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!
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!
Ils ont aucun respect....Je vais à cet endroit là depuis plusieurs années. J'ai suis allé pour le déjeuner en revenant de voyage aujourd'hui. J'avais l'intention de dîner aussi là-bas en attendant mon souper du nouvel an: j'irai au Starbucks. J'ai commandé deux breuvage & un bagel au saumon. Le propriétaire m'a demandé de sortir. C'est inacceptable. Mon sandwich était fruits & j'en passe. J'allais là-bas depuis leur ouverture. Ze
Brunch excellent ! Sandwich aux noix de cajou exquis & pleins de saveurs , assiettes bien garnies , crêpes délicieuses ,
Service adorable , n hésitez pas !
Les sandwichs sont vraiment bons, avec pas mal de saveur très intéressante proposé! J'ai pris celui au legume grillé & fromage qui était excellent. Mon conjoint a pris le bagel qui était très bon également. La crème est parfaite & copieuse ! Les prix sont très corrects.
Enfin, le service est vraiment agréable, les gens qui y travaillent sont souriants & très gentils.
Je recommande fortement de s'arrêter pour manger un bout!

Je suis venue pour un petit déjeuner & je suis revenue après pour déjeuner. Tout est très bon : pain doré & sandwich boeuf cajun. Les salades sont également très bonnes.
Les personnes qui nous accueillent sont adorables & très gentilles.
This is a lovely little spot. The cafe team are very friendly & kind, & the atmosphere is relaxed & welcoming. Their cappuccino & bagel sandwich was a perfect start to the day. Merci!!
My kids & I were very happy here! A great bagel & cream cheese; a massive Nutella banana crepe, & a fantastic cajun beef & pepper baguette sandwich. Easy, quick, & very yummy.

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.
Je cherchais un sandwich pour emporter dans le bus & je me suis retrouvé par hasard dans ce café: quelle chance! En plus d'y trouver un bon sandwich au poulet & un délicieux café, j'y ai rencontré des employés charmants & attentionnés. Je recommande ++ cet endroit & reviendrai avec plaisir!
Very cool place & the food was much, much, better than what I was expecting. I'm from Arizona in the U.S.A, & I have to say. The bagel sandwich I had was the best I've ever had anywhere in my life. I've had Cafe sandwiches in California, Arizona, North Carolina, Oregon, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, & nowhere has been that good.
