Opus Coffee - Innovation — Restaurant in Gainesville

Opus Coffee at the Innovation District offers many unique espresso beverages made with their Slayer machine, a very high end espresso machine that produces a high quality product you'll be hard pressed to find elsewhere. They also have drip coffee, nitro cold brew, iced coffee and classic coffee drinks as well as tea ( and not cheap store bagged tea either! It's imported from Austria!) This location offers ample, comfortable seating and plenty of space to work in. Today I sampled three drinks: the Slay Queen, the A.C Slayter, and the Christian Slayter. Each drink was uniquely tasty. The A.C Slayter was a cool, refreshing iced cinnamon drink with triple espresso, rice milk horchata, and coconut cream.

Pity, the space is nice and the city needs good coffee but...

This was my first time visiting opus coffee at this location and this is probably be my last time coming it's very ridiculous that you charge me $3 to for coffee and then you tell me to fix my own coffee if that's the case I might as well go to the regular places I go to like a gas station get my coffee for a $1.80 if I'm going to fix it myself. I was not impressed He took the vanilla flavor put it in my cup and told me to fix my own coffee after I paid $3 for a small coffee Don't waste your time...
