Loaf & Kettle
Food 24, Decor 15, Service 17, Cost $11
Downtowners in search of something a little different for lunch head to this upscale hippie-type Eclectic spot in the Healy Building for fabulous soups (try their signature corn, crab and spinach chowder), inventive sandwiches and wonderful bread pudding; you order at the self-service counter and then grab a seat in the cozy lobby of the historic edifice (circa 1913).

Ria's Bluebird
Food 22, Decor 14, Service 17, Cost $12
Meat eaters and vegheads alike feel at home at this popular bohemian diner in Cabbagetown that offers fantastic all-day breakfast fare and scrumptious vegetarian options, served by a sassy, no-nonsense staff that’s brusque – in a good way; the cozy-hippie spot near historic Oakland Cemetery sports a cheery expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows that cast light on great people-watching and piercings and tattoo spotting, but be prepared to wait on weekends.

Flying Biscuit
Food 20, Decor 13, Service 17, Cost $16
Get up before the roosters crow to avoid the never-ending brunch lines at this determinedly funky duo in Candler Park and Midtown, a breakfast ritual for Intowners in search of bountiful helpings of healthy Southern comfort food, including lots of vegetarian options and fried green tomatoes that make even Yankees swoon; a cast of characters provides service described as courteous disorganization in old-time hippie settings; P.S. fans also praise the dinner fare as scrumptious.

Las Palmeras
Food 23, Decor 10, Service 21, Cost $17
Like a sidewalk cafe in Havana, this mami and papi spot hidden behind Piedmont Park in Midtown attracts amigos with awesome Cuban cuisine and welcoming service; though the interior of the little house could use remodeling, and it’s tucked away in an obscure neighborhood that keeps the trendy people away, it’s always busy nonetheless.
