    I saw that someone on Facebook asked about best ice cream spots around Gainesville and this one came up more than once. I was surprised since I have never heard of this place and come to find out it's brand new. I decided to make the drive and it was well worth it. So I don't like banana-flavored anything. I'll eat an actual banana, sure ,but when it comes to banana desserts? Hard pass. So when I got the Banana Cream Pie flavor at The Ice Cream Vault, I was expecting to take one polite bite and move on. But wow... it was actually really good. The banana pudding flavor was smooth and not overpowering, and there were soft little marshmallow pieces mixed in that gave it a fun texture. The best part? That bite of crust hidden in there, buttery, rich, and ridiculously good. I got lucky that they had just enough left over for me because their bucket was almost empty. They also have a great variety of other flavors and treats, including cheesecake, cupcakes, and cakes. I'll definitely be back to try something new. The carrot cake cheesecake is calling my name. Cute spot, worth the visit!

    Okay I love supporting new food businesses and Alachua is a great spot for this new ice cream place. They also just got a dirty soda concept upstairs. The ambiance was nothing special, but they boast 140 flavors of ice cream and they had every possible flavor you could think of. However, i wouldn't get the ice cream again because it was very grainy. If they just had the ice cream it would be a 2 star BUT they have a baked good section and the baked goods are where it's at!! I had the best key lime dessert I've ever had and their dessert cups were also amazing. So desserts and bakery items are a must, ice cream, while a cool concept, was a pass.

    Elephant ears ice cream in a small town... yes please!!!

    The service when these girls are working is REMARKABLE!!! They are polite and quick! Great team!!! The ice cream selection is the best!! Nice size servings!

    Area to pay, also offers baked goods

    This was quite fun. We had a reservation for high-tea and were immediately greeted and seated…read more There were lots of little knick-knacks and plenty to look at where we were sitting. It was pretty immersive with all of the dolls and the China cabinet full of tea sets. The server was very nice and helpful. I believe there are two servers that run the floor and it seemed to run quite smoothly. The food was delicious! I really enjoyed pretty much everything that was prepared and brought to the table. I definitely hope to go back again.

    What a wonderful place. Easy to see they Love what they do. What a deliciously enchanting tea…read moreexperience superlative to all other tea experiences that have come before, and there have been many. You see, I really don't like going for tea or well, it's more the spending a lot of good money on tea and ridiculous fingerling sandwiches and stale confectionary bits and such. I just don't ...but when you get a prescription for happiness, you fill it. And so, as it were, I've been to enough tea places to drown myself a few times over in tea and well, I'm often unhappy with the value. Lots of places like to cheat. So, I digress, of all the teas I've been to in all the years, I place this tea among the highest. Many thanks for creating a place where I can enjoy the experience as if I had been the purveyor myself. Well done.

    What a cute coffee spot in Alachua! I have had my eye on this place for some time and decided to…read moregrab a little lunch from Kookaburra. The coffee shop is bright, pretty spacious and had pretty moderate noise, great enough for some remote work. There's also an outdoor patio, however it's too hot to sit outside right now. Based on the reviews, I wanted to try out the Honey Badger with almond milk and a traditional meat pie with their signature hot sauce. While waiting I got a chance to look around the shop and they some cute swag and gift boxes for your tea or coffee lover friends or self. The first sip of the Honey Badger - I was in heaven, wow. This iced coffee had the perfect amount of sweetness from the vanilla and honey, with a kiss of cinnamon. I can see why this a favorite. The traditional meat pie was really good and not heavy. The only thing I didn't like is the crust was very salty. Thankfully, the hot sauce which was a sweet spice completely the tomato based flavors of the meat pie. I look forward to stopping by to satisfy my Honey Badger fix!

    I've been a kook for years! I've been to this location multiple times but the last time I was here…read moreI had the corker (Aussie pie) and matcha. Both were good! I had invited a friend with me as this was her first time and the baristas gave her an awesome recommendation. The ambiance as always is bright and the music just vibes (in a good way).
