afternoon

While enjoying a little "get away" from home, we chose to have a very late breakfast/early lunch at Afternoon just north of the City Center. The reviews were mixed, but we gave it a shot because it claimed to be pet-friendly (we have a service dog) and prefer to support those with similar values. We were promptly seated and our drink order was taken by our server, Mya. Not sure what the building was originally, but the interior was bright, clean and open. My wife got the Classic Breakfast and I got the Turkey Club. Everything was super fresh - the turkey, the bacon, lettuce - all very fresh. The eggs, bacon and toast were all perfectly flavored as you would expect them to be.Absolutely wonderful meal and delicious food.

Love this place! Super fresh ingredients always. Casual, cute vibe. We had the guava cream cheese pastry (so flaky and delicious), a yogurt starter, shakshuka, and a lyonnaise salad. The salad was full of fresh herbs and the bacon jam took it over the top. Service was attentive and friendly. Great breakfast spot.We went on a Friday right at open with no wait, but be aware if you try to come on a weekend there will be a crowd!

This place is so darn tasty! Simple yet good! This particular visit I said outside with a friend and it was so nice! Now they have waitstaff so long are the days where we are getting up and ordering in line ourselves! OMG game changer! Love it what a great addition to the restaurant. Outdoor eating is usually not my thing but on this day it was perfect! No bugs or flies and the weather was not too hot either. I got an iced matcha with half an avocado toast and scrambled eggs. I got half because I thought half meant one slice but it actually means half of slice smh ‍ did not know that but that's what happens when you assume so don't be like me and ask! Waitstaff was attentive and quick and food was delicious despite my half piece of avocado toast. I'm already ready anticipating my next time!

Bring your sunblocks -- Those very strong kinds of sunblock with SPF 70, 80, or 100+ and be ready to park yourself for a while because the waiting line canbe long especially on two Sundays we have gone there:) Once you make it to the entrance, you will be given a menu to look over and then wait in line again inside to order:) Once you placed your order after the wait, you have finally made it to the promised land!!!Pick a table and slump down on the comfy chair and feast your eyes with all the wonderful foods other people are eating or cruise around the tables of other people confirming that you have made the right choice about your food!! Everything there is so tasty so there is really no bad choices here! Just close your eyes and point at the menu and you will get something you will enjoy eating;) Yes, it is that good!!!My hubby made a joke while we were waiting in line putting the sunblock on that the restaurant is called The Afternoon because you get there in the morning and get in in the afternoon:) Yes, he is a funny man:))

Ordered Shashuka... couldn't even eat more than a mouthful. Terrible taste- too much cumin n onions. I felt like I was eating curry. Very disappointed. Food pictures look better than what came n tasted. My partner had their sausage n eggs for breakfast n only mediocre. Nothing to shout about. First n last visit

AWESOME! Service was genuine, cheerful, and helpful. Housemade bacon excellent, Lyonnaise salad really special, and omg they nailed the French omelette! I wish I lived nearby. This place would be a regular stop!

This is a hidden gem in Gainesville. One of my favorite brunch spots. They always have fun drinks, and the Dutch baby and potatoes are some of the best in Gainesville. Great atmosphere, and always crowded so make sure you get there early!

Tasty food served with a smile, in a pleasant setting to boot - but way too expensive for what you get. I am vegan and as their non- meat options are pretty limited I ordered the daily special (tacos) and asked for potatoes instead of meat, they charged me an extra buck for a "special order" even though they offered this substitution. I also ordered a latte and they asked if I wanted simple syrup. I said yes and they charged me an extra $1.75. Unless you like paying $8 for espresso with warm milk, look elsewhere.

5 for food. 1 for confusion. The food is great, the service is great, the people are nice. But the wait is always 30-45 min and there are always 10 empty massive benches in the back. It truly baffles me and I'm not sure I can keep coming back. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen.

service was terrible and food was overpriced. gratuity was automatically 20%. If you want good coffee go somewhere else
