Maude's Cafe

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.

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.

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.

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

Eh, I like the atmosphere and the food is decent but attentiveness not so much.

I came in for a pickup order and there were two clerks working. Neither of them said a word to me. I figured the food wasn't ready yet so I stuck around for about ten minutes. Finally, one of them asked if I needed something. I said I was there for a pickup. It turns out the food was ready the whole time.

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.

The food portions are worth the money. However, the service could’ve been friendlier. Maybe they should direct those who look lost or are first time customers. One employee was a bit aggressive in their approach but the food was good.

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.

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.

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 💕
