Let me start by saying, that Luci's is a welcome edition to the neighborhood.  It's so nice to drive down the street and see the big glass garage doors open, with people drinking coffee in the morning, and enjoying  live music in the evenings. Their staff is great, and the owners seem very kind as well.\n\nI gotta say that I haven't tried anything freshly made at Luci's that blew me away, EXCEPT the blueberry sour cream muffin.  Holy Cow, it's delicious!  Luci's also has descent coffee, which I will always choose over the Starbucks across the street. I'm slightly addicted to their bottomless helpings of iced pomegranate green tea, which is a proprietary blend just for them.\n\nLuci's is a great alternative to the somewhat shady liquor stores and aging Basha's along 16th street to get a nice bottle of wine and/or an interesting microbrew.  You can also purchase a single beer, if you just need a single cold one after a long day.\n\nI give it 3 stars b/c the \"healthy marketplace\" offerings are uninspired and overpriced. As I mentioned I haven't had anything there that knocks my socks off.  I just think that the standards need to be higher with respect to simple food that awakens your taste buds.  There's a lot of potential there, and I just want them to go for it!
