    It was very easy to order from this company, but the quality of the desserts were very underwhelming and the prices were high.

    Gainesville snack scene at its best! This place was bustling when we went in. Didn't have to wait…read moretoo long. Food and drink hit the spot We got the combo. Get a drink and snack and get a dessert for free. Kiosk was a bit tricky, but staff was standing by to help. Drinks were decent. Red bean milk tea, large size, light ice, and 25% sweet. You get the idea--lots of customizations were available. There were a large selection of snacks on the menu. Tempted to get the popcorn chicken ,but went with the veggie ramen. The spouts were crunchy, leafy greens were fresh, and the soup base flavorful. Served in a plastic bowl. Lots of snacks to choose from too. The ube cream puff was pre wrapped. The comment was it was better than it looks. And it didt look that bad... Thumbs up for this place. Including the bonus star for family owned, top marks!

    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.

    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

    Our family was visiting Gainesville for the weekend, and stopped by here for dessert for the first…read moretime. We were all disappointed with everything. This was our first time having rolled ice cream, and it unfortunately didn't meet our expectations. Rather than being rolled and packed nicely in a cup, our ice cream was loosely rolled and smooshed into a cup. Their new steamed buns on their menu were overcooked and dried out. We really wanted to like this spot, but this visit was an unfortunately a big miss for us.

    High hopes based on the reviews First. The inside was so…read morehot. Like sweltering. Not good for an ice cream joint. The server was super nice and friendly. I had chai tea w tapioca boba. It had ok flavor but needed more ice. It was lukewarm. Tapioca boba was as expected. For ice cream I had corrupt cookie. I was so excited to try rolled ice cream. Completely disappointed. I didn't taste cookie dough. I didn't taste fudge brownie and there was no chocolate syrup. The ice cream tasted old. Like it was left open for weeks. 4 bites and I threw it out. My daughter had the wake me up and she didn't like it either. Funny taste and like the ice cream was old or left out. Trashed after 4 bites. And the place is expensive My daughter also bought some cute little cositas. But expensive too. She picked up a pack of pens and they wanted to charge us 2.99 per pen??? Almost 20$ for a pack. Um no ty We won't be back here.
