The beer selection is surprisingly broad for a small shop, with plenty of local brews and rotating options that make it easy to grab something new each visit. Prices are fair, and the staff keeps the place running smoothly even when it gets busy. What really sets it apart is the vibe -- relaxed, unfussy, and very Gainesville. Whether you're picking up a quick drink before heading downtown or stocking up for a low‑key night, Pop A Top is reliable, friendly, and exactly what you want from a local corner store.

I discovered Gate this past semester and am so happy I did! Located right by my apartment, it is…read moresuper convenient. Gate is a fairly new gas station and is really nice. The inside is always kept clean and the staff is super nice. Seriously, their staff is super friendly. There have been multiple occasions where they have gone out of their way to help me. Gate's selection of snacks is top notch as well. I find that they carry a lot more options than Wawa down the road. Along with their greater selection of snacks, they offer a lot more hot or made-to-order options as well. They are always restocking things too, so you will most likely find what you are looking for. While I don't own a car in Gainesville, this is a gas station and has pumps, not just food! Haven't used the bathrooms, but I'd guess they are clean. One of the main reasons I've started coming here more often (aside from their awesome food selection) is their frozen yogurt. This particular Gate offers frozen yogurt. You don't pay by the weight either. They offer small cups for customers to fill up with as much froyo they can fit. There are about 6 flavors to choose from, although 2 of them haven't been available when I've come. Along with the frozen yogurt, there is a toppings bar. While the toppings selection isn't huge, it is sufficient and provides most of what you would need. Toppings include a small variety of chocolate candies, cookies, sour gummies, cereals, boba, and drizzles. I will also note the toppings bar has always been very clean each time I've visited. The frozen yogurt is about $5 for a cup. All the cups are the same size. I absolutely love coming in here to get froyo as there isn't any close to campus. Some other things I thoroughly enjoy from Gate are their food options. My favorite being their cookies, which come in a pack of two. The cookies are baked fresh daily and taste amazing. I've never had a gas station cookie that wowed me this much. I highly recommend the chocolate chip, but the white chocolate macadamia is good too. Sometimes if they are out a particular flavor, you can ask the desk and the kitchen might be able to help you out! On one occasion I was able to get my hands on freshly baked chocolate chip cookies just by asking if anymore were available. This is also an example of how great their staff is!! This is a lengthy review for a gas station, but I love Gate! They offer an awesome selection of snacks and drinks you cannot find at Wawa or Publix. They even have pints of BlueBell ice cream available. While the frozen yogurt is undoubtedly one of the reasons I come here. I would stop by to enjoy their cookies ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. The staff is awesome, the inside is kept clean--what more could you want?

I tell him it is for Yelp and he smiles and says that he hopes it makes more customers come in. I told him that that's the idea, and walked back out to my car. I watxhed them build this place from scratch, and it is rlas roomy as it is impressive. Drinks, donuts, coffee, frozen yogurt, and more! Check this place out while it is still sparkling! It is much different than other gas stations! Plus, the gas was like $2.19/gal!! What!?

So, you want me to wait over here where there is no one to help me instead of asking you to do your job and prepare an order that should already be ready in the first place? No. Every other Wawa in town has a delivery pickup rack in a certain place. I looked for it in this store, too. It wasn't there. All you had to do is have the order ready. It is not a flex to not have the order ready and act like you don't want to be there. I don't want to be here either. Thank you to the young lady who actually did get the order ready, I apologize for not getting your name to recognize your kindness and quickness. Wawa, you might want to watch "Ma V", whatever kind of name that even is, I don't know, but she definitely needs more training in customer service.
