    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lu Lu Coffee Cafe is easy to miss. Although it's located on a major street, it's tucked behind bushes and housed in a converted business, i know the busts and ivy are to give privacy but obscures the business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's only 3 parking spaces do that also keeps the place inconvenient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is absolutely charming, with a cozy nostalgic vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I especially loved the community wall where visitors can leave positive notes and messages, adding to the welcoming atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As for the coffee, it was good but not particularly memorable. We ordered a latte and a Vietnamese coffee (their version), so it's not strong. Both the latte and ice coffee were enjoyable, but neither stood out The owners are such a kind and friendly couple that it's hard not like this place. While the coffee alone may not be enough to make me go out of my way for a return visit, I would happily stop by again to support this lovely local business and enjoy a cup in their cozy space.

    The cold brew is not acidic or sour at all! It tastes almost like it needs to brew longer, because I wish it was a little stronger but it's great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is super friendly here and there's plenty of indoor or outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a home turned into a cafe, so it feels very much like you're a guest in their space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute place to study and I would come here again![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish they didn't have a kiosk because I love talking to the team about the drinks and recommendations

    order this Korean style latte!
    Jeff R.

    Im mostly here to talk about one of the best iced coffee I have ever had. The Iced Korea style latte AKA Da-Bang. A perfect combo of bite and sweetness. Has kind of a burnt caramel taste. Soooo good for a hot day. The vanilla iced latte is also very good. Another example of a great balance of flavor and also not too sweet.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Peaceful hidden gem with respectful and kind service and great coffee/food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place can be a little hard to find, but there are a few parking spots directly out front or street parking in nearby neighborhoods. Ordering is easy through a kiosk, with lots of options for customizations such as sweetness levels. They accept Apple Pay and prices were fair but I would say a bit on the higher side for certain food. However quality and taste justify the pricing and supporting local buisnesses is always a plus. There are also plenty of fair pricing options if you are looking to stay under a certain amount. Milk alternatives are extra. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and service was amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Items ordered were delivered right to me at a table and staff held the door open. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a great place with a calm and peaceful energy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice area to get some work done or catch up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Found this cute little coffee shop recently so stopped by to get some work done on a random weekday. There's a super tiny lot on the side so most likely it will be full so you'll have to look for street parking. The space inside looks a bit like a house. They have a kiosk you can order from. There's a couple small tables as well as bigger communal tables. Restrooms are available as well. For the food, the bagels looked pretty good so I got an everything bagel with cream cheese and it did not disappoint! I also was intrigued by the Korean style coffee so I opted to get it at half sweet since they said it is on the sweeter side. I'm so glad I got it half sweet but it was perfectly well balanced and I really enjoyed it! Would definitely come back again.

    Really nice people, but they don't talk to you when you order (machine) so you don't know immediately. I got the lox bagel, cinnamon caramel croffle, and Madagascar vanilla coffee. They were all delicious, just the croffle was a bit too sweet for my Asian tastebuds. Beautiful inside seating and outside. We love the porch. Abundant lime tree outside, well manicured.

    Lu Lu Coffee is a coffee shop located on Commonwealth in Fullerton. They have a variety of lattes, teas, espresso drinks, bagels, croffles, decaffeinated Korean sweetened fruity teas, unsweetened loose leaf teas, cakes, crepes, and coffee beans. I ordered the Iced Madagascar Vanilla Latte. It was excellent! Ran down smooth with perfect balance of vanilla and coffee flavor. Coffee was super strong as my heart catapulted through the roof but it was still enjoyable. Service was super warm and friendly. I was greeted upon entry and told to order on the tablet and to let them know if I have any questions. I signed up for rewards but couldn't exit the screen to get to the next step. Another barista ended up helping me exit the screen and then I was able to continue my order from there. Once I placed my order, I was asked if I wanted it hot or iced. Within a few minutes, my drink was handed to me and was thanked for my order. Comfy and cozy atmosphere with nice decor. The exterior and interior is pretty much like a home. A few dining tables inside with a lot of mementos under the glass top. I couldn't say the environment was serene as one of the patrons was talking on their phone loudly but I was there to grab and go anyway. There's also seating outside. Excellent Madagascar Vanilla Latte with super warm service. Will be back for another visit!

    First timer! I loved the little experience here From the server helping us choose the right coffee to having a delicious sweet and savory treat to share. We had a nice slow morning over coffee playing games and it wasn't loud at all, perfect to chat about all the good things happening in life.

    I had the sweetest experience at Lulu Coffee! This place is so cute and cozy, you can really feel the love the owners put into it. They were interacting with so many regulars, remembering faces and going out of their way to be thoughtful. I even saw them add extra fruit for a couple to share, which was such a small but meaningful touch. I ordered a matcha and a vanilla iced coffee both were really good, but the matcha was definitely my favorite. Super smooth and flavorful! Overall, the vibe, the care for customers, and the quality drinks make this spot stand out. I'll definitely be back especially for that matcha

    None of my previous experiences with cold brew coffee (from other places) ended well. They either tasted acidic or they caused irritation to my stomach. I thought maybe I was too weak for cold brews, so I had never ordered it again. Then I had the cold brew at LULU COFFEE. From the first sip to the last, didn't turn sour, stomach didn't complain, and no palpitation. Ophelie (boss lady) told me it would be good without any cream and sugar. She was not lying. To a person that rarely consumes black coffee, LULU's cold brew took me by surprise, in a good way. Anyway, I shall order it again.

    I love this place. This coffee shop is located in a house. It's kept as a house to create a warm, welcoming, homey, comfortable vibe...and it works. The interior has several tables scattered about and both inside and out are decorated with eclectic items and antiques. Many of the items are uniquely interesting, cute, and just plain cool. There is also seating outside both in the front yard and back yard. Once you order and pay on the kiosk (in the area where the kitchen would be) you take a seat (inside or out) and your order will be brought to you. I ordered a hot Madagascar vanilla latte and a cinnamon-caramel croffle, then mosied outside to take a seat under a tree in the backyard area. The owners here are the sweetest people on the planet. They really care about their customers, whether you're a regular or brand new. I've never experienced that level of welcoming at any business. The latte was heaven. I've had superb vanilla lattes before but this one was flawless. The coffee was exquisite (they roast their own beans on-site), the rich vanilla flavor wasn't overly sweet, and was blended at the perfect ratio with the coffee. The temperature at which it was served made it immediately drinkable. It was so smooooooooth! The croffle was quite tasty. I really enjoyed it. They also put a mini berry croffle on my plate, I guess as a free sample, and I loved it (and will order a full-sized one next time...which means their clever plan worked! haha) I sat for a while, relaxing in the quietness and serene feeling I had while sitting under the tree. Realizing how much I enjoyed the roast of their coffee, I went back inside and bought a bag of beans to take home. Every once in a while a person finds a place they really connect with on multiple levels. For me, this is one of those places. This is now a favorite coffee spot for me and I plan on being a long-time customer.

    I LOVE LULU COFFEE. it is so cozy inside and you are welcome by the owners who are so sweet and take the time to remember your name and even chat w you for a bit too. Their matcha latte is perfect and the korean latte will keep you caffeinated. I've also tried the lox bagel and croffles which i recommend! you feel at home when you are here

    This is such a cool little gem on the outskirts of downtown Fullerton! The owner's Lulu and her husband are just fabulous. They have a small food menu with some delectable items and a fantastic selection of coffees and teas. It is all in a charming little historical home turned into a little coffee house. They are also very accommodating to my best friend Maverick and love giving him treats. I've had the same thing every time because their bagels are the best!

    Do not spend a single dollar here. Allergen requests ignored, orders wrong, zero accountability…read more If you have a food allergy, do not eat here. Full stop. The written menu advertises nondairy milk and ingredient modifications, but the kiosk doesn't actually let you select any of them. Staff told us to put substitutions in "special comments" and promised they'd be honored. They weren't- on a single order, twice. We ordered two coffees (oat milk, whole milk) and two customized breakfast burritos. It took 40 minutes. We were the only customers in the cafe. When the food came out, nothing was labeled / not the drinks, not the burritos- and staff couldn't tell us which was which. When I explained that one of us has a dairy allergy and asked them to identify the allergen-free items, I got a blank stare. We opened both burritos: both had cheese, despite my explicit no-cheese request. Their solution? "Can you pick it out?" No. You cannot pick out melted cheese from an allergen order. I was not offered a fresh burrito, just another blank stare until I specifically stated "I need you to remake this with the proper ingredients and confirm what you put in." Once again the burrito came out with no label, and when I asked for clarity on what was in it I was again met me with a blank stare. My partner's burrito was also wrong (pico she'd asked to have removed), but by then the 40-minute wait had made her late for work. When I asked for a refund on her incorrect meal, I was told they couldn't refund it "because she left." When I asked to leave written feedback: "we don't accept written feedback." Manager? Not in. Manager's phone number? Don't have it. But here's what pushed this from bad service to abominable: there is no way to hold this place accountable. At no point did anyone acknowledge a mistake had been made or make any real attempt to fix it- every wrong order was met with a shrug and the expectation that I'd just live with it. When I asked to leave written feedback, I was told they don't accept it. When I asked for the manager, they weren't in. When I asked for a manager's phone number or someone to contact, the employee "didn't have access to that." A business that serves people with food allergies MUST have a way for customers to flag problems in real time and reach management. This place has built a system where mistakes can't be reported, refunds can't be issued, and no one is responsible for anything. To be clear, this isn't on the line staff - one employee clearly hadn't been given the language support or training to succeed, and that's a management failure. The other younger employee was just incompetent and unhelpful, even though she was clearly aware of the requests. If you advertise allergen accommodations, you have to execute them, label them, and answer for it when you don't. Until this place fixes its ordering system, its labeling, and its total lack of accountability, spend your money literally anywhere else.

The design of the space is clever---there are bench seats along the wall, long tables in the middle, and small circle tables on the sides.

I would definitely study here if I was in the area. Gabe was really friendly, and helped me choose a great latte. I bought the Single Origin Okumidori Matcha iced latte, and it was the perfect level of sweetness. I didn't even have to adjust the level by some percentage; the standard blend is fresh, with just enough sugar to accent rather than overpower the beautiful matcha flavor. Huge shoutout to Gabe and the Little Ox Coffee staff!!!!

They didn't have a huge menu, but a good selection with some interesting offerings, like a pandan latte, which I enjoyed very much. One of my friends got a matcha latte and the other an iced americano. Drink prices were very reasonable for the quality, definitely cheaper than in LA County. On a Tuesday afternoon it was mostly high school and college students working, so us three middle-aged ladies felt compelled to keep our cackling down to a minimum. It was an open, airy place, not too large, with a large table in the middle with bar and bench seating around the perimeter. They also had a glass walled area with another large table, almost like a conference room with more people working. We sat at one of the bench areas by the wall, which had little round tables and stools. Can't say it was the most comfortable for prolonged sitting, but it was ok. All furniture was wood; if you're looking for cozy upholstered seating look elsewhere.

The variety is definitely one of the strongest points here. We tried the Matcha Cruffin, Onion Cream Bread, and Three Cheese Bagel. The Onion Cream Bread was the best of the three. The cream was light and balanced well with the bread, but the onion flavor was pretty much lost. I could barely taste it. The Matcha Cruffin was disappointing. There was matcha powder on top, but absolutely no matcha filling inside. I'm not sure if they changed the recipe or simply missed the filling in ours, but for something sold as a matcha cruffin, I expected an actual matcha presence beyond the topping. The Three Cheese Bagel, made with cheddar, cream cheese, and mozzarella, had good flavor but the texture was much too hard. We were dining in and had it warmed up, yet the bread was still tough and the cheese inside had already hardened. Service was fine, but nothing stood out. Overall, great selection and a nice space, but the pastries we tried were inconsistent.
