What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Lula Café was absolutely excellent. Every dish was thoughtful, beautifully presented, and—most importantly—delicious. The flavors were vibrant and well-balanced, and nothing felt repetitive despite the variety across the menu. The pacing and portion sizes were spot on: enough to feel satisfied without ever feeling heavy. The Pecorino cake deserves special mention—an unusual choice for dessert, but truly extraordinary and memorable. You can tell real care goes into both the cooking and the overall experience. A standout meal that lives up to its reputation. Easily a place I’d return to and confidently recommend."
"Very busy breakfast and brunch spot. I was looking for a place to eat after an early flight into the city. It was NYE so maybe that had something to do with how busy it was on an early Wednesday morning. I was able to squeeze in at the bar and ordered a local beer while I decided on what to eat. I settled on the specialty pork belly breakfast sandwich but the burrito was a close second. The service was exceptional, I never wanted for anything. The sandwich was tender and flavorful. The slaw, which was more like a quick kimchi was too good to just be on the side and most of it made its way onto my sandwich. I paid extra for a side of potatoes, but they were worth it. Everything was excellent but pricey. I expected that coming in and was prepared. They also charge a 20% service fee, which was clearly marked. I would come back with someone I wanted to impress with brunch."
"Service, dishes and drinks were beyond delightful. We didn't realize there was a Chicago Restaurant Week menu until we were seated at the bar. One glance and we knew that would be our direction. It was the perfect amount of food and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We can't wait to return!"
"Lula Cafe offers a welcoming, kid-friendly atmosphere that’s great for families. They don’t take reservations, but we were seated as a party of four after about a 30-minute wait, which felt reasonable given how busy it was. Once seated, the service was prompt, kind, and attentive. The French toast really stood out—unique and well executed, with the added grapefruit providing a bright, refreshing twist. The breakfast burrito was very filling, but it lacked flavor and could benefit from more seasoning or contrast. Overall, a pleasant brunch experience with thoughtful service, especially when dining with kids."
"Lula Cafe nailed it. The chickpea frites were to die for, and the beet bruschetta was my favorite—creative, curious, and seriously memorable. We topped it off with two free scoops of Meyer lemon poppyseed ice cream for my girlfriend’s birthday, which was the perfect sweet finish. Next-level service, addictive atmosphere, and great vibes all around. One small note: the dinner menu is lighter on protein, so fellow carnivores—breakfast or lunch is your best bet. Still a must-visit Logan Square gem."
