    Avocado Veggie sandwich on Everything Bagel
    Hussain L.

    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 .

    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.

    Such a cute cafe! I was looking for a place to work for a few hours prior to a special event and landed on Cafe Lucia. It's a small coffee shop with comfortable seating and it was far roomier than expected. When I first arrived there was only couch seating available and although I was dreaming of a table, I took the spot that I could and kept pushing. Once I got comfy I decided to place my order and get to work. The register/prep area was super cute and covered in art and stickers. The menu was clearly displayed and they even had a special board highlighting the seasonal specials. I rarely drink coffee these days and was happy to see their line up tea options for any future visits. There were so many great options! I began with an iced coffee (because it was so hot outside!) and a turkey pesto sandwich on a croissant + bacon. I don't like to be dramatic (jk) but this was a top 10 sandwich. The bread was incredible, there was tons of bacon and turkey, and it was just incredibly flavorful. My coffee was smooth and not incredibly sweet, just what I needed to kickstart my tasks. The team was also quite wonderful! It was a chill day in there but they were patient, helpful when I had questions about the menu and my order was fantastic. Once I got my coffee, a table became available and I quickly snatched it up and got comfy as I waited on my sandwich. I loved that there were outlets all over, including a few under my table. Wifi was strong and easy to access, essential for remote work. The only bummer about this cafe is the bathroom situation. The experience with the cafe was 5-stars but the restrooms had me hesitate just a bit when rating, but they can't help the layout of that building! Note that Cafe Lucia is housed in is an amazing historical building that was opened in 1914. So to expect them to have an ensuite bathroom may have been silly on my part, lol. But when I did find myself needing to go, the team member at the front gave me the key and directions to find the ladies room. They even watched my items for me while I went. Now, I did not expect the journey that laid in front of me, lol. I wish I would have listened closer to the directions, but they seemed so simple! (Spoiler alert: They were not.) I got down the stairs as instructed but from there, it was my best guess. The area was a garage-like vibe but there were 3 or 4 people sitting down there talking or resting, so at least it wasn't terribly creepy. Would I spend more than 10 minutes down there alone? Absolutely not. After looking goofy and lost for another minute or so, I stumbled upon the bathroom and saw it had a locked door and figured I was in the right place. It was pretty clean despite being in the dungeon, lol. Seriously a wonderful experience all around and next time I'll know how to find the bathroom. ;-)

    Love the ambiance

    What a gorgeoussss coffe shop!! I have seen Daydreamer all over social media and after reading the…read morereviews on Yelp, I thought it would be a great place to spend a morning working. I circled the block before I found street parking about a block away from the coffee shop. Because it was a weekday morning, I wasn't surprised that the streets were busy and parking didn't end up costing too much. After a brief walk, I approached the building and first impressions were fantastic. Daydreamer is connected to an apartment building and the aesthetics are on point. Like, this place is gorgeous! There was way more seating than I expected, inside of the cafe, outside on the terrace, and inside of the attached leasing office. There were a number of tables, booths and even comfy couches to lounge on. Electrical outlets weren't plentiful, but I eventually snagged a booth that had a plug. Yay! There seemed to only be one menu at the front and it said 'please don't take', lol. So I stayed very close to the register as I read the menu, but I'm hoping they just ran out or my 4-eyed self missed the larger menu on display. I decided to go with the sugar graham hot latte w/ oatmilk and one of their pastries. The employee behind the counter was really patient and so kind to every customer, he was running that counter like the navy. 5-stars for him! I see why this place is such a hit among other Yelpers. I'll be back to enjoy the great coffee and good vibes!

She was so friendly and also gave great suggestions from their menu. She was the only person working because we came in the middle of the day. There were a decent amount of customers but the service was quick and efficient. I have to give her her flowers, she was the icing on top of a great experience. This has got to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing coffee shops I have ever seen. In addition to the gorgeous midcentury modern decor, there is a ton of seating available. I believe the coffee shop is attached to the apartment building, so the theme runs between both large seating areas. It was so cool! My matcha was delicious! I ended up going with the Morning Matcha (Lavender and White Chocolate, I added oat milk) and it did not disappoint! The prices were on par with other coffeehouses in the midtown ATL area. I did not have a chance to try the pastries but hopefully next time! Overall, this was a great experience! I look forward to visiting soon. Parking can be difficult in midtown so be mindful of that when visiting. Definitely a great place to study and get some work done if needed. Happy Eating!!

When I look for a coffee shop to newly get addicted to, environment is very important to me. So the concept of this place -- Store where there is quality coffee in the corner. It would be amazing to have the opposite -- an amazing coffee shop with quality things to buy. Until that happens, I'll appreciate this though. They focus on New Orleans/Louisiana style drinks for their signatures, but they have all the lattees and fancy macciatos available for the coffee snobs like me. I enjoyed their New Orleans style coffee and it was a good blend of spices yet not too strong. My cousin got a cappaccino which had pretty coffee art. This isn't the place to go if you're on a type of diet needing to alter ingredients to make it fit. Just throwing that out there. Their New Orleans style coffee comes pre-made. They have other options, but don't try to get their signature items. Note, they do have seating. Like one table and some bar stools, but that counts right? I don't believe it was near an outlet to do some work, but it wasn't too busy. I would ask a study group to meet me here, but it would be risky since there is not a lot of options if another group is already there.

We got our boba teas, a tiramisu, strawberry cream cakes to satisfy the sweet tooth(s), but I was so excited to see a chicken korean BBQ sandwich that I had to get one! OH-EM-GEE!! I will be back to the sandwich alone!! It didn't take too long for the hot sandwich despite it being nearly closing time on a Saturday. The staff was helpful, friendly, and very accommodating. The diner itself isn't fancy, and the tables could use some consistent cleaning and clearing. You get plastic tableware and napkins on your own. But it was warm in a cold evening and had plenty of places to sit in the evening. I can imagine it gets pretty packed for lunch. Not sure.
