Amazing place constructed of Recycled materials. A great place to explore, your eyes are always finding something new! Pizza & calzone (our favorite) are delicious. They make their own soda & have lots of local beers on tap. Be sure to have a meal in the Scooby Doo bus! Great place for kids, they have outside toys so no chasing kids while you eat.

Vegan fare & great coffee. Awesome place to hanging out with friends, work on the computer, or let the kids roam in their “play” bus. Curia is a hipsters haven. Be sure to check out the Auk Market where you can find unique local handmade items.

To Do

Some of our favorite things to do in town
Affectionately known as “The Swamp.” Home to the Florida Gators football team. It is open to the public most days until 4pm. But check their website to make sure it’s not closed for game maintenance. It’s a great place to run stadiums or just take to take it in. It’s definitely a sight to see. The energy is so palatable!

Best park in town. Has shaded play places, splash pad, walking trails around water, Boxcar Convenience store, bar, & brick oven pizza food truck. Depot place is a great place to start the Hawthorne trail on your bike. It is also neighbors with a new kids arcade, The Cade Museum, & First Magnitude Brewery.
