Café Lulu is such a great spot in Bayview! My recent visit was nothing short of fantastic, from the food to the service. We started with the housemade chips with bleu cheese dip--crispy, perfectly seasoned, and the dip was creamy and tangy in all the right ways. For mains, we had the blackened shrimp Caesar salad, which was fresh and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice on the shrimp. The bahn mi sandwich with slaw was a standout: tender flank steak, bold flavors, and the slaw added a great crunch. To top it all off, we shared a piece of apple pie that was warm, perfectly spiced, and felt like a hug on a plate. Wish I would have taken more pics of the food as all of it was presented beautifully! A huge shoutout to Caleb, our bartender, for his friendly and attentive service. The cozy festive vibe, delicious food, and stellar service make Café Lulu a must-visit. Can't wait to come back!

Menu needs to be updated and this place needs to have better pictures. The place is pretty busy for a Wednesday night it's my first time going at this place. Ambiance was a little bright for me but it's very spacious. Food just good could have added more flavor on the marinate but I enjoyed it. Loved the home made chips though I didn't drink it had a lot of choices of locally brewed beers and good selection of wine.

I have been here several times. They have vegan options which is great. The menu is big enough to accommodate all needs. The cocktails are super fun. And our service was awesome. We sat at the bar, had some great cocktails and the trip of dips and Lulu chips. Everything was so good!

This spot is quickly becoming my favorite place to grab lunch in town. The servers are lovely, easy to pop in during the week and sit down right away. To-go orders are great too! Everything I've tried has been awesome. My top 2 items that I order every time are the potato chips and the Asian slaw. I've been sticking with the pita sandwiches for my main bc they're so great for lunch - East Indian, falafel, and the veggie are top tier. Eat here!

I was in the area and famished today and stopped @LuLu Cafe. It's been a little while, but I wasn't surprised by the quality of the meal (I had the special pork chop of the week..outstanding!), I was surprised at how comparatively inexpensive it was. From my experience, great value and easy to find at $17-$19 vs the $13 I paid.). Also, Bonnie our server was helpful and attentive. Great vibes here and we took advantage of the weather and sat outside. Clearly a 5+ experience!

After all these years of living in Milwaukee, this was my first time to Lulu. I have to say, it was my mistake. The food, service, and atmosphere was all wonderful. We were greeted immediately by a very welcoming host and then shortly after by a very friendly server. We sat on the patio and had a great time watching all the cars and bikers and people walking by. We ordered a beer each, the faux banh mi sandwich, and the East Indian chicken pita. We both ordered our sandwiches with "a little of each" of the homemade potato chips and Asian coleslaw. Everything was fresh and tasty. The steak on the faux banh mi was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed the level of sesame oil in the Asian slaw. It was a really lovely evening. I'll definitely be returning!

I'm changing my five star review for Lulu's because consistency is key in the restaurant business. Some of Lulu's sandwiches are great, and some of them are tasteless. The felafel pita and the Mediterranean steak pita are filled with multiple layers of deliciousness, while the East Indian Chicken pita and roasted vegetable pita have little flavor. It's hit or miss. The same goes for the service at Lulu's. Some of the wait staff are with it, tending to your needs, while others are spacey, not quite comprehending, off in their own world of "what shape is the earth? It must be flat, or we'd fall off." I like Lulu's, but I'm better off ordering the same thing every time and asking for a server's ACT scores before sitting down.

What's not to love about Lulu Cafe (Cafe Lulu)? Funky fresh vibe, art on the walls, good service and something on the menu for everyone. I don't come here often enough. Had a great salmon salad on special, recently. the Waldorf Salad is a perennial favorite, as is a flatbread, the Faux Banh Mi. The craft beer menu is great, featuring the best of the craft Midwest! This place is good for a friend meetup because volume levels are okay for a conversation.
