Prices change depending on who is serving you. I don’t have an issue with paying, but I absolutely have an issue with paying $2.58 for a canned soda when I actually seen them charge someone else a little over a dollar for the same exact thing.

I've been here a couple of times.. honestly, the atmosphere is rather unwelcoming or neutral. It seems like a popular student hangout, but I haven't been a student for some time so I don't really find the atmosphere appealing. I think the seating is rather cozy although somewhat noticeably limited when ordering food, there are these implicit rules of when they're serving. What dishes? And you wouldn't really know that unless you were a frequent customer. I ordered a smoothie here once on a hot summer day and it turned out pretty well. For the parking hassle combined with unfriendly staff interactions, combined with hyperactive student chatter, it's just not interested in visiting regularly if at all.

It’s okay I guess. The inside can be a good spot to study and the outdoor seating is cute. But the coffee and hot chocolate were mid. Hot chocolate was $7 and tasted like milk and a tiny dash of Swiss Miss powder.

Maude's is my wife's favorite sit-down place for coffee in Gainesville. She loves the European vibe (they have nice outdoor seating and also serve in ceramic cups) and the fact that they serve a dark roast espresso (not really the norm in the US). The service here has improved over the years. It's right next to the Hippodrome. Atmospheric outdoor seating.

This is such a great place to study! The coffee is great and the food is pretty good too. It is a bit pricey, but for the ambience and location I think it is worth it.

My favorite cafe in Gainesville during the winter months. Unfortunately, at all other times of the year the owner's decision to minimize A/C costs at the expense of customer comfort immediately disqualifies Maude's from eligibility as a place I would in any way want to patronize or sit at for any longer than 5 minutes. Please...I beg....just turn the thermometer down a hair...sacrifice an extra 20 dollars to the monthly electricity bill...please...I'm begging...so I can sit and read and sip my coffee in comfort...please.

Great drinks, and came out fast! We ordered sandwiches that were each pretty expensive, waited around 30 minutes for them—but when we received them, we noticed that each of them were pretty flat and didn’t have much food in them at all. I ordered a BLT with a very flat single tomato, and about 2 pieces of bacon for about $12. Just wish they added some more actual food in the food we ordered.
Good place otherwise, but please consider making the sandwiches more worth the money. Thanks!

It was a really good cafe, I got the sweet tea and the plain bagel with cream cheese. One of the best cafes I've been to. The tea had a really nice herbal taste to it and the plain bagel is also really good.

Terrible hot chocolate. Not rich at all. Generic and watered down. Extremely disappointed. I’ll give them another try but for something else other than hot cocoa. Yuckies. ALSO almost $7…..
