Looks like googleapis will not work if you don't specify Host header inside of your request. After adding it everything works as it should:

This is adapters's XML section

    
        https
        maps.googleapis.com
        443            
    
    

This is adapter's JS:

function doGet() {

var input = {
    method : 'get',
    returnedContentType : 'json',
    path : 'maps/api/place/search/json',
    headers: {
        Host: 'maps.googleapis.com'
    },
    parameters : {
        'key'       :   'AIzaSyCTlPms1pvhzeoRrBao5qW-DJMI_CWcbAM',
        'location'  :   '52.0700,1.1400',
        'radius'    :   '10000',
        'sensor'    :   'false',
        'name'      :   'coffee' 
    }
};

var response = WL.Server.invokeHttp(input);
return response;

}
