It is attached to the laundromat so when we first arrived we weren't sure about where to enter but we found the entrance. Upon arriving, they were working hard on some pick-up orders. We were not in a hurry so we went to sit down. They explained to us that it was going to be a wait while they finished up the orders which was not a problem and quite frankly, I appreciated them letting us know. As soon as they were down, they came and took our orders. Service was great. The food was warm and tasty. I got a skim vanilla latte which was hot and tasted very good. We all ordered the breakfast bagel sandwich, mine was with ham on an everything bagel. Bagels & Brew was clean and quaint. Food was good and so was the coffee. The reviews speak the truth regarding this place.

Especially in Marshall where we can drive up and down East College looking for something to eat only to return home empty handed. We're opinionated and indecisive, with a little MN nice thrown in. Dereck's store has something for everyone: dried fruits, jewelry locally made, candles, fresh meats, grains, teas, coffees all labeled with their origins, essential oils, chocolate, local books, the whole shebang. It's clear that Dereck cares about his customers and his products equally. If you live in town or are just driving through, pop in. If there's something for our ragtag band, there's undoubtedly something for you.

She then tells us our order is $14.51. We were shocked by the cost so we tried getting her to confirm the price at the drive thru before pulling up to the window but she would not respond. Third: she made our drinks before taking our payment so when we told her we only ordered 1 cookies and cream and not 2 that we saw she made she was like "well the screen says you ordered 2.... but that's fine I will take it off" said in an annoyed tone Fourth: she hands us our drinks, with the cooler obviously spilling and does not offer to give us napkins and tried closing the window quickly but i called out before she could to ask for the napkins. Fifth: she gave the wrong type of straw for a cooler designed with cookie chunks in it so I couldn't even enjoy my drink as it was intended. Needless to say not a great experience.

There's also a nice outdoor area (see pic) right next to the entrance. We ordered 2 of their seasonal drinks - pistachio latte and PB cup espresso shake. Both were amazing. I also tried the amaretto latte which was great. The reason I scored it 4 instead of 5 is because the service was slow and it was $24 for 3 coffee drinks which seems a bit steep. But definitely check it out because the drinks are tasty! They also appear to have a solid breakfast/lunch menu.

The small sign outside says "Welcome home friends" which hints at the overall atmosphere you'll experience at this popular Willmar coffee shop. Old guys with bald heads and white chin beards gather around a small table on the patio to sip coffee, discuss their golf game and gripe about the rising cost of home owners' insurance. Nearby, a couple of moms in yoga pants catch up before launching into their busy day. Inside, a 20-something works remotely at a table not much bigger than her laptop. And there's me. A not-so-young-anymore dad from the cities with nothing better to do than hunt for a good espresso and write wordy Yelp reviews. I ordered a daily brew, my usual, which was fine. TBH not any better than coffee out of my Keurig. They had an espresso category on their chalkboard menu but I didn't see that a simple cup of espresso was an option. I could be wro Nevertheless, it's the vibe of the place that makes Lu Lu's so special. Set in an old house? Gas station? Country store? I don't know, but I love the friendly, homey feel. The different rooms have your usual tables and chairs, but also comfy oversized chairs, couches and love seats. Want to work remotely? No problem- tables and chairs of all sizes. Want to hang out and chat with your bestie or curl up with your favorite book (or electronic device)? Check! Looking for a cozy patio surrounded by potted plants? Got you covered. (Literally, the patio is covered by a lattice pergola covered in vines that crest a nice shade on a sunny day). I also love that the walls are covered in employees' artwork. Some of it is even for sale. The decor is well curated country chic with lots of live plants, cute antiques and I feel like there's got to be a cat quietly snoozing the day away somewhere around here. (Probably not really, but it wouldn't surprise me to feel something furry brush up against my leg). Lu Lu Beans coffee shop is as if your oddly hip grandma was a tattooed, big city barista who decided to start a new life in Willmar after working for Martha Stewart. It's a good thing.

We bought the chocolate dipped Oreos, all varieties of fudge for a 100th birthday present, caramel, and tried the black and white mocha - everyone that received them raved on how good they were! The service was excellent, they went out of their way to individually wrap, label, and put ribbon on boxes of fudge we bought as presents. There's a lot of space in the store, and it's set up with individual tables to enjoy coffee, tea, or Italian sodas. We'll stop in again when we head north!

It was very quiet today (July 26th, 2025), we were pretty much the only ones there so we got to browse the gift shop and sit wherever, unimpeded, while we enjoyed our food. I'm pretty picky so I went with the ham & cheese w/ bacon and the grilled cheese w/ bacon off of the kids menu and they were really good, albeit a little pricey for a simple, half sandwich each. The cookies and cream shake was quite good to go with it. I heard glowing reviews about the Uffda, in particular, as well as the coffee. The sauce on the Yayoubetcha "made the sandwich" from the sounds of it. The green apple shake was "tangy and delicious" and they both "loved it". Very enjoyable atmosphere overall and the staff was very friendly. I'm not a big coffee shop guy myself, but I could see myself coming back. Certainly better than the franchise coffee shops; gotta love a local, thematic, small-town business!
