I love this. My brother just moved down here for school and this is the perfect little place to get breakfast every morning. I kid you not, the sandwiches in those pictures cost five bucks and only took the lady at the front five minutes to make. Shes super nice and we got amazing service. Not to mention the little cafe is very beautiful and rustic. Its also got good music playing and is well air conditioned. Bravo!

Was looking for a local coffee spot nearby Westin Hotel (on a Saturday) and this showed up on google maps. Decided to give it a try and it was definitely worth it. One of the things that caught my eye was breakfast. Coffee was fresh and strong. Breakfast was also good and fresh. They even checked on us to see how the breakfast was. Would definitely come back during my next visit and highly recommend.

Was shortstaffed today so the wait was pretty long, but if im rating just on the taste, pretty good stuff. I got a sandwich and a iced Bahama Latte. They were both pretty good and its a small cute place. Definitely a place I would frequent if I lived here.

Amazing coffee, having only one person servicing thru brunch was a little bit harsh on her but the service was great, BLT sandwich was amazing (The mayo tasted aso flavorful) & would recommend the black forest latte & earl grey lavander latte tea

Quaint little café with very good coffee and very good tea. The coffee and tea were hot, and they offered various creams and sweetners. Excellent customer and a very clean place.

One of the best low key coffee shops in the city. Quiet, hardly ever crowded. Just perfect city shop

This place is rlly great! My only like, complaint is that the website says lunch is served all day every day, but when we came in on a Wednesday I believe, but when I asked they said it wasnt until 3pm? It isnt listed anywhere in the coffee shop, so I was a little disappointed because I was excited to try their soups! The coffee was super great tho and Ive gone there multiple times and the people working behind the counter were super sweet and asked us about our milk preferences too. Its just a super cute shop in general!! Will be going back probably every week, because its so convenient!

This is a really great spot to grab some coffee. The cafe has a nice cozy feel to it. I really liked the honey bee iced latte.

Review №12

All the coffee places I’ve been to claim to have a flavor but don’t really taste close to what they claim. I tried the Black Forest drip coffee and it was so good, I am going to recommend that to everyone. Their breakfast was great and so were their pastries. A must try for everyone.

One barrister doing it all. Took forever to get served. To be fair, I am not sure if this situation represented the norm, but it wasnt a great first impression.

This is the best Coffee in downtown Atlanta. The coffee is perfect blend, it also has tea and sandwiches. There is outdoor seating and the coffee shop is located in a historic building. The barista was very friendly, they have coffee beans for sale too

Small clean Cafe, staff is very friendly and warm. Ordered turkey pesto sandwich and iced coffee for lunch. Sandwich was great! Order came out very quickly. Iced coffee is a great way to escape the Atlanta Heat.

Really friendly coffee shop tucked away in downtown. The building it lives in is beautiful and their turkey pesto sandwich was a perfect little snack. Great place to read a book, work on some notes (wifi was good and not too loud).

My crew and I went to Café Lucia every morning of our business trip to Atlanta. I ordered my standard cafe au lait, and it was great each time! They also make great fresh breakfast sandwiches.

Al
Review №21

So why 3*Because there of two things.Although the service was good, the coffee was average z not enough selection of pastry, the croissant was good, but eggs oversalted, and beside cheese no vegees were offered.

Review №22

Cute/hip little coffee shop with the friendliest barista. My group ordered an espresso (really good), decaf espresso, caramel macchiato (good, but really sweet), and white harvest latte (good, but also super sweet). They also sell mini muffins/cinnamon rolls that were yummy, and a huge cinnamon roll that was also good.

A hidden gem tucked away in the heart of the Fairlie Poplar district of downtown. The coffee and iced tea are excellent as expected, but perhaps less expected was how delectable the turkey pesto sandwich I devoured was.

Such a nice little cafe off the main path. I went out to explore Midtown Saturday morning and happened upon this place for a late breakfast. Very nice set-up for indoor and outdoor seating. Loved the vibe and would highly recommend for those looking to get together with friends or a small business meeting over coffee.

Great place to come and do work. Classical music always playing and great food/drinks. Dont come at lunch rush though if you want to sit and work, to crowed. After 1 is usually good.

Review №44

I wouldnt probably go out of my way to go here if I didnt live in the neighborhood, but if you do it fills the niche of neighborhood coffee shop pretty well. Theyve got some fancy coffee drinks and avocado toast, but the drinks are relatively unpretentious for SF and the avocado toast is enormous and actually pretty good value for money. I usually get the Richmond Chill - kind of Vietnamese coffee inspired - but they have normal coffee too. Students study here on their laptops, but I see people of all ages hanging out here or catching up with friends, and there is almost always enough room to sit. Theyve always got some cool art by local artists on the wall, a lot of it for only about $30 or so.

Fantastic coffee. 1st place for me in the South with the European taste of espresso.

Review №46

Literally my favorite cafe due to the wide variety of strange, exotic types of brews. The funny white man who owns the place is very down to earth, loving, and has a great and positive attitude. He creates a staff that is well aware of the coffees of the world. This is the only place to go if you really want a Vietnamese coffee, or even an Ethiopian.I worked at Starbucks, and this cafe really has it down pact.

Café Lucia is a really cute coffee shop in the heart of Atlanta. The coffee is great, however, the man who took our order seemed less than pleased to make our acquaintance. Nice place to sit down with a laptop or some friends and enjoy a steamy cup of joe.

Review №53

Avoid - if you know what good coffee is and also want a quick bite to eat, then there are other options in the area. The coffee was bitter and the coffee beans clearly burnt when roasted. The food options were limited especially if you have any dietary restrictions. I tried this shop when it first opened and then this month- both times just threw the coffee away after the first sip. I will not be back.

Review №56

Very kind staff, a latte menu with really delicious flavors not found in most coffee shops, and above average cafe food. Two thumbs up.Today my wife and I enjoyed (1) iced mocha latte w/ hazelnut, (1) iced peanut butter cup latte, (1) turkey blt, and (1) croissant w/ bacon egg and cheese.The blt has this awesome BBQ mayo that help brings a good flavor to a normally bland sandwich, and the croissant was very fresh.Bring a cup with you, get a discount.

First time here was fantastic. The crew working was super friendly and personable, which made the experience great. The coffee was really good as well, I was surprised! Most places make there cappuccinos too strong but this place got it just perfect if you like the taste of coffee mixed with sweetness! Definitely would go there again

Review №58

Their soups and sandwiches are underrated. The venue has potential but is not very good. Their coffee is ok. I dont know if they use their drip coffee as a base to lattes and stuff but if they do, they will also be good.

I love this little spot. It offers a wide variety of coffees, lattes, smoothies and socially drinks. They have a small menu but everything is cooked to order and its delicious! Their drip cold brew is the best cold brew Ive ever had. Ever. Unfortunately the name evades me right now. I will highly suggest this place if youre walking downtown! And sign up for their five-star thing. They often give you really nice deals.

Review №61

The service was amazing. The people who worked went out of their way to help me decide what I may like. They introduced me to different deals, and they were really friendly and open. The drinks here tasted great, and the price is within a reasonable range. The cafe is not large, but it is cozy and has seats outside as well.

Review №64

Nice little place for small bites and a quick coffee. Had the cappuccino and its not good. No flavor, just tastes burnt. So either the expresso machine is not good or dirty or the coffee bean used is just poor quality. Anyways, coffee lovers,this is not for you.

Decided to seek out a little local place while in town, rather than yet another Starbucks. Little hole in the wall with THE friendliest people. So so glad we took the walk to find it. The cold brew coffee is fuel for life!

Cafe Lucia, my favorite place for lattes and teas. Dont sleep on the mini-treats, totally awesome taste especially the lemon flavor. I might add excellent customer service and a cozy little spot. Joanie is my favorite barista, she is friendly, informative and provides great customer service.

Probably one of the best almond milk lattes I’ve ever had!!! Was visiting Atlanta for the weekend and for sure a stop by if you love coffee shops as much as I do! Cute vibe, nice service, free WiFi and outlets to plug into! So happy with this quick stop before I drive home from Atlanta:)

Review №76

Food and cappuccino were excellent. However I chose the his place as I was under the impression it was a welcoming place to sit and do some work. Outlets where you plug in your chargers are filthy and I’m not a fan of the layout...seems like everyone is hovering over your table as people wait in line for their order.

BEST cafe ever. Everything about this place is great - family-owned, amazing and diverse selections coffee and tea, food is always so fresh, staff is awesome, great rewards programs with deals, I love seeing them grow and expand. I hope they open some places in Gwinnett and Sandy Springs!!

This is my second time here. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. The owner was cracking jokes and checking on the customers, which I loved. I ordered a strawberry shortcake on ice and a breakfast sandwich with turkey and pepper jack. Soooo good! And the iced coffee? I finished it by the time i reached my destination.

I love this place! The customer service is awesome! If you are a coffee drinker then this is the place to be. The coffee is made from organic beans. They make the best lattes that put other coffee shops to shame. Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious and made to order. I have never had their lunch items. I visit this place twice a week, every week!

Cute little place. Google led us through the front of the building instead of into the shop from directly off the street. That was a little confusing because we didn’t see a sign for the shop until we had walked a ways into the building. Really good coffee though!

Review №88

Small awesome neighborhood cafe & coffee/tea spot. Super friendly staff & the cafe is always clean. Food is basic cafe fare but always made fresh is way better than the re-heated stuff you find at Bux or Peets. Lets be clean on a few thing - this is a small neighborhood spot located in a somewhat busy part of SF (a block from GG Park / Museum & Academy of Science) and it gets busy, especially on the weekends, so be prepared. That said, even when its busy I have never waited too long for my drink or food. Also, everything around here is street parking so if you are driving be mindful that you may not find a spot right out front. If you are in the neighborhood or at GG park for the day, this is defiantly the spot to come grab your coffee or tea drink.

It was my first time going. I was tired of Starbucks and wanted something different. The chai latte here in my opinion is so much better than Starbucks. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is nice and chill. I love the fact its in an older building. It really adds to the mood of the place. I will be coming back!

Review №98

Fabulous food, fabulous service, I would give you a 5 star except that I am a neighbor and go there all of the time. Today, of the 13 people inside they had neither drink nor food from the establishment at that time. People get on the computers and occupy the seats for hours and there is no more room inside for customers with new orders . The staff does not say anything to the people occupying the seats for hours and new customers have to stand, get it to go or grab a seat if you wait an hour or so. I also noticed people there eating food from other restaurants not from Cafe Lucia. When I mentioned this to the waitress she said it is ok our manager is very laid back about this. Outside you cannot sit either because people on the go use it to smoke. How can you keep new customers with this disregard for seating and customary consideration ??? I felt ostracized, is this a way to run a business?? Let me know before I return. Thank you, Tired of standing!!
