Friendly and efficient, you can grab a drink and run off to class real quick. They have lots of options to choose from and the drinks are executed well. The only downside is that this place is not the best at having a group of people and chilling here since seats are limited. But besides that, solid place :)

The only thing I didn't like in my bowl was the açaí base.

Sorry, 4 stars.

I was hesitant at first but I finally tried something new and I wasn't disappointed. I picked up a "Vegan Pineapple Spinach" smoothie and got an "Angel Food Cake" smoothie for my friend. Both 20oz drinks filled us up and we were thrilled. The service was pleasant also, the person who took my order greeted me with a smile and was patient with me as a new comer. He gave favor recommendations and made it a breeze to order. Check Them Out!!

Sweet Berries is in a great location near Sweetwater and midtown. They serve a variety a breakfast/cafe and lunch foods. From acai bowls, to breakfast sandwiches, to sweet treats, they have something for everyone! They also have an extensive drink menu as well. I went there around 9am on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all. Upon walking in you are greeted with the nicest people. The staff is so friendly, accommodating, and efficient. They do a wonderful job running the eatery and keeping it very clean. The interior is the cutest thing. Very unique with such a fun vibe about it, it would be a great place to study. I absolutely love the telephone booth and floral accents throughout the inside. It is like nothing else in Midtown! Ordering is very simple and they will serve you your food once it is ready. I ended up ordering the veggie egg bites and the eggocado toast. The food came out within 10 minutes of me ordering and it was very fresh. You can tell they use higher quality, fresh ingredients. As the avocado toast definitely used real avocado and not a prepackaged spread. The protons are great and I thought the price was very reasonable for what I was served. The eggocado toast included 2 slices of a seeded toast, topped with avocado, lemon, red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, a hard boiled egg, cherry tomatoes, arugula, and hot sauce. I really enjoyed this dish, as it was nice and balanced. The eggs were boiled perfectly, the avocado and tomatoes were fresh, and the hot sauce, seasonings, and arugula complimented the dish very well. It was quite filling too. Would highly recommend ordering this, it hit the spot! The veggie egg bites were also a hit. As someone who really enjoys the Starbucks red pepper egg white bites, I was very excited to try these. They certainly didn't disappoint and were better than the Starbucks ones! They were egg white frittata bites with cheese, peppers, onions, and chives. The bites were also a good portion. They were fluffy with great flavor and balance. Really great and I would also order these again. Overall, I had a lovely meal here and would most definitely return! The service is great and the prices are very reasonable. I thought the portions were just right and the flavors were on point. The eggocado toast was super yummy and the perfect way to start my day. The egg white veggie bites were also quite tasty. I cannot wait to return and try more of their menu!!

They offer a variety of things including curated and signature bowls/salads, açaí bowls, smoothies, wraps, and some healthier treats. Their menu is quite extensive and they truly have something for everyone. Everything is also very customizable, which I appreciate! I didn't dine, but DoorDashed it instead. This was hassle free and not too expensive. I actually recommend going this route as you could save money through deals on those delivery apps. I will say, this food is slightly more expensive. But this is due to the quality of ingredients they use. I really love that they don't use seed oils and focus on using lots of whole foods. This is evident in the flavor of the food and the way you feel after eating it! I had to order their famous chicken caesar wrap. Their chicken caesar wrap includes lemon garlic chicken breast, lemon garlic kale, parmesan cheese, avocado slices, avocado caesar dressing, wrapped in either a white, spinach, or whole wheat tortilla that is pressed on a flattop. This was phenomenal and easily one of the best wraps I've had. It was huge and packed with ample amounts of chicken. The lemon garlic chicken was not dry at all and had great flavor. The lemon garlic kale accompanied the chicken perfectly and added a nice crunch. I appreciate them using kale as I felt like it didn't get soggy and the texture was nice in the wrap. The wrap also had a decent amount of sharp Parmesan which was just heavenly. The avocado was subtle, but added a creaminess to it. Then the avocado caesar dressing really ties everything together. I could go on and on about how good this wrap was. It was so balanced and there was just the amount of each ingredient in it, perfect lunch! I ended up getting a side of their kale & shaved brussel sprout salad as well, but didn't like this as much. The salad consisted of shredded kale, shaved brussel sprouts, carrots, cranberries, and maybe a nut of some sort (there isn't a description provided on their menu of this item). I was disappointed when there wasn't a dressing or something over it to bind everything together. With that being said, it was bland and not memorable. I think this would be better in a bowl as it's intended, not as a side! Overall, I was very impressed with Vale and they have easily become my favorite place to get a wrap from in Gainesville. I love that they focus on using healthy, high quality, whole foods, and avoid things like seed oils. It is evident in the flavor of their food. This does make the prices a bit higher, but you are really paying for what you get and I think the portions are worth it. My wrap my phenomenal and one of the best chicken caesar salad wraps I've had. The wrap was absolutely packed with chicken and had the perfect ratio of chicken to dressing to filling. It was a very filling meal and could easily be two servings. I will definitely need to come back and try some of their bowls as well, they truly have endless options to customize your own bowl. If you are looking for something healthier, filling, and delicious-- check this place out, you won't regret it!

We went on a Saturday morning, and they had 30% off all shakes. It did take a little bit, as there was only one person working when we first got there.

We also got the strawberry banana smoothie, which was good. I would not recommend the almond butter brownie. It was extremely salty.
