| - I'm in love. And, when you are in love, even the flaws just add to the perfection of a person (didn't you know that?). So, even though there are some small "imperfections", Luci's is a definite 5-star place. I LOVE THEM. I am seriously considering setting up a cot in the store... then I could wake up and have the most delicious coffee (mocha, always) and fabulous service without going to the effort of leaving my house. Hmm... think they'd let me?
Luci's has quickly become my most favorite neighborhood spot. It is obviously helpful that it is super-close to my house... but there are plenty of other coffee places within a reasonable distance and no one comes close. The entire concept is just genius - breakfast, lunch, dinner, bakery, cooking classes, cleaning products (all natural, of course), homeopathic remedies, locally sourced produce - my list could go on and on...
My most favorite thing about Luci's - their service. I can't even begin to describe how awesome their baristas and chefs are - everyone is so sociable and friendly. Who wouldn't like to come here? Not only are they good at making drinks and food - but they'll even recommend some good music for you to add to your itunes collection. Love it!
Of course, their food/drinks are pretty awesome too - I adore the mochas - Iced, hot, peppermint, whatever- it is always good. The pomegranate citrus iced tea is so refreshing. I think I might be addicted. Other top-notch items include muffins (blueberry and double chocolate-chip, especially), pasta bar, the Naughty Nurse and Dirty Doctor sandwich melts (and the names just make it more fun!), and the freakin' fabulous soup we had the other night... some kind of African spices? Lentils, beef... amazing stuff. We've also loved their burger, omelets, creme-brulee cupcake, etc. They always have a number of gluten-free options, and they are constantly adding new ones - THANK YOU!
The imperfections (still not phasing me - because I LOVE them) - wait time for meals can be pretty long, which isn't a big deal if I'm staying and chatting, but occasionally I'm just ordering food to take home and don't have enough time to wait and wait. Didn't love the peach-oatmeal muffin... meh. See? Minor issues. Nothing we can't get past, and still live happily ever after.
