Lucky's is fantastic, perfectly located for Sunday Farmer's Markets, which are located right across the street. I went there Sunday for brunch, and the line was out the door. It's a very popular place, and has been given some rave reviews by some of those popular critics out there (humph): Best Brunch. But, I'll give it the "Trendiest Atmosphere" award, and let's see how far that takes me on the critic circuit.
They're crazy at Lucky's about natural food and unique flavors. Apparently the chef has a garden in the back where she gets herbs for some of her dishes. And, all the pastries (you won't be able to resist) are homemade. They used to come from a local church, but they were so popular, someone had to help the church ladies out. I would recommend the blueberry tart or one of their yummy scones. Yum yum yum
To the COFFEE! Isn't that what this blog is about, anyway? Their coffee is good. And they have everything you'd want and more. And they have a little counter with everything from skim milk to honey. And you can do that all yourself. Which I like. Because people are always putting a strange mixture of ice and milk in my coffee. I like a little milk, more coffee, a regular amount of ice. And, it's nice to be able to do it yourself.
They do breakfast, lunch, and brunch, as well as coffee, coffee drinks, smoothies, the works. The place is very very comfortable; local artists fill the walls with new pieces of work; and the people are very friendly. They also have a great outdoor area with picnic benches and gardens, and the fence is painted mural-style.
I guess I'd say go for the coffee and stay for the desserts. Like the rest of Tremont, it will always make you want to come back for more.
