Dolce Vita Bakery (Gainesville, Fl) is a locally owned bakery that serves breakfast and lunch. Everything is made fresh in-house.

After reading BurgerFi's website I was pumped to check out their new Gainesville, Florida location. The website promised burgers done right with fresh, never frozen hormone free meat.
