    Spiced beef and Salami.

    Would of went up to 4 stars if bead was fresh. It didn't hold up. Would suggest and upgrade there. Meat was spot on. But it's the small thing that counts and you can't get cheap or careless with the bread. Nice little place and I feel that if they upgrade the bread, it would be a 4 or even 5 star shop. It is a good solid place to stop if you are in Gainesville. In short better than a Subway but shy of a true Deli. It has potential though.

    LOVE the Hippo Delite. If I could give the Hungry Hippo 10 stars, I would. Have tried several of their sammiches over the last year and have never been disappointed

    My husband brings sub sandwiches home for lunch pretty often. They are always fresh...no soggy bread. I recommend them often.

    Starting the new year by choosing a healthier food option? This place should be on rotation. I love…read moretheir bowls! It's the perfect balance of protein, chicken, and veggies. My top two favorite is the Thai coconut chicken bowl and spicy Korean bowl. The food just tastes so fresh. I do get tired of eating rice sometimes. It's nice that they have different bases to add instead, such as sweet potatoes, roasted veggies, cauliflower rice, etc. I also like to add their fresh juices with my meal. I'll admit that I don't eat enough greens, so I opted for the power green to get my fix of kale, cucumber, and celery. If you're an açaí bowl person, I would definitely get this if you're not super hungry. They do have a drive by area for pick-up orders only. With that said, you can also order through DoorDash if you can't stop by in person. I'll be visiting often since this is such a clean and delicious way to eat without feeling heavy/greasy.

    Food is delicious here!! Always tastes fresh and very flavorful. No guilt and all pleasure. I keep…read moregoing back to the Thai Coconut Bowl or salads, so good. Service is very friendly, super accommodating. Restaurant is super clean. Fair warning: 1) Food is on the pricier side. 2) This is not fast food. It will take a minute for them to prep because it's fresh. On a non-busy day my food will take about 7-10 minutes. If they're busy, longer. However, they do have an app you can pre-order from.
