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.
Amazing experience! The staff was very friendly, welcoming, & professional. The service was quick, & everyone made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived.
The breakfast was absolutely delicious - fresh, well-prepared, & full of flavor. Everything we ordered was excellent. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food & outstanding customer service.
Super friendly & really fresh, delicious food . This place doesn't look much from the outside & we almost walked past but thank goodness we didn't . We saw the reviews which is why we visited & we are so glad we went in. Really tasty & well priced food . Wonderful staff.

The staff was very friendly & helpful. Chicken, mushroom & cheese crepe & western omelette were delicious. Very good lattes. I highly recommend coming here for breakfast if you are in the area!
If you want to start your morning feeling happy & refreshed in Montreal, this is the place to go!
There's something about the energy inside. The staff are genuinely warm, friendly, & seem like they actually enjoy being there, which makes a huge difference.
The cafe itself is small, but that's part of its charm. It feels cozy, intimate, & full of this quiet, joyful atmosphere that's hard to find. You walk in & immediately feel lighter.
The food was clearly made fresh, & you can taste the difference right away. Nothing felt rushed or pre-made. It had that simple, honest quality that makes you appreciate it more.
Also, I really appreciated that they took the time to explain the French menu in English without making it awkward or rushed. That kind of thoughtfulness sticks with you.
Overall, a small space, but full of happiness. Thank you!
Really memorable first impression of montreal :) This was the first place we visited during our stay & it could not have been a better start to our trip. Kelly was very welcoming & friendly along with the rest of the staff. The crepes & french vanilla latte were the highlight.
Merci beaucoup 🙌❤?
Guys, you seriously have to try this place for breakfast. You know how when the staff is actually friendly, it makes the food taste even better? This is a nice, cozy joint right in the heart of downtown & the owner is just an amazing host.
We showed up starving & started ordering everything on the menu-you know that feeling when your eyes are bigger than your stomach? The host actually stopped us & said,'I think this might be too much food for you guys.' I mean, who even does that these days? He was totally right, too; the portion sizes were spot on.
Everything was amazing, fresh, & came out so fast. We were a group of four adults & three kids-all of us'hangry'-& we walked out super satisfied & full of energy to go explore the city. Don't miss this one!

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!
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!

We are in Montreal & staying a block from here so we stopped in for breakfast. The staff were very friendly & we really enjoyed our breakfast here.
We all had crêpes & I had a coffee. My youngest son ordered a Nutella with no bananas & when they brought it to our table the lady said crêpe with extra bananas. It made me smile.
I'd definitely recommend this place, & we plan to have Breakfast again there tomorrow before we leave for New York because it was so awesome!
It was my first time in Montreal & I found this great spot right by my hotel. Coffee & food were both great & the staff was super friendly. I stopped in every morning & will definitely be back next time I'm in Montreal!
Had an amazing breakfast at Café Lulu in Montreal!
The coffee was perfectly blended, & the spinach & cheese omelette was beyond delicious. The staff were incredibly warm & welcoming - it truly feels like family the moment you walk in. Cozy, friendly, & full of good vibes.
A must-visit spot in Montreal - I'll definitely be coming back again (& again)!
