    Ordered iced strawberry white matcha latte - with my own metal lined tumbler. Requested less sweet. Not sure if it's thr coffee or my mug or what - but there's an acid bitter aftertaste that I don't like. Service is good. Super friendly man working the counter. Small cozy place. Air circulation inside the cafe is not great. The whole place smells like fryer. The outside stinks as well - blame it on the downtown location

    Yikes! Walked in to Lucia, to find the manager and two newly former employees having a confrontation. Two newly hired employees were put in an awkward position. I just wanted an Americano and a bagel. Newly hired employee was not aware how to make it, so manager in between confrontation tells him to mix, what was an already pull shot w hot water. I passed on the bagel. Post confrontation manager has walked in and out of Lucia multiple times(smoke and beverage breaks), leaving the newly hired guys to seemingly fend for themselves. Both said it was their first day. A movie!

    Avocado Veggie sandwich on Everything Bagel

    Serviceable small coffee shop with food, pastries, coffee and tea. Polite and kind staff. The avocados veggie sandwich was decent, appreciate the peppers were cooked fresh, wish the bagel was warmer. The booth seating was a bit tight and the cushions were worn out unfortunately .

    Vanilla Iced Latte

    One of the best coffee spots for any GSU students. It's on the outer edge of campus and has a little bit of seating. The staff is very friendly and has great vibes. The coffee is worth the wait as they take their time between orders. It's a small shop so be appreciative for them!

    It was okay. Vibe was interesting, food was not seasoned and making slight adjustments made for a more tasty turnout. Coffee was alright since I was on a time crunch. I discovered a new tea that they had available which was a nice touch. Overall, another Atlanta gentrified restaurant. And where is Lucia? Does she have salt?

    Speedy service, good coffee, nice baristas! What more could you ask for in a neighborhood coffee shop? Gave me that friends/Brooklyn vibe! Will visit again next time I stay at The Glenn!

    They make a great 8oz cappuccino! Nice little coffee shop, a few booths inside, but additional seating can be found in the hallway. The girl working was very nice and service was fast.

    Lol got the lavender latte and she put too much lavender in it. Taste like bong/weed and soap.

    I owe Brooklyn Deli an apology for not finding them sooner…read more As a New Yorker turned Atlantan, I have spent the last year quietly lowering my expectations for bagels here. I've had some that were OK. Some that were good-ish. Some that were simply round bread with a hole in the middle. I began to accept that it just wasn't a thing here. And then today I ordered the whitefish bagel from Brooklyn Deli. Oh. My. God. The bagel was chewy, fresh, and actually tasted like a BAGEL. The whitefish was incredible. The whole thing tasted like nostalgia. Like somebody briefly picked me up from Atlanta and dropped me back on 24th and 3rd for brunch. Absolutely remarkable. No notes. My bagel-related cynicism has been temporarily suspended, and Brooklyn Deli has earned the extremely prestigious approval of one extremely dramatic former New Yorker.

    As a displaced yankee now in Atlanta, I'm usually prepared to have my heart broken when I see "New…read moreYork style" food being billed outside of New York. (I'm looking at you, Jack's New Yorker Deli.) But I was in the Ansley Mall neighborhood for some errands and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. It was a Sunday afternoon and the line was out the door so that is usually a good sign. I went with the Brooklyn sandwich (Hot pastrami, coleslaw, swiss, spicy mustard, & Russian dressing). You can opt for the smaller portion of meat (the ATL) or the larger portion (New York). It was just the right amount of coleslaw, mustard and Russian dressing so that the bread wasn't sopping wet. And the pastrami is hot and it wasn't overly greasy either. A nice balance with the side order of potato salad. It was a little more sandwich than I needed for lunch but it was pretty faithful to New York style all things considered. $18.50 for the larger New York version of the Brooklyn sandwich including tax. I was tempted by the Dr. Brown's sodas from back home and all of the pastries and deli items for sale as you are making your way up to the front to place your order. Sunday afternoon is not really the time to shop around because of how busy it gets in there so a return trip is definitely in order.

    Hands down the best breakfast and brunch in Atlanta for the price!…read more I love a good diner, and Goldbergs delivers every single time. It's light years ahead of J Christopher's, White Hall, First Watch, you game it. Now you won't get a fancy coffee or Instagram able photo, but you'll get solid food. I've been eating here for years and genuinely crave it about every three weeks...it's that good. You really can't go wrong. Portions are generous especially for the price, service is consistently solid (though wait times can vary, it's popular!), and with so many locations you can usually find one nearby. They're also great about modifying cooking oils for those of us who prefer olive oil or other healthier options. My go-to is an omelette or the nova scramble, with home fries -- big, crispy potato chunks with sautéed peppers and onions -- plus a side of toast, English muffin, or bagel (or swap for salad or fruit). My husband swears by their latkes, too. Classic, satisfying, and a total win for brunch lovers.

    Shame on you bagel hole! I have been there every single day this week because I moved to Florida…read moreand only come back here once a month. Every day this week that I was there, I had an issue with either they made something wrong or gave me less than desirable bagels or even put an everything bagel unwrapped in with sweet bagels and they were left covered with seasoning. I always add a tip even though I think it's ridiculous to tip before you even know what you're going to get, but today I only gave them $.92 to round up to the next dollar since this week has not gone well. This bagel is burnt and most likely inedible. I ordered it uncut and untoasted because I was going to take it home with me and it will be a struggle to make it have any life in it because if I toast it, it will just be terrible since it's already burnt and bitter. Apparently $.92 is not good enough, so I got the crappiest bagel in the bin and there were lots of nice ones. I guess no matter how busy I am, if I want a bagel, I will have to drive out of my way and go to BB's!

Is this just supposed to be a hard boiled egg breakfast sandwich? i don't understand why anyone would want a rubbery, overdone egg with a greenish yolk as the star of the show. The cheese isn't melty and, in a town full of delicious biscuit offerings, i found the biscuit to be dry and stale. the evergreen breakfast sandwich continues to puzzle the hell out of me. i'll stick to Little Tart's offering from now on.

Housesitting brought me to the neighborhood, and now I might have to make the trek regularly. I bought three sourdough bagels and a brown butter coconut cookie. My blood sugar was low and I absolutely could not resist eating the cookie on my way home. Wow.. It was so chewy and delicious. Both flavors come through really nicely. On to the bagels... These are, by far, the best bagels I've had in Atlanta. Honestly, they put the chain bagel spots to shame. The interior is really open and has that beautiful sourdough tang. They're perfectly crusted on the outside and provide a nice base for a spread/schmear. I'm so so impressed. Thank you Evergreen. I'll be back.

The female who took my order is physically arm length from grabbing the bagels with the tongs, and does not. Mind you, the place is not busy AT ALL! Nobody in line before me, nobody waiting for their order type not busy! I thought I could stand at the counter and wait for her to grab my bagels, instead she told me to "wait at the window"?! Umm.. two bagels. Put them in a bag, hand them to me. Easy. But no. I waited at that window, watching the two employees making sandwiches, while I'm waiting for TWO AS-IS BAGELS. What?!? THEN, I see dude in the back cutting, what looks like the two flavors of the bagels I ordered AS IS, so I say "Sir, no! That's not how I want them or ordered them." To receive ZERO response. Again, listening skills are NOT A STRONG POINT HERE. Will not be back. Took WAY too long for two AS IS bagels that I could have actually grabbed with tongs myself from the open baskets, but not knowing if that was allowed, I didn't. Instead, it took near 10 minutes what could have taken 20 seconds. Just baffling. So, to answer the question "What could improve?"
