    My nasty bowl from vale.

    This place is NOT good. I've been trying all of the healthy spots in Gainesville lately, and this is by far the worst one. Let's start with the overall vibe, it's not the cleanest place. Seems poorly managed/ cleaned. The staff is also not friendly. The food is the real shocker here, because it's not like some sort of complicated idea. Just make good healthy food with decent portions. It tastes horrible. The sauce they give you on the side is TINY. They compeltely skimp the food portions, I ate my entire "2 bowl" and still wound up having to pick up a snack from Whole Foods. My "boost" was edamame, which was cold, and compeltely off tasting. They gave me like 6 pieces of edamame, it was a joke. The ground beef was an up charge, which makes no sense. Like it's ground beef? Clean up this place, hire better people, make food that people actually like, not stuff they force feed themselves to feel "healthy" Once their customer base discovers Bolay, this place will quickly die out.

    Guac Around Globe Bowl

    Had a great meal here! The food was delicious- got the guac around bowl but with Mediterranean chicken instead and it was really good! Wish there were more protein and veggies though, since the rice took up most of the bowl space. We also got a regular acai and it was very good. Service was quick and the servers were very kind. Plus, the music they were playing was really nice haha

    Buffalo ChickenSalad

    Stopped by & had the Buffalo Chicken Salad. This was absolutely amazing! The prices were a little high, however the quality and the quantity were also high! ;) This was a salad that left me feeling very full. In fact, I couldn't finish it! I wanted to so badly, but I was absolutely full of greens and delightful veggies. We sat outside because our good boy, Charlie, was with us. But indoor seating is also available. Service was friendly and kind.

    I really like the concept of Vale. I am able to pick and choose what I would like in my salad - the greens, the chicken, and the veggies. A small usually works for me and that's perfect. The employees are always very friendly and very helpful here. I'm glad that they have expanded their locations and are more accessible than ever! It is in a strip mall so its easy to find parking here. They have many items here with açaí bowls, poke and açaí bowls, smoothies and more. Besides cold items, they also have a hot bar. If you are gluten free, vegan or omni, this is your go to. They give a nice portion which is awesome since I think their prices are very fair compared to some other places. Give it a whirl. You can sit down or take it go.

    Hot bowl
    Natalie A.

    Came here after a long day and was greeted by happy and helpful staff, good smells, and delicious bowls! Vale has a cold bar with acai bowls, smoothies, avocado toast, and poke bowls. They also have a hot bar (similar to Bolay) with high quality choices. They had mainly chicken choices for a meat, broccoli, and brussel sprouts. My favorite base is the avocado, kale, brussels salad. So good! We were able to make one standard bowl last for two dinners, they really fill you up! Healthy and filling for a great price!

    OMG where do I start?! Gainesville Hub is a super cute breakfast/lunch place located in downtown…read moreGainesville. They focus on serving higher protein options, using cleaner ingredients. Their menu consists of a variety of protein milkshakes, smoothies, customizable açaí bowls, waffles, and churros, as well as different types of teas/energy drinks. They give you the option to choose your own toppings and drizzles for the acai bowls, waffles, and churros, which is cool! It is quite like nothing I've been to before, in the best way! The interior is welcoming and fun. With gator memorabilia, including signed jerseys. The service is excellent and so personable. The husband and wife team who own the eatery are the nicest people. They are so sweet and really go out of their way to make sure their customers are satisfied. My dad and I both ordered a protein Belgian waffle topped with strawberries and blueberries, with a honey drizzle. The ordering system is super simple. You just order and pay at the front and they will bring it to you when it is ready. They served us our waters, my dad's milk, and some cutlery while our food was being prepared. The food came out roughly 10-15 after we ordered. It was presented very nicely and aesthetically. The waffle was hands down the best protein waffle I've ever had. It was dense, thick, and fluffy, but didn't have an artificial protein taste to it at all. The fresh berries and honey on top were the perfect addition. I also appreciated the sugar free syrup and swirls of cool whip and the side. The meal was very filling and satiating as well. Overall, I was more than impressed with Gainzville Hub! It is a wonderful establishment in downtown Gainesville serving great protein packed options. The inside is unique and fun. Service was awesome, super friendly, and efficient. The food -- phenomenal! Absolutely loved my protein Belgian waffle and had nothing but rave things to say about it. I also really appreciate how connected they are with the community and the school. You can tell they really care about their guests and the people who come by! Cannot wait to stop by again and try more menu items!

I didn't taste cookie dough. I didn't taste fudge brownie and there was no chocolate syrup. The ice cream tasted old. Like it was left open for weeks. 4 bites and I threw it out. My daughter had the wake me up and she didn't like it either. Funny taste and like the ice cream was old or left out. Trashed after 4 bites. And the place is expensive My daughter also bought some cute little cositas. But expensive too. She picked up a pack of pens and they wanted to charge us 2.99 per pen??? Almost 20$ for a pack. Um no ty We won't be back here.

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!!
