Love the atmosphere but the latte was way overpriced and not that good. $9 for a latte is just overpriced. I wouldn’t mind if it was good…

Super cute trendy place. Would have been all five stars by the service at the counter was a little off with the cashier's attitude. The barista was fantastic so she gets the five stars. Definitely will be back when visiting Gainesville again!!

This place has been on my radar for a minute and I have seen nothing but great things from here. Curia on the Drag has a food truck that serves 100% vegan food items. I have been more trying to eat less processed food and being able to see the ingredients in what I'm eating. When walking up to the truck, there's a pavillion/outdoor area that you sit at and order from the QR code on the table. It's also a great place to meet up with friends for lunch, or even get some remote work done. The guys at the food truck were very friendly and had great personalities. They answered any questions I had about the menu. I saw on Instagram that they were promoting a vegan version of bibimbap. It's a Korean dish with rice and mixed veggies and marinated meat. So for Curia's take on the dish, they used beyond meat and layered it on top of rice, with cabbage, cucumber, shredded carrots, a sweet spicy sauce, and sesame seeds. Let me tell you, this was SOOOO good! The rice was cooked perfectly, it was almost like the consistency of sushi rice. I'm not the biggest fan of beyond meat because it has always given me that fake taste. However, the way it was cooked and marinated - it was so soft and chewy like real beef. I really enjoyed it alot more than I thought I would. The sauce was sweet, savory, and spicy and was like a fireworks show in my mouth. So many different flavor profiles but they all complimented each other so well. The veggies were a great addition that added a freshness about the dish. I was mad at myself for not getting any desserts or baked goods, but next time that will be on my list of food items to try.

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!

Really enjoyed the experience! It's a mish mash of coffee shop/food truck/vintage shopping experience smooshed into a semi-urban compound.

Curia is fantastic, great coffee from local and regional roasters. Quality pastries for a bite to eat (bagel bombs ?️??️). Solid atmosphere, plenty of space for seating, and it's clean!

It's a real shame. We come here all the time and the cashier today charged us way more for our drink. When I tried to explain, she shook her head, changed the price, and then said she'd never waited on me before and hoped she never would again. Now, I'm pretty sure that is not how you treat customers, especially when you value your job. It's a real shame if she's treating other people this way and giving a great vegan place a bad name. I didn't get her name but she was wearing a flannel shirt and had long wavy hair--probably 5'5" or so. I would highly recommend you relieve her of at least a customer facing role.
