"One of the most welcoming places in Dakar, Lulu is run by two cousins, the fourth generation in various furniture trades, and the place is named for their grandmother, who fell in love with Senegal 20 years ago. The eclectic space functions as a home goods store, a cafe for breakfast and lunch, and a coworking space for locals and expats. The daily menu brings treats like a jerk chicken bowl or sauteed prawns with herbs. Check out the deli/market area too, where you’ll find jams made with seasonal fruits, cashews, sourdough, and even some salt from the famous pink Lake Retba." - Yasmine Fofana
