Was told about Lucille's Coffee and Cocktails by a friend, as she insisted upon it as a meetup spot. Immediately a cool vibe, we met on a Saturday, early afternoon. The weather was nice, so the doors and windows were open.. letting the sun and fresh air in. It's a dog and family friendly spot, as you saw a little bit of everyone slide through there with ease; just happy to be in the space. As for the menu, it was cool. It presented nice coffee and tea options as well as cocktails and brews. Not too overwhelming and a good selection to choose from. I enjoyed a Tumeric Ginger Tea and my girlfriend, wine. We also ordered the Kale Caesar with Shrimp and Truffle Fries. All the food was good - and the portions respectable. We stayed a bit after our meal, chatted, enjoyed the ambiance and the Wifi - as it's also a great place to whip out your laptop and get some things done. Overall, if I'm in the area, I'd definitely consider stopping in again. Oh and before I forget - they have a 'companion' location 2 doors down that sells some of the best pizza I've ever seen. So you can order from there.. then it will get delivered to your table in the cafe (if I'm not mistaken). The pizza looked amazing, and when I'm on that end of town again, I'd definitely love to check them out and enjoy a...
Read moreThis is one of the very few establishments that genuinely made me run to leave a review because, as a first time customer, I’ve seen this restaurant on Instagram and such, but you see these places and “plan” to go, but I couldn’t be more stoked that my night led me to Lucille’s tonight because from hearing the music and seeing such a lively crowd vibing outside before even dining from a block away?? I was sold!! The gentleman at the front door, Isiah, greeted us so kindly being that there was a wait but allowed us to go grab drinks at the bar, and sat us the MOMENT a table opened and was cleaned off. He directed me to Elizabeth who was so kind and attentive all night, and with so many people in the cafe, my experience felt beyond personalized and I was well taken care of. I had a Rose Sangria and it was 10/10, along with the chicken nugz, the power greens salad and and meatball and burata pizza pie. Will definitely be coming back with all of my friends and family for such a comforting, and lovely, crowd! (P.S. the live jazz was absolutely amazing…the solos, the singing, and even the perfect amount of time in between to wind down) my new favorite...
Read moreI went to Lucille’s today and I was quite disappointed by everything. First, they don’t really service tables but they’ll accept a tip. We ordered our food and waited for over 40 minutes to finally cancel our order completely. The server was gracious enough to refund us our money without an apology nor an explanation except “we’re really busy.” Hmmmm it is Sunday brunch but I guess they were expecting it to be a slow morning? Well fix the situation - turn it around- at least give me a piece of toast and razzle/dazzle me with good customer service. Nope! My client is a food critic and Lucille’s scored a negative ZERO (or below). So, I will never go back to Lucille’s and I will tell others not to sacrifice their valuable time the way we did. We Left Lazy Lucy’s The Leader in Late Lunch Lousy Lounges only to go to Cafe Latte on Lenox and 118th. We were served a delicious lunch within 11minutes of our arrival (and they were busy too). Basically Lucille’s isn’t worth the WAIT ...
