7 Best Cafes in Lawrenceville

“The two times I have been to Northside Nutrition I have been in for a treat! The shake and tea combos are so delicious. The customer service both times has been amazing! Check them out, you won’t be disappointed!“

“I highly recommend this cafe! I met my family here today and everything was top notch including the food, atmosphere, cleanliness and staff. We will be back! Between us we ordered OMG brisket sandwich (delicious!), chicken salad platter, and the Cuban. Everything was tasty!“

“My sister and I went today. We enjoyed our time and the coffee was really good. Cinnamon is such a sweet and friendly cat ❤️ The other kitties were asleep. Very cute and relaxing place. Recommend!“

“Black-owned family business! Everything cooked to order, fresh ingredients, Halal meat, EVERYTHING fresh!!! I love the chicken and waffle, shrimp and grits. I was expecting regular frozen chicken tenders, BUT it wasn't. They buy Halal chicken breaststroke, cut themselves -- it was two large chicken steaks! Just delicious! I can eat here everyday!“

“We had their original chicken salad, which was quite tasty. It was served with a cute little pickle, and a sweetie little brownie bite. Very satisfying for a quick lunch or light dinner while out shopping at The Mill.

We tried their peach ice cream and were very disappointed. It was overpriced, small serving and had a very bland taste. To be honest, they were so busy that day that we didn't taste it first.“

“I visited this coffee shop recently after a long day of thrifting and exploring the antique store next door. I didn't realize they only accepted cash and didn't serve iced drinks. The owner, who was very kind, served me. Despite other reviews describing the place as "sketchy" and "unwelcoming," I had a great experience. The owner, originally from Bosnia, struggled with English but was incredibly generous, giving me a free coffee since I only had card.

This coffee shop stands out with its simplicity. There are no menus or overly complicated, syrupy coffees—just authentic, straightforward cappuccinos. As a former barista, I know many customers enjoy flavored milk, but there are also those who appreciate unique, small businesses like this one. I wish they could market themselves better to reach their full potential because they have great potential!!

Regarding the smoking signs and the "aroma" of cigars, I didn't notice any smell. Some customers were smoking outside, but it didn't bother me. The door was kept shut, preventing any smoke from entering the coffee shop. For those complaining about cigarette smells in their reviews, a reality check: people do smoke. If you’re highly sensitive to it, you might want to consider staying home.
