The bakery is phenomenal. For some items you need to get there early. It's just a small place, not cheap but quality. Homemade. Not sure about sandwiches but we had a rose roll which they heated for us and was delicious. Quite sure this is a locals favorite. We will go back when in the area.

Lady at counter was a bit short with us. She must have had a hard day. If you want fresh baked italian bread you have to pre-order. They are a bit pricey.

My daughter went in to get a cronut for me for my birthday and the lady was so rude to her, very nasty attitude over a simple misunderstanding that actually was my fault (I thought they took orders over phone ) no I wasn’t the one she had attitude with because I would left the pastry on the counter and told her about herself but my daughter isn’t that way, needless to say even though the pastry was (good )we won’t be back because the atmosphere in a place of business should be just as good as the product and that definitely wasnt the case…..

You don’t see places like these very often anymore. The pastries and cookies are all homemade. The Boarshead sandwiches are excellent. They have Italian water ice and gourmet ice cream. Flavored coffees and ice coffees available . The prices are very reasonable. This place is Gainesville’s hidden gem.

The guava and cream cheese pastry and the key lime coconut pastry are incredible! My husband got the Italian sandwich and said it was the best one he ever had. I had the vegetarian pesto mozzarella and tomato panini and it was delicious as well.

This place has so many delicious desserts, lots of food options, and take away meals for you to warm up at home. We loved it!

Vegetarian options: There were two vegetarian sandwich options at lunchtime which is not a ton of choices, but the one I had was delicious.

Such a cute little gem hidden in Gainesville. My husband and I were able to share a breakfast sandwich and a pastry. The ciabatta bread is the softest I've ever had and was so fresh and delicious and the cream cheese cinnamon pastry was flaky and soft.

So good! The ham and cheese croissant is so yummy. I think the cinnamon rolls were my favorite out of the case and my teens loved the cookies.

Staff are very RUDE and baked goods are below average. Selection also is poor, usually only three or four selections.
