    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!

    First time trying Midnight Cookies and wish I had gone sooner, especially since they're closing…read moresoon. The shop is small, but they had fun options including vegan cookies. I ordered the Banana Foster and Lucky Charms. It took about 10-15 minutes since they're made fresh to order, but they came out warm, soft, and in a pizza box. Loved the crispy edges with soft centers. Once cooled, they were the perfect texture. The Banana Foster was amazing, even for someone who doesn't usually like banana flavors. The Lucky Charms was sweet and fun with white chocolate chips, though I didn't really taste the cereal. Overall, delicious and worth the wait.

    I absolutely love the cookies here and I have been several times throughout my time in Gainesville,…read moreI think I have tried almost every flavor they have (and they have all been delicious)! I love that their cookies are made fresh and are always so warm and delicious. It's also really nice that they deliver, but I often come to the store to order since they're very quick and that way I can get just one or two cookies if I want! It's a great place to take people who are visiting from out of town and is an especially nice treat when it's cold out! The inside of the store is always decorated nicely and has a nice big menu on the wall! I highly recommend for the next time you're craving cookies

    Nice little courtyard-side restaurant in a townhome community…read more The food was quite good... authentic sides including farofa. The main dishes were rich and flavorful... tried the Moqueca- mahi in coconut milk, and the Feijoada- a rich pork stew... both with rice. It was drizzling lightly off and on, and when we walked up we asked to sit at a table under an umbrella close to the building, providing some cover. The server told us that table was taken, and we were seated at a table far out in the courtyard basically next to the parking spaces under a tree.... It had no umbrella, so we did end up getting a bit damp. And, being a longer trek from the restaurant meant that the service was haphazard... for instance, our waters were never refilled. The food made up for these shortcomings, but if there is a next time, we'll be more assertive about sitting on the actual dining patio. The slower service resulted in not staying for any desert... we'd had a long day and were ready to call it a night, but the passion fruit mousse sounds interesting. No one ever came to claim the table we were turned away from at the start, it turns out.

    I had heard about this restaurant from a coworker. After speaking with two other coworkers that are…read morebrazilian, they told me what items from the menu to try. Wife and I got there when they opened, parked, right up front. Now, Google Maps taking you there, it gives you kind of the wrong direction, but i quickly found the front of the building and was able to park right in front of the restaurant. Speaking to whom I presume Is the owner about Google giving me the wrong direction ,He's says that happens a lot We ordered three different appetizers, they all were amazing.My main meal came out just as pictured.It was amazing as well. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Inside is more smaller intimate experience. This restaurant is a small hidden gem. I had no idea they've been in the area for almost a year now. If you are looking for a unique dining experience, I say this is definitely worth a visit
