Such a fun cafe! Coffee was excellent and staff were so sweet. Nice spot to work but wouldn’t recommend taking any calls. Def worth a visit!

Whenever I travel I look for something unique I can’t get back home. The O’mara’s shot (wine-based Bailey’s cream, can be added to any coffee drink for $4/shot) is it for The Gallery. Prices are not listed on the menu (everything is expensive) nor are drink sizes. They will serve you a large drink unless you specify. Don’t be intimated by the menu and long line: if you walk around to the right of the counter there is a wall of fine loose leaf teas you can take to the counter to order. If you want something cold try the Freído shaken espresso drink (I recommend the pistachio flavor). It’s amazing! To be clear, the food and drink are great, just be prepared for Savannah tourism prices. Receipt attached to give you context for your visit.

Such a lovely coffee shop with unique decoration and a cozy atmosphere! The staff were really friendly, and it’s definitely a great place to sit, relax, or work for a few hours.

Great food but a bit expensive. Buckle up for a slice of cake, albeit large, for $12! The Nova lox bagel was, to be fair, excellent. $18. The bagel was perfectly toasted, the cream cheese seemed richer, the salmon was perfect. All in an eclectic independent coffee shop with a Bohemian vibe. Tons of teas. Ask for prices before you order.

Okay…. Wow. First timer- I haven’t even finished my coffee and pastry but I had to IMMEDIATELY come on here and rave. I opted for a to-go order but stayed long enough to enjoy the eclectic space. Atmosphere? Incredibly cozy and unique. Staff? Beyond helpful and so kind. Marissa (I hope I didn’t misspell) was absolutely phenomenal. Did not rush me, knowledgable, talked me through options/suggestions, and was so personable AND professional. I decided on a customized iced espresso latte- lavender and white chocolate and I am blown away. The espresso flavor is so rich and the flavors meld perfectly. I got my significant other the Maloney’s Cappuccino (real Irish cream!!!) with espresso and Marissa suggested adding the cold foam, and I upgraded to the caramel cold foam and he was OBSESSED! Now onto pastries: I don’t know what kind of black magic is used to concoct these delicacies, but I am hooked. I spotted a berry-custard cinnamon-roll looking item and couldn’t resist, and I am so glad I didn’t. Literally one of the most delicious baked goods I’ve ever tasted. I got my boyfriend the jalapeño cornbread, and he also loved it. I recommend both warmed, but they’re educated enough to suggest that before I even had the thought. Truly such a warm, welcoming spot. If you’ve read this far- I apologize for the in depth rambling analysis, but I rarely remember to do reviews and I had to stop mid- eating and give this establishment its dues. I easily see why they’re the longest-standing cafe in Savannah. Reasonably priced, and even if it wasn’t, it’d be 100% worth it. I will be back :) PS- I attached a photo of homemade cannolis that were nearly as big as my wrist. Unfortunately didn’t get the chance to taste-test but they still deserve their spotlight.

Adorable little cafe. Friendly, cozy, inviting atmosphere. Stopped in for a latte to go on our way out of town. Would absolutely return for a sit down cup of coffee whenever I end up in the area again.

My son and I stopped in here after checking a few different places out. We are immediately were drawn in. The coffees and bagels were delicious! The service was great!!! It reminded me of our hometown coffee shop!!

Discovered Gallery Espresso while doing a walk around town. The vibe is cool however the place could use a clean up, in my opinion. We sat outside. Espresso’s & Macha were delicious. We visited twice :)
