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)!
This was our second visit to this café, & we came mainly for the pistachio crepe, which is my husband's absolute favorite. Ever since he tried it here a couple of months ago, he hasn't stopped talking about it. So, on our way back from Quebec City, we made a special stop in Montreal just to have it again. The man at the counter with glasses is always so kind & welcoming, & the rest of the staff are just as warm & friendly, which makes the whole experience even bette

Friendly staff & delicious selection of food! We really enjoyed our breakfast here on our first day in Montreal. The crepes were absolutely delicious & well presented. The lady who served us behind the counter greeted up warmly & even wished me a happy birthday on the way out once we finished eating!
We easily got a two person table & were served food not long after we ordered at the counter. We would definitely recommend!
Café Lulu is the perfect place for everything breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoons & dinner.
All the food is made fresh in house & sometimes right in front of you (like eggs, omelettes & crepes).
We are here almost every day of our vacation & will come again!
Right in the heart of the Village Montreal.
Inside & outside seating.
Very friendly staff.
I had a croissant that was perfectly flaky & buttery pure heaven! The cozy vibe & friendly staff made it the ideal way to start the day. Definitely a place I'd return to again & again.
My brother & I visited this café for brunch. Cozy place & has friendly staff. We weren't sure what to order so we picked 3 sandwiches with crab salad on the side. I didn't like the curry chicken sandwich but still ate it nonetheless. Everything else was delicious.
