Sadly didn’t get pictures cause we ate too fast. Food was delicious and surprisingly healthy in terms of high protein and low calorie. Atmosphere is very chill, like a cool coffee shop or hip study spot. Huge menu with tons of options to customize your own waffles, acai bowls, churros, shakes, coffee, etc. Definitely our new breakfast place.

Not only are the food and drinks absolutely amazing, the owners, Manny and Melanie, are sunshine in human form. They immediately made me feel at home and welcomed upon meeting them. I got the protein churros and the Cookie Monster protein shake. I will hands down say these are the best churros and protein shakes I’ve ever had in my life. The fact that these churros have protein in them blow my mind and I couldn’t be happier. 1000/10 recommend them.

I LOVE GAINZVILLE HUB! This place is my home away from home. Every time I walk in the doors, I am greeted with the biggest smile, warmest welcome, and friendliest staff in the world. The owners are so extremely passionate about this place, and it shows. I don't work for GainzVille Hub, but my friends think I do based on how often I post photos of their food (sneak peek below). I love showing my support for this place because of the special experience they create for their customers. You feel like part of the family. Mel and Manny work so hard to make the experience the best possible for everyone who visits. The food is always gorgeous and picture perfect, my menu faves are the açaí bowls (with granola, almond butter, strawberry, banana, and honey), the energizing refreshers, and green teas (lemon mandarin is unmatched)! I am not particularly a protein girly, but I always love sampling different things from throughout the menu, so it's worth giving the waffles, churros, and shakes a chance even if protein isn't necessarily your thing. Most importantly: SUPPORT LOCAL, SUPPORT SMALL! I love seeing my money go to hardworking, innovative, energetic, and passionate people. Watching the hustle of this team is so inspiring. If you are looking for a Sunday morning treat, weekday study spot, afternoon hangout space, or just some amazing vibes, you MUST check out GainezVille Hub!!!!

Love going here with my family! The acai bowls are the best I've found anywhere and are what I like best on the menu. We're also big fans of the waffles and coffee drinks, and I enjoyed the made-from-scratch energy drink I tried, too. Plus, the folks who run this business are so friendly, generous, and kind, and clearly put their heart and soul into what they do. Pay them a visit! You'll have a nice time!

GainzVille Hub is AMAZING! I stumbled upon their downtown location about a year ago when they first opened and like fine wine they’ve only gotten better with time. Visited again today with my daughter and it is such an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere with superb service. The owners truly make you feel so warm and welcomed! Now to the food — hands down the BEST protein waffle ever, açaí bowl is simply perfection, and their LIT tea is chefs kiss! 100% recommend!

Me and my girlfriend were looking for a breakfast spot to try when we came across this location on Google maps it was very highly rated and the pictures of the food looked extremely delicious so we came to check it out on a little date night and it was amazing. The service was impeccable. The servers were really nice and they even offered to take our picture when they saw us trying to take a selfie and the order was easy to place we ended up getting Belgian waffles with banana chocolate chip and syrup and the taste was amazing 10 out of 10. I would definitely return here and if you’re looking for a sweet breakfast spot to try, I would definitely check this place out!

This place is amazing!! The owners were super friendly, greeting everyone who came through the door. They answered our questions about Gainesville (we were in town visiting UF) and gave us a feel for the city and community. The food was extraordinary! I had the protein waffle and my daughter had a dragon fruit bowl. Both were healthy, filling, and delicious. My daughter ordered a fruit drink and I had an iced tea drink. Again, both excellent. I can only hope we are in Gainesville again so we can visit GainzVille Hub! Highly recommend!!

They had me with the name, you know a girl is all about her gainz 💪🏾. This cute little spot is located in downtown Gainesville. The menu is full of unbelievable protein options such as coffee, waffles, arai bowls, churros, and smoothies. They also have green tea, refreshers and energized refreshers. The waffle was delicious and took me out since it packed 30g of protein. I have never had an acai bowl with protein in it, 17 g at that. It was one of the best acai bowls I've had. For my topping I went with strawberry, kiwi, blackberries, chia seeds, coconut flakes, granola and honey. It was soooo good 😋. I also enjoyed a passion fruit refresher (tea, passion fruit and mango aloe). I highly recommend if you're in the Gainesville area. When I'm in town it's always on my to do list!
