Curia On The Drag

"I'm new to Gainesville and heard about Curia from a co-worker. And one thing about me - If there's a restaurant I never heard of, I'm going to check out the menu! And Curia didn't disappoint. I really enjoyed that it's a mixture of different things. There's Auk, the gift market. The coffee shop + an add-on building as a nice workspace. And the highlight (for me), the food truck. I believe it's 100% vegan, so it was nice to try something different. I ordered the Black Bean Quesadilla (no spicy mayo since I wasn't sure how hot it was) and Yuca Fries. The food was PIPING hot! Fresh, flavorful, and on point. Though the quesadilla was good, thos yuca fries?? Whew! Those stole the show for me! And I think the sauce was an avocado sauce? I'm not sure, but the sauce was delectable. The environment is nice and shaded. Of course, Florida heat is its own thing. But I'm sure once the cooler months kick in, it'll be a joy to sit outside. Can't wait to try more goodies!"

"Very cute atmosphere for hanging out, cool music that isn’t distracting or too high volume. Our drinks tasted good (iced mocha and hot honey latte with oatmilk) but were overpriced, $7 for a 12 ounce mocha and $8 for the latte. Not many syrup options for flavoring the coffee, and definitely very few sweet ones, especially compared to other cafes nearby like CYM. The seating is much more comfortable than CYM and Curia has much faster Wifi."

"i was in gainesville and thought this food truck may be interesting to try! it was a really hot day, so i picked up my food and left, but the truck was in a nice area with a lot of patio seating, and the person inside preparing food was really helpful! i ordered the curia reuben (i love to try reubens) and i appreciated that it came on marbled rye! i enjoyed it and would recommend it to fellow reuben enjoyers. i also tried the baja style tacos which came in a nice warm tortilla! they were super messy to eat, but i liked the cubed tempeh and purple cabbage. lastly i got the guava bbq loaded mac and cheese. the toppings were fun, i love picked onions and coleslaw, but i didn’t taste much guava or bbq flavors, and there was some oily residue that was not part of the sauce that gathered around the noodles. i probably would not order it again. overall a good experience, and i would love to come back and try their rachel sandwich!"

"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."

"I went there for the vegan food and I was very pleased. Very good food I got the vegan Ruben with the loaded tater tots and they were excellent. Only seating outside and I would imagine that everything in handicapped accessible"
