No. Google Maps is an ever-expanding database of free business data: marketers can find place names, addresses, phone numbers, and official websites. However, Google Maps does not provide information on business email addresses or social media accounts to reach out through.
Luckily, most businesses do list their contact details in one place their websites which are often mentioned on their Google Maps detail cards. For instance, this New York place does not indicate their email or socials on Google Maps, but they do list their official website.
A Google Maps place usually contains its address, phone number, and website. To find more contact details, one needs to actually visit their website.
