Clementine

Been here several times - love the food, but unless you're hip, or in the industry, or a regular, it seems you're ignored. Most recent visit took 15 minutes to get 2 cookies and a bottle of water to go, while several employees chatted, rearranged doilies (really!), etc.

Have eaten here many times due to its convinient location, will never eat here again. Staff is slow and not very bright, food is oily and overpriced.

Pros: Location

Cons: food, staff, price

Clementine's food is all delicious. Parking is hard and it is always crowded, especially Saturday's, so take advantage of phone in orders and curbside pickup. The service is sometimes slower when they are crowded but you will forget your wait once you start eating. Their take home entrees and sides are especially delicious and affordable: Spagetti Pie and Annie's Cheesy Meatloaf are my favorites. Good for breakfast and great salads and cookies. Closed Sundays. Try a ginger limeade and keep your eyes out for the occasional celebrity from the local neighborhood.

This is the cutest place I've ever been to. The only drawbacks are that it is not a larger space and parking is non-existent. The few times I have gone here for lunch, I have been in hog heaven! They have the greatest sandwiches and salads. I have yet to try everything but one of these days I will. Save room for some of the bakery items. Everything is fantastic! The Moravian Sugar Bread is my absolute favorite.

Pros: Great food

Cons: No parking

This is not a spot for a quick lunch, as the line in the tiny restaurant comes out the door, the tables are usually full and there is only one cashier. It's possible to call in your order, which seems to be what clementine specializes in: namely take-away gourmet food ready to warm up at home. The sandwiches are tasty but pricey, the soup of the day is a winner, the chai was tasty. Parking here is BAD! They offer road side service, but if I wanted that, I would have gone to a drive thru. Not a place to sit down and enjoy your espresso, since it is TOOOOO HECTIC!

Pros: Chai Latte

Cons: PARKING STRESSFUL, LONG LINE STRESSFUL

yet another very good westside establishment. Casual but fun. It's like another version of Urth Cafe, without the people watching. Don't miss the soups.

This place is great. It has gotten a little trendy and crowded over the past year, but the food is still good, and i love the lunch specials.

Pros: service, food

Cons: parking is really bad

Clementine has amazingly tempting, albeit pricey, freshly made homemade faire and baked goods. My biggest critique of the place is that it's just too crowded on the weekends to find a decent table, and when you do find one, the service is extremely slow because it's kinda understaffed...the kids are hopping around like mad to get people served quickly. When I asked, I found out that they need a FOH Manager really badly, to turn things around and make it more organized there, so that things will run smoother, and the wait times and whatnot will be reduced. One of the kids told me that they keep hiring potential managers that don't make it through their trial period, so perhaps it is an internal management issue. However, If you're coming during the peak hours (lunch, breakfast on the weekends), be advised that there is extremely limited parking...the streets surrounding are all permit-based and there are only a few limited spots with meters on Ensley. That being said, you can easily find parking a couple of blocks up near the mall. Bring extra cash because luch for two plus drinsk and dessert can get a bit spendy.

Pros: bakery items

Cons: too crowded, no organization, spendy

If you find yourself in Century City and want to avoid the hectic foodcourt mall across the street head to this place for breakfast or lunch.

A great place to go for a healthy and tasty Lunch. Their seasonal salad selection is amazing. I usually go for the 3 salad combo. Among the salads: autumn chicken salad, salmon and endamame salad, black eyed pea salad, lentil salad, grilled chicken salad, spinach salad and fire raisins. Their cold and hot sanwiches are also really good. The pastries are excellent. I could go on for hours describing the menu. The setting is really nice, but seating is limited, especially because of the popularity of teh restaurant. Definitely a place worth checking out. It's become my personal cafeteria.
