If this place was open on Sundays we would've been there at least 10 times by now. I'm glad we checked if they were open, because we liked what we got. I ordered the cinnamon roll caramel blended cold brew and my teen ordered the British war blended cold brew. It was smooth, creamy and sweet. It isn't the fastest coffee stop, but it is worth the wait and small talk with staff. If you're in town on "not a Sunday." And you love coffee and espresso and fancy drinks, I recommend this fun little stop.

One problem is that they can run out so it's best to get in early. If you don't know what klub is then you should probably keep on driving and go to something you are familiar with.

What's not to like? Lu Lu Beans coffee shop in Willmar is one of the cutest coffee shops I've ever…read more"bean" to. Ha, ha. The small sign outside says "Welcome home friends" which hints at the overall atmosphere you'll experience at this popular Willmar coffee shop. Old guys with bald heads and white chin beards gather around a small table on the patio to sip coffee, discuss their golf game and gripe about the rising cost of home owners' insurance. Nearby, a couple of moms in yoga pants catch up before launching into their busy day. Inside, a 20-something works remotely at a table not much bigger than her laptop. And there's me. A not-so-young-anymore dad from the cities with nothing better to do than hunt for a good espresso and write wordy Yelp reviews. I ordered a daily brew, my usual, which was fine. TBH not any better than coffee out of my Keurig. They had an espresso category on their chalkboard menu but I didn't see that a simple cup of espresso was an option. I could be wro Nevertheless, it's the vibe of the place that makes Lu Lu's so special. Set in an old house? Gas station? Country store? I don't know, but I love the friendly, homey feel. The different rooms have your usual tables and chairs, but also comfy oversized chairs, couches and love seats. Want to work remotely? No problem- tables and chairs of all sizes. Want to hang out and chat with your bestie or curl up with your favorite book (or electronic device)? Check! Looking for a cozy patio surrounded by potted plants? Got you covered. (Literally, the patio is covered by a lattice pergola covered in vines that crest a nice shade on a sunny day). I also love that the walls are covered in employees' artwork. Some of it is even for sale. The decor is well curated country chic with lots of live plants, cute antiques and I feel like there's got to be a cat quietly snoozing the day away somewhere around here. (Probably not really, but it wouldn't surprise me to feel something furry brush up against my leg). Lu Lu Beans coffee shop is as if your oddly hip grandma was a tattooed, big city barista who decided to start a new life in Willmar after working for Martha Stewart. It's a good thing.

The Jamaican Me Crazy coffee is really good. The Veterans, to include myself, around the Eagles Healing Nest always praise how good to the coffee is.

The lighting is subdued, the background music is soft, and it's the kind of place where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a leisurely lunch. Even the restroom was exceptionally clean, something I always appreciate. The staff was pleasant and attentive, although a little subdued. Everyone was nice enough, but there wasn't much enthusiasm or energy. Not necessarily a bad thing, just something we noticed. You place your order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. The menu offered a nice selection, and the display case filled with baked goods certainly caught our attention. Everything looked delicious! I ordered the Reuben sandwich with a side of potato salad. My wife chose the weekly special, a chicken salad croissant served with chips. We also couldn't resist ordering a big monster cookie. Our food arrived quickly, which was nice. Unfortunately, my Reuben was pretty average. I was disappointed with the amount of pastrami on the sandwich. They were rather stingy with it, and a little more meat would have made a big difference. I hate to be negative, but the potato salad wasn't much better. It was quite bland and really didn't have much flavor. Nothing particularly memorable about either. My wife enjoyed her chicken salad croissant and thought it was good. Unfortunately, we both agreed that the monster cookie was just average. It seemed a little stale, which was especially disappointing considering how tempting all those baked goods looked in the display case. I really wanted to like this place. In fact, it's exactly the kind of cafe I typically enjoy. The atmosphere is wonderful, the menu is appealing, and the surroundings make you want to settle in and stay awhile. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the experience. I'm going with three stars. There's a lot to like about Jitters Java Cafe, and I certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from stopping in. If we happen to be in the area again, we'll probably give it another try.

I ordered a mocha and it was way better than Starbucks and less expensive. They had multiple options and food which I did not try. If I've ever back in the area. This will be my go to coffee spot.

Lack of knowledge on her tasks. My food took a long time and I was one of three other customers in this place. Two were already eating and one was only waiting for coffee. My tacos were wrapped up but smooshed. I asked for Machaca which they contain egg and this tacos had no egg at all. I also asked for Picadillo and this tacos were sweet!!!!
