Lumpkin Cafe

I’ll have to finish this later but I’ll start off by saying that the aromas, the ambience and the service have already convinced me I’m going to enjoy my meal.
…as, indeed I did. I had the grilled cheese with apple sandwich. In retrospect it wasn’t probably the best choice: I was just intrigued by the combination. It was a small sandwich, nicely grilled, with thinly sliced fresh apples sandwiched in with the cheese – slightly warned by the grilling process. It came with a simple but very fresh side salad. My wife had two crepes, one with a ratatouille filling and the other with kind of spinach pesto like filling. Ultimately I preferred these.
One warning here. Portions are fairly small so if you’re a big eater you’ll surely need to plan for desert. Of course if you eat light but always wish you had room for desert (me), this could be the perfect place for you.

I thought this quaint café was history like so many of the other great places in Athens. Lucky for me, I was wrong.
As a college student (a while ago), this was a favorite lunch destination when my mom came to visit.
Today, I enjoyed it with my own daughter. Fresh flavors, simple menu and a great outdoor patio.
My steak salad tasted exactly as I remembered. So delicious!

I got the LA salad. Very fresh and the Italian vinaigrette was good too. Fresh baked bread is delicious. Perfect place for a light and healthy lunch

Make a visit! They’ve been here 25 years, and their food shows it! Great orange iced tea, spinach crepes, salads, peach cake… I can’t rave enough!

This is a quaint little family owned (?) establishment right at Five Points. The menu selection mostly consists of sandwiches, soups, and salads since it is a café. The size portion is pretty decent with menu items running an average of $ 7 to $ 9.
I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I believe I got the steak sandwich with a side salad (included). The food was decent, nothing mouth watering. Sitting is limited and in close knit quarters (like everything else in Athens), but there is the option of outdoor seating.
There is a decent sized gravel lot right behind the restaurant so parking is not a big issue.
