Café Lucia is a true hidden gem with charm, strong coffee, and a little old-school class. The espresso is bold and smooth, and the breakfast options are satisfying and simple. There’s a beautiful adjacent foyer with vaulted ceilings that gives it a unique feel. The staff are friendly, patient, and happy to walk you through the menu. It’s quiet, which makes it perfect for a slow morning or relaxed conversation. Their specialty drinks are well-crafted and not overly sweet. Located in a historic building, the setting feels peaceful and removed from the usual downtown bustle. It’s a great escape from the city noise. Café Lucia is classy, cozy, and full of character.
