    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.

    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.

    We waited almost 20 minutes and no service. Only two servers were working and seemed very unorganized.

    I have wanted to eat here for awhile after seeing all the excellent reviews so my husband and I…read morevisited this Saturday around 11am for brunch. We went during THE busiest time so we were lucky to find parking in the cramped but free parking lot. The hostess let us know there was a 35 min wait for indoor seating for 2. Outdoor seating was available, but we decided against it since it was a hot n sunny day in the 90s. We were ok with the wait and gave the hostess my name and phone number to get a text when the table was ready. While we waited, we walked to Serpentine plant shop across the parking lot and shopped a little. The text that our table was ready arrived 34 minutes so it was timed perfectly with the end of my shopping... we were seated soon after walking back into the restaurant. We had a corner table near the drink prep/coffee station so we had a front row seat to the preparing of many different teas and coffees while we decided what to order. A note about the table / seat size, we are skinny people and the seating fit us well but anyone somewhat wider would have trouble being comfortable. The high top tables might be a better option for those guests. The entire restaurant was packed when we came in and remained pretty full for our visit. There are 2 single-occupancy restrooms to the far left of the main entrance. They were clean enough and stocked appropriately. We were served by Jane and she answered all our menu questions. We ordered a cold matcha latte, chai latte, Mexican Coke, crispy potatoes, afternoon hash extra egg, 1/2 mushroom toast, and a turkey club no lettuce no bacon plus desserts (to go) chocolate chip cookie, puff pastry, and cinnamon roll. Jane brought out our to go desserts soon after the order. Our drinks arrived minutes after. However, our food took a bit longer (which we expected with a 100% full restaurant and Jane apologized for the wait, letting us know our food was on it's way about 20 minutes in) around 30 minutes. While we were waiting, there was punk rock / alt music in the background and a bunch of people's conversations going on so don't expect to have quiet dining if you go during a Saturday busy brunch. The Turkey Club was on thick Texas toast with dill in the mayo and tasted clean, fresh, like a delightful treat that grandma would make on a hot summer day. My husband's hash and crispy potatoes were the right amount of crunch and spice. The crispy potatoes had chunks of lime in it that were alarmingly sour but somehow complimented the dish. My mushroom toast had a delectable sauce topping with fresh scallions on french bread. We were very satisfied with our choices and had 1/2 my sandwich leftover plus our desserts to bring home. Many of the guests left empty plates when leaving so it seems their food is a hit! The only reason my "atmosphere" rating is missing a star is that our table was unfortunately near one of the restrooms so we would occasionally smell the disinfectant odor when someone opened the door. This was just a seating "feature" so of course it could not be helped. As far as other smells, we did notice that the kitchen, even if it was nearby, did not waft any fried food odors or smoke so their cooking area ventilation must be top-notch. All in all, a great foodie experience, cost about $100 with generous tip. Jane provided super customer service. We would come back for brunch or lunch here again, just not at the same table area

    I was very excited to visit Afternoon as I saw it was a Michelin recommended restaurant in…read moreGainesville. The service was impeccable from start to finish. I entered the restaurant at 9:15 am with my guest and were seated promptly. Our server proceeded with our drink order in which we requested a vanilla and brown sugar iced latte and lemonade. My vanilla and brown sugar latte was made well and was quite refreshing. The lemonade was a bit sweet but overall a good beverage. However, as our experience continued it became a bit of a let down. We ordered the Dutch baby with seasonal fruit, the big break, a cinnamon roll, and the afternoon hash. From time of placing the order to receiving our food was an overall total of 45 minutes. A bit of a long wait for breakfast/brunch style items. The cinnamon roll was not done well whatsoever, the roll itself was over kneaded which created a thick and heavy dough. Not the fluffy type of cinnamon roll you would expect. When our food did come out the Dutch baby was partly burnt, it did not taste as such but it was a bit flat in regard to taste. The potatoes in the hash and the big break were burnt. I wouldn't consider it crispy because they were so overcooked I could barely get my fork to go through. The taste of the hollandaise did redeem the dish a tad, however for $90 including tip it was not the dining experience I would come back to.
