Went with a friend; the server was very friendly and the food was great! Honestly, a little pricey in my opinion but the local atmosphere and service make up for it.
Great little hole in the wall sandwich place. Food is fresh, gelato is delicious, and they serve these amazing crepes all day. The staff are really nice and the prices are fair. I'll be back.
Is this place under new management? It used to be one of our favorite spots, and we drove a long way to get there. But wow...no wonder it was completely empty on our recent visit. We realized this was not the same experience we’d enjoyed in the past when three of us got our meals about 10-15 minutes before the fourth in our party got his. We waited for his to arrive to start eating, so our food was cold by that time. The crepes were delivered to the wrong people. So the person who wouldn’t voluntarily touch prosciutto with a 10-foot pole dug in, expecting sausage, only to be grossed out by a mouthful of not-sausage, while the person who actually ordered the prosciutto accidentally devoured half of the wrong crepe. At least there would be a nice, warm mug of coffee...but, no. The coffee was undrinkable. We are coffee lovers, and this mug of coffee had a strong chemical taste. We quietly asked the girl who took our orders if possibly we’d gotten a mug of coffee from a machine that had some cleaning solution in it. No, she said. I pushed a bit, thinking the coffee could be dangerous to drink. “It tastes and smells like bleach,” I told her. “We don’t have bleach here,” she said. No apology. She offered another cup from the same pot. Uh...no thanks. Can I get my $6 tip back? I screamed silently in my own mind. She didn’t hear me. When we gathered our plates (you have to bus your own table) I asked if she wanted me to take my untouched coffee to the bussing station. “You can leave it,” she offered graciously. Can I get my tip back? I silently screamed all the way home. Enjoy my $45, Gelato Co. We can’t afford to throw money away, so will never spend another cent with you.
This review is rating the Gelato only and the restaurant facility not the rest of the menu. My daughter and I went here on a very hot day temperature was around 100. First this is a in a nice old building. They had about six gelatos to choose from. I had the Lemon Honey and it was delicious my daughter thought hers was great too. Their menu board is gorgeous it is written in many colors of chalk and the lettering is very artistic and attractive. Not a real lot of seating but was not crowded when we were there. The lady that was working was very nice. Would like to have lunch there someday they offer a variety of sandwiches. But we are only in Gainesville twice a year. Downtown and you have to park on the street or in a deck. Street parking is free if you can find a place.
Family owned and service can be a bit slow, but very yummy and cozy!
The sandwich I got here was spectacular. It was a grilled ham & cheese but can't remember the special ham name. The service guy was great, very helpful & nice. Definitely a great place to visit!
We have a large menu of Breakfast ALL DAY!!! Sandwhich n Paninis that come with your choice of 2 sides (if you purchase a drink you get a FREE small gelato!! Large salads and crepes!! Most Important thing- WE MAKE EVERYTHING FROM SCRATCH! From our salad dressings down to our croutons
This place has some of the best food in Gainesville. I go whenever I’m downtown and get the AMAZING cucumber delight sandwich. It’s pretty reasonably priced too. Great atmosphere.
It's a decently little place, though I can't say the gelato is super authentic or that amazing. The food options looked pretty good, however and they have a deal to get a small gelato with your meal.
Perfect spot to celebrate our graduate today! Owners and staff were so considerate and had every thing ready when we arrived! The food was fantastic and the gelato was amazing! Service and atmosphere was just what we needed for our gathering!

The green salad dressing is so good. I get this salad Everytime. And the occasional crepe which is great as well.
Cute place. Amazing gelato. They have crepes. Lots of amazing crepes! And breakfast foods. Yum! Wish they brewed their tea fresh, but no place is perfect I guess.
Go in so you get the full experience! Bite Squad does not tell you all the FLAVORS!
I love this place because I always go with my friends. Food is good. Atmosphere is good. Prices are right.
Very clean gelato shop. The waitstaff are happy and energetic, tables for quaint seating very zen area. The most important thing is the gelato and it is excellent. Give it a try we celebrated a birthday here
