2nd Street Bakery is a relatively new eatery in Gainesville. Not only do they offer baked goods, such as scones, muffins, a variety of breads, and pastries, they sell coffee, smoothies, sandwiches and salads. All of their ingredients are organic. One of the most interesting parts of the bakery is the beautifully remodeled interior. The exterior looks as if it was an old brick warehouse with an arching rounded roof. In contrast to the antiquated charm of the outside, the inside is pristinely modern with lots of bright, vibrant colors and geometric shapes with seating inside and out. It's definitely one of my favorite sunny Saturday afternoon destinations. The coffee is good - strong, but that's how I like it. One thing to certainly take advantage of is their gourmet sandwiches - particularly the tomato & mozzarella. The Jones

Continuing with a theme, the Jones is an even newer eatery in Gainesville. Locals might remember the location as 'Home on the Range', a small breakfast joint. The Jones takes the same local feel of its predecessor and extends it. They serve breakfast and lunch with an emphasis on quality ingredients and a bias towards the organic. There are several vegetarian options that even non-vegetarians would enjoy. Personally, I'm partial to breakfast foods, so that's what I've enjoyed there so far. The French toast was particularly scrumptious, as well as the spinach and garlic omelet (just make sure to bring gum for afterwards). An important note is that The Jones is a cash only establishment, but there is an ATM nearby.
