Great coffee and brunch cocktails! Food was good…read moreService was good Small seating area so our party of 5 had to wait over an hour. Would have been shorter if a huge party of older folks didn't sit around for 2 hours after the were done eating.

Came for the ambiance and for their famous Shakshuka Rancheros …read more This dish albeit delicious.. was more ranchero than Shakshuka so if you're looking for authentic Shakshuka this is not it but the dish in itself was very inventive , original and well presented and I would not hesitate to order it again. Finished it off VERY fast. The right amount of food and flavor now I can go on with my day ;-

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing…read more Amazing service - customer service is GOAT! Let my daughter try a piece of chicken and pasta. She has a lot of food sensitivities and they totally got it. So kind too! Went out of the way and answered all our questions about food additives and allergens. Amazing food. It is hard to find good vegan food. This place has it! Amazing portion sizes. I ate too much! Very filling. Highly recommend.

I love Bolay! Driving through on I-75, we hit the jackpot! I didn't realize all food was gluten…read morefree at first, which is a major treat for four out of five of our group. The regular bowl is relatively inexpensive at $10.95 but so filling as to allow for leftovers. The teriyaki chicken, rice, broccoli, feta and toasted almonds, and mushrooms were a treat with the creamy garlic sauce. I also sampled the turmeric ginger sauce with steak, sweet potato noodles and forbidden rice. All fantastic! You cannot make a mistake ordering. The servers at the counter explained everything, and were patient and kind. I love the healthy fast food feel of this restaurant. It was clean and organized.

Found this place a while back when visiting Gainesville and have came back every time I come here…read more The pastries are very good. The scone is not dry. Service is quick and friendly. The ambience is a small coffee business that is very cozy in the inside with limited seating, but there is more seating in the patio area outside. They also sell other items from the local area, such as meats and eggs.

As for the good, the coffees we got were near perfection. The iced latte was smooth and flavorful…read more The indoor seating is tiny but the outdoor seating is great and there's lots of places to sit and hang out. Also the service was very fast. As far as the cons go, the pricing is a little higher than most shops we've been to. The friendliness of the staff is not the greatest and there is political messaging in the form of papers near the counter. One other thing, we are a husband and wife with a toddler and we were literally the only ones there that were a family. It was absolutely crammed pack with college students and they were all in athletic gear. I don't know if we came at the time of an event or something. Overall, it's a solid coffee shop with a good selection and they also have food (selection varies).

It's a cute little shop with lots of bubble tea flavors like milk tea, taro tea, oolong tea, fruit…read moretea, cheese foam, and more. They also have seasonal flavors! There's lots of yummy sweets in the bakery like chiffon cake, cheesecake, basque cheesecake, cream puffs, burst cake, mochi, crepe cake, french macarons, and more. It's near the Enson Market. It wasn't too loud inside and there were plenty of places to sit. I think it would be a great place for a date or to meet up with friends. My order: The matcha green tea w. coconut milk (no boba). I also tried the tiramisu mousse cake. The green tea was really tasty, the tiramisu mousse was just okay IMO. Why I left a four star review: There weren't a lot of dairy-free milk options, the price point was a tad high, and there are too many other boba tea shops in Gainesville with a better price point and flavors.

Look, I'm not from Gainseville. I'm from LA, on a visit, and LA is home to the best Chinese…read morefood/asian food and desserts in the country (don't let NYC tell you different). So the fact that I'm giving this place 5 stars means this place is stellar. It's not a place I would even expect to exist in a small place like Gainseville, let alone be THIS GOOD. BUT this place is THAT GOOD. The cakes were all LA tier, maybe even Taiwan/China tier, which is Saying SOMETHING!!! I travel a lot and my experience with asian stores in small towns has always been subpar. It might look authentic, etc but then the taste will disappoint and I'm reminded why the 626 in LA is known as an Asian food haven. But this store tasted straight out of the 626. I walked in looking for Asian desserts because I can only go so long existing on wypipo food tbh. I noticed there's a nice new Chinese market next door and the staff inside was all Chinese, speaking Mandarin - very encouraging. I looked at the cakes. They looked legit! Real Asian cake store level. But I still told myself to lower my expectations with the taste so I wouldn't be disappointed later. I bought four cakes and two drinks. Would have bought food too but their kitchen was closed (I came 30 mins before closing). Tbh, the drinks are just fine. I've had better, these were a tiny bit watered down - but still decent. The guava and lychee flavors we got were very prevalent and there was a fresh lime slice in mine. But the cakes!!! The cakes are 5 star. The cakes are LA worthy. TAIPEI worthy. What is this store doing in Gainseville?? I sure hope they survive. I have to come back to Gainseville often for medical events, so - I will be coming to this store EACH TIME. Please, please stay open for me. ;) The cakes are perfectly light, soft, not too sweet. (If you know Asian desserts you'll know what I'm talking about). The mochi layers inside were perfectly done, sweet, smooth, very QQ. Everything from the injeolmi flavor to taro paste to mango gelatin layers - all the flavors were there in just the right way. The textures - perfect. Lady M can't compete with the crepe cakes. The basque was cooked to PERFECTION. The mochi round cakes - like eating Taro clouds. This is not an amateur bakery, folks. This bakery know what they're doing. You have a gem here, Gainseville. I literally logged into Yelp to leave this review for them. Please do yourself a favor and try their cakes - Try them ALL. Experience the beauty of Asian desserts. I feel like every single thing here will be done perfectly. I know I'm gonna keep coming back to try more!

They also have breakfast and lunch items. I tried the turkey bacon ranch on a croissant and it was incredible - I ended up having it again!!

After a day of unpacking moving boxes we all wanted a cool sweet treat and decided to try…read moreJeremiah's Italian Ice. We almost drove away when we saw the long line that reached the parking lot but decided to stick it out and give it a try. Figured if the locals are willing to wait in line, it must be good! This is a pick up only window with tables outside for customers to enjoy their treats but there is no indoor seating. The walk up counter had two windows and both were staffed with friendly cashiers. The line moved quickly but with enough time for us to figure out the ordering system and to sort through the many options available from the menu board posted on the sidewalk. There are at least 5 sizes (that I can remember) to choose from and thankfully I was sharing a medium otherwise it would have been too much for one person and I only did two steps out of the 3. I chose to create my own and selected the coconut Italian ice with the Chocolate Gelati in a medium cup. The rest of the family ordered from the Frog Squad Favorites list, which are creations designed to remind you of other favorite sweet treats. One ordered a small Frosted Animal Cracker and one ordered a small S'More. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selections. We had fun sitting outside and the entire time while we ate our Italian ice , there was always a line of customers. We quickly understood why this is such a hit amongst the Gainesville community!
