Pay-by-weight breakfast and lunch buffet in The Hub's food court, where downtown office workers load up trays from a rotating hot line and a big salad bar; made-to-order sandwiches too.

The reliable anchor of The Hub's food court — the downtown office crowd queues here daily for chicken sandwiches, nuggets, and breakfast biscuits, and the line moves fast anyway. Open Saturdays too, closed Sundays as always. Hours: Mon-Fri 6:30am-7pm, Sat 7am-4pm, Sun closed.
Southern fast-casual chain built on a dozen scoopable chicken salad flavors, plus sandwiches, soups, and sides — a reliable light-lunch pick for the Peachtree Center office crowd at The Hub.

Hours: Daily 7am-12am per aggregator listings; runs longer than food-court hours (street-facing store) — verify pharmacy counter hours separately.

It's the reliable sweet-treat stop on the Peachtree Center concourse. Hours: Mon-Sat 6am-7pm, Sun 6am-5:30pm (per recent Yelp listing; longer than typical Hub food-court hours).
