“Made my first visit this morning. Went in just to “look” and came out with 3 bundtlets. Just ate some of the snickerdoodle cake and OH MY it is so delicious!“

“I usually don't do too many reviews, but I must say Vine Sourdough Bakery is the best. I only do 100 percent whole wheat bread. So, I wanted 100 percent whole wheat sourdough bread. I could not find it anywhere in Ocala where I live.I searched the Internet for about a month and found Vine. I sent an email, they said yes they have 100 percent whole wheat sourdough bread. I went about two weeks ago & purchased 3 loaves. The best sourdough bread I ever taste. But, I got a coffee with oat milk & honey & a cinnamon roll. I know I wasn't supposed to have the cinnamon roll, but it looked delicious. I sat in my car & ate the cinnamon roll & drank my coffee. Baby, when I tell you that was the best cinnamon roll I ever tasted, you better believe me. The coffee was so good , just a smooth different taste than other coffee I drank. I went back inside & purchased two more cinnamon rolls, one for me & one for hubby for the next day. Thank you Vine Sourdough Bakery.“

“Best croissant I think I have ever had. I may be addicted after just the first visit!!“

“Everything i have had there is wonderful!“

“Wonderful things really do come in small packages! 🍩 Donut Connection may be a small shop, but the donuts are absolutely amazing. We picked one donut ourselves and let the incredibly friendly shopkeeper choose the rest and every choice was delicious! The dough was pillow-soft, fresh, and perfectly fluffy. Everything was so good, and the service was just as wonderful. We will definitely be going back! ❤🍩“

“I’m a big believer of baking bread in general store“

“I absolutely love this place. Not only do I save money on breads and snacks but there's so many other things. Granted prices have gone up but they're still less than the supermarkets. The people are always so pleasant and helpful too. Always worth the trip for me. The only problem I have is I almost have to rent a uhaul to cart all the stuff home lol.“

“Good food, great service, awesome drinks. Plus they work hard to be involved with the community. Visiting Flaco's is a win win situation!“

“Best coffee shop in Gainesville! Love coming by Afternoon Coffee to either pick up coffee, freshly roasted beans, or to sit and enjoy the garden outside. Great place to come get some work done, especially when the weather cools down. The team at the shop is always nice and always fast and the shop is clean and so fun to visit.“

“Always delicious!! Love their food and coffee! ☕️ check out the specials!!“

“Alicia made these gluten free sugar cookies for my sisters bachelorette party! These cookies were killer! The black frosting was actually black cocoa powder so no stains on the teeth.“

“Our second visit was just as great as first visit last month. Erin was super as usual and LT made us comfortable. They are five star all the way. We will definitely come again. A group of 10 men.“

“Water went from 89 cents southeast groceries, to 1.69 know and love. just ridiculous. prices are high throughout the store now.“
