I hit up Mochi for some soft serve after lunch with Ryan in Orlando this afternoon, and then hit it up again in Gainesville after dinner with my mom and sister. Both times were equally delicious, though I was hoping the red velvet cake soft serve flavor would be available. Maybe tomorrow??? 😉
My mom picked me up in Orlando after work and we hit the road for the University of Florida to kick off a weekend of girly fun!
By the time we arrived in Gainesville, we were hungry! After swinging by my sister’s sorority house and scooping her up, we headed out to dinner at The Top, an eclectic restaurant in downtown Gainesville.
All three of us opted for the portobello mushroom burger served on a pretzel roll.
My mom and I thought the burger was really tasty, but my sister wasn’t so sure.
I loved the pretzel bun, though the bottom of the roll was a bit soggy. Our dinner was decent, but our trip to Mochi for frozen yogurt definitely topped The Top.
Tomorrow should be a fun and very full day. My sister’s sorority is hosting a Parisian brunch at 11 a.m. and a pottery painting party in the afternoon. I love being crafty, so I can’t wait!

Awww I loved the Top when I was at UF!! They have the best corn fritters- and I definitely preferred the pasta to the burgers 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Oh my goodness- so funny that you mention Red Velet flavored frozen yogurt- did you know that they opened a new place in Waterford- similar to Mochi- with all of the flavors & toppings- I went there yesterday & ALMOST got the Red Velet flavor (the sample was delicious!!!) but I went with the Cake Batter flavor – really good too! & they have a REALLY good peanut butter flavor- that tastes like peanut butter- not like articifial stuff 🙂 It’s called Simply Frozen Yogurt.(I think) If you are in the area you should try it 🙂

Julie, the Top was our absolute favorite place in Gainesville! Ken claims that the spicy Thai peanut dish is the best thing ever. And we just discovered red velvet soft serve yogurt too at the Mochi downtown. Heaven….
