Overall, reviews describe Café Lulu as a warm, welcoming spot with a cozy vibe where crepes, breakfast and brunch are made fresh and the coffee is a hit, and where friendly staff make guests feel at home; the menu features standout pistachio crepes, Nutella with strawberries, croissants and a variety of savory options like ham and cheese omelettes and Cajun beef sandwiches, with many visitors calling it a must visit in Montreal and praising generous portions, good value and reliable service, though a few reviews flag occasional long waits, variable drinks and rare concerns about cleanliness or price.
Hands down THE BEST CAFE in Montreal. Reasonably priced, excellent menu choices (vegetarian options), & the absolutely sweetest staff I've ever encountered. Staff make an effort to remember their customers even if they are tourists returning daily for breakfast.
Seriously, Cafe Lulu needs a t-shirt! I would totally promote this culinary gem ❤?

Absolute gem! Had an excellent breakfast & drink here (would highly recommend the hot chocolate - so good!!) & the staff were very friendly, accommodating & understanding. Sitting outside by the street made for a lovely, calming breakfast experience.
Great spot but YOU CANT WORK WITH LAPTOP THE MORNING! Which I find no necessarily bad in a super crowded place but the cafe was half empty I wasn't bothering anyone worst to worst the owner (who is really kind) could have told me ok you can work but only for 2 hours. Be flexible, I spent 28$ for my breakfast.
Café Lulu truly exceeded our expectations & became one of the highlights of our trip to Montreal. From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly warm & welcoming, creating a friendly & relaxed vibe that made us feel right at home. They were attentive without being intrusive, & you could tell they genuinely care about their guests having a great experience.
The food was absolutely fantastic - beautifully presented & even better tasting. Every dish we ordered was fresh, well-prepared, & full of flavor. I personally couldn't get enough of the Nutella-Fraises Crêpes - they were rich, indulgent, & perfectly balanced with the fresh strawberries. Definitely a must-try if you have a sweet tooth like me!
The atmosphere of the café was just as impressive - cozy, stylish, & filled with natural light. It had a welcoming charm that made it the perfect place to relax & enjoy a leisurely meal. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or just a coffee & a treat, Café Lulu offers a fantastic experience all around.
Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Montreal - we'll definitely be coming back next time!
Lovely little cafe with a great selection of breakfast options. We were greeted warmly & our omelette & Lulu Special were tasty & fresh. They also had gluten free toast which was a nice surprise. We hope to return! Thanks Cafe Lulu

Stopped in for breakfast & really enjoyed it! The omelet was flavorful, & the crepe was not overly sweet with plenty of fresh fruit. What really stood out was the staff-they were super accommodating, explained the menu, & made us feel welcome despite us only speaking English. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely a great spot for a good breakfast!
A quick stop for breakfast turned into a family favorite. Great service & delicious food! They were patient & friendly as we practiced our French. Highly recommend!
First family trip to Montreal & we found Cafe Lulu across the street from our hotel. Great food for us & our kids - delicious croissants, fresh made crepes & good coffee. We enjoyed lunch so much, we came back for breakfast & will be back again before we go home. Also, the staff is so friendly & welcoming & does whatever is asked to make your meal exactly as you want it - a big deal with 2 kids who can be a little picky at time! Would definitely recommend!!
