    Save your money and time ! Went Early and they were almost out of every milk besides one specific kind . They had no eggs for bfast sandwich. They had to remake my Sandwich 3 times . Waited an hour for food and coffee . There were only 2 staff members . One making the food and one making drinks . I recall the one taking orders just walking out ! I felt terrible having to have my sandwich re made , but it wasn't what I ordered . It's pretty small and tight . Not alot of room when the line to order is getting long & there's no much help + to have people standing there waiting for food and drinks . Just makes it super tight .The coffee was bland , watered down . Food was just ok . Plenty of other great coffee shops around instead .

    Aways something good on TV.

    I love it here, you can't rip me away! For me to love a coffee shop, it has to be lowkey, casual, plenty of seating, and has to also have a full menu, and I need there to be a general culture of minding your business. Luckily for me, we have Cafe Lucia. This location is conveniently next to Piedmont Park for when you're trying to have one of your mysterious, aesthetic Saturdays (yall know what I'm talking about,) and take your little walk after you grab your latte and send 2 emails. I can't answer about the parking; I imagine it's a nightmare. But this is usually one stop of many for me so it doesn't matter. There is always plenty seating and all of the food is good. Sometimes there is a wait for food but you will be okay, trust me. It's a very relaxing environment, especially if you're someone who doesn't know anything about coffee; it's not stuck up like the others. But if you need help: if they've written in a latte menu on the board next to the register, get one of those!

    Peach and Vanilla Latte
    Jessica S.

    Great coffee shop in Midtown right by Piedmont Park! I got the peach and vanilla latte which was pretty good. I am normally not a big fan of local coffee - I just dont like the taste of a lot of them. This one was not bad tho and it was just sweet enough! The barista was really nice and the service was fast. They seem to have a pretty extensive food menu too and the prices arent bad. They also have skim milk!! My main gripe with local coffee is that they never have skim

    Avo Toast

    Quaint little place. Quite reasonably priced. Food was delicious - very healthy! Coffee was solid! Be patient though - takes 20 minutes for food to arrive. Namaste!

    Sausage Cakes Breakfast
    Sarah L.

    Eh. I was excited to finally try Cafe Lucia on Saturday, but was mildly disappointed. I got an iced coffee and the sausage cakes. The employee that took my order didn't know about the latter menu item and laughed at me, asking if I meant something else. I said yes out of embarrassment until they realized it was an item on the menu. Service took a really, really long time although it was friendly. The iced coffee was rough. It tasted like old diner coffee over ice, and I couldn't finish it. The pancakes were alright, but not really worth the price or calories IMO. I did like the vibes here; felt very 90s coffee shop vibes. Four stars for that ambience, three for service, two for food. Eh.

    Met up with a client for a business meeting at Café Lucia Midtown. First time dining here and over all it was a pretty good experience. I ended up ordering a ice chai latte and a turkey sausage breakfast sandwich, while my client ordered a regular office and and muffin. Our drinks were made quickly but the food did take a minute. They do give the disclaimer that it may take a while because they focus on quality over quantity, but trust me when I say it's worth the wait because the food was delicious! If you're looking for a nice spot to give a fresh cup of coffee and just relax, this is the place for you. And if you're trying to get coffee on the go, just order ahead. It'll save you a lot of time!

    Caribbean latte with oat milk
    Lauren H.

    I got an iced Caribbean latte with oat milk. It was really sweet. I don't see it on the menu on the website or their Instagram and I don't remember everything that was in it. The place is close to piedmont park, so it's nice for grabbing a drink before you go to the park. There are a few outdoor spots, but the inside isn't especially cute to hang out in.

    Iced White Mocha and Iced Coconut Matcha
    Hailey H.

    Super cute spot in downtown for coffee or breakfast. My friend and stopped by after class to get some work done. The girl working was very nice and helpful with recommendations. I got an iced white mocha latte with oatmilk and it was amazing. My friend got an iced coconut matcha with oatmilk and he said it was delish. The drinks were very resonably priced aswell! Great place to sit and get some work done or just get a cute drink:)

    Iced Honey Bee Latte, Americano
    Jacklyn K.

    Cute little low key spot for coffee or a quick breakfast/lunch bite. Despite the bad reviews we enjoyed our order and it came out quickly. Interesting vibe on a Sunday as there's some drinking (full bar) and others doing work in surround tables/couch. Something for everyone I guess! Honeybee latte was a little tooo sweet for me but my husband found it delcious. Americano was decent as well. We had the garden veggie sandwich on naan which was also yummy, but had raw onions and peppers which wasn't what we expected but still good! Just a few mins walk from the park so will keep it in mind for lazy weekend days!

    Veggie Omelette
    Tiffany J.

    This place was amazing!! The food was great and the service was impeccable!! It really is reminiscent of a quaint cafe! I ordered a veggie omelette and Honeybee Latte with Almond milk and they both were delicious!! I love that they sautéed the veggies first. They also have a lot of meatless options for use vegetarians. They have an incredible tea and coffee selection and serve pastries and muffins, croissants, and bagels too! I'm a huge fan and will definitely be back! Oh and it's owned by a black woman which is the cherry on top!!!

    The dirty bird with turkey bacon on a croissant is the best breakfast sandwich in midtown. Very tasty. Very consistent.

My favorite dish was definitely the jambalaya. The jambalaya was great for tasting all the meats. The Mac n cheese was so cheesy and fresh. My favorite meat however was definitely the sausage, however all the plates had some version with sausage. The employees were so kind and helpful and had great southern hospitality. The food was made fresh and took less than 10 minutes to make. If I'm ever back in the Atlanta area, I will be coming here again. Also great location in terms of downtown. Best food, best prices, and best portions!

I had the Apollo 13 8" (pinners) sandwich and it was delicious, the juice from the dressing was running down my hand and yet, the sandwich still wasn't soggy or wet and the bread was perfectly toasted.

It was not huge in a bad way, but just enough to be satisfying and filling. the staff was friendly and as I was waiting for my sandwiches I realized that this place is very cannabis friendly, from the Thanks for Pot Smoking sign to the 420-day promotion they are running. Full bar and lots of daily drink special.

Ramen, sushi, Korean BBQ, and more!! The shelves are full of some nostalgic Asian snacks and drinks you just don't find anywhere inside the perimeter. I was really excited to see bibimbap with a chicken option!! Now THAT is rare!! But I wanted to try the spicy Korean BBQ chicken more. I can't wait to come back to try the bimbimbap though. My BBQ came with kimchi & a noodle salad in the side, and it was amazing! The chicken wasn't what I expected--which I thought was more like bulgogi--but the grilled chicken is so good! And the spicy sauce wasn't terribly spicy but definitely tasty! Kimchi was crispy & full of nice flavor! Satisfying for sure! My daughter wanted a crispy spicy tuna roll, and they customized a plain roll upon request! I thought that was cool. And my son loved his beef ramen--slurping up a pile of well-made noodles & broth. It is an order-and-collect your food at the counter type of deli, but the cashier was nice and accommodating. We didn't have to wait very long at all.

You order food at the counter and can sit wherever. It's a very casual setting. The food was ready in about 10-15 minutes. We ordered the Galbi, Bulgogi, chicken bibimbap, and dumplings for three of us to share and it was more food than we could finish. Everything was seasoned to perfection and super flavorful. The Galbi was especially delicious and melted in my mouth. I highly recommend! I would say the pricing is reasonable given the large portions and for the location. There is plenty of seating but parking in this area is always difficult. It's a great spot to stop for food, though, if you're in the area exploring the tourist attractions or going to a game. I'll happily be back.
