    Gingerbread Man latte, gingerbread cookie, molasses cookie
    Kimberly W.

    I'm pretty sure someone recommended this place to me years ago, but I just now made it here to enjoy gingerbread latte season. It's a very unassuming shop, sitting in a strip mall, but they pack in some seating to make it tempting to stick around in. It was actually relatively busy when I arrived on a weekday morning, but I made it up to order when there was a gap, so I was able to order right away. I ordered their version of a gingerbread latte and a couple of cookies, and I barely had a chance to look around before my drink was ready. I thought the coffee and sweets were good. The pricing was comparable to what you'd see at a lot of coffee shops, so yeah, it's not inexpensive, but I quite enjoyed my drink. Could definitely see myself stopping by again

    Lulus is an underrated coffee shop in Indianapolis. The place is not talked about enough! They have super tasty seasonal drinks. I got the Croah which is a latte with espresso, strawberry, earl grey, and honey. The staff were nice. Only complaints in my opinion are not enough comfy seating and I wish they had some sort of loyalty program. They do have a ton of fresh baked goods and quiches. The company does also oppose which is another main reason to support them

    Yogurt parfait!

    Came to Lulu's for the first time and the coffees = AMAZING! We grabbed the burrito, yogurt parfait and one of the pastries, and everything was so good. Wish we lived closer because this place is truly a hidden gem!

    I can't believe I've missed this cute coffee shop, especially living on the nw side! My co-worker recommended we meet here for a quick meeting. Very friendly service, with a 90's coffee shop vibe! The foot traffic stayed steadily busy with several tables filled with customers. They have such a vast variety of flavors, food and treats. I got the seasonal Winter Wedding hot coffee with the egg and cheese sandwich on an English muffin. The iced sugar cookie tempted me so I added that to my order ... it was good! The coffee wasn't as sweet as it sounded so I really appreciated that!

    LuLu's has been around for a long time, and since I moved, I only visit when I'm in the area. They are located between Planet Fitness and Nina Nails. The staff is friendly and dedicated to making your experience enjoyable. My usual order is a chai tea, but on this occasion, I opted for the featured matcha. While it was good, it felt like it was missing something. I also noticed that, like many other coffee shops, their prices are reaching an all-time high. Despite that, I will continue to support them as long as I can. I particularly enjoy their decaf coffee drinks, as well as the quiches and pastries. It's definitely worth returning for. Go check them out.

    Cute little coffee shop and bake house near st Vincent. I usually can't come here because they close at 3 and that's when I get off. Their coffee is amazing. I got a hazelnut pistachio latte and eeyores gloom. Both were delicious. Gloom was a little sweet but yummy and the latte was yummy and nutty. I also got a cookie butter cookie. I hope to go again for coffee sometime. They have the best combinations. Oh and the customer service is happy go lucky!

    Cinnamon Toast
    Luke W.

    Boggles my mind how they figure nine dollars for a chai, I noticed some cheap sugar powder from a plastic box was mixed into cinnamon, coconut milk, and hot water for my cinnamon toast crunch drink. It was sucrose flavored tea. Absolutely right on for Dunkin Donuts or most anywhere without a care for at most four dollars. I used to think Provider and Coat Check Coffee downtown were getting sassy with similar prices for their house made milks, syrups, and fine brew however this place certainly wins on shameless price gouging. I was happy with the many outlets for my laptop, upbeat chirpy service, and good location however no way could any deep pockets ever accommodate less than Starbucks quality for double the price.

    Did a morning errand, and saw Lulu's was around the corner. So glad I stopped. Did a Shot In The Dark that was outstanding - boldest coffee I've had in weeks. Their cinnamon scone was spot-on. Really a delightful little shop, locally run, women-owned ... ticks a lot of happy boxes for me. Definitely will return.

    Secret menu
    Aimee R.

    I had the sugar free vanilla latte and an egg salad sandwich. The bread was very fresh, very good sandwich. 8/10 The latte was good as well. 8/10 My mom ordered a bagel sandwich, I'd say hers was a 4/10 though. I didn't see it until after I ordered but they have some good suggestions on their secret menu.

    Cute waiting area
    Jennifer D.

    This is a cute coffee shop I almost drove right by! It's in a little strip mall very close to Fresh Thyme. A lot of people were enjoying coffee in this relaxed shop, but there was no long wait and there were still empty seats. It was a nice vibe all around. I was going to say that my favorite thing was the festive holiday drink menu (Fa-la-la Latte? Yes, please), but it was really the service. Wish I had gotten the barista's name - he was so friendly! Definitely recommend stopping in.

    Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. Good.
    Katherine A.

    Lulu's is a hip little coffee shop that is a welcome alternative to the popular chains. They are located in a strip mall and attract local regulars, work out people and hospital staff. The staff is super welcoming and friendly. The coffee is good and they also serve a few sandwiches, tempting quiche and assorted pastries. The food is made to order, but comes out fairly quick. The sandwich was tasty and toast crunchy. The bacon was pretty thin - you can see through it. But the sandwich hit the spot. They have about eight tables inside and a couple outside (where you can bring your pup). Most people opt for carry out. They are offering assorted fall themed coffees at this time. Serving in paper cups and real plates.

    They have decaf.
    Wanda H.

    Once again, because I only got a coffee, I don't feel really qualified to give a full fledged review... BUT, the fact that they serve decaf is VERY much appreciated! And mine was delicious. Service was good and it seemed like a nice place to hang, if you had the time. Would definitely come back, if in the area again.

    Why did it take me forever to check this place out?! It's spacious, has quite a few places to sit and do work. The playlist is great, they have breakfast options, more than just pastries. The two guys that were working had the BEST personality and would check on the clients that were hanging out. I tried their egg white, spinach and cheddar sandwich, which wasn't anything I'd get again. I'm sure the egg patty was one that comes from the frozen section, which is fine when I do it at home. They have quite the menu for coffee as well that I'll need to come back to try. They have a few that were the top sellers last year so of course one must try them all and a pastry of course. Also for those of you that like to work in a cafe, they do offer free WiFi for 3 hours. You can purchase more after that. It's a nice space with plenty of options and great service. They also allow dogs inside and have pup cups, from what I saw. Looking forward to going back again and trying some new things.

It is a bit challenging to find parking but there are a few spots in front. I parked down the street and walked which is always an option. There are a few stairs to get in but also a ramp, and the set up has a nice aisle like space for the line and plenty of tables and chairs. It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee. I would for sure go back and even bring a friend! In fact I've already mentioned it to several people as a potential meet up spot! Definitely something to enjoy!

Started with Ika Geso Kara-Age: crispy but soft at same time with good flavor; Popcorn chicken: very tender meat with good after taste in the batter. These 2 doesn't even need a sauce to enjoy. The shrimp tempura is just ok, it's something you can get at Trader Joe's (it's exactly the same). The main courses are Shoyu chicken ramen: the soup is so good and flavorful. That aftertaste that hits the back part of the palate. The Pork Tonkatsu Omurice combo: presentation was great, the sauce wasn't overwhelming and actually made everything good. The menu is overwhelming, but everything we had was great and very filling. Definitely will come back. Service was attentive but not intruding. It's also great to have a call button in the huts.

The vibe here is very warm, with a colorful interior and a basement area that offers additional tables and quieter spots to work. I love that they make all of their syrups in house.

I also ordered a lemon mint refresher, but they were out of mint so it would just be a lemonade. That was fine and I appreciated how she handled the situation and that she knew what Prufrock did and did not have in stock! She was great at communicating when I walked in that she needed a few minutes and then would be able to help me too. Another time I went with my parents on a late morning Saturday. My mom and I both loved our drinks, but we knew what to order. There were multiple people working behind the counter, but the barista taking orders was not friendly or very helpful on this particular day. My dad did not know what to order and asked what tea is refreshing and is one that the barista would recommend. The barista said that the green tea is really popular, but did not ask whether he wanted it hot or iced or give a recommendation for that. The tea came out hot on a hot day where we planning to walk the Monon and check out other local businesses. To be fair, I did ask him if he wanted me to ask for the drink to be remade or to get him a new one as I had overheard his order and also assumed it would be coming out iced. He said it was fine (but then complained on our walk). This was a bit disappointing. There have been times I have walked out after a few minutes of no acknowledgement from baristas here. It is not a cafe that I would want to sit in and work in as a lot of the space does not look workable. The last time I did come in with papers I planned to read in between appointments, I did not want to put my bag on the floor or my papers on a table because both were dirty. The book page wall has seen better days and would benefit from a revamp. I love the outdoor area though and the can tops are really cool. There is a lot of potential here, but when staff appears like they do not want to be there it makes customers not want to be there either. I would also urge the owners to be more receptive to criticism. The TikTok videos about Prufrock did not influence my review, but it did encourage me to leave my own review based on my own experiences.
