**There is WiFi** Great atmosphere, skilled and hospitable baristas, yummy food, GREAT COFFEE. If you're feeling experimental go ahead and try a pistachio latte. It won't disappoint.
The bowl of soul is an amazing tea latte (vegan!) and the New Orleans iced coffee is perfect on a hot day.
John KoenigApril 21, 2011Excellent baked goods, beautiful building and a sweet location. Their coffees are great too. Plus, it's actually a place for meeting friends, visiting, writing poetry or reading a book. What a concept
MatthiasMarch 3, 2020Quiet a cute café but somehow it didn‘t really win me over... Maybe it was just a bad day but Wifi was broken, they only had one type of bagel left and were out of napkins as well...
Duncan CarrollJuly 26, 2016Authentic spot. Love the outdoor seating and atmosphere. Coffee and pastries aren't bad either.
Jeff ValjeffApril 11, 2017Ask the baristas for tea recommendations instead of going for the usual Earl Grey. They have all kinds of great options.
wai-ling q.April 12, 2010This is not a run in and run out operation. The barista/clerk takes one person at a time and makes sure you get everything you want before serving the next customer. Great coffees & had lovely chai.
RebeccaSeptember 28, 2015Yes it's a cafe so their coffee is good, but the tortilla casserole is amazing
FedericaAugust 16, 2012Lovely place, though the coffee is a bit burnt. Check out the courtyard in the back!
Caffeine lovers should ask for the Royale, a latte with an extra shot
CandiceJune 16, 2012Loved the atmosphere. Not a lot of options for food and my latte was just OK. Gluten free options available.
Aaron CollinsOctober 9, 2011Get a bowl of soul. It's an amazing cup of steamed soy milk, chamomile tea, cinnamon, and honey.
Elliot DeRemerMarch 15, 2010Don't expect to be able to work/study here. The owner has removed all power outlets and will force-ably remove you if you're there too long. I won't support Lulu's anymore
