Stopped here to meet a friend for breakfast A delightful quirky bakery with lots of natural ingredients. A small but eclectic selection, including fresh made pasta for sale. I had a chocolate croissant, which was excellent. Do not, however, order chocolate milk. They have milk, but they do not have chocolate. They poured a bag of fake chocolate powder that is normally added to water, to the milk. Obviously that was terrible. read more

This organic sourdough bakery located in Gainesville offers light bites, sandwiches, pastries, croissants, coffee and sourdough breads. The local treasure has seating indoors and outdoors. The interior atmosphere is vintage with an inviting eclectic feel. I had the Roasted Beet Sandwich $9.45 It was so unique and delicious. We went back two more times in a week and I had it both times. I also had a Kombucha $5.25. We also purchased some of the sourdough bread, pastries and cookies. The staff is very friendly and efficient. read more

Vine - Cookie and sourdough - Bakeries Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Great sourdough bakery with an eclectic feel! If you can get past the liberal, political propaganda in the front windows to the counter, you will get great service! It's a little pricey but worthwhile checking out. They have sandwiches, an assortment of sweets and of course their cranberry walnut sourdough! Yummy! With an advance order you can even buy a sourdough starter from them. read more

I was excited to see they had for sourdough baked goods, and the political messaging was great and positive and the shop had a beautiful environment. However, these are not croissants. There is no lamination (or destroyed to the point of unrecognizablility) the savory pastries were cloyingly sweet, flat and dense and had a yeast flavor that overwhelmed the butter. The almond croissant was not filled with frangipane but had it added in a folding process maybe? A break from traditional that did not work at all. Again, a dense bread roll that I cannot in good conscience call a croissant. An interesting culinary experience... one I would not pay (5$ each?!?) to try again. Better pastries at Publix :( Cool messaging though! read more

The pastries I got here were so delicious, especially the special which was a muscadine bialy! The ambiance is adorable and has a decent amount of seating both inside and outside. The servers Sofia, Sarah, and Lia were all so helpful, kind, patient, and knowledgeable in taking care of customers. I will certainly be back to try many more of their products! read more

A local gem! Looking for some of the freshest, most delicious pastries and breads in the city? Vine is where it's at! A cozy storefront on Main Street, the windows and doors of Vine are decorated with civil action posters, calls for equality and my fave, Yelp stickers showing how much we Yelpers love Vine! So before you even walk through the door, you know that this is a place where all are welcomed. Currently keeping us all safe, Vine has great COVID procedures, requiring masks, cutting down the number of guests in the shop and there's always sanitizer and masks available at the door! My personal fave? The hugeee Cinnamon Rolls that are bigger than my own little hands! Always soft, sweet, crunchy with glazed over sugar, the perfect treat with my morning coffee in the office! But Vine is bigger than just yummy pastries and bread, they also offer sandwiches, soups and even freshly made pasta. The possibilities are seemingly endless! So the next time you're on the hunt for a sweet morning treat, some picnic goods or just a baguette for dinner - Vine is worth a pop-in! read more

The desserts--5 stars. I had the guava and cream cheese croissant and the chocolate chip cookie. Both of which were baked today. They were so good and not overly sweet. The only downside to the desserts that they offer is that some of the desert aren't baked daily. I really want to come back and try the bread put in which I'm told is generally on Thursdays. The environment--2 stars. I hate to say it, but this place is not very clean. Although they do a good job of making available masks and hand sanitizer I was a bit disturbed by the lack of cleanliness both in the front of the house and the back of the house. It looks like the place had not been swept or mopped in weeks. They have outside seating which is great amid covid but the exterior is a bit run down. Now I will say that the employees are really nice. That's always something that I value. That's why I ended up giving 4 stars instead of 3. read more

Best Cinnamon buns I've ever had! Don't let how it looks fool you. It may not look like much but it is decadent and delicious. I was born and raised in MD, lived in Tucson, AZ for 4 years, and lived in Gainesville for the past year. I'm moving to Houston, TX, so I will definitely miss this place. The Cinnamon bun has layers of soft, sticky, flaky, crumbly, crisp, gooey goodness. My husband and coworker love the guava and cheese croissants. read more

A trip to Vine is a must. Fresh baked bread, pastries and fresh made pasta are just a few of the delicious offerings all made with wholesome organic ingredients. A great place for brunch/lunch with foodie friends. A good wine selection, great coffee and locally brewed beer in the hip East side of town. read more

3.5 stars. I have stopped in periodically since 2014. I come for the Cranberry Scones & Cranberry Walnut Bread. I truly enjoy both. Due to the baked goods using organic ingredients, they are; however, more expensive & they mold much faster than their processed counterparts. For me, though, those two offerings have earned FIVE STARS. (FYI: The patron favorite is the Sourdough loaf.) The bakery offers breads (sliced or whole loaf), scones, cinnamon rolls, croissants, muffins, cookies, pastries, bread pudding, pies, quiche, pressed sandwiches, pizza, soups, beer, wine, coffee, bottled beverages, & possibly much more. Lunch is available 11 AM to 2 PM. There are tables & counter seats inside along w/ children's games. I have never walked in & been greeted by ANY customer over the last 7 years. Often, patrons study near the windows. Should a canine accompany you, there are outside tables w/ umbrellas facing Main Street. Dine-in, Delivery, Takeout, & Curbside Service are available. There are some less-than-positive aspects of this business that SHOULD BE ADDRESSED by co-owners Theresa & Dean (although on the business page the bakery is described by the owners as a "woman-owned business." Technically, that would make almost every family business "woman-owned.") (1) As the cousin of a woman violently murdered, & after 20 years of teaching mainly poor black youth, being greeted by a sign that equates prisons to "slavery" is rather insulting. And as a taxpayer & someone who has worked w/ the poorest of youth, posting signs in support of disbanding Ice (@ the expense of that proposed action on the tax-paying working poor & middle class especially), is insulting. I WANT TO EAT GOOD FOOD, NOT BE GREETED BY POLITICAL FOOLISHNESS (or politics of ANY kind) before I've even stepped inside the door. (2) Only once in dozens of visits has staff been friendly. Only once! Management is responsible for training staff & fostering a welcoming environment. It has consistently failed in this area. Staff comes across as cold. I equate cold w/ arrogance or displeasure w/ one's job. (3) The floor-to-ceiling wall board is great, but it's often not updated. There's never been a time when all the baked goods listed on the board were available in the cases, which creates disappointment. (4) Often, regardless of the time I've stopped in, the bakery cases were very low in products. (5) There's a fee for using plastic, a fee that should be readily visible/posted in two or more places. Perhaps a posting could join the front window beside the political signs:) There also should be no mention of a cash discount. When one charges a fee for plastic, that does not save money for the patron paying w/ cash. (6) The Vine loaves sold at Ward's Supermarket are priced the same as the ones here @ the bakery. Why that is the case is confusing since there is no middle man; one would think the loaves here @ the bakery would be less expensive. I will continue to roll my eyes at the front window as long as Vine's owners are comfortable turning what should be a simple, relaxing dining experience into a political one, but I'll also continue to stop in for my two usual baked goods whenever I'm in town. They definitely know how to make quality scones & bread. WEAR A MASK HERE. There will be NO SERVICE without one even as we near the start of November 2021. The policy doesn't follow the science, but it is required. The star count was NOT lowered due to this; I covered above the reasons for my review & I covered my vaccinated self w/ a pretty chiffon mask that makes others feel safe. read more

This place was a god send for my family and I while my sister was in post op. at Shands. They use Central Milling flour, organic veggies whenever possible (which I'm certain is always) and everything we had was delicious. Hospital food is awful and to help my sister in recovery, we bought the Old 85 loaf for her to eat with bone broth. After she was able to eat more solid foods, she requested a soup, a quiche, and more bread. My family and I enjoyed the ham and cheese, guava and cheese, and almond croissant for breakfast and a pizza, pesto and beet sandwich for lunch. Everything was delicious! We were so happy to have good food while staying in the hospital. Not to mention that it's only two miles from the medical campus. Pastries are available upon opening and are restocked throughout the day as they make more. Lunch begins at 11:00 am and lasts until 2:00 pm. We'll be sure to stop and support Vine whenever we are back in Gainesville. read more

All I have to say is CROISSANTS!!! When you think of real buttery authentic French croissants, this place delivers. Also they serve wine at 8:00 am!!! read more

Nice staff, quick service fresh food. Got a baguette, quiche and a few sandwiches and all were very well done and tasty!

I am well aware that "no one eats bread any more" (to quote a wise Southern California woman), for this is not the 1900's and we no longer eat such fattening things. But when we DO eat them, we prefer they be loaves from Vine Sourdough Bakery of Gainesville. The loaf of theirs I bought from Ward's Supermarket was so excellent and so fresh, that I feel certain its wheat-grains had just been plucked from the vines on which they no doubt grew. Other closeted bread-lovers will well understand when I tell them that Vine Sourdough Bakery's bread had a crust that was just the right hardness, and an interior with just the right softness. There was absolutely nothing to improve upon in that loaf's slices, other than by providing the butter they needed on top. Commendable work, Vine Sourdough Bakery! Please keep it up, forever. read more

Best bread in town, no question. We are big fans of the jalapeño and onion and olive and garlic loaves, which they don't bake everyday, but you can always order it. We have even taken this breed traveling and mailed it upon request to friends, and everyone raves about it. read more

Stopped by here for a quick bite to start off our day and they served us well. Neat little shop/bakery that makes all their pastries and breads in house. Didn't get a chance to try much but their fig jam and cream cheese croissant was great! Perfect balance between sweet and savory. We also got their veggie sandwich which consisted of avocado, carrots, spinach, tomatoes and not sure what all else was packed in but it was very tasty as well. What made it even better was their homemade bread, delicious! Wouldn't mind stopping back by if ever in the area again. read more

This is my source for bread and pastries. They make wonderful baked goods and the cinnamon rolls are fantastic.

Ok so let me get the main review out of the way first: The Vine has tasty, fresh baked goods, a good atmosphere, is conveniently located near my house, and decent coffee. I like coming here and would encourage others to also visit here. Here's my only complaint, and it shouldn't be a big deal but I can't seem to get over it: you can't charge people an extra 5% when they use a credit card, and then say it's a "5% cash discount". Just call it what it is, a 5% charge. If you would just include it in the price of all goods, no one would notice. It just rubs me the wrong way when I pull out my card to pay and your employees say "one moment" and add an extra 50c to my bill without telling me why and then immediately swiping my card. read more

This is such a cute little local bakery. I visited for the first time today to get some bread because I heard they fermented theirs. The owner, Theresa was so informative and explained all the varieties to me and was so helpful. Their loaves are made from unbleached, organic flour and the fermentation process add even more to the health benefits. I bought the whole wheat and it was delicious. I'll definitely be back!

After having a bad experience last year I said I would not return, fortunately, I changed my mind. In recent times, I have been checking out Vine's goods at the downtown farmers market on Wednesdays and things have been great. The people have been friendly and the breads and baked goods have been tasty. I have stopped in the shop a couple times as well and those visits too have been good experiences. My most recent visit was to purchase treats for my co-workers and they thoroughly enjoyed them! One person out of the bunch had a few questions about ingredients. She called Vine to ask about them and they were very helpful. I'm so glad I started revisiting Vine again. That bread is so good, I bet you can't eat just one slice... read more

Just popped into Vine for what seems at this point like a speakeasy-style Sunday brunch. It was mostly quiet - even the bread was hiding - but the food was superb! Vine never under-achieves: their breads are rustic and hearty, their pasta fresh and flavorful, and the wine tasting dinner I attended there was so generous (re: tons of excellent breads, spreads, pastries, and wine) that I keep thinking if anything, they are under-stating themselves. Today, the single-page menu gave us 4 entree options: pepper and fontina quiche, tempeh scramble, rosemary toast with poached eggs, or brioche french toast. With those four options you get two choose two of four sides: yogurt parfait, zucchini bread, quinoa salad, or eggplant croquettes. Then you also get a lovely salad, in addition to what all you choose. Plenty of food, plenty of combos of choices. I splurged and had a beet-apple-mint juice with fresh mint ice cubes. I also ate everything on my plate! It was so satisfying. Highlights: the quinoa salad had a seasoned tahini dressing on it that was out of this world and the maple granola on the parfait was deliciously toasty and homemade! Best part: we had our food within ten minutes of ordering and got to hang out in a quiet space on a lazy Sunday. Hope for Vine's sake that more people get in on this seemingly-secret. read more

Disclaimer: this is a review for lunch, Vine offers pastries and bread that we didn't try this time around. This place has a nice atmosphere and cute decor. The gluten free almond drops are great, only 50 cents. Though we thought the sandwiches were mediocre for the price. We had the beet sandwich and an open face ham and cheese, and the bread definitely out shined the other ingredients. We could tell the bread was made in house, we'll be coming back to try more of the pastries and bread. read more

Cute little place. Love the strong tree iced coffee and all the baked goods! My friend and I had the chocolate, butter, and guava cheese croissants. We also had the apple and brie quiche. Affordable as well! I also took home a loaf of the old 85 for my family to try at home. We'll see what they say and this 4 star may go up to 5. read more

Honestly, nothing much good to say. It's a place. There is food. That's where the two stars come from. The lack of three comes from the fact the bread isn't very good, the "decor" is set in a post-apocalyptic bunker ft. political signs galore, the customer service... that of the DVM. A week prior we had gone to Uppercrust and wanted to try other bakeries. We got a loaf from both places and the one here did not taste fresh whatsoever and rather chewy. A few days later in our cupboard was leftovers of the loaf here and of the other bakery and the one from Vine was fully encased in mold with not a touch on the other loaf. You're better off heading to Walmart for bread 1/3 the price and double the taste and longevity. read more
