They offer a unique wide variety from local vendors, organic products, plants and flowers and specialty goods. We purchased some of the bulk candy and a specialty cheese.

Ward's has so much packed into a small space, so I took my time to look around a little and not just rush through. This has got to be the friendliest grocery store in Florida, if not the entire South! Peoples' hands were busy stocking shelves, beers, yogurt, carrots, and soaps, are all placed on shelves by caring hands. Good food with good prices, and no corporate phony greeting. You get sincerity with your groceries; it makes a difference!

Based on the reviews, I knew this time to grab some baklava which was a difficult decision. Why, you may ask? They have so many choices! I did end up with the pistachio baklava. My dad raved about his lamb & beef gyro platter and literally left no crumbs. My mom loved her wrap and how large the portion was. For me, the falafel platter was all hits, no misses. From the creamy hummus to the fresh tabbouleh. I highly enjoyed the freshness of the meal. The baklava was the cherry on top - sweet and nutty with a flaky pastry crust. I wish I would've ordered more varieties of the delicious dessert. Gyro Plus is a great staple here in town for your Mediterranean favorites! I'll be back soon!

In my previous reviews I Utilized a Good, Bad, and Ugly rating scale. I really like most everything about Superette. The staff are very eclectic and nice, outdoor dining is relaxing and invigorating. There are not many things better than sitting outside under oak trees while eating delicious savory food and enjoying a good wine or cocktails. Replaying last night's dinner in my head has me planning my next visit to Superette. Sunday brunch this weekend is calling my name. Oh,'one more thing, Superette is also the place to go where you will only run into the people you like. The folks you don't care for are not going to be there. Just my observation.

I keep coming back for their salmon salad with dill and cucumber. It's so fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of the best grab-and-go meals I've had. I always end up picking up a croissant box & something from their baked goods section. They're buttery, flaky perfection. The ambiance is warm and I always feel relaxed once I come in. Lighting is perfect because it makes you want to stay longer and they might be on to something there. I find myself taking my sweet time going from aisle to aisle with no rush. While I'm there, I like to explore their drink section, they always have something interesting, whether it's a unique juice, botanical soda, or a fancy iced tea I haven't seen before. They have a great range of high-quality products, and it's fun to venture off and splurge on 3-4 special items every few months. Not an everyday stop for me, but definitely one I look forward to when I want a little upgrade from my usual grocery run. To note, you must sign up for their rewards and you get a free slice of cake! The last slice I had for my birthday last year was delicious and I can't wait for this next time since my birth month is right around the corner.

I have been eating Falafel King since 1984 and it is still as good today as it was back then. I was…read moreintroduced to it by words that became a staple every time I walked in, "My friend. Come and enjoy a falafel!" It was 1984, I worked at the Florida Bookstore and was sitting out back in the courtyard behind Chaucer's during my lunch break. That's when I heard those words. It was a smiling man sticking his head out of a kitchen window behind Cafe Gardens, which shared the courtyard with Chaucer's. "...enjoy a falafel!" "A flawhatel?" I asked. The man was Ghassan Chehab, and after serving me my first ever falafel, I ate there nearly every day. He soon moved out of the small shared-kitchen window to the famous 13th and University location, next to Burrito Brothers and Goerings Book Center - which I eventually moved to myself - and a block from my house. Falafel sandwich, spinach pie, strawberry-banana smoothie, and complimentary baklava - that was my go-to meal, always accompanied by great conversation with Ghassan. I left Gainesville in 1992 and The King moved out to Butler Plaza. I returned there a number of years later and was not only delighted to see the place still existed, but it was as good as ever! Ghassan was no longer there in person, but he certainly was in spirit. I continue to eat there whenever I pass anywhere near Gainesville, and always take home a bundle full of the falafel and pies. In fact, I'm actually writing this review with the taste of that falafel and spinach pie in mouth right now because I recently made one such trip. My friends, go eat a falafel at Falafel King!

We ordered several pizzas (1 garlic 16", 1 two-topping 12" with prosciutto + roasted garlic, 1 Hawaiian 12", 1 pita pizza with ham) plus ravioli fritti appetizer and steak pesto. Pizzas were excellent , steak was soft / medium well as I requested, and ravioli was deliciously crunchy - a crowd pleaser. The others had never tried Scuola before and now they'll all be back for the great food , friendly service, as well as chill ambiance of the place. Highly recommend visiting during lunch time since it's not too crowded and still quiet enough to hear one another at a table. The owner stopped by our table before we left and graciously offered to take a photo for us so thank you for that. Always a pleasure to meet the management. Pricing was fair considering the large portions and quality of the food. We had separate checks so our share of the food (including a to go order of Chicken Souvlaki and Kokkinisto!) was about $125 with generous tip. Free parking lot outside the restaurant is shared but there were still many spots to choose from. We'll certainly be back again ^_^ !!

To compare I usually shop at Trader Joe's and sometimes Publix, Publix is only when I'm grabbing a few things since we all know it's expensive. Comparable in prices to Trader Joe's but still overall cheaper and I appreciate that. The customer service is okay, and I wouldn't go further than that, you aren't greeted, you can't really find anyone for questions, and there's at max one person in working a register with all other registers being self check out. The store was very clean and everything was pretty easy to find. Super cheap wine options, hopefully they don't taste as cheap as they are lol. Overall, I'd say this is an amazing store for families, it won't break the bank. however, I'll likely end up going to both Trader Joe's getting only some things at Aldi in the future since you just can't beat Trader Joe's creative cultural options and super friendly customer service.

While this place is like down the street from where I live, I had never actually been inside. Since it was busy, there was a tiny wait but nothing crazy. I told the woman what I needed and she quickly packaged up the cake. The taste was great! Now I will say I'm not used to Italian cheesecake, meaning I'm not used to there not being a crust but that's okay. I enjoyed it but more importantly the birthday girl was satisfied and that's all that matters. I do plan to go back to try other desserts and the deli .
