Amazing Haitian Food & Sweets - Edit
I haven’t had much Haitian food but wow the Jerk Mac & Cheese was amazing. Light but flavorful. They popped up in Gainesville and wish I could’ve tried more! Also their sweets are amazing. Recommended the Turtle Brownie and that was a 10/10. The chef even makes the caramel?!?! If you find yourself at one of their pop ups, RUN to try their food 😍

Authentic Haitian Flavors Meet Vegan Cuisine at This Must-Try Restaurant - Edit
I was so impressed with the Haitian Vegan Restaurant at Vegan Block Party! The food was absolutely delicious, and the flavors were so authentic. I started with the djon djon, mac and cheese, which was creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. The griot was also amazing, made with jackfruit that was so tender and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious vegan food.

Made with love - Edit
When Buku vegan popped up by my job I was happy because I could get the very best peanut butter cookie cake slices within 2 minutes but also concerned because I could get the very best peanut butter cookie slices within 2 minutes. I rarely tell myself no and I have no regrets. The owner of Buku is so sweet and really pours her heart into her food. Every single thing on the menu is full of flavor and artfully designed. No ingredient is an afterthought. We are so lucky to have her in central Florida.

Delicious and unique - Edit
The jackfruit sliders were sooo good. I don't normally like jackfruit because of the texture but this was spot on!

If I could give a hunnid stars I would !! Chef Jenny puts your whole fooooooot into her dishes and they are seriously made with so much love, flavor and just overall deliciousness. Love everything on the menu but top items are the jackfruit (OMFG), djon djon, piklis, s’mores cookie pie (SHEESH), beet potato salad and the Mac & cheeese.

DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR - Edit
The favor is, to get you tush up, drive to this wonderful restaurant address, and make your insides SATISFIED! Today I did this favor for my self! ITS CALLED! (SELF CARE!!))) this food was absolutely delish; and worth the 30min drive I took! The bean burger was a fresh air, it was succulent, with a nice crunch. The banana foster cheesecake was a total tastebud orgasm 🤤, and the pork jackfruit with the picklies was the right spice to get this back up mucous moving? Do this for your health!!! Support this necessity of a small business and asset to our vegan community!!

Beautiful shop, Great Mac&Cheese - Edit
Really easy to find, such a beautiful unique shop, so much nature and fun shopping. I ordered the mac and cheese because of all of the good reviews I saw, and I do think it lived up to the hype-it was very good! I also got the s’mores cookie slice and it was also very good.
Read moreMy only disappointment was they only had one size for the Mac and cheese to go, and they barely filled my container even to halfway for over $5. I don’t know if that’s standard or not but I felt gypped.😒

Buku Vegan has been known for her sweets but now she is showing off her skills in the kitchen. The flavors she puts together pay homage to her Haitian roots while creating something unique and tasty

Delicious! (place is easy to miss) - Edit
They have a different meal option per day. I went on a day when they had tacos and they were delicious! The place is easy to miss because there is no sign with the name. It's inside a shared space with 2 other businesses, with a cute atmosphere.

Fantastic food - Edit
Drove 40 minutes to give this place a try and it was well worth it. The breakfast burrito was so delicious and very filling. I tried the smores cookie cake as well and it was amazing.
Read moreSeems they offer a specific menu item for each day of the week. I'd usually say check to see what they're serving but I doubt it matters, I'm sure everything is great. Just go lol.
10/10 will come back.
