First time here. Â I am impressed. Let me start by saying I've been sitting here for 30 min. Â The hospitality and customer service is A1. Â I employ 30 people as a qsr franchisee. Â You can't train this type of hospitality. Â The americano was up to par and a dollar less than sbucks. Â Sandwiches are cheap and fresh. Open kitchen is clean. Â Menu isn't confusing. Always daily specials. Get rid of the residential microwave used in a commercial application as well as the cheap cop out overhead music with commercials...Tacky . Â I'll be back for the Cuban Sammy. Â Again I stress the hospitality. Â I walked in stressed over work and was put at ease by the Staff's overall demeanor. Â Wednesday 23rd, Â 2:30pm
Review Source:One of the best places on this side of town to get a good, healthy, inexpensive breakfast. Egg white, spinach and cheese breakfast sandwich, excellent fruit salad, and a good variety of less healthy - but still delicious - muffins and scones. Coffee is good as well. There are usually four varieties up: a light, a dark, a decaf and a flavored. Very comfortable interior. The big downside is the wifi: you get a code with purchase for an hour's worth. I can relate to the limiting of wifi time (I wish more places would do this, actually), but an hour is a little too stringent. Also the limited hours are a detractor, but they're really more of a true cafe than a true coffee shop, so I would rather them do breakfast and lunch well and skip dinner.
Very good place overall though.
I was finally able to visit LuLu's today and was pleased to have made it in. Â The coffee shop looked super cute and though it opens too late for me to grab my morning coffee on the weekdays (6:30am), I'll happily suggest it as a meeting place for when I grab a coffee with friends on the north side. Â
I went with the roasted vegetable wrap (changing out the cream cheese w/ humus) and my friend ordered the special of the day which was a turkey avocado wrap. Â Both of us liked our wraps very much and they were a nice size for not a bad price. Â I got the side salad but as I left, I saw someone with a fruit cup which is probably what I'll get next time. Â
I tried a chocolate peanut butter swirl cookie for dessert and I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. Â I love super sweet cookies and these weren't as sweet as I was going for. That's just my personal preference but I'm pretty picky when it comes to cookies. I don't like the ones at Monical's or Jimmy John's either.
Visited the new location this morning. Â It is nice. Â Still doing something I really don't like though. Â When you order a bagel to go, you get fake butter or fake cream cheese in little tubs, a knife and your bagel. Â So if you want to eat that bagel in the car on the way to work, too bad. Â My suggestion: start using real butter and cream cheese, offer to put it on the nice warm bagel before you give it to me. Â By the time I got to work, the bagel was cold and hard as a rock-maybe day old? Â I just threw it all away. :(

Lulu's is my local coffee shop and I'm there a goodly amount.
It's a small place amongst many in a strip mall, but don't let their location deter you, inside is some of the most magical treats and delicious coffee known to north Indy.
The owners and staff are amazingly friendly and efficient. Â Lulu's offers a huge variety of coffees, espresso drinks and other items (even colas!) to quench your thirst. You can even buy their beans by the pound.
They also offer a full range of breakfast and lunch items, including housemade soups each and everyday. Â Lunch includes salads, wraps, sammies, quiche and more.
The hands down item you MUST TRY are the scones -- simply the best scones I've had. Â LOVE love love the cranberry!
New to their menu are cake balls, small spheres of moist cake dipped into a thick shell of chocolate.
Note that Lulu's is closed on Sunday...always a bummer for us, but I'm sure a welcome break for the hard working owners.
Lulu's is the best place in Indy to grab a quick breakfast. I used to go a few times a week with my sister on our way to Brebeuf. I went to pastry school and can still say that Lulu's has the best scones I have ever tasted in my life. I have also had experience with Lulu's catering (for a bridal shower brunch) and am glad to report that made to order scones are as fantastic as the ones that are made every morning. The people are super nice, and the atmosphere is great if you have a few hours to kill with a good book. Try the hot vanilla chai, you'll thank me!
Review Source:I was hoping this was going to be a really good place. It is right around the corner from my house. My husband was sick (inner ear infection) and I just did not feel like cooking, so I felt like this was a great time to try this place out.
Before I left we took a look at the menu and decided what we wanted. I drove up there ready and confident to place my order.
One of the things I noticed when I walked in was the different types of coffee beans that they have. I do not drink coffee, but my husband is a coffee nut. I know from him that coffee should be kept in dark and cool spaces. The coffee here was out in the open in a bright area in clear jars. I made sure to remember to mention that to my husband so he would know to steer clear.
I order our food and the cashier is really nice and really knowledgeable about the menu.
I get home and we sample our food. It is okay. Really. That's it. Okay. Nothing to write home about. My husband had the chicken salad sandwich. I had the turkey sandwich. He had a brownie which was less than stellar, and I had a chocolate chip cookie, which tasted oddly salty.
I am a big fan of deli food. If you are going to have it, it needs to be great. This was not great. They had quiches there on display as well, Â and they looked amazing. I might try again, and might go for a quiche the next time.
Everytime I've come in here it's been pretty decent. I've only eaten here once & got the hummus bagel plate which was decent. The cappuccinos are OK, but I find myself longing for Lazy Daze. No one else does it as well as they do. Maybe it's the beans Monon Coffee Co. & Lulu's use or something that has me favouring Lazy Daze. I should probably find out. If the coffee's strong enough, it's usually bitter. Otherwise the 2 shots in a drink are not very strong. I don't go in for sweet drinks. I like my coffee coffee-flavoured.(not necessarily at Lulu's.. just observing.) Anyway, servers are friendly & helpful & the shop itself is bright & colourful.
Review Source:I love Lulu's cafe! I was there the day that it opened and every time I go there I get the same great food and the same great service. I recommend the feta and spinach quiche and there BLT's are really good too! The workers are very nice and the place is always clean. It's a very good place to have brunch with friends, meetings, or just to go there with your kids and get some really great food!
Review Source:My husband just discovered LuLu's a couple of months ago thanks to a friend of ours and we have been regulars since. My husband's office is near by and he is totally hooked on the Heath latte. Â The mocha's are really good.
This morning I had a blueberry lemon scone which was very good, and had many blueberries. Â I had a regular coffee instead of an espresso drink and it was really good coffee.
Not really my kind of atmosphere, but I'll be back.
As the name suggests, the place has a lively vibe, with artwork that's a little too vibrant for my taste and fluorescent lights a little too bright for my liking.
I was politely greeted by staff, and with people behind me, I felt a bit pressured to order, so I asked what was recommended for vegetarians and a variety of hummus-based items was suggested. I ordered the egg salad sandwich. The menu on the wall is a bit hard to read when you approach the angled cash register, so I suggest grabbing a menu from the counter and checking that out before ordering.
The egg salad sandwich was good, nice and simple. The eggs weren't chopped so finely that they didn't have any body (I'm not a fan of the creamier egg salads), and the spice was mildly like a deviled egg, with cucumber and lettuce surrounding.
Side of apple salad was fresh, and 3 baby carrots were a nice surprise.
I'll be back again, probably for coffee and a scone. If service is as good and the coffee's good too, will bump up to 5 stars.
Lulu's was great. Some of my favorite elements are brought together here. Independently owned, great coffee (I only tried the drip coffee, not sure about the espresso creations), and affordable and tasty brunch food.
I had the spinach and feta quiche, fruit salad, and coffee for breakfast. Service was friendly and there were open tables at 12am on a Saturday morning. Great place to stop on the way to half price books at 86th and ditch.
Lulu's, like Monon Coffee Co. is one of those great little locally-owned coffee/nosh places that has defied the odds and survived the onslaught of corporate coffee shops.
I am not normally a sweet coffee fanatic, but I make an exception for Lulu's Milky Way...which is a mocha with caramel flavor added. For me, it's like dessert I can drink....best enjoyed when our notorious Indiana weather has taken a turn for the gray, chilly, damp worst.
I also really enjoy the nibbles at Lulu's. For me, it doesn't get any better than the Garden sandwich - a veggie delight. But, I've also made excellent meals out of their quiche and egg salad. Try getting that at a Starbuck's!
Lulu's is nestled in a little strip mall that has some decent shopping candidates like Steinmart, New Age People and Global Gifts - very convenient :-)
