    My husband and I are visiting here and wanted a trendy breakfast place that was on the healthier side and wouldn't break the bank- this is the one!! Very tasty, trendy, inexpensive, and on the healthier side of most breakfast places! We ordered the French toast combo (comes with 2 sides) and the waffle Specialty combo (comes with 2 sides) Service was great and very attentive. Very clean place and food comes out relatively fast!

    Absolutely delightful. Had the waffles "Florida" wonderfully scrumptious! Thank you Riley, you are fantastic! Worth the trip from Tennessee.

    Blueberry Pancakes

    Kekes is just the best. I love it here. My friend and I came here this morning and it was such great service and such great food. I love that there's basically every single breakfast option on the menu. I got scrambled eggs with cheese and a side, pancake and sausage. The perfect portion sizes for not too much of a price either. What a great way to start off my morning!

    We went Sunday after church and had to wait 20-30 mins as expected. The hostess began telling people that the wait for a table would be over 30 mins and then after ordering there would be about a 45 min wait for your food. Our service was decent and the restaurant is very clean. The pancakes were hard on the bottom. The bacon was decent. The eggs were not good at all. Difficult to cut and very dry and hard. The Caesar wrap was pretty good and the onion rings were probably the best thing we ordered. We think there are better breakfast/brunch options in Gainesville.

    Excellent potatoes
    VortexMama A.

    Yes a solid 3! On par with Dennys with prices and flavor. Potatoes next to the pancakes, crispy edges, done well. I would go again. Its upscale Dennys. Its not as favorful as FIRST WATCH, it was still $20 per person, so not cheap. Nicer vibe. Great date spot, we went 8am on weekend. Stop by, give it a try! Good service, attentive. Beat the lines and go early!

    Chicken & Waffles

    I'm not sure what all the hype was about this place. My family and I did not enjoy our food. It was packed on a Saturday and the service was fine. Lots of birthdays being celebrated so kitchen was a bit slow but understandable. I had the egg whites with turkey sausage and the eggs were so oily. The home fries my cousin and aunt had were not crispy. Cousin had the pumpkin spice stuffed waffles which didn't really taste like pumpkin. My sister did like her chicken and waffles but her fresh fruit cup had unripe strawberries.

    A silly goose created using the kids menu. Our Florida pancake and my beautiful girlfriend in the background.

    Great place, great food and great service . Everything felt fresh and well balanced. The pancake was not too sweet and the fruits, eggs and bacons were in the right spot. The place was super clean, the music was cool and the servants were super friendly. I recommend asking for the kids menu to color it is pretty fun.

    Scramble Bowl
    Hayli Z.

    I got the scramble bowl with spinach, tomato and mushroom and rye bread..I got it to go and it was a really big portion. It was pretty busy inside the restaurant so I'm glad I got it to go since I'm not sure how long the wait would be. It was a little spicy but other than that was really good and very filling.

    Western omelette
    Tim J.

    Checked out this place this weekend after workout. Luckily, we just missed the busy time and got seated immediately. The servers were very attentive and refilled our coffee almost every 5-10minutes. We got western omelette, egg's benedict, and florida waffle, which are big in portion. Tasted like classic American brunch. We enjoyed all the foods that came out. Recommend checking this place out when you crave classic american brunch :)

    western omelet.

    Overview: 5/5 First time to this place and I have to say I totally enjoyed it. Ambiance : 5/5 Nicely decorated with a modern upscale cafe / diner feel. Plenty of parking as this location. Inside booths are mostly 2 and 4 seaters. Food/Drink 5/5 I ordered a Greek omelet with fruit. It was delicious. My wife got the western omelet which was equally as good. Service : 5/5 Our waitress Caylea was pleasant, attentive and got our orders right the first time. It was quite busy and she was juggling a number of tables. Conclusion : We will be back! It's a bit out of our way but we will stop in here if we are in the neighborhood. Next time I would try a waffle or a stack of pancakes.

    Banana nut caramel stuffed french toast. Meh!
    Rose O.

    It hurts to give this cafe 3 stars because I could see how hard the staff was working to make our experience great! Sadly, other than coffee, nothing else we tried was good. Especially for the price! I tried banana nut caramel stuffed french toast, which I read good reviews about, but it's just a fancy name. Basically, it is a toast placed on a flat top (not a drop of custard absored), then filled with banana and cream cheese. I also tried three meat omlete, mediocore! Not much to say. We went for sunday brunch, and there was a line. Wait time was 25 minutes.

I needed a cheesecake for a friend's birthday and they were the cheapest option for those that still had availability. I ordered for pickup and when i got there around lunch time on a Friday, there were a few people inside. It was at that moment I realized there was a deli inside. While this place is like down the street from where I live, I had never actually been inside. Since it was busy, there was a tiny wait but nothing crazy. I told the woman what I needed and she quickly packaged up the cake. The taste was great! Now I will say I'm not used to Italian cheesecake, meaning I'm not used to there not being a crust but that's okay. I enjoyed it but more importantly the birthday girl was satisfied and that's all that matters. I do plan to go back to try other desserts and the deli .

    Was really excited to come do some writing here. The place was crowded, but there was an available…read moresmall table, so I sat down to write. The furniture is sturdy but not necessarily comfortable, but it was good to have a chair with a back due to all my back injuries. About fifteen minutes later, a barista came up to me and politely told me it was a "No Laptop Zone" and I had to move to either the bar seating or outside. That's my bad for not reading the sign taped to the table, but at this point there aren't any groups of friends coming in to have personal connections. But okayyyy so I move to the bar seating and it hurt my back to sit there. Since I have a glass, I decided to move to the outdoor table until I finished so I could go work somewhere else? The outdoor table is super sticky and also not comfortable (very flimsy metal patio/cafe sets. Not a lot of space for your belongings). Not only that, a toddler in the "no laptop" area is hitting a wooden car on the windows and tables and I'm not sure how I'm not allowed to sit there, but unruly toddlers are. Very glad to have those personal connections. Anyway, I've been here a few times and the coffee has always been good and I like to get the interesting flavors. I've never had food here, but as someone who grew up eating tacos constantly, my friend's breakfast taco that she got once looked standard but personally I can't speak on that, but I think if you're just looking for a coffee it's fine? But if you're looking for a cozy place to work, the furniture is super uncomfortable and just be wary of their no laptop tables. If I had known this would be my situation, I probably would have chosen one of the other coffee shops in Gainesville that has cozier seating and more free work areas.

Only thing that I wish was that it opened up earlier so that I could enjoy it before work; 8am coffee is a little late for us early risers but that being said still my favorite coffee place in all of Gainesville and appreciate the dedication to high standards of excellence.

    I loved curia!! I ordered a cappuccino with orange cardamom syrup and it was extremely satisfying!…read moreThe orange didn't really come through a whole lot but the cardamom was front and center (which I loved). My boyfriend got a cappuccino with strawberry syrup but we didn't really taste the strawberry in his. Regardless, it was delicious. We also got one of their biscotti which seemed like they made in house but I'm not sure. It was yummy, but definitely was not a very traditional recipe. It tasted more like a short bread than a biscotti but still very yummy. We walked out to the food truck to get some vegan bites and they definitely met expectations. The crabby patty was delicious with a great texture, and my boyfriends patty melt was also super good. We shared a mac and cheese and honestly I was full before we even got to that. The Mac and cheese was great but did taste a lot like coconut so if you're not into that then maybe veer away. The ambience was a mixed bag. The initial shop that you order the coffee in had a very cozy vibe with great decor. If you walk past the patio into the overflow seating the vibe changes a ton. The decor felt very uncanny valley, back rooms, like very odd. I think they need to work on that side of the property a little bit and make it more cozy. Maybe it's a work in progress or maybe they like it that way, I'm not sure, but it wasn't the sort of vibe that made me want to stick around. Overall great experience though! Will be coming back & hopefully I can get seating in the main shop ;)
