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.

Excellent coffee. The “Dolly Parton” tiramisu is to DIE for….Guinness & espresso are so good together!

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.

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.

I drove 45 minutes from Ocala and was not disappointed. This place was recommended to me by a coworker. I loved the atmosphere! I came alone to do some work but would love to have been with friends and played a board game! I ordered the Maude's iced coffee and I went into the backroom, which was a bit quieter. They have free wifi and every table has an outlet! I was super productive, and I credit that to this cafe. For lunch, i ordered the "fancy quesadilla" and a red velevet cupcake and stepped outside to enjoy the nice seating area. Yummy. If I find myself in Gainsville again, I will stop back by.

This place is located in downtown Gainesville, in the Main Street area. It has great, peaceful atmosphere. The service was friendly and diligent. The food was amazing. I had the Tofu Sam with a smoothie and both items were very flavorful and fulfilling. It's a nice place for either a short cafe stop or a pleasant, quiet lunch. Loved it. The building where the Cafe is has on-site parking, but it is somewhat busy. You should be able to find parking each time, though.

This is a great little coffee shop with a few delicious menu items. They have gluten free and vegan options that are actually tasty! Friendly employees and a calm atmosphere. Quiet enough to read in but not oppressive for those who want to converse.

My daughter is going to study in Gainesville, and while we were exploring the city, we stopped there and had a perfect experience. The café was wonderful, the quesadilla was freshly made with fresh ingredients, and the lime square was absolutely delicious! This stop was definitely worth it, and we’ll definitely be back!
