I made a stop here along my way to the quite new DMV location and remember I had quite a lovely experience from my last visit due to a Yelp event. I decided to get me a dirty chai latte with oat milk, that's a chai tea with a shot of espresso. The girl who made it for me was so friendly and showed great hospitality by addressing me with a smile, she even made my drink with a heart. It seems to be that the customer service is still outstanding here and we be a great option for visiting when in the area. They also have pastries and other items such as merch for purchase. Thumb up for me! Happy Yelping!

As soon as I walk back to coffee shop I'm asked "your coffee is cold, I figured it was". I'm then expecting a new coffee or return instead they warmed up my coffee! ‍ Never going to return, sorry. HORRIBLE

Whenever I'm in Harlem, I find my way to Lucille's. At this point, I barely look at the menu…read morebecause my order is set: the kale salad with grilled chicken, one guava waffle with guava rum butter, and a brown sugar latte. Yes, a kale salad and a guava waffle. Stay with me. The salad is fresh, savory, and hearty, especially with the grilled chicken. Then comes the waffle--warm, slightly sweet, and topped with guava rum butter that melts into every little pocket. Oh my goodness. Taking a bite of the savory chicken and kale, followed by that soft guava waffle, gives me the perfect sweet-and-savory meal. It should not work as beautifully as it does, but it absolutely does. And the brown sugar latte? Always. It's smooth, comforting, and sweet without tasting like someone poured syrup into a cup and called it coffee. The space has the easy, unhurried feeling of a neighborhood coffee shop, but the menu is giving a real brunch experience. It's cozy and beautifully lit during the day--the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy yourself without feeling rushed. The service matches that energy. Everyone is attentive, kind, and genuinely knows the menu. They always greet you with a smile and give you exactly the right amount of small talk: enough to make you feel welcomed, never so much that it interrupts your peace. The atmosphere, the people, and that guava rum butter keeps me coming back.

Make your own if you're not feeling theirs. It's worth it. Also writing this review because they are just quality people. I ordered a vegan pizza with some toppings but wanted pepperoni and that wasn't an option. I made a note asking if a substitution was possible, knowing it likely wasn't because of a price difference. I'm not vegan, but I needed a dairy-free alternative since I am breastfeeding a baby with a cow milk protein intolerance. The LOADED up my pizza. Truly stand-up humans. Thanks, Lucille's, if you're reading this: you made my night!

While I can't say the sandwiches are my favorite (I can't quite put my finger on it!), I would visit again because my matcha was incredible. I like the space and the ambiance.
