Check this place out for brunch. Large parking lot, large dining area, huge, wraparound porch with evening lighting. (Want to come back and see what it's like at night.) We were greeted right away by the friendly staff and seated at a high top booth. (One side had a foot rest the other did not, appeared to be broken off.) the food came out quickly, and was very tasty. I had the croissant breakfast sandwich with grits, just the perfect amount of food. (don't get the croissant toasted, it was a little hard.) The cook on the eggs Benedict was perfect amount of runny. The fruit option as a side is typically dull, So order something else. No hard liquor, so bloody Mary's are wine based. We won't order that next time. No amount of hot sauce can change wine and vodka. All in all, I highly recommend a visit for Sunday brunch at least. Only four stars because the signage is so worn out we thought the place was closed. read more

Great food amazing staff always on point. The best place to take the family for brunch. My favorite dishes include the San Fransisco Burger, steak & eggs, or fettuccine Alfredo with blackened chicken. read more

We loved that we had no wait and the menu had lots of options. But... food came out cold and the service wasn't the best.

Great service!!! Food was really good to boot. Pecan French toast was awesome. Breakfast potatoes were delicious and tender. Family owned, totally needed in our area. #smallbusinessSaturdaybrunch read more

First time eating here yesterday and everything was great! I had the pot roast sandwich with fries and finished it all ! My family and I will definitely be back! Thank you guys again read more

Food service and staff are excellent ! A sweet jewel off the beaten path. They have never failed to impress!

Great food great service. I had the San Francisco Burger and it was amazing. The Service was great: attentive

Service was good and food was too. Went for breakfast. Had pancakes , eggs and bacon .

AMAZING. The owners are nice. Food is so good I can keep eating their food over and over again!

Not sure why this place has not been discovered however no wait, great service, friendly staff and yummy breakfast.

If you are a foodie who loves a good meal and/or a good experience, this is not the spot for you. This is one of those spots for locals who don't have a ton of options and like consistency. It's essentially your basic diner. My husband and I came here for breakfast be Sunday morning. We just bought a home in Lawrenceville and were wanting to try the restaurants around us. We were very disappointed with our experience here. The food was sooooooooo mediocre and that's honestly an overstatement. The biscuit was super thick and DRY!!! My goodness no amount of butter or jam could fix it. It didn't taste fresh. NOTHING tasted fresh. The bacon was definitely pre-cooked and sitting in a food warmer. It was barley warm when it came out. The food lacked flavor and we had to use a ton of salt and pepper to make it taste edible. The grits were oily and watery at the same time...how? The egg white omelet was very wet (like watery). The potatoes were decent but needed salt. The chili omelet was probably the best thing we ordered. The Hawaiian French toast were the biggest disappointment. It was dry, tasted stale, and was made using canned pineapple and what tasted like artificial pineapple flavor. If you live near by and just need food to hold you over once in a while.....sure come here. But I don't recommend wasting your time or money! read more

The food was mediocre at best. The best thing about this place was my server. Based on the food alone, I would have given only one star. However, my server was very attentive and kind. She saved the day for this rating. read more

We stopped by this spot for Sunday's brunch, nice little place. We were seated on the patio and unfortunately, there was a man with a dog that licked my dates hand (dogs shouldn't be allowed to run rapid). We order french toast, I ordered the Hawaii which came with fruit and he ordered a French toast that looked and tasted way to much like pecan cake. The grits were perfect and I loved the eggs. Maybe next time we will try dinner. read more

THE 5 SPOT CAFÉ was a delightfully unexpected surprise! Their menu is one in which I get confused because so many things sound soooo great! One of my new favorite loves is the Impossible Burger and wouldn't you know it, they had it on the menu! However, I wanted to go for the grilled shrimp strawberry fields salad, so my wife decided to get the impossible burger on a gluten-free bun and my world was complete! ... Then I had second thoughts, because ANYTIME Chicken Cordon Bleu is on the menu, it's going in my belly. But to stick with my current diet plan I decided that cordon bleu will be my celebration meal once I've reached my weight loss goals and the San Francisco burger will be my victory lap for another day! But wait, there was also a great selection of omelets because they sell their ENTIRE MENU all day, so I was having third and fourth thoughts!!! And if those choices weren't painfully difficult enough, they also offer a steak or salmon salad, a delicious looking Ruben, Chicken Parmesan, Lobster Mac n' Cheese, Molten Turtle Cake, Banana Foster Cheesecake and a Warm Oreo Churro w/vanilla ice cream!!! SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH!!!! ... But to the deep pride of my wife, I stuck to my guns and ordered (and happily consumed) my grilled Strawberry Fields salad! And let me tell you it was actually very good... no carnivorous regrets whatsoever! Even if you don't like the bitterness of blue cheese, the sweet raspberry vinaigrette more than makes up for the bitterness. I almost forgot the blue cheese was on there! I shared some of my salad and she shared some of her burger! She also got a side of gluten-free pancakes that practically tasted like normal pancakes! My wife thought the impossible burger was just but I actually thought it was delicious! I do wish they would use a thicker patty for the money though. You get charged an extra$3 for the privilege of an impossible burger party, which seems to be thinner than their regular burger. I like it better when the impossible patty is a little thicker. The fries that came with the burger were great and so was the service. THANK YOU RACHEL for being awesome! Our friend ordered the French Dip and seemed to really enjoy it. ... FINAL THOUGHTS I loved this place when it was once known as Sophia's Valentino and still love it now that it is The 5 Spot Café. They are doing an excellent job here and are worthy of a visit or three! If my next visit goes as well as this one, they will surely earn 5 stars from me. 2019/112 read more

As I do love eating breakfast at this place, it seems like it's fading a little. Don't get me wrong, I love the food but the pancakes are becoming rubbery it appears. This is after 2 visits this year in the past month. However, I haven't tried anything else on the menu as I love the breakfast. There are plenty of things I would love to try but I always love the pancakes, sausage, and eggs/omelette. I'm not sure what the cook is doing differently from what I'm used to when I first walked into that establishment, but something has changed. It used to be nice buttermilk pancakes at that time, now I catch a little hell cutting and chewing them now. Again, I ate there twice after my initial visits this year before I updated my review. It just doesn't taste the same now. Hopefully the owner will read my review and make the changes that needs to be made. I think maybe the owner may have to try them out with a taste test to understand what I'm speaking of. Will I go back?? Most definitely! It's like being a crackhead, you get that first high of your life that you've never had before, yet you go back constantly to get it while believing you can achieve it but never get it again!! I'm not that bad for pancakes, as I have other places I frequent. That was only an example with a little laugh added in. :-) read more

Ordered delivery. Everything was well packaged and hot! Please please treat yourself with the creamy chicken and rice soup! Delicious! I can't wait to try more from this great place! read more

I love the 5 Spot Cafe! I've been eating here for several years and the staff and food are always amazing. I love the feel of the inside because it makes you forget you're surrounded by industrial parks in the middle of lawrenceville. And always ask about the specials because I've never had one that wasn't delicious. read more

I diamond in the ruff. Hubby and I came for breakfast and the 5 spot Cafe and they did not disappoint. The Hawaiian French toast is superb. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing. The wait staff are top notch. Very clean and family friendly atmosphere! 10 out of 10. read more

I went here based on the reviews and also the close proximity to where I was staying. As most others have noted, this is not in a place you would expect. Its near the Gwinnett airport, jail, and just off highway 316. The establishment is very modern inside. Open floor plan, modern payment devices, and a nice chic decor. The food is described perfectly. Honestly, the items we had were fairly simple, exactly what we wanted, and the right sized portion. We enjoyed the food and were neither stuffed nor wanting more. The service was great! exactly what I appreciate. Frequent enough for things you need/request and also proper intervals to eat and talk. Overall a great experience! I shall return! read more

Great food, great service, cute place. We went after a soccer game and had a big party. They were able to get us in right away. The food was delicious. We did a mix of breakfast and lunch. The bison chili and Mexican grilled cheese was a winner! read more

The bacon wrapped plantains are delicious and the meat loaf is pretty good too. Service is kind of slow but other than that, not too bad. I definitely recommend the bacon wrapped plantains. read more

I really enjoy this hidden gem of a place. I had always seen their palace and never tried it but it really pulled through. I had the Hawaiian French toast and my sister had the breakfast burrito Whatchu was a really good sized burrito. The French toast was really good and she said her burrito was amazing. Hoping to come back for lunch or dinner. I'm just confused how they serve dinner when they close at three. Overall a really good experience! read more

We found this place after leaving a sports tournament in the area. Our server (Stephanie I believe) recommended the cinnamon, pecan French toast & veggie egg white omelet which I added bacon to. They were both fantastic! Service was quick in spite of it being a crowded Sunday. We'll remember this place in case we go back that way. read more

First time here, food was delicious, servings were small though. Service was great. Place was steady busy, seating allowed for great conversations. Would like to go back when patio is open. read more

The location may seem odd, but this gem is worth finding. My wife and I stumbled upon The 5 Spot a couple of years ago looking for breakfast. We were not disappointed. Well prepared food with good variety. My wife loved the Hawaiian French toast while I've enjoyed and excellent Monterey omelet as well as the Eggs Benedict on another trip here. The last couple of times we've been there the place has been crowded, but the wait was short. Service was quick, coffee well worth a 3rd cup and a very pleasant staff made our experience delightful. Give them a try. read more

Rolled up wasn't busy landscaping needed love wasn't sure then made our choices. Super fast serious deliciousness came out !!! Hot Mean meatloaf little different than I make but amazing !!! Taters delicious. My hubby had country fried steak mashed potatoes ( they have skins on ) I love but he's picky. He loved them and could not brag enough about the ciabatta bread. Over all amazing we will be back for another quick GREAT dinner. We had only came for breakfast. That was a SCORE! read more

My my my!!! This place is what you call a hidden gem! Randomly yelped a place to which to treat my Mom and this was excellent. So why the drop in star??? Well it was a Thursday morning and I was trying to get to work. The service was very pleasant, fun but extremely SLOW!!! There was only one waitress and there were about 6 tables seat with about 14-16 people present. So way too much for her to handle. However, she did an excellent job. I don't think the pics will do it justice but I'll attach it anyway! You just have to try this spot. The eggs were moist yet fully cooked, the French toast was out of this world and the sausage???? No words! Thanks for delighting my palate! As a chef myself it's often hard to be satisfied with meals I don't prepare but y'all did it! ;) Oh and I loved the presentation too! read more

Service is solid, waitress was awesome and funny. The place is comfy and looked clean. The French toast were good, but the eggs Benedict were just ok, I think the hollandaise sauce was missing a dash of tlc. I would come back again and try other food. read more

Visited today while passing through the area. Found this spot hiding in the cut. Ordered breakfast and it was cooked to order and came to the table pretty fast. Restaurant was not crowded at all and the few oatrons there were appropriately spaced out with seating. Meal was tasty and even came with the option with fresh fruit as a side. The plate presentation was just right, almost too pretty to pretty to eat. Establishment was clean and so were the restrooms. We had the nicest pregnant waitress. I cannot remember her name but She was very pleasant and has a husband serving in the Marines. Good Luck On Your Upcoming Bundle Of Joy. read more

Great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Practically have eaten everything on the menu at least once!

Stopped in for lunch on a gray Saturday afternoon. Was met warmly by staff dressed up for Santa. Had two hardy helping of French Dip and a Mushroom Burger. Both were generous portions, really good and hit the spot. Burger was cooked to medium, big and juicy. French Dip was full of shaved roast beef with a delicious Au Jus. Husband ate it all! read more

I ordered via a delivery app during COVID times. I ordered a country fried steak biscuit to satisfy a sudden craving. The biscuit came a bit soggy and the sandwich was all messed up, but I give benefit of the doubt and expect that it was during the delivery process that things might have gone wrong. I thought the biscuit was good! But I wasn't a huge fan of the gravy, which seemed to lack a lot of depth to the flavor. Would love to try again after COVID in restaurant though - the rest of the menu looks like a solid brunch option! read more

Tried this place a couple of years ago and found it to be average quality, but overpriced. Gave it a second chance today and sadly, nothing has changed. Got a chili burger but needed a magnifying glass to find the chili. Superior burger quality at Steak&Shake or even Sonic. Also felt like I was being rushed to finish, even though the place was half empty. I've learned my lesson with this spot. read more

This place is new and definitely up and coming. Located on the outskirts of Lawrenceville with the beauty of the countryside in its backyard. We were seated right away and greeted by the owner. He brought us out a taste of the signature ciabatta bread to start, which comes from one of the local bakeries and it's DELISH! We ordered the meatloaf ciabatta with home fries and the breakfast burrito (with pot roast...yum!) and a mimosa with Rose'. The mimosa was a great size for only $5 and had me feeling nice by the end of brunch! The meatloaf is a must try, seasoned well with red onions. The breakfast burrito was good, just needed more chipotle sauce or some type of gravy would've enhanced it. The homemade home fries were great as well. Will return again for something new. Glad to have stumbled upon this little gem! read more

Omg- so we use to come here ALL THE TIME! I remember when the owner made the tables & we would sit & talk with him... we've tried different wing flavors he was trying out & everything! I mean it was great! We moved out of the area & haven't been in yrs... So I was excited when we came today, then I realized the customer service was terrible, our waitress was good, however, the lady Kayla who brung our food out was terrible! I don't even understand why she felt the need to yell REPEATEDLY what she had, she didn't even give us a chance to figure out what was what. & it wasn't busy at all so it's not like she was over worked or anything. Things like that totally throws off my vibe & turned me off. Maybe we will try again because the food was still good... but customer service is everything to me & this just wasn't it... I'm upset our old waitress was leaving out because she WAS GREAT & she has been here forever!! read more

This place is DELICIOUS! Ask for Melisa she's fabulous and knows the food.....plus it gets better they have a health score of 100! Taste tested the soups had to get two to go lol....couldn't hold dessert so got it to go too! Items we tried this time were fried pickles for our app it satisfied all four of us, 1 had the award winning (true) California burger heavenly she said meat was unbelievably GOOD, 2nd had the chicken parm raved about how juicy the chicken was and the other two had the meatloaf sandwich on this AMAZING grilled ciabata bread with caramelized onions and hand cut fries SO good! We all ate too quick to take pics! . Give it a try promise you won't be disappointed! read more

I'll start off by saying that the environment was pretty nice. Plenty of room to move around and a nice layout. The service however was another story. To start, it took us 15 minutes to get our drinks. When we finally got drinks we did not see the waitress again for another 15 minutes to order. And when we eventually had the chance to order our meal, we waited 30 minutes only for our food to come out incorrectly. Once food finally arrived correctly, it was average at best, with the highlight being the presentation. I will say that staff accommodated for the wait and the mistake by taking one entree off the ticket, so I decided to give them a few more stars. read more
