Amazing Haitian Food & Sweets

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 😍

Pros: Amazing food, Homemade sweets, Friendly service

Authentic Haitian Flavors Meet Vegan Cuisine at This Must-Try Restaurant

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

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.

Pros: All vegan , Kind owner, Original menu

Delicious and unique

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

Cozy place and Delicious dishes

Buku is inside the cutest little shop selling kombucha and local art from the area. Jenny and her staff are amazing. The food always has a great presentation and multiple dessert options. I recommend it everyone! I’m here at least once a week. 😛

Pros: Gluten Free menu, You can shop while you wait, Awesome owner

Cons: Can’t think of one!!!

Pros: Everything on the menu is delicious! , The owner is so sweet! , The shop is the cutest place ever!

Cons: There aren’t more of them everywhere , Not ideal for large groups (8+) to gather

100000/10

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.

Pros: All vegan menu

DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR

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

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.
My 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.😒

Pros: Entirely vegan, Really artsy, Great Mac and cheese

Cons: Expensive for what you get

Fresh unique flavors

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

Mac & cheeze

Some of the best Mac & cheeze I’ve ever had! Flavor was incredible and the restaurant is set in such a charming and cozy space. I can’t wait to return to try the rest of the menu.

Delicious! (place is easy to miss)

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.

Pros: Delicious food!, Gluten free options

Cons: No sign with the business name

Best Vegan Food

I have been to many vegan spots all over Orlando and Buku Vegan is BY far the best Vegan food I have had. The Chef brings SO many creative, unique and tasteful dishes to the table. She is friendly, professional and talented. I highly recommend you stop in and see her when you’re in the area because you wouldn’t want to miss out on her amazing foods!!

Pros: Vegan vegan vegan , Creative , Tasteful

Fantastic food

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.

Seems 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.

Pros: Great burrito, Amazing desserts
