I went to Necessary Purveyor for the first time a few weeks ago, and I had the most lovely experience. It was so good that went back last week. It's such a cute and quaint restaurant. The service was great. Everyone was really patient and kind. The parking wasn't bad. I just parked in the pickup/drop off spots in front of the Scout entrance (I did order online lol!). The food was soo tasty! I ordered the basic breakfast plate both times--bacon, avocado, sourdough toast, eggs, potatoes, and a few slices of tomato. Very simple, but it was done well, which made all the difference. I can't wait to go back, and I'd highly recommend! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I ordered a matcha and it was tasty. I was a bit sticker shocked when I purchased the drink here compared to some of the other matcha drinks I've purchased. Inside is super cute and would be great for a brunch spot or to work remote for a morning. I felt the flavor add-in was a bit mild and wished it had been a bit stronger/more bold. read more

It's a nice casual ambiance. I was just in the neighborhood and wanted to stop in to check out this new business. There is a bar and there's also tables.You order your food and then you sit. the-line for just coffee's or pastries is separate from where you would order food. I ordered a latte - $7. If you want to add any sweetener, even if it's just simple syrup 1dollar. I went ahead and just got salted caramel to make my money's worth. There's one bathroom in the lobby of scout living. It's a gender-neutral bathroom, but there's just one. it's really nice. Have great products and great décor. I definitely would like to come back here and try some of their food. read more

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! read more

I was very disappointed in this place. My friends and I came on a Sunday afternoon and had to wait for people to leave so we could sit after we ordered. We got the don theo , short rib & rockos cutlet. It was about $20 for each sandwich which is way overpriced. I won't come here again. read more

Loved this place! The food was really good. I ordered a cheese danish, which was a little toasted for my taste, but still good. I also has an iced coffee and a biscuit with scrambled eggs and avocado, both amazing. I was glad I ordered the danish because the food took a little while to get there. The staff was all really nice and helpful. I also really loved the music. read more

3rd time's a charm! I was on the HUNT for a great cup of coffee. I didn't even know this place existed. Stopped by Ponce City Market for an unrelated matter and Purveyor was PACKED!

tep inside and the first thing that grabs you is the space itself airy, open, and full of natural light. It's got that minimal, farmhouse-inspired aesthetic that makes you want to sit back and soak it all in. There's plenty of seating, so it never feels cramped, even during busier hours. Service, though, left something to be desired. I'm big on customer experience, and sometimes all it takes is a simple "hello" to set the tone. Here, the staff felt more reserved, which made the atmosphere feel a little flat. The main reason I came, though, was for the coffee. BigFace Coffee founded by NBA star Jimmy Butler has been on my radar, and I had to see what the hype was about. I ordered my usual vanilla oat latte. The roast itself was impressive: smooth, with a perfect shot that wasn't too bitter or sour. The flavor leaned a little sweet, but it still allowed the espresso to shine through. Beyond coffee, the menu extends to handcrafted sandwiches, pastries, and even a full bar, so there's something for everyone. Overall, my experience was good but not great. The coffee lived up to the reputation, the space was beautifully designed, but the customer service kept it from being as memorable as it could have been. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit just don't expect the warmest welcome read more

Been coming here since they opened and received the worst service from Kim W. I've typically been able to adjust my egg preference on my bagel (done this plenty of times before, the manager also assured that though they typically don't, they didn't mind bc I've come so often) anyway.. she took my order and after taking my payment, she walks back over to me and says "look, we will not be able to do this again." Look? Excuse me? Really wish if she was unsure she would have been stern and not allow me to make adjustments and I wouldn't have been so irritated. But to take my order, take my payment, and call yourself checking a customer is unacceptable. Will never come back bc of such poor service. read more

Food is excellent (5 stars), but service is trying to catch up. Despite friendly vibe and apparent effort, coffee bar is confusing and takes much longer than it should. I think they are figuring it out. However, everybody noticed that the TASTE of the coffee was top tier. Variety of brunch-type breakfast meals are hearty and nicely done. Informal seating areas. Grab a table while you can! read more

I had the Short Rib & Fontina sandwich that has been the rage of food critics lately and it absolutely did not disappoint. The short rib melts in your mouth.

Food and coffee are pretty good but the older cashier lady is so un pleasant doesn't make for a positive experience

We went here for the chicken Caesar wrap advertised on their website, which is unfortunately no longer on the menu. Instead, we ordered the Rocko's Cutlet sandwich, which was equally delicious -- the pepperoncinis were an especially nice touch. I am a former vegetarian, so usually very picky about chicken, but this was delicious. The place was crowded, but they were a well-oiled machine, and everyone we encountered was very friendly. We especially enjoyed the open kitchen, where we watched everything being made fresh. HIGHLY recommend if you're in the area. Definitely the best chicken Caesar situation I've encountered. Ambiance was impressive, especially for a counter service place. read more

Phenomenal sandwiches. Chefs kiss. Kinda busy at times and feels like a lot going on when it's busy but the food will not disappoint. Turkey avocado club, short rib sandwich and lobster roll are my faves. Coffee is sub par. Sandwiches top tier! read more

This place is a gem. Been in Georgia for business for a few weeks and I'm here almost every morning. The staff is warm and welcoming and the store is beautiful. You can either dine in or choose a great selection of grab and go quality food from the cooler, great option for those who are on long stays or working late. Ownership/ Management is hospitality driven and it is %1000 visible in the staff. Jordan and Tyler will take the time to make you feel welcome and Chris and Mel at the cashier area will remember your name and make you feel like your at home every time. Blown away. The food is also amazing which helps but the hospitality is above and beyond in every way from top to bottom. read more

This is my second time, I really wanting to give this place a try, but the manager's a tall african American gentleman's attitude completely killed my mood. From the moment I stepped inside, his energy was cold and unwelcoming -- like I was bothering him just by being there. No smile, no greeting, just a bad attitude that instantly made me uncomfortable. I hadn't even sat down yet before deciding to leave. If that's how management treats customers, I can only imagine what the rest of the experience would be like. There are too many good restaurants out here with great food and friendly service I'll take my business to one of them. Please talk to him he's hurting your business. read more

If i could give this place zero stars I would. From the beginning to the end, it's the worst run restaurant I've ever experienced. Large number of people waiting to be told about seating-took 15 minutes everyone standing. Went to the bar to sit. Only had 1 menu for 3 people. Out of Salmon at noon. Still didn't get our order after 40 minutes, then salad with literally 3 tiny pieces of chicken and wait for it...they had no forks. Forgot another order of chicken tenders, and the burrito was 95% lettuce with few tiny pieces of chicken. Asked a second time for a to go fork and they put a tiny wooden fork down that couldn't stab a piece of lettuce much less anything else. Whole time we are waiting, watching a girl with very long hair hang over a bowl of dressing, whisking for 20 minutes near the cash register, not the kitchen. Very chaotic, unprofessional place. We asked for the manager and after a long wait he came over and just stared at us after we spoke of our experience- (incredibly rude woman took our order at bar). He literally had no response. We've never walked out of a restaurant, but there's a first time for everything. read more

The BEC (bacon, egg, cheese biscuit) was by far the best I've ever had. The biscuit was perfect! Substantial, flavorful, delicious!

I've been here before on a less crowded day and it was good, but today was a miss for me. I got the bacon egg and cheese and the eggs have a burnt film on the top. I also got an iced latte (the banana bread one) and it was not good. I ordered it with the vanilla cold foam. When they gave it to me, it didn't have cold foam so I asked them to add it and watched them use the CANNED Trader Joe's "cold foam" which if you've ever used, you know it isn't the correct texture for a cold foam and immediately dissolves in the drink, and also has a very fake artificial vanilla taste to it. It left the drink tasting way too sweet and fake tasting. I expect more from a $9 latte, especially with the $1 up charge for CANNED cold foam. I highly recommend going a couple blocks down the road to finca to filter for coffee instead, or if you are looking for an amazing banana latte, Enid's in Inman Park read more

My friend and I both ordered the Mexi Cali wrap and neither had any chicken whatsoever. So we each spent $20 on a wrap that was 95% romaine lettuce. Disappointed. Last time I got the lobster roll which was delicious albeit very expensive. Very cute interior -- reminds me of Tatte in DC. read more

As someone from NJ - this is the closest thing I've had to feeling at home in ATL. That's dramatic, but seriously the best sandwich I have had in Atlanta - maybe top 10 including those back home. The sandwiches ARE pricey (this one was $18) for ordering at a counter and not being full sit down, but one sandwich is plenty for two people to share or to take home the other half for later. Worth it in my opinion. Strawberry matcha is expensive but there's a reason why I keep coming back - it's insane. The staff are super friendly and attentive. The vibes are great, not overwhelmingly loud at all. If I come in the mornings to do work I'd have no issue focusing. read more
