Avocado toast
Jeff G.

Cute place and packed on a Saturday morning at 10 AM. We walked in and got on the list, waited about 25 minutes. A long line shortly ensued. How long did they wait? The parking lot looked ample but was full, we were able to park across the street. Coffees were good, standard fare and options for a coffee shop. They have a nice array of pastries. Service was fine, it took a good amount of time to get our order but it was worth the wait. I got avocado toast which was amazing. The avocado (mostly mashed) sat on top of wafer thin slices of cucumber, radish and onions. On top were 2 eggs and micro greens. All of this on a thick slice of sourdough. Excellent. The girls shared a turkey club , it was huge, they really really liked it, a lot! This accompanied by a side of potatoes, also yummy. Good spot for sure.

I ordered the club and whipped feta with seasonal toppings. Club was good and comes with a garlic aloli. Even with the sauce it fell short. We tried to order a cinnamon bun but were told they were out of all their pastries due to other patrons who arrived earlier than us. We got there at 2pm. Would I go back, no.

This place is so fire every single time! It's collective aesthetic is top tier and every time I eat here I feel like I'm the main character in some indie film. The food itself is delicious and I love how fresh the ingredients are. The menu offers the perfect variety without including too many options. I like that they have seasonal items as well to keep things interesting. Next time I'm in Gainesville, I will be back! The service was so great, and the walkability to local stores was very stimulating. I was able to visit a plant store, a record store, and the best thrift store I've been to in Gainesville.

On my Gainesville matcha tour, my latest stop at afternoon has me running back for their seasonal rosemary mint Matcha latte. Afternoon also makes it so easy with their pick up window to save time from going inside to order, but you still get the friendly service at the window. In comparison to their typical syrups, this one really stands out. From the freshness of the mint and the earthy rosemary, this is such a great profile flavor to compliment an iced Matcha latte. The drink is presented so beautifully with a pretty green color mix mixed in with fresh mint leaves and rosemary. Highly recommended to try this syrup out as it is only around for a limited time.

Tried a local Gainesville brunch and lunch spot today and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delightful, the service was warm and attentive, and as a solo diner I was seated right away. Perfect little spot for a relaxing brunch date with yourself. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

Cappuccino
Mayra B.

Love coming here and every visit is such a treat. I got the chicken salad and burrito and split the potatoes with my bf. I also had a salted caramel iced latte with whole milk. Everything was delicious. The crispy potatoes are always a must for me. I love that they have seasonal offerings and they are always changing up the menu depending on what's in season. Service was good but server seemed to be annoyed at us because we were taking awhile to order and looked bothered . Other than that you can tell everything is made in house. I loved the chicken salad and I'm by no means a lover of them but this one changed my mind. Loved the pickles inside and the rye bread took me by surprise in a good way. Their potato chips that come with it are addicting and sliced thinly, it's amazing Joe they make their own instead of resorting to bagged. I love the way they make their eggs fluffy and everything is just simple but elegant. This is one of those must visit brunch places in Gainesville.

Biscuits and Gravy
Allie S.

Went here 2 different times, both with similar experiences. We came on the weekend and were seated fairly quickly. Unfortunately, the food took over an hour both times to arrive, and the menu was out of the few items we really wanted to try. While the vibe is very cute and has a great atmosphere, the quality of food itself is subpar at best. For those who enjoy quality matcha, this is not the place. It was very milky and not strong. I got a Salmon Toast, and the bread was so rough, it hurt my jaw. The prices are also extremely steep for the portion of food you receive. If you do come here, I would say it is more for the vibes and photos than the food itself. However, sometimes the presentation will differ depending on the day (e.g. glass cups, plastic plates, etc). My favorite thing would definitely be the coffee, which is very tasty and worth the cost. Overall, I would only come if you have time to spare, as they are often backed up and really busy.

Afternoon Hash w/ sausage & scrambled eggs and side Johnny Cakes
Jordan C.

Finally, finally, FINALLY got the opportunity to try Afternoon. After hearing so many wonderful things about Afternoon, seeing pictures/posts on social media, etc. I made my way over to see what all the hype was about. Afternoon is a quaint brunch eatery serving up some unique, fresh dishes. They pride themselves on using high quality, local ingredients, as well as making very good coffee and pastries. It does get busy and you will most likely have to put your name down to wait for a table. With that being said, I would recommend arriving early to get your name on a waitlist, especially on the weekends. My friends and I arrived around 11:30 on a Saturday and had to wait roughly 30 minutes for a table for three. While we waited, we checked out a local plant shop called Serpentine that was near by to kill the time. When we got a text our table was ready, we promptly made our way over and seated right away. The inside is cute and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Our server was very sweet, but she did rush us to order a little, no big deal though. It was hard choosing just one thing to order and did take us a little while to make our decisions. Their menu does seasonally change, as do the pastries they offer. They do have specials and offer Dutch babies on the weekends, as well as cinnamon rolls. One thing I was disappointed by was the wait time for our food. It took probably between 30-40min for our food to come out after we ordered it. This was slightly frustrating. I do understand that they make everything from scratch and it is all prepared fresh to order, but this wait seemed a little long. It appeared that all the tables around us had to endure this wait as well. I ended up starting with a pastry, our server recommended the guava and cheese turnover. There was only one left, so she snagged it super quickly for me, which I appreciated. This was PHENOMENAL. Super flaky and buttery with a sweet guava filling that paired perfectly with cheese. A wonderful pastry, seriously couldn't praise this turnover enough and would highly recommend. Then we ordered our mains, I went with the Afternoon Hash with a side of Johnny Cakes. The hash includes their crispy potatoes, sautéed veggies, brown butter hollandaise, 2 eggs (your style), and choice of sausage or bacon. I went with scrambled eggs and sausage for my protein. As stated above, the food took a while to arrive, but when it did, oh boy was I excited to dive right in. My hash was fabulous. The potatoes were excellent and I can see why so many people like them. So crispy, with the perfect amount of seasonings. The sausage had a great savory, fennel taste to it and wasn't dry at all. The eggs were scrambled just right and the hollandaise tied the whole dish together. There weren't many sautéed veggies, but nonetheless the dish was a hit. The Johnny cakes were like cornmeal pancakes. They were a more savory than your traditional pancake, but were delicious with the maple syrup. My friends all enjoyed their dishes as well and agreed that we must return! We wanted to try a dutch baby, but weren't interested in the current flavor they were offering, maybe next time. Overall, Afternoon is a great brunch establishment in Gainesville serving brunch like no other. They had a great menu and there is surely something for everyone. Everything we ordered was great with the best flavors. Their pastries are a must and compliment the meal so well. My hash was one of the best breakfast hashes I've had in a while and I cannot say enough good things about those potatoes! My only reason for knocking a star was due to the really long wait for our food. The service is decent, but could be more attentive. The interior is cute and there is a nice ambiance. Cannot wait to return and explore more of their menu, and try their coffee too!

French omelette
Mona B.

Overall: Pleasant new surprises with service. Food has remained the same, which is good. The rearrangement with seating has made the experience of going to Afternoon more pleasant. Service: The biggest change that I love! You no longer order at the cashier and try to find a place to sit. They will seat you now! Plus, they come to you for your order. Amazing! Food: As my previous experiences, the food is the same maybe slightly better? Not sure about that because I used to feel it was hit or miss and never consistently but I'll need to go back a few more times to really see consistent change. This time I tried the French omelette, which is a omelette given with sour cream! It was interesting. The omelette was cooked really well (as in not under or over cooked). I also ordered potatoes on the side, which could've been crispier. Ambience: I believe the rearranged searing to accommodate more ppl inside so it was nice!

Crispy potatoes with two eggs over easy
Kara G.

What is it about the crispiest potatoes ever combined with savory roasted garlic and tiny little slices of lime... How did they peel the lime slices like this? How did they get these soft centered potatoes so crispy? And who doesn't love a ton of roasted garlic? This dish is just one of the mini epic dishes at this cute breakfast brunch spot. My only complaint is their cappuccino is not for cappuccino lovers.. still trying to figure out best coffee option so next time I'll try a flat white instead. Service is always stellar.

Afternoon Hash
Alyana S.

It was my first time visiting Afternoon and it's a great spot for brunch and lunch. It was a longer wait to sit inside than outside but they had plenty of fans to keep you cool outside. I got the salted caramel latte and I thought that was good. I got the afternoon hash and it was delicious! I definitely stopping here for brunch.

Turkey club with homemade chips
David J.

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.

Classic breakfast
Roy H.

Came to this place after a UF graduation. Compared to other restaurants in the area it seemed pretty chill and nice. They don't take larger reservations, it was 8 of us. The servers were fairly nice and were able to seat us outside due to our part size. The food was really good and the space was cute. Would recommend for a simple afternoon lunch.

Needless to say this the Metro diner truly surpassed my expectations. We walked in and were greeted immediately and asked if we would like to sit outside which is a covered area or indoors. We chose inside given it being a hot humid day and wanting that extra comfort. The vibe felt amazing with all the smiles and yes even though busy all the wait staff was hopping doing their business! We were seated and told about the specials and given the menu. I was unsure what I wanted because I think I could have eaten a little bit of everything! I did ask the waitress a couple of suggestions and one of them was the pancakes I had chosen. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day! How cool is that and rare. They had a chicken and waffle special that was actually half a chicken ( pieces ) fried with Belgium waffles, powdered sugar and sweet strawberry butter served with their signature sweet and spicy sauce. I'll be honest when I had seen someone else get their plate I was surprised. It looked absolutely incredible and well tremendous. On their specials they had banana pudding pancakes or waffles, this also sounded amazing. It had walnuts, butter and powdered sugar and definitely banana. I am most certainly glad that I chose this as it was incredibly. Super fluffy, flavorful and the banana was not overwhelming there was a perfect balance of flavors. There was a sauce on them that I assume was the banana pudding. It was light and just enough to not overpower the pancake itself. We had also ordered croissant French toast and my son absolutely loved them. They were crispy on the outside yet fluffy and flavorful with a fantastic texture topped with some powdered sugar. Some ordered hash browns, these were also delicious and homemade with a great texture and the portion like all the other dishes pretty large. We had all tried the biscuits and gravy. These too were delicious with such a nice balance of flavors. The biscuits indeed homemade. We were all very pleased with everything. Some eggs over easy and bacon cooked perfectly. The coffee honestly the best I've had in years. I'm a coffee drinker and I cannot figure this coffee was outstanding! I had four cups and wish for more ha ha. Best of all I must compliment the service. I have not been to a restaurant of any sort with such attentive service, quality service as we received here in years. The waitress kept refilling my coffee and water, brought my son more soda ( even a container to take his home ) asked everyone if they needed anything at appropriate times and was extremely kind and considerate. I will be back and I highly recommend the Metro Diner for a great meal, quality service and relaxed environment that you will enjoy.

Order at the counter, get a number and then they will bring food out to you. Self serve water is available inside. We were there a busy day. Wait to order wasn't too bad and we found a table outside, but nobody was bussing any tables so basically customers sitting down were left clearing the dishes from the table of the people before them & wiping down the table. Nobody from the restaurant came out to help or apologize and it wasn't until dishes were almost toppling out of the bin that anyone took them away. Menu is pretty diverse - you can get some traditional items or more eclectic. We ordered the green goddess salad, croque mademoiselle (ham & cheese sandwich) on gluten free bread & okonomiyaki (japanese pancakes with cloud eggs). It took probably 30 min to get our food. The food presentation is really lovely & feels special when it's delivered. However, taste left something to be desired. The Japanese pancakes weren't good. The egg specifically looked really pretty all puffed up, but was so bad none of us were willing to have more than one bite. There were some other funky flavors going on there as well that detracted from enjoying it. The ham & cheese sandwich was okay, but the cheese is put on the outside, including a runny cheese, so it's a total mess to try and eat. Definitely do not order this one on a date! We ended up just eating the inside portion. It does come with a small green goddess type salad, which is nice. The entree green goddess appeared great when delivered. Loved the light, fresh dressing and ingredients. However, lots of the lettuce had sort of rotting tips, which made me worried to eat it especially since this isn't the cleanest place. Despite appreciating the quirkiness of the restaurant and the selection of fresh options they offer, we won't be returning.

I went to the Luke's Bagels location under the Standard this past week and was disappointed. I hadn't been here in a little bit, especially since Bagels & Co. just opened down the street. But I was craving a Luke's Bagels, so I got there around 8:30, when they opened ready to order. Unfortunately, no one was at the counter when I came in. Someone popped out from the back to take my order a little while's later though. Their bagel selection was extremely limited, more so than usual. They didn't have poppy seed or sesame seed bagels. This was surprising, as I thought this location was sent fresh bagels each morning, I guess not. Luckily, I was able to order a bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted Asiago, along with a toasted plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese. This took roughly 15 minutes to come out, which was longer than I expected. Upon delving into my bagels, I noticed a couple things that were different from my previous visits last semester. The bagels were definitely smaller, had less cream cheese, and didn't taste as fresh. The BEC had ample amounts of American cheese and the eggs were good, but there was barely any bacon! There was MAYBE two meager pieces on the bagel, I didn't even get bacon in most of my bites. The Asiago bagel still had a decent taste, with a nice sharp Asiago. But it just wasn't very fresh tasting like they've been in the past. The texture wasn't awful, but it wasn't what it used to be. The plain bagel with cream cheese was lackluster. The plain bagel was just fine, as it too was not very fresh. The strawberry cream cheese was decent and not too sweet, which I appreciate. I also like that their cream cheeses have more of whipped texture to them. But there certainly wasn't as much cream cheese on this bagel as I've received in the past! Overall, I was not very pleased with my experience here. The bagels were not fresh at all, the sandwich was lacking bacon, and I just thought the quality appeared be lower. Maybe I came on an off day, but the bagels were not fresh and the assortment they had available was very limited. The texture of the bagels still has a softer center, with a chewy outside , but the outside was too chewy and hard. The size and portions were decreased as well. The BEC had too much cheap, American cheese, and lacked bacon. The plain bagel with cream cheese didn't have much smear on it. For being about $19 for two bagels, not worth it. This makes me sad as I used to love Luke's, but this was not a good visit. I hope next time I come here it is better!
