Atrium Garden Cafe

January 29, 2009

This is a hidden gem! Atrium Garden Cafe is tucked in behind an office building off of Lake Boone and Blue Ridge. It's actually in the basement of the 2501 Blue Ridge Rd office building catty-corner from Rex Hospital. I usually pack my lunch, but if I happened to forget it, I usually run over to Atrium Garden Cafe. Their specials of the day are always delicious, the sandwiches and salads are very fresh, and you can always grab a piece of fresh fruit or a delicious "home made" brownie. For the freshness and taste, you'd think it would be more expensive. I would definitely recommend this lunch spot!

• Pros: Fresh, tasty, daily special, fresh fruit, great brownies, love the broccoli salad, price!
• Cons: Hidden from view...but that might be good so that it's never super crowded. :)

The only misnomer is "atrium" and "garden." Cafe is correct. It's in the basement of an office building, but it's still quite yummy. :)
