I agree with Lili Z. Maude's gets talked up a whole lot in Gainesville and I'm not really quite sure why. I ordered my usual, a chai latte with honey. It was okay but I would have rather gone to...

Great location and decent coffee. Not impressed by the dry lemon cake with canned raspberry pie filling dumped over it.

Maudes is a great break from the corporate atmosphere that entrenches Gainesville. It is fresh and homemade, it has character and it is a great place to get work done. The people there are friendly...

It's an alright place. It's only popular because the hippies make it so. Their desserts are good, and the atmosphere can be nice when it's not full of freaks wearing skinny jeans and judging your...

If there's anything I miss about Gainesville (besides the springs) it's Maude's. True, the coffee could be better. True, the indoor lighting could be better. But really, who cares about those things...

I used to throw fits about the "pretentious" "hipsters" or whatever here, too, but then I grew up a little. Bottom line is it's pretty decent for killing some time in a boring, boring town.

What to say about Maude's cafe? To be honest, the best thing about Maude's is the location: on a clear evening, you have the splendor of a sunset-suffused sky (too bad the actual setting of the sun is...
