Ducks Cosmic Kitchen - Decatur

This restaurant is charming, unique, and pleasantly low-key. I visited on Saturday for a much-needed tranquil breakfast. I ordered the uptown breakfast sandwich along with a cup of coffee. The coffee was robust yet smooth, and the sandwich was fresh and tasty. We enjoyed our meal outside in the peaceful, shaded courtyard, feeling as if we had escaped the city and found a cozy little retreat. They also offer an impressive selection of homemade cookies, pastries, pies, and cinnamon rolls that all looked incredibly tempting! I definitely plan to return to grab some baked goods for the holiday season—and of course, for breakfast again!

I discovered this restaurant by chance while searching for lunch options, having grown weary of the same old places I usually frequented. I called in an order for a chicken salad sandwich and a cosmic side salad. It took me about fifteen minutes to walk from my Airbnb. The complex consists of two buildings; I think the first one was for employees. The second building, located further inside, is where I picked up my food. I took it back home to enjoy, and both the sandwich and salad were enjoyable—quite simple but good. Overall, it was a nice and affordable lunch!

I ordered the pork tenderloin special, which came with maple-glazed sweet potatoes, corn casserole, and broccoli casserole. While I wasn't a fan of the cornbread, everything else was delicious! The pie was absolutely fantastic! It's a charming little spot that you definitely need to check out!

Hidden off College Ave by 3 Taverns Brewery, Duck's is a cute and quaint cafe with a free parking lot free, easy parking's not always common in Decatur). Service was fast and friendly. Had the California pizza $10) chicken, avocado, garlic, tomato. It was fresh and very hot but nothing special. My friends had the James Calvin pot roast sandwich) and the Oban fancy BLT on a croissant). Both sandwiches looked and tasted delicious. The chocolate chip cookie $1.10) was really good!! I recommend staying away from the pizza and trying on the sandwiches and selection of desserts cookies, brownies, pie, including a few gluten free options).

Formerly Duck 's Cosmic Kitchen the name changed in 2013, according to Eater Atlanta. I haven 't been here in a long while, which is strange because I thought the place was pretty fabulous when it opened in 2005. But I do enjoy their donuts regularly at Dancing Goats. Today I decided to break my long Duck drought and headed over for lunch. A great day to eat outside in their courtyard. At first, I had to figure out where the door was. Years ago, you ordered from the trailer like building where the bakery/kitchen is and took your food either to an outside seat or inside a dining room located in the building to the back right. They now have a proper restaurant space and that dining room is some other business. The James Calvin sandwich is as delicious as I remembered. Fall apart pot roast with great walnut bread. The potato salad is pretty good, too. And the lemonade is perfect for a fairly warm June day. Service is as friendly and unpretentious as always. Duck 's reminds me of the places you find in Grass Valley, California, if you 've ever been there. Nice people with more than a little '60 's counter culture influence.
