Excellent coffee, laid back atmosphere, ample outdoors seating and a food truck after 11am (great loaded tots!). Thanks to a solar roof in the courtyard area there are lots of charging outlets for electronics and one space to charge an electric car

Very cute place to get coffee and hang out or to sit down and do some homework. I got a coffee and sat for hours doing homework. There’s free wifi and tons of parking, not a ton of inside seats. They have a cute outdoor section as we and a cool interior. Coffee / snacks are very reasonably priced and I recommend trying this out if you’re looking for a switch up from your traditional study environment

I accidentally found this place on my way back to South Florida and I only stopped at the food truck… and let me just say- I’m going to make it a point to stop again when I’m back next month and actually go inside the coffee shop too! I got the Baja “fish” tacos and the best yucca fries everrrrr!! I’m not even vegan but this meal was on point! And make sure and check out The Auk Market in the same lot before or after your amazing food!

Nestled in the heart of Gainesville, Curia on the Drag is an absolute gem of a shop that offers an experience unlike any other. From the moment you step through the door, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and creativity. I recently visited Curia on the Drag and was immediately drawn in by the cozy and inviting ambiance. The shop's eclectic decor, with its vintage furnishings and vibrant art pieces adorning the walls, creates a truly unique and charming space. I started my visit with a steaming cup of coffee, and I must say, it was perfection in a mug. Rich, aromatic, and expertly brewed, it was the ideal companion to a leisurely afternoon. Paired with a delectable cookie, freshly baked and wonderfully indulgent, it was a match made in heaven. However, the highlight of my visit was the Bagel Bomb. Let me tell you, it was nothing short of spectacular! Bursting with flavor and filled to the brim with savory goodness, each bite was a delightful explosion of taste. The combination of fluffy bagel, creamy cheese, and savory fillings was simply divine. But it's not just the food and drinks that make Curia on the Drag so special. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the place. Whether you're looking for a cozy spot to work or catch up with friends, Curia on the Drag offers the perfect setting. In conclusion, Curia on the Drag is a must-visit for anyone in Gainesville. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur, a foodie seeking delicious treats, or simply looking for a cozy and welcoming space to relax, this place has it all. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delightful offerings!

Yay!! Love finding not just vegan friendly, but 100% vegan. And it's a collective of a few places. So. So. Dreamy!! Cute little space to hang out, study, write, eat, shop, and have a coffee/tea/beer/wine. Had the Crabby Patty from the food truck. OMG. Mmmmm. Love when I find dishes that aren't on every other menu. The guava and cream cheese turnover and cookies were amazing. Dad's Bar is a hip little place to grab a sip. And. The AUK market has loads of adorableness.

Be aware: as of yesterday food truck is now closed indefinitely. When I went a couple weeks ago the food & service were great and there are several spacious outdoor areas to eat. Coffee shop & gift shop are still open and their vegan baked goods are delicious. I hope the food truck reopens soon- the tempeh Reuben was amazing!

Update: Returned and attended their annual Valentine’s Day Market on a cloudy day. Enjoyed the coffee and all of the vendors but especially the art work. Cool vibe and nice way to spend a part of the day. Parking can be harrowing but would definitely return! Really only got to see this from the outside but enjoyed the fact that all of the shops are connected and open up to a courtyard to recline, eat or gather… very cool place for sure.

This place is so cool! If you have never been here before it is important to note that the food truck, the store, the coffee shop, and the bar— are all one business. You can sit anywhere. And the vibes are immaculate! 100% vegan menu. My vegan friend loved it, I thought the food truck was pretty good and the baked goods were amazing. 10/10 recommend if you’re in the area.

Anthony was the best! He was just about to close the food truck for the night, but he was kind enough to stay open and make some absolutely delicious food for me. I highly recommend getting take out or even sitting outside in the patio. The vibes are always great, the service is amazing, and the food is exquisite!

Curia on the Drag is one of my favorite cozy spots in Gainesville. The ambiance is incredibly relaxing, made even better by the beautiful jazz music that plays softly in the background. It creates the perfect atmosphere to unwind or get some light work done. As a big tea person, I especially appreciate their wide selection of teas. The mint tea with honey is a personal favorite. It is refreshing, soothing, and just the right amount of sweet. There’s plenty of outdoor seating if you like the fresh air, but as someone who prefers indoor spaces, I find the interior to be warm, welcoming, and ideal for reading or studying. All in all, a gem of a café.
