Update: We liked this place so much that we went back on our last day for a panini sandwich! (Added pictures)
25 degrees outside & we wanted some warmth. (We are from California.) Stopped for a latte but decided to get the caramel bananas crepe. Both were delicious. The owner & staff were very friendly!
Excellent service! Very friendly. Nice little café with awesome hot drinks. I had a French vanilla latté & it was delicious. Yummy carrot cake too. Definitely recommend.
The hotel where we stayed suggested this place. I was suspicious since it was literally around the corner. Was it suggested based on location or something else? Well. It is something else!
The staff were so friendly! My daughter ordered the crepe with strawberries & Nutella. I ordered the crepe with cheese & grilled vegetables. They were huge! They were delicious! I added a cup of steaming hot drip coffee & two fresh baked croissants as a snack later in the day:-)
What a wonderful way to start the day!!!
BTW-I was so excited to eat my crêpe that my daughter didn't get the chance to snap a photo of it.
Such a sweet little café close to the metro. Extremely friendly staff who were patient with us & encouraged us to practice our french with them. Food was delightful & the atmosphere was quaint & warm. A must visit
Second visit was just as wonderful as the first! We loved it Lulu so much we had to bring our friends to experience for themselves. Everything is fresh, the staff (including the owners) are so sweet & patient. Highlight of our trip!

J'en ai fait des restaurants déjeuner dans ma vie, & souvent ça se ressemble pas mal d'une place à l'autre. Mais ici, c'est clairement une coche au-dessus.
Les crêpes sont incroyables, les omelettes excellentes, tout est super bien fait. En plus, l'emplacement est parfait.
Si vous aimez les bons déjeuners, vous devez absolument essayer cette place.
I had the best crepe ever at Café Lulu. It was a new addition to the menu with pistachio cream & was absolutely delightful. Highly recommend.
The chai latte was fantastic as well!
Excellent moment passé chez Lulu, l'accueil est super sympa & les plats étaient délicieux avec un excellent rapport qualité prix 😋, merci encore pour votre accueil & votre bonne humeur 😜!
What can I say? Cafe Lulu is our FAVOURITE place to come in MTL.
We've travelled here often in the past few months & Lulu is a must-go for us. If the breakfast options don't get you, their Cajun chicken sandwich is to DIE for & is something I always need to have before we travel home.
The staff are the most welcoming in the city we've seen by far. They even remembered us multiple times when travelling!
