    Strawberry matcha and salted caramel lattes
    Eowyn K.

    *Review for coffee only Necessary Purveyor is on the block outside of Ponce City Market. We stopped in for coffee after the market. I had a matcha latte with strawberry, and my friend had a salted caramel latte. Hers may have been the best salted caramel I've had. Mine was also very good. That said, they are very pricy, for the same standard size. The cafe is nice and airy, with lots of windows, upscale casual. The service was friendly, drinks were prompt, though I note it was not very busy during the last afternoon.

    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.

    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!

    Definitely one of those cute breakfast restaurants you go to for the picture or vibe. Since this is very common in Miami where I'm from, it wasn't anything out of this world for me. Felt like your typical semi-overpriced cafe. The egg biscuit was pretty good though!

    strawberry matcha
    Allen W.

    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.

    The main ATTRACTION!! chicken caesar wrap
    Nina J.

    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

    Pancakes
    Carlie M.

    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!

    Philly Cheesesteak
    John H.

    Came here when visiting the Old Fourth Ward area of downtown Atlanta. So glad this place was recommended! This is counter service and you order when you walk in, grab a number and your food is delivered by a SUPER friendly staff member. There is a cooler where there are some quick grab and drink options. We ordered the steak sandwich, the Philly cheesesteak and a BLT. ALL were excellent!! Each sandwich was served on ciabatta style bread which sometimes can be a little hard and crusty. These were not! Soft and delicious. These sandwiches were stuffed and I have to say my favorites were the BLT and the Philly. Thank goodness we are a sharing family! Plenty for now and definitely needed boxes for later. Fantastic meal! Served with pencil thin cut French Fries and a side of ketchup. The staff here are super friendly, and there was a slight mishap right next to us involving some broken dishes. The server who slipped could not have been nicer and apologetic. She checked back on us several times. The restaurant has super high ceilings and it was quite lively and busy in there. It was a bit loud, but the food and service well over shadowed any problem with the noise. We had a great time, a quick lunch and full bellies!! Great location in a super cool and trendy area right outside Ponce City Market! Get here for this BLT!!

    Chicken Cesar wrap
    Nitya C.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Cheesesteak
    Hannah S.

    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.

    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!

They're def on the smaller side but quite economical so grabbing multiple is easy. However the interaction with the staff and the handling of my order threw me completely off and unfortunately dampened the actual experience of the food. For someone who had ordered online and already paid, it took WAY too long for me to get food that was already prepared and sitting on the counter. I walked in and it was almost like no one wanted my money. One of the staff passed by me to go outside and ran into me but didn't address it at all. Not even a "whoops". The young man behind the bar was casually talking to another customer who was clearly on their way out. No problem, until it became a problem. I stood there for several minutes not knowing whether to interrupt their convo, and once I realized I wouldn't be addressed otherwise I decided to just butt in. I work in the service industry and truly could never imagine leaving a new customer hanging like that. Mind you, I wasn't even in a rush and was enjoying my rainy day... which should let you know how ridiculous this interaction was. To make matters worse, they literally just threw the sandwiches in a paper bag. I don't mind minimalist packaging. But this was just disrespectful lol. All the sandwiches were just mashed together and deformed and unsightly once unwrapped. Unfortunately I don't remember any of them because they just weren't memorable. The interaction in the restaurant didn't make it any better. I've seen comments that some of the young (mostly white) "hipster" staff can be oddly passive aggressive to certain clientele... usually I don't agree with those views but man that day really made me think they had a point. First and last time. No bueno.

I loved the caramelized jalepeno slices since they added it beautiful hint of spicy sweetness to the dish. The bread has a nice chew and it does not get soggy fast. - CONS: Not that special. I dont know why it's "korean" since it tasted like a normal cheesesteak but with a few jalapenos. I also wish they added in more jalapenos (I got like 3). 2) Garlic Fries with Ranch: - PROS: Very nice texture with a crispy outside and fluffy inside that is not too dense. The flavor comes from the garlic mince that is on top. The ranch is like a mixture of an aioli and tartar sauce (I think they make it in house, correct me if I'm wrong). - CONS: Inconsistent texture as some of the fries were dense but a few had that good hollow crisp bite. Quite oily too. Overall, I enjoyed the cheesesteak but would probably skip the fries next time. I do believe it is good especially the bread. I don't think it is worth all the hype it gets, but it is good.

So this is a Mediterranean grill inside of Ponce City Market. When you get to Ponce City Market you have plenty of parking options but all of them are going to be paid.

I was walking around just trying to see things that I haven't done before as far as restaurants and I ended up here and it was not a bad choice. The people at the front were pretty cool and were very friendly so that was a positive plus. The food that I had was good and I would consider trying something else from there. Koobidch sandwich (with fries) - so the sandwich itself came on a piece of bread that was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The beef inside the sandwich had a sauce over it that was pretty good and savory. Now I just want to say that it did have a sauce that came with it but I don't know if it was for my sandwich. But whatever sauce that was was pretty darn good. It fit on the fries and helped the sandwich along as well. I would get the sandwich again but there are a couple of other ones there that I would try first. The French fries are really good. They came with a sack of fries and they were very well seasoned and super crispy. Overall it does have my intention to try it again at some point in time, even though there are a lot of restaurants to make it through, but it was a good experience.
