Maude's Cafe

Great study place with a variety of drinks and snacks.
They have numerous outlets, so it's great for group studying sessions. The cafe is within walking distance of some very cool places, like the Hippodrome. They take advantage of their location by having plenty of seating outside. The last time I was here, my friends and I ordered their chai lattes and cheese quesadillas. The service was fast and our order was delicious!

Great coffee and delicious food. We had the avocado toast and bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin. Both were awesome. Plenty of outdoor seating to sit with your dogs and enjoy downtown Gainesville

There is no way not to absolutely adore this quaint coffee shop. It's located in the Sun Center Easr adjacent to Gainesville's historic Hypodrome Theatre. It's across the street from Starbucks which is nationally known. But keep strolling past that famous place if you want better food, coffee and ambiance. Even the prices are better. I purchased coffee and multiple pastries last night so when I wake up early the next morning I'll be able to sit on my terrace overlooking Maude's and relax knowing I'm lucky to have shopped there. Great food, delightful wait staff and a cozy interior that will make you want to sit and relax.

Maude's Cafe serves up an absolutely delicious chocolate cheesecake. The rich chocolate flavor is balanced perfectly with the creamy cheesecake, making for an indulgent dessert that will leave you feeling satisfied without feeling overly full. The texture of the cheesecake is also spot on, with a creamy, velvety smoothness that melts in your mouth.

The Ice Chai Latte is another great offering at Maude's Cafe. The chai flavor is strong and authentic, and the iced version is perfect for a hot summer day. The latte is well-balanced and not too sweet, making it a refreshing and satisfying pick-me-up. Overall, Maude's Cafe is definitely worth a visit for the chocolate cheesecake and Ice Chai Latte alone.

This is a cute and cozy coffee shop. There are a variety of coffees here to choose from. If you visit Downtown Gainesville, you can surely give this coffee place a try. Outdoor seating is also available.

I came here so many times ever since I was a child, and this was always our favorite cafe in Gainesville. Situated on a quaint plaza in historic Gainesville, there isn’t a better place to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. Or perhaps one of their many board games! Or grabbing a drink at the Sidecar Bar next door. Treat yourself to a true Gainesville treat!

love the vibe here, the employees are friendly and they many selection for cakes which I love very much. The setting of the tables are also interesting, good place to stay for afternoons with large or small groups or just by yourself🙌🏽

I've gone to maude's for years and i've never had a bad experience. Sometimes my bf and i pick up breakfast or brunch, my favorite is usually whichever quiche they have. I also love the italian sodas, you can choose whichever syrups you want! It's super fun. They also have a shelf of board games and an area with posters, business cards, free condoms etc which is always great.

Amazing cashiers, incredibly calm atmosphere, hard to get into but Its 100% worth it, one of the best places in gainesville

What a great coffee cafe! If you are in downtown Gainesville and you want food crafted with quality and love- stop in at Maudes! The options were great and inclusive for those with dietary restrictions-vegan or vegetarian and the coffee was real. I’m here during Covid and I’m so happy they have a large patio where I could comfortably eat my meal and drink my coffee outside.

A local staple and favorite, this little coffee shop is somewhat of an open secret for really good and creative coffees and teas. I've spent many days and evenings in their patio area catching up with friends, doing work on my laptop, or just enjoying the day. They've got cozy indoor seating, a relaxing and shaded outdoor patio, good music, and even board games for you and your friends. A perfect little date spot, and/or for starting your downtown outing with friends. And being in the Sun Center, it remains a staple to hit on your way to Boca Fiesta, the Hippodrome, Palomino, Liquid Ginger, or the many other great spots that sit right around it. If you know, you know.

Loooved this little place! Super cozy and had an amazing experience. They made me a frozen hot chocolate with espresso and it was sooo tasty. My fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed our food as well. 10/10 would return!! Also, GET THE BLT WITH ROSEMARY BREAD. You won't regret it 💕

Very cozy coffee shop! It's on the expensive side, $7 for an iced coffee w/o syrup. But, the coffee is delicious and their Monin syrup selection is incredible. I didn't even know Monin sold a candy corn flavor??
Sausage egg and cheese was incredible and we loved sitting in the back of the building next to the funky alien DJ portrait on the wall.

This place is awesome. Was visiting gainseville and stopped here instead of Starbucks and it was the best decision. Bacon egg and cheese was amazing. So was the burrito. Coffee is also extremely fresh. Recommended!

Excellent atmosphere and food. I got a large sweet tea and lox bagel. I highly recommend Maude's for anyone looking for a really cool place

I go to Maude's Cafe every time I'm in Gainesville visiting my son. I love that place!

After visiting 9 local Gainesville coffee shops, I finally picked my favorite....MAUDES! I haven't had an espresso drink there I disliked thus far. In fact, I requested a pound of the espresso beans they use for Christmas gifts! The staff is friendly and accommodating, even when I take a year choosing my coffee of the day. 😆 Amber is always up for a quick convo, even within minutes of their closing. My son loves the Turkey BLT and the Signature Maudes milkshake. Amber makes a delicious gingerbread latte with a triple shot at 8pm!🥰🤣

Love the atmosphere. The barista gave good recommendations. Will definitely be going back.

Awesome breakfast sandwich. Green tea by the pot was a bargain. One of the only fully shaded patios downtown. Also great that they chase the loiterers beggers off the property as well.

Great food, locally brewed coffee, and baked goods all rolled into one with caring staff to top it off. The atmosphere of a local coffee shop is unbeatable here
