2 Friends Coffee Shop - Gainesville

Cindy's Cafe and Bakery is a charming, homely establishment adorned with antiques. They offer free WiFi and fantastic prices on baked goods. This was my second visit since starting at UF, and it has quickly become one of my go-to spots. It's a must-visit for a cup of coffee, studying, or simply exploring a new, lovely place in Gainesville. Conveniently, they also provide free parking right at their location.

This restaurant is a hidden treasure. I returned for the lunch special for the second time, and today's meal was a delicious meat chili and veggie calzone. The customer service is exceptional, and the food is even better. The grilled cheese and tomato soup I had on my last visit was amazing. I believe the ladies running this place deserve all the recognition, and I will continue to visit as often as I can.
