Crema's Take
“LuLu's is a thoughtfully run café that takes its time with both coffee and food, earning genuine affection from regulars who come back for the welcoming energy and kind staff. The shop shines as a plant-based haven with inventive vegan pastries and breakfast items made fresh in-house, all beautifully paired with espresso drinks and specialty options like golden milk lattes and matcha that feel equally considered. Whether you're after a pour-over, a cappuccino, or a perfectly toasted bagel with cashew cream cheese, this is the kind of neighborhood spot that makes you feel known the moment you walk through the door.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
