Customer Reviews
A must try restaurant in Chicago, highly rated and reviewed for good reason. A very unique breakfast and brunch and lunch menu. I highly recommend the “Tineka” sandwich- which includes the LULA special spicy peanut butter on fresh multi grain bread with so many other fresh flavors including the perfectly textured sprouts! Oh my goodness one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Service is very prompt and attentive. This place can be hard to get at a table on the weekends; easier during the weekdays for sure. Something to notice, they include a 20% service fee in the check, which they explain on a flyer thing when they drop the check. Overall great chill atmosphere, awesome music in the background and cool local art hanging on the walls. Delicious coffee ☕️ and lattes as well!
I had a solo brunch here while visiting Chicago, coming for the sole reason to get their breakfast burrito that was recommended online by others. It did not disappoint, and I must say it was huge, enough for two meals, at least for me. I also had their chai latte, which was lovely as well. Every worker I interacted with, including my server, was lovely, and I can see why they received the James Beard Award (2024) for hospitality. I highly recommend!
Lula never disappoints whether it be for breakfast, lunch or dinner. One of Chicago's first--if not THE first--farm-to-table restaurants. No reservations for breakfast, so be there as soon as it opens to get a table--especially on the weekends. Nothing I have ever had for breakfast, lunch or dinner disappoints. Serious food, but approachable, casual place. Can't wait to go back.
went to this neighborhood restaurant for dinner with a friend. Dishes are inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. Few ingredients, good quality. And European style portions, meaning no fully stacked plates. Very friendly service.
