Nice place! Looks like it caters to the indie crowd. Came for lunch. Ordered a BLT with sausage added, and a beer. Total came to just under $20. Portions were average. But the flavor and freshness was excellent. I'd like to see what this turned into on Friday evening. Staff friendliness leaves a little to be desired.

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

Not for coffee lovers!!Really cute place with plenty of indoor seating and outdoor patio seatings available. Plus with plenty charging spots for indoor seating!!The coffee I got was…sugar syrup…we ordered two vanilla lattes and one had twice as much sugar as other…clearly lack of consistency on part of the Baristas. I think—if you are lookikg for a place specific for coffee like we were (there are better options within Gainesville such as Pascal’s or Cympplify)—but as a package if you are also looking for food options, this has a great selection. Overall, good vibes and atmosphere, not so good coffee. Will come again to try their breakfast menu when Im hungry!!

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!

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.

The salad was tasty but small. The mini portion of soup was small and tasteless. The sandwich was tasty but again small. Portions were for 10-year-old girls not adultsVegetarian options: Options are available

Delicious chocolate chip cookie. Very good, fresh, hot breakfast sandwich with creamy eggs and cheese. Dark roast coffee is sour, and very fruity, it doesn't have the notes of chocolate or sweetness of a Starbucks dark roast. Staff is courteous and prompt. Location has a relaxed, very casual atmosphere. Outdoor seating is very good for morning or weekend visits. It's centrally located, which is convenient.
It was my first time at Maude's and it is a nice coffee cafe. Outdoor seating when you can bring your dog if you'd like. Indoor booths and tables. I ordered a BLT on a Croissant and a bottled juice. Price was a bit steep for the two ($12) so be aware that I'm assuming, is ambience and convenience. Sandwich was fresh and tasty, but still think it was way overpriced. Other drinks, coffee and such seem pretty typical for prices. They offer interesting names for the food and desserts, which is cute. I was planning on getting a dessert but ran out of time. Harry Belafonte looked good and so did a few others. Check out the menu beforehand. It was not real busy when I was there (Saturday 1-2:30) which was nice. Didn't grab pics, but I will next time. Enjoy!

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.

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 ?

Went here before I knew how horrible/creepy the owner was. It's overpriced, but even if it was dirt cheap, it's not worth giving business to a guy who creeps on girls.

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.
Classic Gainesville coffee shop should be
