Combs Coffee — Restaurant in Gainesville

Had the great pleasure to meet the owner of Combs coffee and attend my first tasting class. My husband and had a wonderful time and learned so, so much! I am obsessed with coffee and it made my heart so happy to meet someone who is so passionate and so invested in creating the best quality coffee possible while educating and sharing knowledge with the community and others. Having worked in coffee myself, I would like to think that I can tell what coffee is good quality and what coffee just has sweet syrup that makes the drink desirable. Let me just say that Combs has GOOD quality coffee. It is so tasty and if you like black coffee, his beans are very good quality and the taste is just chefs kiss. If you like lattes, their seasonal drinks are to die for and I really like their orange syrup. So unique, fragrant and delicious. For every cup you buy, you are supporting sustainable and fair trade coffee. They are run on solar power and have wonderful mason jars to take home coffee beans. They even have hot and cold cups that are... Wait for it. Biodegradable?! My dream! Anyways I can’t say enough good things about this gem. I'm just so glad that something high quality has come into town in Gainesville. I wish nothing but the best for combs and cannot wait to see how they grow and how they bring value to the town. My husband and I will be back for more...

First time at this establishment..... NOT impressed!!!!!!! Very very sweet to sweet... does this coffee have coffee???? You can't taste it if it has coffee in it and one of the drinks had a shot of expresso in it still no coffee taste. Overly priced for non-coffee coffee... we travel alot and like to try small town coffee's this coffee you can get at any QT but cheaper. We also ordered a strawberry Frappuccino it had no red color what so ever and no strawberry taste to it but it tasted like coffee. I wouldn't recommend cause it don't taste like coffee and the prices compared to other places are way way higher The inside was beautiful, the smell was fabulous, the staff was very nice and that's the reason you got any stars at all.... To the owner: I seen the other reviews..... you can have knowledge of coffee all day long but don't mean you know how to make the coffee. Reviews are for the customer to tell how they like or don't like an establishment not for the owner to come back and be rude. Compared to Starbucks 3 large with 2 shots of expresso $18 This place.... same drinks same Size 1 shot of expresso $27 and...

Both hot chocolate and mocha tasted like very sweet milk and barely warm.

This is the reply to the owner: it's not up to the customer to worry about your rating. If you cared about your business, you wouldn't sell a very dry brownie for $4. You would train your baristas to make sure the coffee is warm especially when that latte costs almost $8 and a small hot chocolate costs $5 and your espresso drinks actually taste like they have some coffee flavor to that them. You would expect a warm cup of coffee when the weather is freezing outside. You would update your menu to reflect your food offerings so people wouldn't drive out of their way just to find out there's no breakfast food served. I actually cared enough to support a local business, so I drove past the Starbucks to get a couple of drinks and some breakfast on my way to Dallas. I wouldn't turn around and drive back just to let you know my "hot" drink is not even warm and it tastes like just milk with a...
