At first glance, The Lazy Llama might not seem like much. It's on the side of a random building, away from most of the Atlantic Station hustle. There aren't any convenient parking spots nearby, so you'll probably have to hoof it from the public garage like we did. And when you step in, with your eyes blinking from the afternoon sun, the space might seem small and even somewhat drab. It's what we thought at first glance too.
But order a drink and sit for a little while. You'll find that the folks behind the corner are as sweet and as efficient as can be. You'll fall under the cozy spell of the vibes here within the few minutes it takes them to ready your drink order. If you mange to snag one of the couches, you'll have a comfortable spot from which you can pass an hour or two of people watching. If you're here to work, like we were, you'll find that the traditional two-tops make for an excellent work space and you'll certainly appreciate the dependable wifi.
If you've got any room in your belly to spare, I implore you to try a breakfast sandwich. I wasn't even hungry, but I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel (onto which they were perfectly willing to add an avocado, at my request). It reminded me of a New York City bodega sandwich in the absolute best of ways - perfectly toasted, with well-crisped bacon, and melty cheese in the middle.
On a Saturday afternoon, The Lazy Llama was the just spot we needed - quiet and studious, calm and cozy, with no one giving us the stink eye as we worked for a few hours.
