Necessary Purveyor

A Culinary Gem in the Heart of Ponce City Market! I rarely leave reviews, but Necessary Purveyor at Ponce City Market absolutely deserves the hype. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is cozy and inviting—warm lighting, stylish decor, and a buzz of excitement that tells you that you’re in for something special. The dinner menu? A revelation. Every dish is a masterclass in flavor and presentation. We started with the little gem Cesar with shrimp and it’s truly one of the best I’ve had in Atlanta. The mains were equally impressive: I had the lobster Mac and cheese, which melted in my mouth and it came with huge chunks of lobster which took the dish over the top. My boyfriend ordered the burger which was so rich it melted in our mouths we nearly fought over splitting the last bite. Cocktails were inventive and balanced—try the “ATLychee Martini” if you like a floral and sweet combination in your drink. And don’t skip dessert. The crème brûlée was the perfect finale! Service was impeccable—attentive without hovering, and genuinely passionate about the food. The entire team is absolutely incredible. This place is going to be the next big thing in Atlanta dining with a little bit of everything! Go now before the waitlist catches up!

Necessary Purveyor is a must. Love this place. The ambiance is excellent, and everyone who works here is incredibly sweet and accommodating. They helped us choose our options and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. The egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich was amazing—already planning a comeback to try more.

Service is wonderful! All the staff we interacted with were very polite, friendly, and attentive. We visited during lunch (would love to try their breakfast and dinner options). - Turkey AVO was great! I had mine deconstructed, without bread, since I’m gluten free - the manchego was ok, felt it needed more toppings as just meat, cheese, lettuce. - chicken salad pretty good - Tuna salad we would skip. Not our favorite - the fries actually weren’t my favorite - extra crispy and dry. Almost like chips. Not terrible just not something I’d write home about - strawberry matcha oat milk was excellent - blood orange sorbet WONDERFUL

Maybe *the best* breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. Bacon egg and cheese on biscuit. Single side pancake was large and very good (subtle hint of lemon). Met the owner, Tyler, who was super friendly.

The place is beautiful. We came for Sunday brunch and it had amazing morning vibes. Got the oysters, avocado toast (had real mashed avocado), the lox bagel, and the steak sandwich. Everything was absolutely delicious. We went at 10 and there was no wait but at 11am it was full. Apparently in the morning they don’t serve your table, you have to order at counter.

Visited Necessary Purveyor in Atlanta and absolutely loved it! I ordered the chicken parm sandwich, it was delicious and totally worth it. Our food took a bit longer than expected, but Jordan, one of the owners, was so gracious and offered a complimentary drink to make up for the wait. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual bite or a relaxed hangout. I’ll definitely be back!

The people, the food and the environment were over the top here. I got the bacon egg and cheese sesame bagel and I can safely say it was the best bagel I’ve had, ever. The staff were extremely friendly. The coffee tasted very professionally done. I’m excited to come back. Easily became one of my favorite spots in the city.

A New Gem in Atlanta That Became My Culinary Home for a Week! During my week-long stay in Atlanta at the Scout Living hotel, I stumbled upon The Necessary Purveyor on the ground floor—and it completely won me over. From the very first bite, I was hooked, and I ended up having every single meal there for the entire week just so I could explore their full menu. The quality of the ingredients is outstanding, the flavors are truly unforgettable, and the staff could not be kinder—they make you feel right at home. The restaurant itself is spotless, with a beautifully designed interior and an atmosphere that strikes the perfect balance between welcoming and stylish. For dinner, my top three picks were the sea bass, chicken, and beet salad—each dish perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Breakfast was equally impressive; I highly recommend the Scout Plate and the Avo Toast to start your morning right. And when it comes to lunch, their sandwiches are simply the best I’ve ever had—don’t miss the Turkey Avo, Don Theo, and Rocko’s Cutlet. The cocktails are also a highlight—my favorite was their Margarita, but they offer an excellent wine selection as well, with impressive quality and variety.

As someone from NJ - this is the closest thing I've had to feeling at home in ATL. That's dramatic, but seriously the best sandwich I have had in Atlanta - maybe top 10 including those back home. The sandwiches ARE pricey (this one was $18) for ordering at a counter and not being full sit down, but one sandwich is plenty for two people to share or to take home the other half for later. Worth it in my opinion. Strawberry matcha is expensive but there's a reason why I keep coming back - it's insane. The staff are super friendly and attentive. The vibes are great, not overwhelmingly loud at all. If I come in the mornings to do work I'd have no issue focusing.

This is a review on behalf of my husband, as they don't have much of anything GF (real bummer) but he loved it! He had a BEC sandwich for breakfast and an Iced Latte and really enjoyed them both. We went on their 2nd day open and it was already smooth sailing in there. Service was very friendly and fast. The space is so beautiful and clean. Great addition to the Scout Living hotel. I hope they consider getting some additional tea options (other than the current Chai and Matcha) in the future!

This is my second time, I really wanting to give this place a try, but the manager's a tall african American gentleman's attitude completely killed my mood. From the moment I stepped inside, his energy was cold and unwelcoming -- like I was bothering him just by being there. No smile, no greeting, just a bad attitude that instantly made me uncomfortable. I hadn't even sat down yet before deciding to leave. If that's how management treats customers, I can only imagine what the rest of the experience would be like. There are too many good restaurants out here with great food and friendly service I'll take my business to one of them. Please talk to him he's hurting your business.

Loved this place! The food was really good. I ordered a cheese danish, which was a little toasted for my taste, but still good. I also has an iced coffee and a biscuit with scrambled eggs and avocado, both amazing. I was glad I ordered the danish because the food took a little while to get there. The staff was all really nice and helpful. I also really loved the music.

tep inside and the first thing that grabs you is the space itself airy, open, and full of natural light. It's got that minimal, farmhouse-inspired aesthetic that makes you want to sit back and soak it all in. There's plenty of seating, so it never feels cramped, even during busier hours. Service, though, left something to be desired. I'm big on customer experience, and sometimes all it takes is a simple "hello" to set the tone. Here, the staff felt more reserved, which made the atmosphere feel a little flat. The main reason I came, though, was for the coffee. BigFace Coffee founded by NBA star Jimmy Butler has been on my radar, and I had to see what the hype was about. I ordered my usual vanilla oat latte. The roast itself was impressive: smooth, with a perfect shot that wasn't too bitter or sour. The flavor leaned a little sweet, but it still allowed the espresso to shine through. Beyond coffee, the menu extends to handcrafted sandwiches, pastries, and even a full bar, so there's something for everyone. Overall, my experience was good but not great. The coffee lived up to the reputation, the space was beautifully designed, but the customer service kept it from being as memorable as it could have been. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit just don't expect the warmest welcome

I was very disappointed in this place. My friends and I came on a Sunday afternoon and had to wait for people to leave so we could sit after we ordered. We got the don theo , short rib & rockos cutlet. It was about $20 for each sandwich which is way overpriced. I won't come here again.

3rd time's a charm! I was on the HUNT for a great cup of coffee. I didn't even know this place existed. Stopped by Ponce City Market for an unrelated matter and Purveyor was PACKED! I thought why not give it a try ‍. Their Americano did the trick. If you're in the area and looking for a swanky spot to grab coffee, breakfast or the like, give them a try .

Upscale restaurant vibes but equally upscale prices. Lots of seating with great views. Sometimes you need a treat.

This place is a gem. Been in Georgia for business for a few weeks and I'm here almost every morning. The staff is warm and welcoming and the store is beautiful. You can either dine in or choose a great selection of grab and go quality food from the cooler, great option for those who are on long stays or working late. Ownership/ Management is hospitality driven and it is %1000 visible in the staff. Jordan and Tyler will take the time to make you feel welcome and Chris and Mel at the cashier area will remember your name and make you feel like your at home every time. Blown away. The food is also amazing which helps but the hospitality is above and beyond in every way from top to bottom.

expensive but fantastic sandwich. Quite a lot of food. It's counter service and it is fast. People are friendly. It's not loud.

Clean and bright beautiful space! We tried the strawberry matcha, rockos cutlet, and Don Theo. Everything was fresh, great flavors, huge sandwiches we will share them next time! Bar was popping and fresh seafood bar looked amazing! People were so friendly!

Went once and the male manager was incredibly apathetic about helping me. Said there was nothing i could eat there and was very slow to check on gluten free options. The female cashier actually helped me find several options and i bought them. Unfortunately the way the man acted and the bad coffee made a lasting impression. Its basically just to go food funneled from Alons bakery with male management who are not interested in keeping the business open. Wont last (fyi i was the only customer at the time i was ignored)

Service was excellent, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Definitely visit if you are near Ponce City Market.

Been here a few times since it opened and the sandwiches have been consistently excellent. High quality ingredients (really good bread too) and generous portions. The staff and vibes of the place are really cool too.
