Hills Cafe — Restaurant in Gainesville

Finally a boba place that i dont have to drive 30 mins to 😩. Cute place, diverse drink menu. Havent tried the desserts yet, but soon though. Wait time was a long while ( 1 hr max) , but understandable on the first day and amount of staff. When the drinks came i say it was worth the wait! 10/10 texture, taste, sweetness was just right and the boba was just right. Drink ordered: Dragonfruit lychee boba smoothie, a real cute pink colored drink that i will get again when i visit! 🪿👍Also got the mango passion fruit, but im biased on that drink so still 10/10.

Edit: 4* for wait time, but will update in future visits.

3-22-2024 EDIT: If i could give more than 5* i would 🤩 Tried out the online ordering this time and they had my order ready super fast! Got custom drinks today and dare I say its even BETTER the second time! Also got a hold of some desserts, both the yuzu cheesecake and ube brownie are absolutely delicious! Was a bit skeptical about the brownie as ive never had ube before but WOW! Might be an item I'll come back to again...

Places like this is the reason why SB does well. My coffee was excellent, I asked for a cookie that couldn’t be warmed up because there is no oven, the atmosphere feels like it is a kindergarten, no outlets for a professional to plug in and work, but coloring paper and crayons everywhere, maybe I was just not their target audience. I think the whole location is underused, fridge was empty, lots of empty space. Let me reiterate the coffee was excellent, but everything...

Super chill place with great product. Truly a hidden gem. They have board games and table sized paper to draw on. Their boba is great and even looked/tasted fresher than other boba places. They have a soft, chewy big chocolate chip cookie thing which is amazing. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun, chill place to hangout with friends in downtown Gainesville. I would not be surprised if the cafe becomes a staple...
