Finally made it to this GEM of a donut shop in Gainesville! Flatfish GNV is a donut shop that…read morespecializes in brioche filled donuts and vegan glazed donuts. Only open Friday through Sunday, they offer a limited selection with monthly rotating flavors, so expect lines out the door. Knowing to expect a line, especially during move-in weekend, my family and I got there about 10min before opening at 10am. There was already a line wrapped around the block! We ended up waiting in line for about 50min before ordering. Shortly after we ordered and sat down to enjoy our donuts, one of the owners notified everyone there was a limited selection left and it was likely not everyone would receive donuts. So if you are planning on visiting, just be aware of this! The service was excellent and extremely pleasant. The co-owner serving the donuts was super sweet and personable. This husband and wife team run a tight ship and really do their best to serve everyone to their best ability! The inside is quant, but there are a couple of seating options. We appreciated the nostalgic atmosphere and decor throughout. We got to the counter at the perfect time as they were just about out of the brioche. While unable to snag one of the brioche donuts, we were able to try 3/4 brioche filled and 5 of the vegan glazed. All the donuts were genuinely phenomenal and you couldn't tell the vegan glazed was vegan at all. The brioche filled donuts were super pillowy, with ample amounts of luscious cream filling. All the flavors were distinct and very good--you can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients. I thoroughly enjoyed the brownie filled brioche and thought the filling was divine, almost reminded me of chocolate mousse! The vegan glazed were also great with a wonderful texture. They too were soft and very fresh, each with good flavor. I honestly enjoyed all 5 of the flavors we tried, especially the Arnold Palmer and Cherry Crumble! Overall, Flatfish GNV was most definitely worth as the hype and praise! The donuts are truly something special, with lovely presentation, flavor, and most importantly texture. The donuts themselves are large too and I definitely think the price is justified. They use great ingredients and it shows in the product they output. While the lines can get long, don't let that intimidate you! The service was perfect and this husband & wife team does a wonderful job running their donut shop. I was extremely impressed and would really like to return to try some more of their monthly flavors!

The lady at the front was so kind and welcoming, even though it was clear they'd had a rush (it was Easter weekend, so totally understandable that people came early and stocked up!). Everything is super reasonably priced,all items are $3, and you can get a half dozen for just $12. That's wild for the quality you're getting! They have an amazing variety: danishes, cookies, pound cakes, and more. We ended up with a vanilla glazed cinnamon bun, lemon pound cake, cinnamon danish crunch, almond cloud cookie, karma cookie, and a pecan pie bar to split with one of my close friends, and every single bite was absolutely delicious. I wish I had known there was a line forming right at 7am. I would've rolled out of bed sooner. Thankfully, they told us you can call ahead and reserve, which we might just do next time because I'm already thinking about going back. I highly recommend the danishes & vanilla cinnamon glaze glazed bun and the pecan pie bar! This place is one of those spots you'll want to visit again and again, just get there early or call ahead to snag the goods!

I came here for the first time this past Tuesday morning and enjoyed it! BakerBaker is located in…read morethe 4th Ave Food Park. The bakery is small and is a to-go type of shop. They are open 7am to sell out Tuesday through Saturday. I arrived just before 8am and was surprised that they already were selling out of items! They offer a nice variety of pastries and treats including danishes, croissants, scones, cookies, brownies, and more specialty items. The selection included a mix of both sweet and savory items as wells. The sizes of the pastries were perfect, the price was a little high--but still reasonable. The service was quick, but I thought it could have been slightly more pleasant. The worker just didn't really seem too happy to be there on this particular morning and was very blunt with me. I asked her for her opinion and what items to get and she really didn't provide much help. But other than that, this was a good experience. I ended up getting three items including a Nutella danish, a cheddar-chive scone, and a piece of their pecan bread pudding. All of these items were delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed each one! The pecan bread pudding was great, it wasn't too sweet and the texture was perfect. I just wish it was warm as it was given to me cold. Next time I get this I might need to heat it up in the microwave at home. It didn't include too many pecans, but the cinnamon flavors were great, I would recommend this. The Nutella danish was more reminiscent of a croissant with Nutella on top. This was still good as the dough was quite buttery & flaky--just as it should be. There was the perfect amount of Nutella and I thought it was nicely balanced. The cheddar-chive scone was by far my favorite! The scone was dense, buttery, and had great texture & layers. The cheddar was subtle, but still very much present. I was very impressed with the scone and would highly recommend ordering one. It was easily one of the best scones I've eaten and shouldn't be missed! Overall, I am glad I finally made it out to BakerBaker and can easily say it won't be my last visit. The selection of pastries is awesome and you can easily get something different every time you go. Their menu appears to change daily/weekly too. Each pastry is priced at $4. I will say some pastries vary in size, making this price less justifiable. For instance, one of the other bread pudding varieties was about half the size of the one I ordered and priced the same. All the pastries I tried were delectable and I was satisfied. As I stated above, I thought the service, particularly the women ringing me up, could have been more pleasant. I would say this is a solid bakery for Gainesville, with the scones being the standout. This is certainly no French bakery, but it will definitely satisfy and sweet cravings you might have!

From the moment I walked in, the owner welcomed me with a warm, friendly greeting that set the tone for the entire visit. While the shop is cozy, it is impeccably clean, well-organized, and clearly maintained with pride. Their menu offers a fantastic variety of flavors with three different sizes of shaved ice, all at a very reasonable price point. When it came time to order, I decided to let the staff showcase their creativity and asked for a "delicious surprise." After a few thoughtful questions about my favorite fruits and flavor profiles, they crafted a Banana Cream Pie shaved ice that was absolutely divine. My husband opted for a Peach, Raspberry, and Mango combination, which was equally refreshing and flavorful. Beyond the treats, what really stood out was the service. We spent some time enjoying our desserts and chatting with the owner, whose hospitality made the visit feel special. It is the perfect spot to beat the summer heat or enjoy some quality family time. A quick note for visitors: The establishment currently does not have ramp access. If you have mobility challenges, I recommend bringing a companion along to assist with entry. I will definitely be returning to Charlie's Snow Shack soon. If you're looking for great service and even better treats, this local business is a must-visit!
