    Strawberry matcha and salted caramel lattes
    Eowyn K.

    *Review for coffee only Necessary Purveyor is on the block outside of Ponce City Market. We stopped in for coffee after the market. I had a matcha latte with strawberry, and my friend had a salted caramel latte. Hers may have been the best salted caramel I've had. Mine was also very good. That said, they are very pricy, for the same standard size. The cafe is nice and airy, with lots of windows, upscale casual. The service was friendly, drinks were prompt, though I note it was not very busy during the last afternoon.

    Came on a weekend and it was definitely busy! The ordering process took a very long time! The line is long and getting your order is confusing. The coffee to the side doesn't even have a ticket system. They just say your name and leave it on the table but it got a little confusing if you share a name w someone or if you didn't see which drink they put down lol. I want the correct order if I'm paying $10 for a latte! We also got a breakfast plate and it was $18 and mediocre. The Rockos cutlet chicken was fried and pretty tender but the bread was a little dry. The service wasn't too friendly either, I tried to get a to go box and they just pointed in the direction of the line when the boxes were right in front of them. Overall, overpriced and overhyped in my opinion.

    Stopped by Necessary Purveyor recently and was really impressed. This newer addition to Ponce City Market seems to have found a great groove--what started with more of a fine-dining approach has clearly evolved into something more customer-driven and approachable. The vibe and energy are great. There's always a steady flow of people, but it never feels overly crowded - just the right amount of buzz. It works for just about anything: casual coffee/matcha (ceremonial grade!), breakfast, lunch, drinks, a date, meeting with parents, or even a quick business bite. The bar also has a TV, which is nice for sports fans. Big fan of the grab-and-go market section too - perfect for quick, healthier bites before you head out or for a stroll on the beltline. Service was impressively fast. We tried the Cobb salad, steak sandwich, and short rib hash. The steak sandwich was outstanding and easily the standout of the meal, and hash a close second. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to!

    Definitely one of those cute breakfast restaurants you go to for the picture or vibe. Since this is very common in Miami where I'm from, it wasn't anything out of this world for me. Felt like your typical semi-overpriced cafe. The egg biscuit was pretty good though!

    strawberry matcha
    Allen W.

    Great strawberry matcha! Got it three mornings in a row. Woke me up and tasted just right in terms of sweetness level. Also really liked the bacon egg cheese bagel and the avocado toast. They make it on a sourdough bread which is sooo soft and fluffy. The one disappointing breakfast item I tried was the lox bagel. The lox was really overpowering and a bit too fishy - not sure what brand they use. Service was fast and nice! There's a good handful of tables inside, of varying sizes. Really nice to sit there in the morning and enjoy a good breakfast.

    The main ATTRACTION!! chicken caesar wrap
    Nina J.

    uuUuuMmmMmM HELL YESSSZ! Came here because the chicken caesar was recommended, and omg!!!! It reminded me of a place from back home in Florida. Anyways, cayUuuUuTe cafe style vibes the kitchen and bar are in the center but the seating is nice. I believe it's lowkey a great coworking space as well. The cashier was also the bar tender great recommendations, super accommodating! Along with the wrap I got the shoe string fries 10/10. Will be back to try some pastries

    Pancakes

    Came in for brunch this past weekend and loved it. This spot is super cute and a great spot for a nice weekend brunch. Their lunch menu also looked really good - some good looking sandwich options. For brunch, we got the bacon egg and cheese biscuit and the pancakes. The biscuit sandwich was so good! The biscuit itself was delicious. The pancakes were yummy too. I liked the honey butter that came with it. It came with 3 pancakes so definitely enough to split! I also got the banana bread latte and it was incredible!

    Philly Cheesesteak
    John H.

    Came here when visiting the Old Fourth Ward area of downtown Atlanta. So glad this place was recommended! This is counter service and you order when you walk in, grab a number and your food is delivered by a SUPER friendly staff member. There is a cooler where there are some quick grab and drink options. We ordered the steak sandwich, the Philly cheesesteak and a BLT. ALL were excellent!! Each sandwich was served on ciabatta style bread which sometimes can be a little hard and crusty. These were not! Soft and delicious. These sandwiches were stuffed and I have to say my favorites were the BLT and the Philly. Thank goodness we are a sharing family! Plenty for now and definitely needed boxes for later. Fantastic meal! Served with pencil thin cut French Fries and a side of ketchup. The staff here are super friendly, and there was a slight mishap right next to us involving some broken dishes. The server who slipped could not have been nicer and apologetic. She checked back on us several times. The restaurant has super high ceilings and it was quite lively and busy in there. It was a bit loud, but the food and service well over shadowed any problem with the noise. We had a great time, a quick lunch and full bellies!! Great location in a super cool and trendy area right outside Ponce City Market! Get here for this BLT!!

    Chicken Cesar wrap

    This place is truly a gem. The interior is simply stunning and the food was AMAZING!! What a great addition to Ponce. The staff are super friendly and helped with so many recs. The banana bread latte was delicious and the "viral" chicken Cesar salad wrap was yummy! Can't wait to come back and try more and bring my laptop to do work next time!

    This is an amazing new spot to pop into at Ponce City Market!! Not only do they have amazing delicious coffee and pastries, but they also have a full brunch, lunch and dinner menu. The sandwiches are amazing and a perfect afternoon treat after shopping. I split a sandwich and fries with my sister and it was the perfect amount of food. I would highly recommend going over there! You can just walk in during the day and it seems like they have reservations as well for dinner!

    This place has been all over social media lately for their yummy sandwiches and good offering. I can't attest to that because we only stopped here for coffee. I'm trying to cut down on caffeine and unfortunately, they do not offer decaf espresso. The staff suggested I get one shot of espresso instead of two in my latte, so I did just that with lavender syrup. It was definitely on the sweet side and was decent. My husband ordered a cortado - one shot for $5!!! Everything was decent but definitely will come back and try their food next time.

    Cheesesteak
    Hannah S.

    This is a super cute little spot. I've heard alot of great things about it so I had to check it out. The sandwhich was good but it was a little pricey. You do get a good amount of food but I still think it was over priced. The staff was sweet and the food was prepared fast. I would come back to this place and try something else if I was in the area.

    This is a review on behalf of my husband, as they don't have much of anything GF (real bummer) but he loved it! He had a BEC sandwich for breakfast and an Iced Latte and really enjoyed them both. We went on their 2nd day open and it was already smooth sailing in there. Service was very friendly and fast. The space is so beautiful and clean. Great addition to the Scout Living hotel. I hope they consider getting some additional tea options (other than the current Chai and Matcha) in the future!

We had to make a decision quickly when we were pivoting, and when we came across the great reviews and photos of the food. we didn't think twice about checking to see if we could make it happen. When we arrived, the staff was already preparing our table, so we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is pretty tight, and you're going to be close to the tables near you, but we were able to sit comfortably. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders, and afterward she came back to answer any questions. Most of the food was ready at the same time. We appreciated that it came out as it was ready and wasn't left sitting. And everyone enjoyed the food! The only "complaint" one of my friends had was that she thought there was a little too much sauce in her shrimp and grits dish. She felt that the sauce, while it tasted great, overpowered the dish and she would've liked to taste more of the grits flavor. All in all, I'd say we'll likely be back to try something else on the menu.

    Breakfast at Barney's was such a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything we…read moreordered was full of flavor. One thing I really loved was the photo booth outside in the parking garage--it was such a fun touch and made the visit even more memorable. The only downside was the parking. Unless you're lucky enough to find street parking, you'll have to park in the garage, which wasn't my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and patient, especially since I'm very picky about drinks. She helped me choose one that I ended up loving. The atmosphere inside was also really nice, with a fun and welcoming vibe. I'd definitely come back!

    SUPER unimpressed with my visit here…read more Based on the decor, especially the photo area in the parking deck and the fake flower arch outside, my first impression was that this was going to be a "TikTok trap": a restaurant focused more on aesthetics than food or service. Unfortunately, that impression ended up being accurate. It took forever for our food to come out. The parties around us were clearly frustrated as well. I watched one table become visibly irritated, while another guest stopped a server to ask if the food being carried out was theirs because they had apparently been waiting over an hour. As the wait dragged on, I started paying closer attention to the decor, which I personally found tacky and gimmicky, especially the fake greenery hanging across the ceiling. The fried green tomatoes and sweet heat wings were really good, and I started to rethink my initial assessment of the restaurant. Everything went downhill from there. My "Rich Boy" sandwich itself was good, but it came with completely unseasoned fries. When I mentioned that I was supposed to have the "Rolex" fries, the server told me the plain fries were what I got. After clarifying with another server, they brought out the actual "Rolex" fries, which appeared to just be fries with a little parmesan and parsley on top. Supposedly they were truffle fries, but there wasn't even a hint of truffle flavor. My partner ordered the veggie sausage, which was overcooked and dry. Their eggs came out over easy instead of over medium, and the "signature grits" were more like cream cheese with a little bit of grits mixed in. We were told more grits would be brought out, but they never came. Another person in my party ordered the Southern seafood pasta, which had literally one piece of spinach in it. When she asked about it, the server responded that there was "more spinach coming." At that point, it became clear that Barney's is selling the illusion of luxury in order to justify premium prices for subpar food and service. It really was a TikTok trap after all. To make matters worse, when the check came, we were charged an additional $1.50 for eggs that already came with the meal. The explanation was that the eggs "came from the shell." Others in my party were also charged extra for liquor on top of the listed menu price for their drinks. Overall, I absolutely did not enjoy my experience here, and I will not be returning. Oh, and that other party that was visibly irritated with the wait had to wait even longer because there was a hair in their food.

If you like crazy loopy, different kind of stuff. There's a specific coffee shop and small gift shop in the back with social & environmental conscious products. Even have a film development drop off that I guess locals take advantage of cuz where do you go for that anymore other than some kind of chain pharmacy?. I took pictures for my posting but also for myself to consider coming back and shopping another time. Several of the magnets and signs I would love to own. The food is plentiful and flavorful.
