm and friendly atmosphere + staff. The hashbrown “nests” are crazy good… I got the broccoli melt and I think I could’ve eaten ten of them! Excited to come back with company and try more items from the menu. Highly recommend as a quick healthy breakfast.

WONDERFUL experience here at The Gathering Place Cafe in Ocala, FL. My sister and I had an amazing brunch. Everything open toast, biscuits & gravy, quiche w/hummus & carrots. An amazing pumpkin spice latte in August. And the staff were just wonderful and down to earth. I wish this place was located where I live! Go check it out if you’re in the area. 💙🌀🦋

Wow! I decided to come out and try a new place and i was not disappointed. Kind staff and a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. I had the Careot mango smoothie with tomato soup and a Gliten Free panini! Very very delicious!!!
I was overwhelmed with emotion when I discovered this place was openly Christian. In todays world, that is just something you never see and I thought it was truly beautiful and refreshing☀ I absolutely will be coming back

From the moment you walk into this place you can feel the Holy Spirit and God’s presence. The staff is very friendly , the food is made from scratch ( which is the best way to have it) , the lattes are delicious and I enjoy reading the messages on the cups . No matter what someone is going through those Godly inspirations speak measures. I do not know any other coffee shop that puts this much needed twist on each cup they serve. Everything they serve , they serve with LOVE. I will ALWAYS tell people about this place . Thank you to you Sarah and your amazing staff . I’m so glad God has blessed Ocala with such a business as this. ✝❤

I pray there is more Gathering Cafes across the nation! Claiming it already!

Quality food for quality price. Want to try their unique and much desired Egg Nest breakfast items, MUST be there before 11am at which time the griddles are changed and your opportunity is lost of trying these delicious dishes! Great location to be filled with food and leave feeling like you just traveled to another world. Dishes are packed with flavor and full of color. We arrived after 11am, (very sad face) and got their Open-faced toast specials (happy face). We got the the Avocado Bliss and the Mediterranean. Both were good, I preferred the Mediterranean since it had homemade humus. We also got some of their sweet dishes too - to take home and eat later. Everything was delicious. The owner - Sarah was very kind and took time to explain each dish I asked about. Austin did a great job helping me find the perfect selection of specials to try. The restaurant was very easy to find, had plenty of parking, clean bathrooms and the smell of the restaurant which was amazing and smelled so sweet made it hard to figure out what to eat. Thank you for a wonderful experience, it is an adventure which I look forward to trying again very soon!

Best cafe in town. Love their new location it is very beautiful with the same delicious quiche. Great healthy options and healthy sides! Why go to starbucks when you can support a local business with amazing service and coffee!!

This place is exceptional. Great ambiance ! Great food and amazing service!!! We will definitely be back! Sherri came over to our table and was LOVELY!! God bless them all!

Also the worship music 🎶 was FABULOUS!

This is a cute small space with many tables and was quite full. Because so many tables are in a small space, it can be hard to get to one's table without bumping someone's chair. The waite staff is very nice. They give you a number and bring your food to you. It would be nice if they brought utensils a week or told you where utensils are when one orders. The food that I chose was very tasty. I will be back. I would say they might need to open an outdoor space?? Just a thought.

The customer service here is the best I've experienced in so long. I got the vegan nest and it was by far one of the best breakfast meals I've had out at a restaurant! The combination of the hash brown cup vegan egg and cheese and avocado slice was scrumptious. There's even a prayer wall where you can write a prayer for someone or yourself. 10/10 would totally come back!!! Lots of love felt here❣
