Volta Coffee

Convenient location , comfortable atmosphere. A few more varieties of non dairy milk options would be nice to choose from, soy was free but oat cost $0.50 extra. We ordered four different drinks and honestly they all tasted the same. They weren’t bad, just nothing terribly exciting or different about them. It was nice to find an actual local coffee shop, besides chains or gas stations, and the staff was very friendly. I would like to try Volta again, next time I visit Gainesville.

Volta Coffee, Tea & Chocolate is a super chill coffee shop. Their pour over section of the menu didn't really have any good descriptions of the beans and what the flavor profile were for all of them. However ,the barista was more than happy to explain all their flavor profiles to me. I had their Guatemala Lucia Pablo because I was in the mood for a coffee with floral notes and so their recommendation was spot on. It was very yummy. The mug provided was stylish too. I'll have to try their chocolate drinks next time because it appears they use fresh chocolate and you can't go wrong with that!

Volta Coffee, Tea & Chocolates is the best example of true Southern Hospitality! The lovely shopkeepers were welcoming and attentive. I was in a very bad mood when I arrived at the shop and marched directly into the bathroom. No one stopped me and greeted me, kindly. I felt I was welcomed. I came to the counter and I ordered a cappuccino and browny. The drink was strong & the browny was sweet & melting (with a slight crisp on the sides). All was absolutely perfect. I asked for local information and was given very detailed info on what I was looking for. I felt like I was at the tourist info place. After sitting & sipping my drink, I started to feel wonderful; The place has very good energy. I could not finish my pastry and walked to the counter to grab some napkins, so I could take this delicious slice home. The lovely lady, Kami ( I hope I am spelling it right) saw me straggling and offered two types of "to-go wraps" that I could use. It put a big smile on my face. I felt like I was visiting family. I felt genuine care. Thank you, Volta! May Karma be with you,

I don’t understand the hype about this place. Coffee is ok and the atmosphere pretty average. Not enough options for plant based milks, barista not very helpful qnd quite slow. Sorry, but definitely not a place we would come back to. P.s. they do sell very boring and uninspiring “v is for vaccine” T-shirts if you need one :/ :/ 😅😳🤯🤯

What a lovely place! The service was great, they were knowledgeable and helped me choose what to order. On point and very timely. Great business to support during covid. The owner makes a special Japanese street food dish that was to die for! They also sell flour, coffee beans, honeys, and other great homegoods.
