Then the cars in front of us left we got to the window & there was a sign that said closed. We were a bit disappointed for the fact that all of a sudden you just close. I called & the gal said oh we closed early because were running out of things. Pretty unprofessional for a holiday weekend.

Nice little drive-thru coffee hut located in the Green Lake Mall, just south of Green Lake in…read moreSpicer. They offer a surprisingly expansive coffee/espresso menu, plus smoothies, matcha, rishi teas, and uncaffeinated drinks. While the website states that they have pastries and food, I did not see them on the menu, but I was also solely interested in a caffeine fix prior to setting out on a 72-mile bike ride on a nippy morning. This is just a little hut, so you order outside and I ended up sitting in the sun on a curb in the parking lot to drink my nummy latte. The attendant (likely owner) was very friendly and accommodating.

I'm lucky she asked what I wanted. I believe this person hates humanity and loathed my presence in their shop. Though I'm not sure why as there was only one other person there on a Thursday at 2pm. I gave a $5 tip on my $4.50 coffee and there was absolutely no thank you or acknowledgment whatsoever. No 'have a nice day' or anything. This is completely inappropriate behavior when working at a non-corporate owned coffee shop.

What's not to like? Lu Lu Beans coffee shop in Willmar is one of the cutest coffee shops I've ever…read more"bean" to. Ha, ha. 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.
