"This café, bakery, and juice bar opened early last year, infusing Southie with an array of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern eats. The housemade breads (made with organic wheat flour) are excellent, from the braided olive stick that accompanies the shakshuka to the sesame bagel. The focaccia — fluffy and drizzled with olive oil — is dusted with za’atar, and showcases sumac and thyme from owners Mary and Nada Lattouf’s family farm in Lebanon. Co-owner and executive chef Brian Corbley also makes an exceptional version of saj, a thin Lebanese flatbread that’s pressed and cooked to order. It’s great as a sandwich wrap, or when dipped into creamy hummus. Be sure to order some sesame buns too, which are dipped in pomegranate molasses and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. Lulu Green is open for takeout via their website and phone, and delivery via Caviar, Grubhub, Postmates, and Uber Eats." - Nathan Tavares
