    Sandwiches with friends in the cafe

    Quaint little cafe in the back of the consignment stores near Bremo Road Pharmacy. Took a while to figure out location but they do have a small sandwich board directing you to the cafe. Lots of sandwich options and all priced very well. I got a hot sandwich which was great and the red skin potato salad and a sweetened peach iced tea. Refills were plentiful and free... service was quick even with a packed cafe! I highly enjoyed lunch here the day before the Monument 10k and it was a great place for the 6 of us to hang out!! Highly recommend

    Dined for lunch with a friend today. Was very excited about checking out the place as the menu online had so much to offer. After entering the antique mall, we had a hard time finding the spot as we missed the sign on the sidewalk pointing us in the right direction. Once we arrived we were promptly seated and given menus. Unfortunately what is listed online is not what was available. It was a much more limited offering but still had some good options. I went with the ham & cheese rolls that came with a with salad and a cup of soup - I chose pumpkin bisque. My friend ordered the chicken salad sandwich with a side of pasta salad. Both meals were so tasty! The chicken salad sandwich was a monster. My friend had to take half home. My meal was just enough and too good to not eat all of it. The service was attentive and the cafe wasn't loud or crowded. I will definitely be back again soon!

    A really cozy quaint space that serves excellent food! Lulabelles is a small lunch spot located in the back of a Antique furniture shop. In a big strip mall with plenty of space parking is not an issue. A first it feels a little odd walking through a furniture spot but hidden inside is a gem of a spot. When I got there they were in the middle of a lunch rush, and with 2 servers getting seated and getting our order taken wasn't the most seamless endeavor. But I have been before and chalk the lack of service on a short staff and plenty of customers. On to the food. They have a board of revolving specials and deserts. I had the chefs salad and my wife had the Estelle. We also ordered some of their specialty drinks, Peach Sweet Tea and Lavender Lemonade. Everything was very delicious. At the end of the day this wasn't the first time I've been here and definitely won't be the last.

    It's like a secret! Cute hidden cafe behind antiques treasures. Servers are friendly and run the little cafe so smoothly. This is my favorite place for a relaxing lunch during the week - the supreme soup and salad spot. Highly recommend the chicken salad and daily soups.

    Complimentary dessert for the graduate. ‍

    We celebrated our graduate over a delicious lunch at Lulabelles. It was the perfect place to celebrate. They have so many choices for any diet. And the service is friendly and helpful with making choices from their vast array of options. And it is super cute and cozy!

    I loved their old location in Westhampton, and I love their new location inside Project 1 off Staples Mill/Broad. This is a GREAT lunch spot--soups, salads, quiches, flatbreads, desserts, coffee... Nothing too heavy, and everything I've tasted so far is tasty. Rustic, casual atmosphere. Fair prices. They close at 3 p.m. When I went the first time (at this location), it was 2:45 p.m. and there were no other customers there. The girl told us they close at 3. We asked if we should leave. She told us it was up to us. Then when we decided to stay, she kept hinting at us to hurry up. I ordered flatbread. She warned us that it took 10 minutes. That wasn't a problem for me, but apparently it was for her. I missed the cue initially, but after she kept talking about closing out her drawer and there being no soup because they turned off the burners a while ago, I realized that they try to get out of there at 3 on the dot, not just stop admitting diners. The very next day, I went back and got a different waitress. It was around 2:30 p.m. and quite packed. That time, I got no feeling that anyone was being rushed out. I was in and out by 3! Anyhow. Enjoy the salads. And spicy deviled eggs. And the Megan is a great sandwich, too. The pumpkin bread was just average as was the Thai chicken soup.

    This is a really comforting little place in a terrible location. It is tucked in the rearmost area of a home fashion store, in a 1950's era strip mall that has been converted into an antique mall (with a neighborhood pharmacy hanging on at the end.) We have now been twice -- once pre-corona, once for quarantine take out. Our first trip, I looked at the menu beforehand was pretty interested in some of the selections. My heart sort of sank as I realized where it was, and even more as we walked through the store looking for what I now believed would be a snack counter. Boy, was I wrong. Great sandwiches, soups, and salads. Daily specials that are off the beaten path. Just really nice touches and unexpected ingredients things that make you say "I would have ordered this anyway and it would be fine, but man doesn't that (insert surprise ingredient) make this outstanding?" The space is walled off from the storefront, so you feel comfortable and welcome. The staff is very friendly and willing to take adjustments to orders with a smile. Second trip was curbside during the virus. The food was up to the previous standard and was ready when promised. I am so glad Lulabelles has been able to hold on during these challenging times. We'll be back.

    Pimento cheese biscuits
    Lisa C.

    Lulabelle's location in the back of an antiques store gives it a bit of the feel of a drugstore counter from a bygone era. On the other hand, the food is a 21st century twist on comfort. At $9 the Pimento cheese biscuits served with a cup of soup and a mixed greens salad was a bargain. I chose the roasted red pepper corn chowder. All were delicious but the soup not the biscuits were what I envisioned. I would definitely call the biscuits rolls and the soup had more potatoes than corn so would have been more accurately called roasted red pepper and potatoes. The roast beef on a brioche bun with garlic aioli and jalapeño relish was delicious. The flavors melded beautifully. For dessert we had a chocolate-covered orange ice cream sandwich. The ice cream was perfect - a citrus color with a hint of tart. A unique concept that truly hit the mark

However, he loves his condiments so he would probably order a side of Italian dressing with his lol. I got the farm stand grain bowl, which I thought was fantastic but the roasted chicken I added to it was disappointing. I think because it was roasted, but then refrigerated it got a gamey chicken aftertaste, which kind of messed with the flavors of the salad. It was the first time I've never finished the protein in a bowl I've ordered, which felt like a big waste of $ but I really loved everything else in the bowl-could use more grapes though . The goat cheese was a perfect compliment with a creamy flavor that was not too sharp or distracting. I'm not a fan of strong goat cheese.

I said for all of that just give me the whole (which I won't eat because all I can eat is half, hence me ordering half). They told me they didn't know why they were the same price (ish). When I get home I call customer service to express my concern on the prices and how I felt they were pretty much stealing from me because if you are using 1/2 the ingredients there's no way you should be charging me full price. No way! Not cool at all Jason's Deli. Anyway, corporate customer service told me "thanks for your feedback, have a nice day and HUNG UP!" What in the world do y'all got going on. You lost a customer 1st on price gauging and 2nd your corporate customer service. You should be ashamed. For the record, I called back 3 more times to speak to a customer service manager and couldn't get anyone to answer the phone.

We were pushed to eat even half of our sandwiches within the hour my dining partner had for lunch. The server did not check back after dropping the plates, which could have been an issue if we needed more water. And getting the check was a challenge that took way too long considering how small the place is. This is a decent place to grab a sandwich or a drink if you have the time or live in the neighborhood.
