The space is a comfortable small-to-medium setup with decent indoor seating and a few tables outside if you want to people-watch. I ordered the Jambalaya - NOLA-style mixed rice loaded with chicken, sausage, and shrimp. As a Nigerian, my standards for seasoned rice are naturally sky-high, but this was flawless. Everything was delicious, absolutely no notes. But the real cheat code here is Angie's Bread Pudding. I never leave this place without grabbing some to go. It's the undisputed star of the show and honestly one of the best desserts you'll find in Atlanta. Hands down a must-visit downtown spot.

The only reason I can't give them the full 5 stars is because they were out of bacon when I went. I ended up getting the egg, ham, and cheese croissant with potatoes, and it was SO good. The croissant had a slight sweetness to it that tasted like there may have been a little syrup added, and I loved it. The sweet and savory combination with the ham, egg, and cheese worked really well. The potatoes were good too, and between those and the croissant, the meal was surprisingly filling. I ate breakfast and stayed full for basically the rest of the day, which almost never happens for me. I would absolutely come back, especially if I can get my hands on the bacon next time!

The food is amazing and they have some creative bowls that I haven't found at other places. If I lived near the area I probably wouldn't mind the odd experiences but I do not so I mind. They always seem to be short on food, close early and today I drove 25 mins to get there at 4pm you couldn't come inside for whatever reason. There was no employee or sign explaining anything just lots of confused customers and people waiting in their cars who placed orders online. The food is worth trying but I won't go out of my way to go anymore

Line was a bit long, but we went during peak lunch hours and still only waited about 15-20 minutes. We got the Sweater Weather and Curry Up bowls and both were DELICIOUS.

The food is fresh, flavorful, and you leave feeling good after eating. The service is consistently on point and you can feel the strong leadership behind it. That kind of culture shows in every interaction. My life is fast paced and busy, and this is one place I never have to think twice about. I bring friends, use them for catering, and recommend it to everyone. Healthy, fun, and reliable. Highly recommend.

Most the kitchen staff were moving slowly and talking like they were just hanging out. Will consider revising if the place is better managed or they fire the bad staff they have.

"Zamn Zaddy!" is right!…read more It took me 2-days to consume the huge Classic Chicken Caesar "Sammich" but it was worth savoring EVERY delicious bite! Additionally, I purchased the Kale Caesar salad as I've been on a long hunt for an all-Kale Caesar salad. Thankfully, social media led me to try this place. The customer service was excellent. She was attentive, patient, and made me feel very welcomed (felt like a hug). This vendor is located inside of Politan Row at Colony Square, so the ambiance was lively but not too loud for a Sunday. Can't wait to return! I'll take more food pics next time...ya girl was hungry LOL!

You place your order at the register and when your food is ready they call your name out. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad sandwich, the bread pudding and my friend ordered the tuna melt . The food came out fresh and did not take a long time to be prepared. I enjoyed every bite of my sandwich. It was flavorful and the portion size was great. Essentially you can eat 1/2 of the sandwich and save the other half for a second meal. Now the bread pudding was a disappointment. It was dry and lacked flavor, I would not recommend. My friend enjoyed her tuna melt, the only feedback she had was that the press did not allow for the inside of the sandwich to be warm. She thought the entire sandwich would be warm. I will be back for the chicken Caesar salad sandwich for sure !!

The experience started the moment we walked in. We were greeted by Savannah, who honestly felt like…read morea gift from heaven. Our son only wanted French fries while our daughter had her heart set on pizza. Instead of telling us what couldn't be done, Savannah made it her mission to make sure our family could eat there. She went above and beyond to accommodate our son's preferences, and her kindness immediately put us at ease. It wasn't just good customer service--it was genuine care. Once we were seated, we met Max (not the owner!), who was our server. From the very beginning, his personality won us over. He was witty, funny, and had a way of making us feel like we were more than just another table. He matched our family's energy perfectly, and by the time we left, dinner had become one of the highlights of our day. It's rare to find a server who can make a meal that memorable, but Max absolutely did. And now for the food... the pizza was incredible. Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and the kind of cheese pull that's worthy of social media. Every bite was delicious. Between Savannah's exceptional hospitality, Max's outstanding service, and the amazing pizza, Max's turned what could have been a stressful dinner into one of the best parts of our trip. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in.

A great spot near the aquarium!…read more I got the cold noodles ($17) and seafood pancakes ($19). Both were excellent. The cold noodles made for a refreshing meal, especially during the Atlanta heat. The bowl came with a good amount of noodles that had a great chew along with a tasty chilled beef broth and a boiled egg. The seafood pancakes were also delicious. They came out hot with a crispy exterior and were filled with plenty of pieces of various seafoods. They were great on their own and dipped into the accompanying sauce. All of the banchan was tasty, though I wish there were more than 3 side dishes. At least the restaurant provided complimentary refills of the banchan. The service was also great. There's a button on the table if you need help from the staff, but the staff also came by several times of their own volition to check up on us. A little sad that they don't allow solo dining for the AYCE Korean BBQ, but that seems to be the standard at most places. Note - the restaurant adds an automatic 20% tip to your check. I was fine with this because I typically tip 20% anyway, and I thought the service earned a 20% tip.

The fast casual Korean restaurant was a flavorful, easy solution for lunch during our trip downtown. They have plenty of lunch options, and our group of three each enjoyed our meals.

Ramen, sushi, Korean BBQ, and more!! The shelves are full of some nostalgic Asian snacks and drinks you just don't find anywhere inside the perimeter. I was really excited to see bibimbap with a chicken option!! Now THAT is rare!! But I wanted to try the spicy Korean BBQ chicken more. I can't wait to come back to try the bimbimbap though. My BBQ came with kimchi & a noodle salad in the side, and it was amazing! The chicken wasn't what I expected--which I thought was more like bulgogi--but the grilled chicken is so good! And the spicy sauce wasn't terribly spicy but definitely tasty! Kimchi was crispy & full of nice flavor! Satisfying for sure! My daughter wanted a crispy spicy tuna roll, and they customized a plain roll upon request! I thought that was cool. And my son loved his beef ramen--slurping up a pile of well-made noodles & broth. It is an order-and-collect your food at the counter type of deli, but the cashier was nice and accommodating. We didn't have to wait very long at all.

With that said, this won't be the best salad you'll ever eat, but it is acceptable... they offer plenty of salad toppings and and the servings are sized well. Note that the soups are not good, so avoid these at all cost. The Tomato Basil soup was some of the worst I've ever had. Overall rating = 2.5 Salad rating = 3 Soup rating = 0

I didn't want a salad and I saw "panini" on the menu so I thought that would work out alright. I ordered the "Santa Fe." First off, they're pre-made sandwiches that sit there, drying out. And the panini "press" is barely that. The sandwich came out flat, stale and didn't have that toasted crust like you'd expect in a panini. The flavor was.....okay, but nothing I'd make a special trip to try again. And, I was expecting some kind of chips to go with it but, instead, got a limp, soggy pickle spear. Looked like the way to go was the salads. They looked bright, fresh and plentiful. Service was incredibly slow considering everything is pretty much right there, if not pre-made. With all of the other choices scattered around the food court, it'll be a while before I wait in line at this place again.

I don't doubt that Cafe Lucia was once a great place to catch a coffee break or quick…read morebreakfast/lunch. I'm in the area and it seems like this spot is really struggling. They've been desperately hiring the past few weeks and seem to be sucking at employee retention. You will probably run into a drugged out homeless person while patronizing this business. The inside is charming but in a grunge way. There's potential but it's just not hitting it these days. They didn't have any of their listed non-dairy milk options nor any bread except for naan (and no bread the second day I came). I've gone in often and they've run out of inventory with no timeline of replenishing. I was able to get a B.E.C. sandwich ONCE in the handful of times I've been here. It was decent and fairly priced, but unavailable the following visits I made. At some point I had to have a sandwich made with no bread because they were out. That was my last time there. Most of the baristas appear to hate working here or simply being on the planet lol. My last visit I was looped into an unwarranted political conversation when just trying to grab a coffee. I get that it's near a college campus so EVERYTHING is made unnecessarily political these days unfortunately, but maybe they should coach their folks to not engage unsuspecting customers in these conversations... literally just prioritize the JOB and the BUSINESS and the customer experience. I don't need or want a lecture on how unbearable you think our country is when I'm just trying to get a drink. It's a horrible business practice to assume ~anyone's~ social/political leaning and I hope we as a society can collectively move into a space where we stop normalizing this behavior. Hope they can pull it together because in theory it is a neighborhood asset. But currently? No bueno.
