What People Are Saying About Carolyn's Gourmet Cafe & Catering

In Short – Good lunch options--cheap, quick and affordable, yet not fast food--can be tough to find in the city. Lodged under skyscrapers off West Peachtree, there is a lot to like about this crow-drawing lunch spot. A sprawling chalkboard makes for a quick menu read, and the over-the-counter system allows you to move on the fly and get back in the office. Gourmet pizzas, sandwiches and salads have unique combinations and cutely-quirky names, while the most expensive lunch hovers around 10 bucks. The restaurant does full service for dinner, but the lunch counter appropriately fits the…

Best of Everything

I work within walking distance and eat at Carolyn's at least three days per week. The food is great and there are plenty of choices (sandwich, pizza, salad, soup) to suit any appetite.
In six years, I have never had a bad experience.
Two thumbs up!!!
- Pros: Great Service & Great Menu
- Cons: None

Carolyn's is awesome!

I go to Carolyn's for lunch at least once a week and happy hour because they are walking distance from my office- they have great food- sandwiches and personal pizzas. We love Carolyn's! They recently did a lunch catering job for my office too which was great....highly recommend Carolyn's for lunch/happy hour. Great spot in Midtown.

A Great Find...
by italywins08 at Citysearch
I recently moved to town from Chicago and I came across a great little place in mid-town, it had the vibe of very hip place you might fine in the neighborhoods of downtown Chicago, i.e. Wriggleyville, Lincoln Park.
I was very pleased to see that they offer "Boars Head' meats, they have some of the finesst cuts of meat money can buy, and all there breads are baked fresh, and the ingredinents also are very fresh.
I had a wrap my first visit and it was splendid, my second trip i tried one of there burgers and that also had great flavor, I noticed that they have a great lunch business, the day I was there lines out the door, I knew then I came to the right spot.
I saw that they had cute little bar that would be great for business people to meet after work for a beverage or two and network, I personally think places like this our hard to come by, great service, wonderful food, and right in your own backyard.
I plan to bring out-town-guests here and friends if they want a low key vibe, I hope more people discover what I did, and take the time to check it out.
I also found out on a later visit that they do catering which to me is great, all the local business around should be taking advantage of that service.
I wish them all the best...
