//The line

Café Maud is an all-day neighborhood café and cocktail bar at 132 2nd Ave in the East Village, serving breakfast through dinner and running late as a bar — a format (coffee shop by day, cocktail bar by night) that tends to draw steady walk-in traffic across a long daily window rather than one single rush.

Our single search turned up hours, address, and Yelp/Resy listings but no specific press or review mentions of long lines or notable waits, and the venue does have a Resy booking page for its East Village location — so reservations appear to be available rather than the spot being strictly walk-in or no-reservations. Given its late Thursday–Saturday hours (open to 2am) and all-day café format, weekend brunch and late-night hours are the most plausible busy windows, but we don't have reported wait-time specifics to cite.

//When the line peaks
Weekend mornings/early afternoons (brunch hours) are the likeliest busy stretch for an all-day café of this type Thursday–Saturday late night is extended to 2am, suggesting a bar-driven late crowd on those nights Weekday daytime (outside the traditional brunch window) is likely the quieter option based on the all-day café format

How long is the wait at Café Maud in the East Village?

Damnlines does not have a live camera at Café Maud yet, so we can't show a real-time wait count. From what's publicly reported, it's a popular all-day East Village café and cocktail bar with a Resy reservation page, which suggests walk-in waits are more likely at peak brunch and weekend-evening hours; we did not find specific reported wait times to cite.

Does Café Maud take reservations?

Yes — the East Village location has a booking page on Resy, so reservations appear to be an option there rather than a strict walk-in-only or no-reservations policy.

What are Café Maud's hours?

Per its Yelp and official listings: roughly 9am–12am Sunday through Wednesday, 9am–2am Thursday and Friday, and 8am–2am Saturday (hours can change, so confirm on Yelp or the official site before visiting).

What is Café Maud known for?

It's described as an all-day neighborhood café and bar in the East Village serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner alongside a hand-crafted cocktail program — a daytime coffee-and-food spot that also runs as a late-night bar.

When is the best time to go to avoid a wait at Café Maud?

We don't have specific reported wait data to cite, but given its all-day café-plus-cocktail-bar format with late Thursday–Saturday hours (until 2am), weekend brunch hours and Friday/Saturday late night are the times most likely to be busiest; a weekday mid-afternoon visit is a reasonable bet for shorter waits.
