    Toasted marshmallow latte with spinach feta danish and tunacado
    Maranda L.

    Cute place and very spacious! It's fast casual with comfortable seating. Good for working or socializing. The coffee flavors are not detectable at all but the food tasted great. Had to park in a structure and walk a bit just to get to it though.

    Coffee date with my daughter

    Service was great, I got the hazelnut pistachio latte hot, and ordered my daughter a milk and a cake pop. Place was clean and a vibe. I just wish they didn't use tiny cups for lattes. Like give me a regular medium sized coffee cup not these small ones. Now I have to order another coffee or just stop at another coffee shop and grab another coffee on my way to my destination

    Vanilla latte with Irish cream cold foam in a can! All soy milk.

    One of my new favorites!! I visited on a Tuesday afternoon, there were constantly people in and out of the door but they were very quick and there is PLENTY of seating. The music was good, volume was good, great seating options. I ordered a speciality latte with soy milk in a can. I was a vanilla latte with Irish cream cold foam for $8.75. A tad high compared to Starbucks but not too bad for a specialty latte with cold foam and non dairy milk. The latte was veryyy good. The espresso was smooth and the drink was flavorful and sweet but not too sweet. I can't wait to go back!

    Matcha with milk and honey
    Sara W.

    One of the best matchas around! I have tried matcha at numerous locations in Metro Detroit! If you prefer a more pure matcha taste without a lot of sweet syrups and creative flavors, their base matcha with milk and honey is excellent! They seem to have the preparation and ratio on point. The interior is great with good seating and there is even a stocked bookcase. The cafe location is in a nice downtown area that continues to expand and it's close to a river & park you can stroll through if you want to enjoy your drink outside in nature.

    Turkey pesto panini, so flavorful!

    Friendly very spacious coffee shop with sandwiches and pastries and cute candy cups to snack on too! Great seating hanging chairs, tables and chairs comfy couch very chill vibe for meeting friends or working on your own

    Warm and comfy atmosphere. Clean facilities. Super friendly and helpful staff. Great coffee. I ordered the signature, The Common Root (hot version with whole milk) and it was delicious. I chatted with a friend for about 3 hours and the noise level was very suitable. The food looked amazing but we didn't try anything. Definitely going back.

I reviewed the menu before I left, and they seem to have a great selection of items that are healthy and reasonably priced. I was torn between the parifat bowl and the breakfast burrito, but the gal at the register convinced me to get the burrito instead. Next time, I'm doing the parifat. The total was about $14 and change, and I was pleasantly surprised at how big the portion was when it came out. They also have a great, but limited selection of coffee drinks with pictures as well. I stuck with water this time since I was good on the coffee. Food was great, even though I was confused about what bread it was served on. I went with the turkey sausage which I normally don't like because it's just so salty. I also received a nice salad with it as well, which was good and healthy. I really like it here, it's better than my usual coney island and in a great location. I know this place used to be a sub shop back in the day, but they closed some time ago. Mostly healthy food options here and have great hours. You can eat healthy with some flavor in your food, thus, Lula's.

All of the employees we interacted with were very friendly. The food came quickly. The iced chai lattes were perfect. We ordered and açaí bowl and a lotus wrap. It was obvious that all of the ingredients were very fresh! The açaí bowl was filled with lots of fresh fruit, seeds, and honey. The lotus wrap was delicious, the wrap itself is grilled in some sort of cheese crumble. The wrap was packed full of chicken and veggies. For a quick bite to eat, everything was excellent! The cafe itself is very clean and modern. They have free wifi, and we saw many people working on laptops.

    The cafe is located inside Oakland University Kresge Library…read more Oh, you might be wondering where the name of this cafe came from.... Don't be too intimidated by the opulence. Suzanne O. Frankie was a former dean of the Kresge Library and a donor to the endeavor. Anyway, the café offers a delightful abundance of fresh fruit, assorted muffins, bagels, salads and sandwiches from Chartwells (OU's dining service provider). The café also highlights Peet's Coffee & Tea; a California based coffee company that holds the first Gold Certified LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design), very artisan, organic and environmentally friendly. The café is a very contemporary lounge with black and gold motif and paintings featuring local artists adorning the walls. There are booths, personal tables, and raised bar-style tables perfect for studying or just enjoying an afternoon of kaffeeklatsch. The café provides convenience to students, especially when mugging up for an exam.

NEVER have i been turned down WATER at any other resturant or fast food place. this is ridiculous. with how much TUITION i pay to go to this school i should get FREE WATER IN A PLASTIC CUP any time i want. 0/10 stars that man was rude. the women working there are very kind but he has something wrong with him.
