Lucy's Cafe - Grand Rapids

Visited on Sunday at 8:45 and many seats available. Many options to choose from, but I went with the vegan skill part was in place for price $12, had to take half home. So tasteful and not bland really delicious.

This café was really busy on Sunday at noon, but waiting was not bad and made better by the availability of an adjacent coffee shop. The menu has a variety of creative meat and dairy products, but very few and less fantasizing vegan options. Vegetarians should just do well, vegans not so much. The Tofu-Kramble was very delicious and well seasoned, but the vegan breakfast sausage made in the house was unusable. It was basically black beans shaped into a cake that both sour and spicy, while a very muddy texture. From the two vegan toast options (gluten-free or acidic dough), the acidic dough was tasty, but served with the teeniest imaginable dolls of Marmelade - no vegan butter available. I'd go back with enthusiastic Allnis who wanted to, but no other way.

Last Saturday we had a really good brunch. Many good vegetarian choices, and the coffee was excellent. The outdoor terrace looked nice, but it was too hot to sit outside! Note that they make their own veg sausages and burgers in the house. The decor is beautiful, service was great. And I have to admit that we finished our meal with some ice from the soft-serve shop next door.

I was there for the first time on New Year's Day. The atmosphere is great. The food is amazing!!! Monte Cristo, served on her homemade challah, is the best I've ever eaten. I bought a scones the next morning. It was still fresh and full of taste. I recommend this place! I'm back.

I had never heard of this restaurant before, but I was looking for a place to take my fiancée for a lunch date. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had on-site parking available. Although many of the parking spots were full, a few cars left as I was searching for a spot, so it wasn't as difficult as finding a place to eat in downtown. The restaurant itself had a minimalist, yet cute decor. The layout was unique, but it worked well. I had called ahead to make a reservation for a table for two, but there were plenty of available spots when we arrived, so we seated ourselves. The food was decent compared to other lunch spots in the area. The flavors were really enjoyable. I would definitely come back and recommend this place if you're looking for a good spot for lunch.
