We've talked about going here for the longest time and finally a couple of weeks ago we stood in that long line that forms before every Sunday opening. Once the doors opened the line moved swiftly as parties were greeted and seated by an equally long line of servers. On a nice day, the patio fills up quickly but there are quite a few tables. The inside is actually much more spacious than I expected. We ended up on the patio as the weather was splendid. It was great for people watching all of the farmers market patrons. We started with their baked feta. A truly magical dish with delicious sourdough that acts as the perfect vessel to sop up the oils that coat the pan. We each ordered the pancakes and a side of sausage. We could have easily shared an order as they were super filling. I'm glad we finally made it here. Also their Hugo Spritz were so refreshing.
The service was great, and the food was so good. I got the royale breakfast sandwich which was delicious but doesn't compare to the hot spot breakfast sandwiches in the city. The addition of a caper type sauce, lettuce, and tomato on the bun feels more like a burger than an egg based sandwich, but still great nonetheless. I can imagine that they have a great dinner menu as well. Would love to come back and try.
To be around for nearly 30 years and still have this much hype is saying something. I stayed in an Airbnb a few blocks away from Lula for like a month last year, and every time I wandered by, there was a wait. Fast forward to last week, and I finally made it in. Cheers for me, guys. And now that I've been, I just want to come back. That food is good. So, so very good.... Vegan options galore, and not just some bullshit afterthoughts. The sweet potato soup with garlic was a great starter, especially with that perfectly thick bread. The "Tineka," a spicy peanut butter sandwich with all kinds of fresh veg, was another hit. Fresh, salty, beautifully toasted. Even the side of slaw was elevated beyond the norm. But the one I'll be dreaming of is the Chickpea & Fennel Tagine. Green harissa, golden raisins, preserved lemon, arugula, and more of that amazing grilled bread. My god. Tagine is a slow-cooked African dish that jams pounds of flavor into each bite, and this bowl was through the roof. The apertif menu? Bonus points for that one. It's cute, it's trendy, the staff knows their menu inside and out, and they have been bringing the culinary heat for nearly three decades. Keep doing your thing, Lula.
Returned for a second visit and was in line before opening. Secured one of the last available tables after they opened their doors. The food is decent here, but I wouldn't say anything blew me away. My coffee order got delayed, and even though it was one of the first things we requested, my drink didn't come out till we were halfway through our entrees.
We had a reservation on a Saturday night, and it was my first time at Lula Cafe! I absolutely loved the casual and beautiful space as well as the lovely outdoor patio. The ambiance was perfect with background salsa and cha cha playing for a perfect upbeat mood. We ordered some focaccia, clams, and the Vichyssoise for smaller items and had the pasta yia yia, ramps & wild rice, and the chickpea and fennel tagine. Everything was spectacular, and the favorite dishes of the group were the clams, the super unique pasta yia yia, and ramps & wild rice. Each dish had such unique flavors and complemented each other very well. For dessert, we all got a scoop of the London fog straciatella, which may now be my favorite ice cream flavor of all time. The service was on point as well and very attentive! Definitely make Lula Cafe a destination when in the area.
Most of our meals were of the run-and-gun type, so we figured we should make time for at least one classic brunch. We'd heard good things about Lula Cafe, so we decided to pop over on a Saturday morning. It was just after 9:00 but the place was already hopping. After a short wait, we were shown to bar-type seating near the back of the restaurant. It was perfect. I can never say no to a breakfast burrito, so we decided to share their Classic Lula Breakfast Burrito ("avocado, tomato, potato, cheddar, green chile soffritto, and soft scrambled eggs") and holy moly was it ever good. Every ingredient was above average and placed with care, and I was impressed by the perfectly-cooked eggs. (There was nothing bouncy about these eggs, that's for sure.) Because we're pigs, we decided to also share the Lox Toast ("house cured organic salmon, gribiche, lula seeded rye") and it too was very, very good. Finally, we each got the Fruit Cup and somehow it was also amazing. The fruits were cut really well and there wasn't a bad bite to be had. Yeah, I can see why Lula Cafe is doing so well. It's a really cool place.
Surprised it took me so long to try this place. Maybe it was too hyped up in my head but it was just ok. Vibe is cool and good people watching at the bar with the giant mirror. Went with the chilled spicy sesame noodle and wish it came with chopsticks instead of a fork. Really good flavors but was a little on the salty side. Bar service was fine and quicker than the 30 mins wait for a table during the weekday after lunch rush.
We went to Lula Cafe for brunch at the recommendation of a local friend. We arrived at around 11 on a rainy Saturday and the wait was estimated at an hour but was actually like 45 minutes. You can make reservations if you plan ahead. While we were waiting, we had seen the breakfast burritos come out, so I had to try them. They were a little egg heavy but still good. They're served with two salsas and sour cream and are probably the biggest portion there. Hubby got the Royale breakfast sandwich. He said it was exactly what it said but underwhelming. I had one bite and thought the bread was a little dry. That's all I remember about it. Daughter got the spring crepe, and it was the highlight of the meal. It's a yellow cornmeal crepe with lavender whipped ricotta, green strawberries, rhubarb and candied almonds. It was so good. Only wish there was more. There's an art installation on the walls featuring punny ball caps. Staff is really friendly.
I went during restaurant week and was soooo sad to find out they weren't offering their full menu. We were able to move to bar seating for a few more options, but overall most things I wanted to try I wasn't able to get. Everything we got ended up being good, but I was expecting to be more blown away after how hard it was to get a reservation. My favorite was the pasta yaya - definitely order this when you go!!! Our service was good too & the drinks were petty affordable! I can't wait to go back to try more things once I can order off their regular menu
The food here is delicious. I had a bit of the fennel custard bun and the cream filling paired nicely with the bun. I tried the beet bruschetta and the beets weren't overpowering at all. The cream cheese balanced the flavor and it was nice and refreshing. The rest of my family had the royale sandwiches and they loved it. I had the white corn polenta and if you do not like olives, do NOT order this dish. The olives overpowered the polenta. I pulled out about 10 olives, ate the polenta with my scrambled eggs but it was a lot. So I didn't finish it. Aside from that the service was great and it's a nice place to have brunch with friends and family! Would definitely go again!
One of the best brunch spots in Chicago and I now know why! Lula Cafe is a cozy brunch & dinner spot in Logan Square. They take classic brunch items and elevate them in a familiar way. Getting there right at open was no problem to snag a table. They have three separate dining areas which helps keep noise down; but, features a main kitchen/barista area centrally so all rooms can see the action. We started with a Chai Latte and their seasonal Sadie Hawkins Latte. The chai had a great spiced flavor to it and frothy top. My Sadie Hawkins Latte was subtly packed with flavor. The chocolate-cherry notes were perfect for a cozy/cold morning. Lula uses Metric coffee beans which is both local and highly awarded. For food, we shared the French Omelet, French Toast, and Classic Lula Breakfast Burrito. I have no notes for the French Omelet. If you have never tried one before, the craftsmanship and detail that goes into cooking one is impressive enough before you even taste it and fall in love. The egg is rolled with a creamy inside yet it is all egg. I thoroughly enjoyed the buttered baguette and greens to pair. The French Toast was our sweet treat amongst the options. The flavor combo was delicious and I actually preferred the dish without too much of the whipped cream cheese. The Breakfast Burrito was large and filling. The inside was cheesy and I loved the salsa verde it was paired with. It brightened all the flavors of ingredients inside the burrito. If the food and drinks weren't enough, the hospitality and service here blew me away. It strongly aligns with its Michelin Bib Gourmand status with the casual atmosphere, quality ingredients, unique food offering, and high service level. I cannot recommend Lula Cafe more when looking for brunch in the city! Tip: Try to come right when they open at 9am. When we visited, there was already a line of 25 people 10 minutes before open. Pro Tip: Nearby "Park Chicago" meter spots are free on Sundays.
WOW! Came here for brunch and it was excellent. Vibes were immaculate. I'll be thinking about this food for a long time. We tried The Royale and the Classic Breakfast Burrito. Both were delicious. Our friend got the French Toast and I tried that as well. Also delicious. I'm convinced there is nothing Lula could make that won't taste great.
Lula Cafe is a breath of fresh air, dedicating to using high quality and health ingredients. I have thoroughly enjoyed each dish ordered from here--namely their chicken and rice and chickpea and fennel tagine. You must try this restaurant! I expected by heading in at 2:30pm for a late lunch, the dining space would be less crowded but it was just as crowded as prime lunch hour which says a lot about the place! The only downside is a 20% tip is automatically charged to your bill. Businesses nowadays are getting out of hand with fees.
What a cute neighborhood cafe! My friend and I could not decide what to order as everything looked delicious. We ended up sharing the following and enjoyed all of them: * Rhubarb cornmeal scone with bay leaf tarragon honey butter * Potato 'nduja tart with Cheddar, caramelized onion, and honey * Smoked trout scramble with arugula, dill, cream cheese, house potatoes, and toast * Charred scallion biscuits with nettle gravy * Hibiscus labneh frozen yogurt Even though our stomaches were full, we were still eyeing other customers' dishes. One of these days, we will return and try the entire menu! read more

We were finally in the area and decided to see if we could snag a table without a reservation. Fortunately there was one available outside, but it was a cold and windy day - which took away a bit of the experience, but the food was still good. We tried the: - Cardamom Bun - Charred Scallion Biscuits - Pasta Yiayia - Classic Lula Breakfast Burrito Everything was excellent, big fan of the bun. Honestly the best I've tried in the city. The Pasta Yiayia was great as well, but would only recommend if you really wanted a pasta. If it's cold out maybe wait to get a reservation inside as the food will get cold pretty quick. read more
Had the best breakfast burrito of my life. Saw this place on tiktok but safe to say this spot is worth the hype! Would recommend coming a little early since it's pretty popular around brunch time. I ordered the breakfast burrito, definitely recommend this 100%. My friends ordered various sandwiches but they also had a grand time. All of us had a very crispy bread situation in our dishes, very wonderful. Ambiance is very homey and aesthetic. Definitely want to come back when I'm in the area. read more

I recently visited Lula Cafe for brunch with a friend, and overall it was a pleasant experience. To start, Lula operates on a no reservation policy so you need to arrive early to snag a spot. We showed up at 10:00 a.m. and were told there'd be a 40 minute wait. To pass the time we wandered over to Chiquelatte Chicago - a lovely coffee shop nearby. Unfortunately, we were yapping too much and missed the text notification that our table was ready. Fortunately, when we arrived 30min late, the friendly staff was accommodating and managed to seat promptly. The atmosphere at the Lula is delightful, filled with a lively buzz that enhances the brunch experience. Our waiter was incredibly attentive ensuring that we had a drinks and answering any questions. I ordered the "Royale" Breakfast Sandwich. While the components of the dish complemented each other well, I found the overall flavor to be a bit Bland and the baked egg itself didn't quite appeal to my taste. If there's a next time I'll definitely explore other menu options. read more

We came here for a birthday dinner and they had printed out a custom menu for my friend with her name on it! The night time ambiance is dark and romantic inside the restaurant. The food was fresh and carefully made. I ordered the sun gold tomato rigatoni pasta, which was a pretty standard and classic pasta dish. I liked the pasta yiayia dish which had a hint of sweetness but was unique in flavor. The menu had a lot of interesting choices but nothing that surprised or inspired me. read more

I've being coming here for the past 10 years for American brunch, and it never disappoints! Even classic staples that have stayed on the menu for years never get old, including the breakfast burrito, any French toast, the special pasties, pancakes. You can't miss with this place! And exceptional service read more

Others may like the cooking at this well regarded restaurant but the taste of food and presentation are on the bland side for me. Noice level indoor can be high because it is a popular place. Fortunately there is plenty of outdoor seating available. read more
Only needed a 10 minute wait for a Friday brunch. The ambiance is very lively and great for a friend group - though the music is too loud in my opinion. I was in a smaller table and it was frankly not very comfortable for a full meal.. The potato tart was a highlight! I also had the trout omelette and found it amazing, maybe just a little too salty. I would come back to try other pastries and the French toast if it's still there. read more

The yia yia pasta made with feta and cinnamon was unlike anything I've had before and was so incredibly delicious, unique and savory but the hints of cinnamon brought a complexity to the dish I'd never expected. The house kombucha was excellent too. Our party went on a Thursday afternoon and didn't have to wait for a table. It was great! Love the space, food came quickly, and the staff was super nice. read more
Great breakfast with vegan-friendly options! Sadly, I didn't find the food to live up to the hype (especially for the price), but overall, I still had a great time. Just make sure you go early on Sunday. Our hour-long queue had us shaking with hunger by the time we got food. To top it all off, the restaurant was crowded with people waiting for a seat while we were trying to eat. - AD read more
Brunch at Lula Cafe was stellar. Be warned: the place is popular (and rightfully so), so there's likely going to be a wait. They opened at 9, and when we arrived at 9:20 there was already a half hour wait. Luckily, we could grab seats at the bar (note: there is an expected process to getting bar seats-- check with the people who have been waiting before you, don't just pounce. I heard locals and regulars complaining about new patrons who didn't follow this etiquette and were making the experience harder for everyone!). The brunch menu consists of some excellent staples and innovative specials: we went for their french omelet, their white corn polenta with melted leeks (amazing), and their special French toast with anise-buckwheat streusel, grapefruit, whipped mascarpone. All of it was so good, so flavorful, so original, and served with friendliness and expertise. It was a perfect winter morning sipping lattes and eating comforting food (definitely worth the wait!). I look forward to going back for dinner service. read more

This place is good. It has a James Beard Award for hospitality, totally makes sense. When you walk in you are greeted by a warm smile and lots of people smiling. It was weird but nice. We got a reservation for brunch on a Saturday morning. It wasn't hard to get one. I got the breakfast burrito which was good. Although it was less burrito more wrap. It definitely needed more burrito flare like a pico or bean to egg ratio. It was good. I also got a latte which was tasty. We also got a bunch of pastries - highly recommend. This place is good. It isn't as hard to get into as people say (even for night reservations. It is kid friendly, and there were a lot of kids there. read more

Worth the hype and the wait! We went there on a Monday for brunch, and still had to wait for about an 1 hour and 10 minutes. Incredible food and even better drinks! Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The cocktails were delicious and so well crafted. Can't wait to come back! read more
"THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!" I went to Lula with some work friends and I almost wish I hadn't so I wouldn't have had to split all this food 5 ways Every single thing I tasted was phenomenal so here are the must-have's: - Kabocha Squash Soup (best soup I've ever tasted) - Baked French Feta - Chicken Liver Mousse - Pasta 'Yiayia' - Pecorino Cake (trust me it works lol) We had at least 3 more things and they were all tasty, so you're in good hands when you dine here. It was a great atmosphere and the service was great! read more

Came here on a weekday with my mom and some friends and we were seated promptly. We ordered the farro verde, French omelet, buttermilk pancakes and tofu and vegetable scramble. I loved the French omelet plate - the eggs were perfectly made and the stracciatella enhanced the silky and creaminess of the dish. The petite green salad was a nice side component to the plate. The buttermilk pancakes were shared by all four of us and were perfect texture-wise with a touch of sweetness. Our waitress highly recommended the farro verde dish and exclaimed how it was her current favorite item on the menu - two individuals in my party decided to go for it and unfortunately, the person who cooked this entree was too heavy-handed with the salt because both my mom and friend (who also ordered the same dish) exclaimed how overly salty it was. I tried a bite and while the dish was flavorful, also agreed that the saltiness of the dish overpowered the other flavors that set this dish apart from other options on the menu. Overall, good service and ambiance and aside from the farro verde entree, we highly enjoyed everything else. read more

We finally got to check this place out for brunch after being on our list for so long. We put our name down for our group and were told it would be over a 1.5 hour wait. Waiting for 1.5 hours just to eat sets up high expectations, but I'm glad to say that Lula met them. We were quickly seated in the back once we were notified our party was ready to be seated and we promptly were able attended to and looked over the menu. Although small, the menu had a lot of vegetarian-friendly options which is always a plus in my book. Plus the beverages and dessert options were also nice to have. Our party ordered the breakfast burritos, tofu & veggie scramble, tineka sandwich, peanut noodles, and the pasta yiayia. Safe to say everyone enjoyed their meal and their respective lattes and pastries. Our service was great and the lively atmosphere made for a great experience. Now we need to come back and check out the dinner here. read more
How have I not reviewed this restaurant ? I have been dining here since they opened in 1999. Love that they more recently started taking reservations. I'm guessing iv eaten here 12-15 times and have always had a solid meal. Tip - don't have each person get their own entree - share a few ( or more depending on the size of your group ). Standouts include the pasta yaya ( a combination of bucatini , cheese and cinnamon that surprisingly works well ), roast chicken ,fennel salad. We also had the tagline which is ok but not my favorite ( on the bland side ) . Service is good, prices are fair. Good place for comfort food. read more

i found this place from a reddit post on where locals favorite places were all around and where they would take their favorite ppl. and that's exactly the kinda place it is, you can see the attention to detail in the service, food, and curation of the environment. little did we know this is the only james beard awarded restaurant in the city of chicago.... if i could give them my own reward i would for the pancakes alone read more
Such a cute and quirky little place! We've been meaning to try for a while now and went for our anniversary and they gave us the cutest personalized menus! We started with the baked French feta and chickpea frites. The feta would've came close to being my favorite dish of the night, but the bread that came with it was really hard and crunchy which made it a little harder to eat but the olives and cucumber and feta part was absolutely delicious. The chickpea frites reminded me of falafel and were good but a little heavier than I expected. The béarnaise sauce was really good though. For mains we did the spaghetti and the brown butter pumpkin. When I saw pancetta in the spaghetti I assumed it would be like a carbonara, but that's because I stopped reading. It was very much not that, but very very good! Kind of like a Mexican pasta dish. The brown butter pumpkin was my favorite dish, though. The squash was delicious and buttery and the thin pear slices and mushrooms complimented it perfectly! For dessert we tried the carrot cake and it was pretty good, but I was super full by that point and didn't haven't too much though my partner loved it! read more

Our friends we were visiting raved highly of Lula Cafe, so we were thrilled to snag a spot for brunch during our time in Chicago! The wait was decently long, but luckily you can put your name on the list and leave the premises while waiting which worked out nicely. Once our time arrived, we were easily seated in the moderately / small sized cafe. The only downside of our experience was that we sat right by the door, so on a chilly Chicago day, we could feel all the elements. But no big deal, we kept our jackets on and powered through! The cafe has a welcoming and warm yet chic vibe - this is a spot I can easily see myself spending significant time in just hanging out. Service was solid (fast enough but not rushing us out, checking in on us in appropriate frequencies), and our server was helpful with recs. The menu was extensive enough for everyone to find their joy, and I loved the focus on seasonal and local ingredients. It was hard to pick my entree, but I ultimately went for hte French omelet. Featuring mushrooms and ricotta in the omelet and served with crusty bread and a simple salad, this felt classic and elegant - it did not disappoint! This was certainly one of the most excellently executed omelets I've had, and the texture / creaminess was second to none. It left me wondering how I could create such a dish on my own ... Sure, over $20 for an omelet may feel aggressive, but the quality was well worth it. My dining partners all enjoyed their items, each getting a different dish that I did. (my husband did note how excellent my dish was - he enjoyed his burrito but I think continued to dream of the omelet!) We didn't indulge in any fancy bevvies (just plain coffee) or pastries, but I would love to make it back again to try more of those menu items. I would also love to try Lula for dinner to get a different (yet I'm sure just as excellent) experience! Thanks for such a wonderful brunch during our visit to Chicago, Lula Cafe! read more
We put in our name at opening and waited for ~1hr to get in. We got coffee and waited at New Wave Coffee which was close by. As for the food, I would say it was yummy but not phenom. Maybe slightly overhyped. Don't get me wrong, the breakfast burrito is solid and so is the french toast. We also tried the earl grey pear cake which was light and flavorful. Interior was cozy and unique. May have to return for dinner to get the full Lula experience! read more
Finally tried Lula Cafe this past weekend! Since they don't take brunch reservations, the wait can be daunting - ours was an hour and 20 minutes - but on Sundays there is the farmers market right across the street and some other cute shops nearby to help pass the time. After our wait, my friend and I ended up seated at a little table next to an old piano being used as a bookshelf - so yea, the interior is eclectic cute. The menu had a lot of interesting options, but I ended up going with the summer vegetable polenta. It was a good, comforting dish but I'd try something else next time. My friend got the French omelette and really enjoyed it. For a drink, I tried their house-made lavender kombucha and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it! Our food came out relatively quickly and overall service was ok. Note: they do add 20% service charge to each bill and you can learn more about it on their website. After hearing so much about Lula over the years, I can't say I was particularly wow'd but it was still a solid brunch. I wouldn't wait over an hour to do it again but I will make a reservation to try their dinner fare :) read more
Such a gem!! Amazing variety and ingredients used, and such a fun spot in Logan! I got the panzanella salad, which was a special in mid-August and SO amazing!! Juicy, sweet, and the croutons and plums with it were next-level. The French toast also exceeded expectations. The peaches were perfect!! I will certainly be back to try more of the menu! Love a brunch spot that is decadent but doesn't leave you sluggish for the rest of your Sunday! read more
I can't believe it took me so long to check out Lula Cafe. A friend and I went for a midweek brunch and enjoyed sitting on the patio. While I initially planned on trying the breakfast burrito, the waiter recommended the Tineka sandwich. Consider me impressed! The sandwich was huge and so unique. I will go out of my way to return and try it again. We were also given some carrot cake and holy cow! It was so fresh and moist. I'm still dreaming of it. Please go check out Lula Cafe you won't be disappointed! read more
I made it to Lulas in Logan Square twice. Once for breakfast during the week and then for dinner on a Saturday evening. This is a cozy homely restaurant with an lively outdoor seating section. Service was great for breakfast, but could have been more attentive for dinner. I had polenta for the 1st time with field greens and roasted corn for breakfast. The polenta was creamy and smooth unlike grits. The vegetables tasted very fresh and felt farm to table. For dinner I had mafaldine with sungold tomatoes. The naturally sweet tomates brightened the dish along with fresh basil and parmesan. I tasted the wheatberry and lentil risotto and thought it was savory, dark, and firm for a risotto. I thought all three entrees were unique and flavorful in their own way. I ordered desert to go both times. The pistachio cookie was simular to a sugar cookie infused with a salted pistachio flavor. It wasn't my favorite because I'm not a fan of salty sweet food. The fruit danish was delicious and came with a marvelous raspberry sauce. The carrot cake was moist a delicious the 1st time, but not so great the 2nd time and it had the same raspberry sauce in it which was weird. So desserts can be hit or miss. I would love coming back to Lulas just because of the fresh food. read more

I don't think I'll ever forget this meal. Got lucky with a table right by the window to feel the warm November sun while sipping on iced tea and starting the meal with a flaky melt-in-my-mouth danish (I think I could eat one every day and not get tired of it). Had the French omelette that was on special for the day and my husband had the (also melt in your mouth) pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs. The flavors were without exaggeration--perfect. Wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you! read more

Amazing food and friendly staffs. Breakfast burrito was huge and definitely for 2 people. Quinoa bowl was so refreshing . Lovely place to enjoy brunch. Very close to blue line One thing to note is they do charge 20% service charge which includes tip. read more
SERIOUSLY, what is in those chickpea frites?! They're so tasty and addicting!! They're perfectly crispy and salty! We almost ordered another portion but decided we should actually wait until the rest of our meal came out lol. And I'm glad we did bc both the pastas were phenomenal! The spaghetti is such a simple sounding dish but they make it 1000% tastier. Who doesn't like pancetta with some cheese?! We weren't really fans of the chilled mussels but that's just bc we think mussels are better warm. It took everything in us to leave the restaurant without an order of spaghetti and chickpea frites to-go. You know, for our hungry child at home? Service was friendly and fast. And we've already tried to make another reservation but to no avail. Lula is just too damn popular bc it's so damn good! read more

Is this place lively or cozy? How is the lightning inside and noise levels here?
This place has been pretty lively the two times I was in there and it drove the noise level up a bit. The food is good and so is the service.
I'll be arriving here between 2-3 pm which menus will I get, I'd like to order both breakfast and from their cafe menu ? It's a bit confusing
I think you'll be ok. They serve breakfast until 230 pm get the potato pancake thing. #thehaveners
