This thing was BIG. Still IS big, because two of us got nowhere near finishing it. I got the farmhouse (fried chicken, two eggs, sausage gravy...on a very large biscuit) but there are a ton of interesting things on the menu. Next up for me is the Angry Bird - described as "Fried chicken, goat cheese, Korean angry sauce, toasted sesame seeds, gochugaru pickles, kimchi slaw". This is my kind of coffee house. The place is cute - located a bit east of downtown in a small free standing house type building on a corner of a mostly residential neighborhood. Service was very helpful and seemed to deal well with good deal of business. Not a ton of parking I could see but seemed sufficient. Will absolutely return to work my way through the menu. UPDATE: I was so impressed I went back two days later and got the Angry Bird. For BREAKFAST. Their description of this ine is "Buttermilk Fried Chicken Tossed in Korean Angry Sauce, Gochujang Slaw, Pickled Veggies, Sesame Seeds and Creamy Goat Cheese". Yep, for breakfast. How cool is that?!?! Again, we split thid between two of us. Not as huge as the Farmer, but still plenty for us to share. EDIT: Went again two days later and got the Angry Bird (a hot Korean chicken sandwich) for BREAKFAST. This place is awesome.

Highly recommend. Great vibe and attentive servers. Food is clearly fresh and made to order.read more

The baked goods were definitely the highlight, I loved everything I tried on the food side. I saw they have ice cream as well! The latte was not great, I think maybe it's a machine or something. The milk was not steamed or anything like that, so lattes are not their strong suit. Coffee and tea, however, looked great, I'll likely try those next.

Lulu's Lunchbox is hands down one of the best spots in the area for a quick, high-quality meal…read more Their coffee is excellent--smooth, rich, and made with ethically sourced, fair-trade beans. The lattes are especially good and always perfectly made. Their food is just as great. The chicken shawarma is my go-to for lunch--flavorful, fresh, and reasonably priced. But what really impressed me were the pastries. I once ordered a selection of cakes and pastries for a family birthday, and everything was beautifully made and absolutely delicious. The pistachio baklava was the highlight--so good that people were literally competing for the last piece. I used to live in this neighborhood a long time ago and have seen a lot of businesses come and go in this little corner of Ballardvale. Lulu's is easy to miss since it's near the train tracks, but it's absolutely worth finding. The family who runs it is incredibly kind and welcoming--once, I was late picking up an order because of traffic, and they stayed open just to make sure I got my food. That kind of service is rare. It's also great to finally have more diverse food options in the Andover area, and Lulu's Lunchbox is a fantastic addition. If you're looking for a spot with great coffee, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere, definitely check them out.

I stopped in recently to check out this place as I work in the area…read more Its really nice inside and very groovy and was very busy. Menu does not have prices listed which was a tad concerning. I ordered a iced coffee (they offer only one size) and an apple bear claw pastry. Iced coffee was strong and the pastry just ok- was very small. Should be called a cub paw. Total was a bit over $13 which I thought was high. Not a good value and I would think twice before returning. Service was pleasant.

The portion size was good for both the coffee and sandwich but I found the bambino crudo to be really lacking in the flavor department which was really disappointing for the 16.99 price tag. The coffee with condensed milk was solid but 7.99. Because of the vibe and service I would go back but would go for a breakfast item if I was getting food.

I really don't visit this area during the busy summer months, but I love the beach off-season. This…read morecafe is truly a bright spot in the area. It's right on the beach with a clear view of the ocean. The windows flip open and must be amazing in the summer months (I think someone posted a photo of the building here). I've been a few times on Sunday morning, when its quiet and peaceful, and the beach air is cool. I've only had the coffee and some breakfast items, but would like to try more. Its a comfortable place to hang out for a little while and the people here are nice. I'll be back again before they close for the season. I highly recommend you give them a try!

The steak & egg bánh mì was the star--perfectly crusty bread with a soft interior, packed with crunchy pickled carrots and daikon, fresh cilantro, and sliced jalapeños for just the right amount of heat. The fillings were well-balanced and didn't skimp, making every bite satisfying. We also tried the breakfast bánh mì, which was buttery and flaky, layered with fresh veggies and savory protein--simple but done really well. The little touches, like the pickled veggies on the side, made it feel thoughtful and authentic. To top it off, the Vietnamese iced coffee was strong, smooth, and not overly sweet--exactly how it should be. Perfect pairing with the sandwiches. Great food, solid portions, and consistently good quality. Lu's is an easy go-to for bánh mì and coffee, whether you're dining in or grabbing something to go. Highly recommend.

The place is busy! Very cute inside. The lineup can be long, so expect a wait time. The interior is absolutely beautiful. Not all servers know English so be patient with the crew. The prices run Boston style. Expect to pay $6 for latte and around $15+ for a sandwich. Taking one star off for pricing as after we are in Lawrence, should match Lawrence pricing. But we know I'll be back due to lack of good office coffee.
