I appreciate the quality ingredients, friendly server and local ownership. My first weekday brunch visit so far went very well. A friend had the burger with fries and a side salad, which he found very satisfying and filling. I had the Lebanese Hash which was delicious though not as big as you'd get at another brunch diner. Still I was full and happy, not stuffed and drowsy when done. read more

I have not reviewed anything on Yelp in a long, long time. I have now eaten here three times and the food quality, taste, and consistency is absolutely terrific. In my previous reviews I Utilized a Good, Bad, and Ugly rating scale. I really like most everything about Superette. The staff are very eclectic and nice, outdoor dining is relaxing and invigorating. There are not many things better than sitting outside under oak trees while eating delicious savory food and enjoying a good wine or cocktails. Replaying last night's dinner in my head has me planning my next visit to Superette. Sunday brunch this weekend is calling my name. Oh,'one more thing, Superette is also the place to go where you will only run into the people you like. The folks you don't care for are not going to be there. Just my observation. read more

Superette was such a beautiful and memorable experience. I ordered the hibiscus spritz, which was refreshing, floral, and perfectly balanced, such a pretty drink. The sweet potato soup had a puréed, baby‑food texture, but the flavor itself was surprisingly rich and comforting. The star for me was the Tunisian casse‑croûte. The flavors were incredible; the albacore was tender and seasoned just right, the salata mechouia added this smoky, roasted pepper depth, and the pickled egg brought the perfect tangy brightness. The arugula gave it a fresh, peppery lift, and the harissa aioli tied everything together with a warm, subtle heat. The fries on top added the best crunchy contrast. Every bite was layered, bold, and so satisfying. read more

I've been here quite a few times and didn't realize I never added a review. Cute place for quick bites or meetup with a friend or friends. I had the falafel platter and it was good! My friend and I shared their fries and it was the first time I had them and they were delicious! I tried a mocktail and it wasn't good to me so I returned it for something else. Definitely will always come back! Women owned and their fries are delicious! Service and server was attentive and polite! read more

Had a wonderful lunch here at Superette. The staff is lovely and the food delicious. Loved what they did with the place. Plenty of seating. Especially outside. We chose a lighter lunch and shared three options to get a feel of the food. Spanakopita (appetizer), hummus (appetizer), and fattoush salad. Spanakopita: three perfect triangles that are buttery light with a spinach and creamy feta filling. Hummus: nice size portion. It was not too thick with a drizzle of olive oil and dukka sprinkled on top. Fattoush Salad: romaine fresh and crisp. I like that the ribs were cut out. The salad was like treasure. Thin slices of watermelon radish, dried cranberries and crispy lavash with a light vinaigrette. I know I'm missing a few extra ingredients but it was lovely. Worth the trip. The menu also has breakfast items. And they're open for dinner. read more

The outdoor seating here is beautiful and open, and going on a cooler day makes the whole place feel like the perfect weekend vibe. My friends and I spent a few hours enjoying brunch, mimosas, wine, oysters, laughter, and great service. I had the salmon Benedict this time and it was amazing -- super flavorful, fresh, and definitely something I'd order again. We've also met the owner a few times while visiting and she's always so pleasant. You can tell she's passionate about what she's created here. This is definitely one of my Gainesville favorites and honestly a hidden gem in the city. read more

Update: I went again with a smaller group of ppl this time (5 ppl). I really enjoyed my time. I wasn't eaten by mosquitos bc it was the day time. It was beautiful outside so we sat outside. We moved tables quite a bit do to our size and the server didn't mind it (probably bc it had just opened). The food was great and the service is great. I truly recommend anyone come here, especially for brunch/lunch. Again, I would avoid sitting outside at night if you're someone like me that the mosquitos love. read more

Happy hour is the happiest of all hours starts at Superette. I did a solo outing here Friday night. I believe happy hour is from 4 - 7pm daily. Thankfully, the weather was good enough to sit outside in the garden area. Sitting the garden area subjects you to ordering at the counter, so if you prefer a waiter - sit inside. I ordered the Mediterranean Mule and for my snack I ordered the shoestring French fries. The Mediterranean Mule has the traditional elements of a Moscow Mule but has fig vodka which gave it more of a sweeter profile that was surprisingly delicious. It still had an earthy/herbal taste more than a traditional mule but was very good and strong. I enjoyed two of these! For the snack, the shoestring French fries are coated in a Lebanese seasoning that was savory with a hint a spice. These fries were addicting! The sauce which was a garlic aioli - elevated the fries even more, and I love a good garlic aioli as well. It was creamy and had the perfect balance of garlic. Overall, a great happy hour spot and atmosphere. Also, the service was very good as well from the hostess to the counter service. read more

I visited this location several times during its first few months of business, in-fact, I actually booked the very first event hosted there! Back then, I really loved the wine, the vibe, and the patio. However, I didn't love having to order at the counter, fill my own water, or clear my own table. Those self-serve elements didn't match the price point or the potential the space clearly had. Fast forward to yesterday, years later, when I was pleasantly surprised by an elevated experience. A friendly hostess greeted us outside and walked us to a table. We were immediately given menus and water. Within minutes, all my previous concerns about customer service were out the window. I found myself genuinely impressed by the attentive service. The decor is as cute as I remembered, the patio remains a gem, and the wine was just as delicious. I was also happy to see they now offer a full food menu, which I'm excited to try on future visits. This place is a perfect spot for a girls' night, brunch, or a date. Highly recommend! read more

Superette - Phyllo French Toast- Orange blossom custard-soaked phyllo, pistachio crème anglaise, honey - Wine Bars Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

All the food was very good and fairly flavorful. My favorite plate was the whipped feta! The whipped feta is buttery, fruity from the olive oil, and nutty from the pistachios. The plates felt like they were missing a special something to round out the meal, like an extra topping or side. I wish the portions of some of the dishes were a little bigger. The breakfast plate with 2 eggs, bacon, biscuit, and potatoes came out to $20 after tip and tax and I felt it wan't worth the price. I'm taking another star off for the wait. From being seated to getting our cards back, it took almost 2 hours. Our entrees took around 40 minutes to arrive. Our waiter was very nice, though. The ambience is BEAUTIFUL! Such an adorable place to come for brunch. It feels really unique and such a little gem. read more

This place has a super cute vibe and a very unique menu! I sat in the garden and there was plenty of seating with pretty good service. Just be aware that if you sit in the garden you have to go up to the bar and order as opposed to being waited on, but they will still bring your meal out to you. I ordered the phyllo French toast, and the presentation was beautiful, but unfortunately it looked better than it tasted. It wasn't bad by any means, but it lacked a little in flavor and seemed slightly undercooked. The concept was very good but I wish the execution was a little better. Overall a cute place but a little overpriced, especially since the food (at least what I ordered) was just alright. read more

I just want to say the food and the service was good. I also liked the atmosphere. It was a nice place for me and few friends to hang out.

Super cute place (it doesn't even feel like you're in Gainesville haha). We only stopped by for late night happy hour, but there was plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, as well as live music outside. The staff was friendly and I hope to come back one day. The only complaint I have was that we were overcharged for our drinks on our tab and had to double check and get them fixed by the staff before leaving. read more

Superette - Lebanese hash, French toast, whipped feta, ham & cheese sandwich with fries and aioli. - Wine Bars Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I thought the ambiance was serene and the food was delicious. I loved how peaceful it was to sit there surrounded by greenery, butterflies, and birds chirping as I ate. However, the discontent I have with the establishment lies more with the service. It would've been fine that we had to serve ourselves if we had not automatically received an automatic 20% tip tacked onto each of our bills for being a large party. Not only did we have to grab glasses and refill them ourselves at a station nearby, we also had to grab our own utensils and napkins. My friend also had a very minor customization, this being to remove bacon off her sandwich and they somehow ended up taking the longest on her order to the point she had to ask the waiter about it. She had also ordered first in our group. In addition, they forgot a side she had and when she asked them to get it, it took quite long for it to come out. Other than that, the food was great and we still enjoyed our eating experience at the restaurant. read more

Service was non existent. There was no opportunity for me to leave any impression, considering no service was provided. Furthermore, the owner Maya does not receive feedback well... or at all. She answers back without any sense of professionalism. If the owner has no will for improvement, then how could the team or business? The food was terrible, considering we ordered, waited an hour, and never got served (not even our draft beer) The ambiance was nice at first and just perpetually grew sour as time passed on... As an Arab, this service is far from the hospitable culture that should be represented. Tsk tsk tsk... what a shame. read more

I had the worst restaurant experience I have ever had on June 11, 2026. The service was horrible. It took four times to get the checks correct and it still was not correct. All our food took very long to get and I never even got my meal. My daughters meal was wrong and when she did get her meal the rice was very cold and the Salmon was way over done. The server was struggling and no one assisted him and we never saw a manager. I will not be back, it was that bad. read more

We went to Superette to celebrate a birthday, and right off the bat, the restaurant was beautiful. We chose to sit outside and the lighting, set up and atmosphere was very nice. I'd recommend this place more for a small get together, than a restaurant per se. The food however, was a bit of a hit or miss. I ordered the short rib, which I enjoyed, and the green beans and grits accompanied it well. However, the salmon and shawarma plate were not flavorful. The house smoked salmon, tried by 4 of our guests, wasn't very tasty. The shawarma chicken was very dry and had little to no taste, unfortunately. Overall, I enjoyed the friendly staff and ambiance of Superette, but would come for the drinks, charcuterie, or atmosphere rather than a dinner. read more

Came here for Saturday brunch and the ambience was amazing. There were few customers and the weather was nice so we were able to take advantage of their beautiful outdoor seating. I think that the vibes were truly immaculate. I believe they have different seasonal menus. We got the breakfast plate, phyllo french toast, and hummus. My friends got the lebanese hash and smoked salmon benedict. The breakfast plate has the option of their personal breakfast sausage which was flavorful and, in my opinion, better than regular American breakfast sausages. Otherwise, the plate comes with eggs, potato hash and some jams. Everything tasted great but I did order my eggs over hard and received a moderately runny egg. My friend ordered an over easy egg in her hash and got a moderately hard egg. The phyllo french toast was GREAT. I was afraid it would be too sweet but the flavor was lovely, the texture was soft and layered. This is truly one of those items that are unique to a place and definitely worth trying. The hummus was also decent. The smoked salmon came with pieces of cooked salmon, rather than the cold smoked salmon you would see in charcuterie or a bagel. It was drizzled in a creamy sauce that paired great with the egg and fish. Only complaints are that the service was horrendously slow, especially considering there was only two other parties. Most of our food came out within minutes of each other but the phyllo french toast came out probably in about, if not more than, half an hour after everything else and the staff acted like I was rushing them when I inquired about its status. After we finished eating, it also took forever to get our boxes and check. We ended up having to get up and get the boxes ourselves after still not getting it after asking twice. read more

This is a very elegant place. The outside seating makes you feel relaxed and has a garden feel to it. You can sit inside of out at the many table and chair choices. We settled in on a chair with backs that was in line with the huge fan that was cooling off our entire area. I ordered the chicken shawarma and a cane sugar ginger ale. The tzatziki sauce was on point and the pita bread was ouffy and warm! Just a delicious meal! We had just done a three hour bike ride to Paines Prairie, so this meal was tasty and the perfect end of our jaunt! I think I will try the burger, next time, as it was a coin flip between the burger and the delicious chicken. Our servers were very polite and professional, even though there were only two of them serving about 40 people. I am a chef, so I know how restaurants run. It seemed they were short-staffed, but service harly suffered. Sorry, no pic, we just munched the food immediately, after our bike ride!! read more

I enjoyed the salmon eggs Benedict- two poached eggs atop salmon and English muffins with their own Hollandaise sauce on top. Light and tasty. My aunt ordered a pastrami sandwich, which she said was great, the mustard giving it a nice flavor. We enjoyed the shaded outside patio. My cousin got a vegetarian option to-go and said it rocked. read more

Very cute place for food and wine. There's ample outdoor seating. It's self service (for brunch at least) and we ordered at the counter. I got the Lebanese hash, which I loved. The sauce and herbs were a nice addition to the hash. The whipped feta with pistachios and olive oil was great too. The only thing is that I wish it came with more bread. I've been previously at night for just wine and olive oil cake, and had a great time then too. read more

Food is always on point but as other people have mentioned before the service is incredibly slow. They really need a better system other than ordering at the outside garden area. The line gets backed up easily as well and it just adds time to your overall dining experience. Plan to spend at least 2 to 2 1/2 hours here for any big meal. The food and ambiance really keep me coming back. read more

Superette is by far one of my favorite places in Gainesville. I love their outdoor patio and it's cute vibes. There always seems to be some sort of exciting thing happening there. Everyone who works there is so kind and helpful. I am almost always asking for recommendations and they never fail me. The food is delicious! I have yet to have anything there I didn't like. Their whipped feta specifically is probably my favorite dish. I ordered the Lebanese hash today and it was such a great twist on a typical breakfast hash. The spices added were delightful. read more

Well the owner has now posted a reply that is a complete misrepresentation instead of trying to fix a simple problem - completely tracks with the behavior described in my post. So, we were NOT asked to sit in a waiting area - we were told we had to sit in two specific chairs next to the entry door - no other choices Even though there is plenty of bench seating away from the entry door. We told the hostess, we would wait on the bench seating and she said no, we were not allowed even though there was another guest waiting there. Also, we were not given options on where to sit and the explanation given - cutting staff - does not make any sense. There are tables that are not under the tent that are just as close to the restaurant. and yes, you can fall in love with a restaurant and its space and when the owner changes the usability of the space and treats you as a child, you can fall out of love with it. read more
