Cafe Luluc

When I visited the restaurant I was impressed by the large portions and the quality of the food. 🍳The breakfast was really good and the meat for dinner is of high quality. 🥩 I tried the meat with the sauce separately and it tasted great. However, when the sauce is served with the meat, it overpowers the flavour. 🥞 As for the pancakes with fruit, I would rate them 3.5 out of 5. The pancake itself is large, but unfortunately the taste was not impressive - I expected more. Quality ingredients, but not enough creativity in the combinations. There may be a queue in the morning, but in the evening there are usually seats available. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant and cosy. 💲Breakfast is approximately 30$ and dinner is 50$ per person. Only cash is accepted 💵 All in all, it's a good place for breakfast or dinner and I'll definitely be back, hoping for an even better experience!

CASH ONLY! Finally got to try the supposed best pancakes and they were not the best i ever had but still pretty good. It's a long wait to be seated, mainly because it's a small restaurant and feels kind of cramped. the staff is nice and attentive and answered all our questions. the food took a while to come out and it was pretty good but nothing crazy and honestly not worth if it's a long wait. the food is kind of expensive too. i would recommend trying it but only if you don't have to wait a while.

Cute and decent place serving food in many options. Like their decor inside. FYI CASH only but price is reasonable. Overall food is delicious. Pretty classic but they made them well. 🥞Pancake was fluffy and buttery, but it will start to taste dry when cool down. Love the beautiful, thin crispy edge. Scrambled egg with salmon (with fries and salad) was also a classic but well done. Salad was seasoned well, and 🍟✨fries became my VIP today. Crispy, not oily with a thin layer of salt.

Breakfast was a succulent success. Fluffy pancakes that were already buttery (no additional butter provided or needed), sausage links, and choice of eggs, any style. The seating in the front part of the restaurant is a bit cramped, but there is outdoor seating near the front street and in their back patio. Well-suited for family dining inside the restaurant.

Cash only. Pancakes are great but please try their pasta. And im not even a big egg person but those eggs were 20/10. It can be a little crowded sometimes so bring patience with you.

I came here for the pancake. It was fluffy like many described it. However, I wasn’t mind blown. I also wanted to order sausage but was disappointed that they have pork sausage only. My sister ordered omelette with mushroom and asiago cheese, and it was pretty good. Also, the fires were perfect! The waiter gave me anxiety as he was always in a rush, but I get it the place is packed and he has to be on top of everything.

11am Saturday we got in without a wait. Cute brunch place with good drinks menu and the portions are nice. Cash only and they have an ATM inside. We got the salmon eggs benedicts and they were tasty.

The wait is far too long but I understood why soon after I was seated and tasted the pancakes. Very great brunch spot in Downtown Brooklyn. The prices are VERY reasonable. I’ll definitely be back again!

Came here with some friends. Not much of a wait surprisingly. The pancake was good, fluffy on inside and semi crispy outside. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict and the egg was WAY too cooked, there were no runny parts to that egg. Cheesesteak sandwich was normal, the meat was a bit on the dry side and a little bland. The Nutella French toast was way too sweet, too much Nutella inside. Overall it's ok place to try for brunch. Get the pancakes!

This is my most recent review as I have written a review before. I am delighted to report that Café Luluc continues to deliver. Read on... I dined at Café Luluc in Brooklyn last night with a group of four, and once again, it did not disappoint. We started with a variety of appetizers, including Escargot, French Onion Soup, and Guacamole--each one a delight. The escargot was tender and perfectly seasoned, while the French onion soup had a rich, deep flavor and a satisfying cheesy crust. The guacamole was fresh and flavorful, a nice touch for the table. For our main courses, we ordered the Pan-Seared Tilapia, Mussels, Fish Burger, and Pork Chop. The tilapia was cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior, and the mussels were served in a delicious broth that was perfect for dipping bread. The fish burger was hearty and satisfying, and the pork chop was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. To accompany the meal, I had a Dirty Martini--it was not as strong as I would have liked and that was my only disappointed. Another in our party had one of the $10 cocktail (only before 8:00). The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the ambiance of Café Luluc remains cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for a relaxed yet elevated dining experience. Overall, Café Luluc continues to impress with consistent quality in both food and service. It's a go-to spot in Brooklyn that never fails to deliver a great meal. We love it because it is in walking distance and one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood. I highly recommend trying their pancakes

This is my favorite place to eat pancakes! Their pancakes are always consistently divine! Super crunchy on the outside & super fluffy and buttery on the inside. I also love their side order of sausages & egg, madame croque & pasta! P.S - Cash only. There is an ATM in the back (near the bathroom area).

The food here is solid. Probably why this cafe has been in business for a long time. The service and the cleanliness is not however. At least not in 2024. I had not been to this establishment despite haunting cobble hill in the '10s. I think perhaps the cash only was a deterrent to me because I'm very good at loosing things so I never carry money. I got the chance to try this out for a casual lunch today. We were seated in the garden in back which gives French cafe vibes with its wicker or weaved chairs. The service back there was not efficient. I got served a coffee with a giant lipstick stain on my first attempt to drink coffee. I actually did drink said coffee before I realized I'm essentially kissing this stranger who made an impressively large lip print on my cup...which would probably be a deal breaker to certain people. It would have absolutely been to me but today for some reason I was chill about it. The food was quite good. I hadn't had gnocchi with such an assortment of vegetables in the past so I did enjoy this. The pancake is good and I am no pancake lover. However, if you have a OCD about cleanliness or do not carry cash which is probably a duality for people with clean freak natures then I would not try this place. It will probably turn you off!

I tried my first Aperol Spritz at CAFÉ LULUc today during a solo lunch treat. It tasted like something that should be used to clean tiles and counter tops. This was no fault at all of CL. I just really didn't enjoy that Aperol taste. I ordered tortellini with mushrooms and chorizo, tossed in a cheese sauce and sprinkled with grated parm. The pasta and mushrooms were sooo good! I should've skipped the tired chorizo which AGAIN, was not a chef's error. I keep trying to force myself to like chorizo because it looks and smells great in food but I just don't! There were a few things that bugged me-starting with bugs! Tiny little knats flying around gave me and another customer a bit of a rough time. This place is also cash only-like real, folding paper, cash only, which seems pretty outdated. The music was good though. Disco for the most part which went with the vibe. CAFÉ LULUc has been in my bookmarks since forever because of all the rave reviews about their pancakes. I should've just ordered the pancakes. Next time, I'll try the pancakes.

This is a great spot. I highly recommend coming in the morning or early afternoon for brunch on the weekends. They don't accept reservations. We arrived at 11:45am and we were seated at noon. I loved the quiche that I ordered. It was well seasoned and filling. The salad was lightly coated with dressing. There is a reason why this restaurant has an extremely long line on the weekends.

I can never try anything else. It's always the pancakes, it will always be the pancakes, it will never be anything else. I wish they weren't as archaic. I tried ordering online and the site didn't work, cash only, no reservations. It's too much and the main reason why I don't go as often. Delivery isn't as good as having them fresh. They are very soggy due to how they pack them.

Best Pancakes and Brioche French Toast, Hands Down!!! Lovely intimate restaurant and so happy to see they have outdoors space as well. Cafe Luluc has now set the standard for brunch food for me. The brioche French toast with the apple compote was so delicious. The pancakes were so fluffy and moist. Omg both you must try. The espresso martinis were more like a latte. The staff were very attentive and inviting. Lovely space! Important note: Cash only but there is an atm in the restaurant if needed

Came here for breakfast around 9:30 and it was already quite busy. We got the open face western omelette and French toast . The omelette was good but lacking in flavor. I added Tabasco which made it better. I liked that fries and greens that came with the omelette although the fries did taste old. The French toast was soft and dense and filled with Nutella in the middle. It was just okay though. Overall, the portions are good for the price. The inside has plenty of seating. The restaurant is light and airy. The service is okay, just no check ups after serving the food. The place is cash only but they have an atm.

This place was highly recommended by New Yorkers. I opted for the pancakes as recommended, but thought they were a bit too thick. The space is small and quaint and very busy. However, I would go back for the French toast.

My friend was dying to take me here on the morning of my birthday, so I figured why not. He boasted of coming here 7-8 times already and that their pancakes were an absolute MUST for a first timer. I told him I didn't even want to look at the menu, and told him to order whatever he was dying for me to try. We arrived 8:57AM, to be ahead of the line that apparently quickly accumulates for this place. We were behind one other couple and didn't wait very long at all to be seated. We opted for the booth in the far left corner upon walking in. We were handed the menus shortly after. I didn't even both to look it over, and let my friend order. We got the pancakes with fruit and a side of nutella, as well as the pulled pork sandwich with a side of fries and salad. Coffee was a non-negotiable. The clear star to me was the pancakes with the fruit and nutella. Crispy on the outside and light as air on the inside. No syrup was needed; the experience reminded me of one big crepe. Highly recommended to share; they are HUGE! Also, they are very Instagram-able so take those pictures before digging in! The pull pork sandwich just didn't do it for me. I couldn't figure out what exactly was missing from it. Maybe it needed more crunch or more umani, but this was just okay for me. I loved the side salad! Very fresh and well balanced with dressing. This place is CASH ONLY and they do have an ATM in the back by the bathrooms if your pockets are empty. The staff come by frequently to refill your coffee which is always nice. Think of this place as a diner but better lighting, better food, and with a welcoming ambiance.

Oou! Luluc! Yelp! Does it again- I searched for blueberry pancakes, I sifted thru the list, and I brought myself and my husband here. It was the right choice. To our surprise, we were seated immediately, outside with a fan to ourselves. We ordered a quiche meal that came with fries and salad. And ofc, pancakes. Fries- perfect. Salad- perfect, not overdressed!!! Pancakes- perfect- texture was everywhere. Quiche was mushy and burnt. Overall, a great brunch showing. Two word review: get pancakes!

When I visited Montreal, cafes like this were a dime a dozen, French style, small, intimate setting, and offerings for all palates. This restaurant does the same thing, with a slight American flair, and costing more. Like 1/3 the price more. The food is delicious, and the portions are generous if you are willing to pay for it. Skip the juice as it is tiny and quite expensive. However, the entrees are plentiful despite the high cost. The pancakes, though you only get two, are fresh and have a nice airiness to them. I think they use a sour starter for these, but they work well because the topped mixed fruit is very fresh along with the small dusting of powdered sugar. The sunny side up eggs and four little sausage links are the perfect accomplice to this criminal dish. Everything was perfectly cooked, lacking a lot of grease that eggs and sausage can notoriously leave behind. For the sake of science, I poured a little bit of the syrup onto the pancakes, something I never do. The syrup is great, whether or not they get it from Vermont, Canada, or elsewhere is irrelevant. It adds a sweet note to this already satisfying dish. A fair warning though, well, actually two. 1.) The restaurant gets busy early, you could wait a while for a table to open up or your food to arrive if you straggle in, and 2.) This is a cash only business. I did not see any ATM's on property, so plan ahead if you plan on coming with a large group or plan on going to town on the alcoholic beverages. The Carroll Gardens feel is apparent here, which is why it took me out of those Montreal vibes and into Carroll Gardens. I would like to return.

If you're coming here in the morning, come after 9:30am or 10am to be safe. When I arrived at 9am one morning, they said their cooks weren't here yet and didn't know when they will open. After I read some reviews, it turns out that this is normal that they do not open on time, so fair warning. I ended up coming back another day and finally got to try this spot out. It's been highly rated for their brunch, especially the pancakes so I had to try it. We started off with a Coffee ($3) and Grapefruit Juice ($3.50). For our meals, we shared the Pancakes with Mixed Fruit ($13.50) with 2 Sunnysideup Eggs and Sausage (+$5) and Pressed Pulled Pork Sandwich ($16.50). I'm not a big pancake person, but this was great to share. They are warm and fluffy with a crisp on top --nicely done. For the pulled pork, I surprisingly enjoyed this one with the tender pork yet crunchy panini crust. Also love when a restaurant offs both salad and fries as a side, so you get the best of both worlds. Plus, these fries are so damn crispy and delicious! Overall, delicious meal and I'd love to try out their dinner options as well. While the food is good, the service is a bit slow and they are CASH ONLY. There is an ATM machine in the back, which charges you $2.75 though.

Almost thing this is a whole in the wall? Note that this place is CASH ONLY. My friends and I came on a Saturday afternoon (group of 5 people) and although there was a line, it moved pretty quickly. Food was good, larger portions, and most dishes came with a side of salad and fries.. we call that balance! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the ham benedict which I shared with a friend. Pulled pork was tasty but can get a bit dry, ham benedict was just okay in my opinion only because I have had better in other places. The breading for both of these items were very good though - not sure what type of bread but it was thin and yummy! Fries were good, as was the salad! We also ordered pancake for the table which was 100% a great idea. It was probably the best dish there because it was so fluffy and shareable! I would definitely come back here again for a good brunch with friends!

Great food are there last year. Move to Brooklyn and I intend to frequent. Convenient and quick for me to get to.

Well-priced brunch spot with decent food! We opted for their egg dishes, which comes with fries and salad - a great value for the price! The Open-Faced Western Omelette is your standard omelette with sausage, peppers, and onions, whereas the House Cured Salmon gave an elevated taste to the scrambled eggs, YUM! The place is CASH ONLY and doesn't take reservations. We waited ~30 min for a table for 2 on a weekend. Overall, would come back to try their pancakes!

We are able to get in and out quickly. Food was delicious. Pancakes que crispy on the outside and soft of the outside. I ate fruit topping separately because pancake didn't need. Outdoor patio had nice ambiance too. Can't wait to come back for dinner

Hmm, though the service and food wasn't horrible, our friend who picked up the tab for our lunch did not leave a tip and so the waiter came out to confront us about that. We didn't realize our friend did not leave a tip so we went in and made one. However, I see why my friend did not want to leave one, as customers who came in before us were served before us, and we were not really checked upon until we flagged the wait staff down. Food wise, I don't think there was any goat cheese in my spinach and goat cheese quiche, and the salad greens were wilted and why can't you trust us with black pepper. So many other places to go.

First off, this is a cash only establishment. In my opinion, this needs to be posted somewhere so you can see before you are seated. We ended up paying 3% for ATM withdrawal. The food was average. Nothing special. Coffee was ok.

A brunch spot favorite. The pancakes with fried eggs are my go to meal...dark, thick, hot and flavorful. If only they would provide room temperature butter. (Cold butter for hot pancakes is a pet peeve.) Service was satisfactory. Restaurant is cozy and you can expect to be seated very close to another table.

I kept hearing the pancakes here were some of the best (if not the best) in the city so I. An one Sunday to try them out. There was no wait outside on the back patio and since there was shade and fans I sat back there. Staff was attentive which was nice since I was dining alone. I ordered pancakes with mixed fruit, eggs sunny side up with sausage and a grapefruit juice. The food came out pretty quickly. The pancakes were good. I definitely see what everyone means about them being a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I would get them again. My sausage was a bit burnt and my eggs were runny so I wouldn't get either of those again. It's cash only so if you don't want to use their ATM, bring cash.

The food was really good. The service was a bit slow but there were a lot of people, the employees seemed overwhelmed by this. This place only takes cash which was strange. I suggest getting there early because the wait can go from 30 mins to an hour. While there, these 2 ladies were arguing with the servers and making a scene, the employees did their best to handle it but did not have any support from management. The tables were really close together which made eating uncomfortable.

The food hit the spot. We went for a early brunch and we waited for about 30 mins to be seated. I recommend going early/with time before you're starving because you'll likely have to wait a little as the dining room isn't too big. We ordered the pancakes with berries and they were hands down some of the best I had. The edges were crispy and they were so fluffy. I ate the whole serving by myself lol, but I recommend splitting them and getting another plate to share like the egg options. Overall I really enjoyed our experience and would recommend for you to try it.

3.8 stars. CASH ONLY I hate the fact they're cash only so that was a bummer. I saw on instagram that they have the BEST pancakes so I had to see what the hype was about. Personally, not the best. Chez ma tante still reigns supreme with that title but I will say it's a good pancake. Crispy edges and fluffy middle. I do wish it tasted more buttery and had syrup already inside the pancake. The eggs had no seasoning so having to add salt to it which is something I never do, was also throwing me off.

Sunday morning and it was packed Worth the wait for the pancake stacked Delicious flavors coated in sweets Three of the four dishes were such a treat Cozy, tight, and Venetian style decor Indoor and outdoor spaces to explore Cash only plus tax added was not cool But beautiful plate setting made us drool Totally would come again for dinner Without the wait I would be a winner Must gets were the French toast and pancakes The unlimited coffee refills kept us awake

Literally the BEST PANCAKES I've ever had in my life. Fluffy with crispy edges! Amazing! Great customer service and vibes.

Quick Sunday morning breakfast - plenty of open tables! Service was good and quick! Got the following: - coffee: refillable and quick service - pancakes: absolutely one of the better pancakes that I've had in the city, fluffy and airy WHILE not being overwhelming sweet. Even with the syrup, it still delicious! - omelette with ham and Swiss: not heavy on just eggs like most omelette are, this is very well balanced with the salad and fries! Would definitely come back again for breakfast! Celebrities seem to like the spot as well - spotted two on our way out! Reminder: cash only, they do have an atm towards the bathroom!

The best pancakes I've ever had. They have the best breakfast. Try to go on a weekday if you want to go when the wait isn't too long. If I still lived in Brooklyn I would go back way more often!

The brunch here is good but I don't recommend dinner. It's quite expensive but the food was not tasty. The lamb was dry and tough and the salmon did not smell fresh.

The food here is good I've been here several times for brunch with my family. If you have kids and you want to have ample time, space and embrace the ambiance while enjoying some mimosas without having to worry much about a crowd of people it's good to get here early or just when they open so you can enjoy the service without any issues. It definitely gets packed and the wait times can definitely discourage you so my suggestion is to get here early if you are dad or mom wanting to peacefully get out and enjoy brunch with the kids.

The food amazing. The servers were super kind. The place really felt like you were home the way it was decorated as well you can tell it's family owned restaurant. The food tastes like something you'd make at home but just better. Over all recommend.

A neighborhood classic with the best pancakes ever. All egg dishes come with a nice salad of mixed lettuces & crispy fries. Back yard dining area in addition to the main indoor space. Gets crowded on the weekends -- often lots of strollers -- so can get quite noisy. Get here early to avoid a line!

Cute small little place with an amazing menu! We went for brunch on a Friday and only waited a few minutes. The spinach and goat cheese quiche was light, fluffy and so delicious! The fries are a must! We also got a stack of pancakes to share and I will be dreaming of them for a while! Can't wait to go back!

My favorite place to eat French brunch! I love their pancake & their madame croque so much! Highly recommend a side order of their sausages - delicious! Their infamous pancake - crunchy on the corners and fluffy + buttery inside. The fruits and maple syrup complements the pancake so well. The pancake with the syrup is not overly sweet, which I preferred. Side order of sausages and egg - you can request this with ur pancake order. The egg was so delicious and beautifully made. The sausages were so delicious - it was definitely good quality. Madame Croque - some sort of bread with ham, cheese and sunny side egg, salad and french fries. Super delicious! Love their fries so much! Love the decor - makes me feel like I was in Paris at a cafe/bistro. P.S - Cash only. There is an ATM in the shop.

Some of the best pancakes I've had, ever. They were so good we returned again the next day. I ordered an omelette with goat cheese, forgetting that I don't like goat cheese, and at first I did not like it but it quickly grew on me. It was well stuffed with cheese and spinach. The field greens were nicely seasoned, and the fries were good. Laid back ambiance, great for casual brunch. A bit small on space; most tables seemed to be for two, but of course they can push them together for a larger group. Cash only. Will definitely be back. It's the kind of place where I would like to try everything on the menu at least once.

I have come to Cafe Luluc several times and I have loved everything I have tried. Always a go to spot for me and my partner.

Came here for brunch after massages for a Zen Frenz Weekend with some friends. We're lovers of all things French and Café Luluc had great reviews on Yelp. They're walk in only, so no reservations. They're not huge so I can understand not wanting to deal with reservations. The turnaround time wasn't too bad. There were a few people waiting out front but they all put their names down already so by the time we walked up, it was only about a 15 minute wait and it didn't even feel like that much. Since it was chilly out we sat inside. They were packed everywhere. They have dining inside, out front and out back in their patio area. The place was bustling. We ordered a pitcher of sangria and enjoyed our dishes family style. Mushroom and Asiago Cheese Omelet - very tasty but I would have loved to have a bit more cheese in the omelet. The omelet comes with fries and greens but if you don't want the fries, you can just ask for double greens and that applies to anything that comes with a fry side. The fries are shoestring, well-cooked and crisp. Scrambled Eggs w/Smoked Salmon & Scallion - this was a nice dish but I wish the eggs weren't so dry. I like a wetter scramble. I had double greens with this dish. Chickpea Salad w/Shrimp - OMG this salad is amazing! The dressing is so good and everything just worked well with each other. I'd probably order this on my next visit. Eggs Benedict - this was a solid dish, perfectly poached eggs and silky hollandaise atop English muffins with ham. Merguez Sausage - I'm happy I ordered two sides because every one loved them. They were served with mustard and another sauce, both great accompaniments. Pancakes - we ordered this for us all to share because their pancakes are really good. They're caramelized, crisp and fluffy. You don't even need much syrup. They're served with fresh fruits on top. Two are enough for one person. We all were able to have a taste. Carlos was our server and he was super attentive, despite there being a full house. Our brunch was wonderful and the staff was stellar!

What a cute breakfast spot! My friend wanted to take me here to try the pancakes but I ended up not getting them. However, they seemed like a super popular option because I noticed that a lot of people in the restaurant had seemed to order it! Food - I ended up ordering an egg scramble that had salmon and my friend and I shared french toast with chocolate. The egg scramble was just okay - it was a little salty but tasty. The french toast was also just okay. It was sweet, but nothing stood out about it. Service - The waiters were extremely friendly and the food came out really fast! The space was a little cramped and our plates took up most of our table so they actually combined our table with another so that our french toast was near us. They came to check up on us often and made sure we were comfortable. Environment - The aesthetic of this place is super cute! The design of the floor, the sliding doors, the tables were all super cute. It definitely felt like eating in a cafe in Paris. I would definitely give this place another shot to try those pancakes!

-Fettuccine in a creamy pink sauce 8/10 it was rich with flavors but the lamb sausage are salty -Scrambled eggs with house cured salmon and scallion 4/10 it was decent, just no seasoning -Hot chocolate 6/10 the chocolate was dark . . . -Fettuccine in a creamy pink sauce $21.00 -Scrambled eggs with house cured salmon and scallion $16.00 -Hot chocolate $4.00 Total: $45.00 (included tax) . . . . . #brunch #breakfast #food #foodie #foodporn #lunch #instafood #coffee #foodphotography #foodstagram #yummy #dinner #delicious #brunchtime #foodblogger #cafe #healthyfood #foodlover #homemade #eggs #pancakes #sundaybrunch #love #instagood #vegan #restaurant #tasty #yum #healthy #foodies

Came here YEARS ago with a group. I remember the food and service being really good. And the staff gave us free refills on coffee. It's just so out in Brooklyn that I wouldn't likely go again. But if you're in the area it's def worth the try.

Came here for brunch mid week around 11 am and had to wait 30 minutes for a table. The pancakes were absolutely phenomenal! I would say #2 best pancakes in the city for me! Really big portions so I recommend sharing! Servers were nice and the ambiance was nice. It's a cash only establishment so make sure you have cash.

A GREAT experience! Keep in mind that this place doesn't do reservations or credit cards (but they do have an atm). The meal was great and so affordable! Where in nyc can you get a dish and 2 sides for $15? We ate in the back patio which had heat lamps and was quant. Would love to come back!

I would come here just for the fries if I'm being honest! They were perfect and the side salad was nice to have with my omelette too. The omelette was pretty good, but preferred the quiche to it. Really cozy spot with pricing you can't really beat.

Came here for a nice brunch and because I previously saw pictures of the cheese steak, which looked super yummy. My girlfriend and I have also seen this place quite crowded when walking by in the past. Now that we've finally tried it, I can report that it's totally fine but really nothing special. The seating first of all was pretty good, and I liked that they set up a drape to block the cold air from outside coming in. Service though, was a bit slow in terms of both our food and things like water refills and the check, but nothing too bad for such a busy place. I think my main issue was just that the food was not very good. My cheesesteak was hard to eat as the pieces of meat were both thick and super tough, so I had to gnaw and yank to rip off bites. Even still, a lot of the steak would just fall out because of how it had to be eaten. I think chopped or thin sliced meat would have been a lot better, and also with peppers added. The fries were ok but soggy, and the salad on the side was both sad and just not necessary. Again, nothing was terrible but I personally wouldn't recommend this place based on the food. I think at best people like the crowded diner/bistro vibes inside, but that's not enough to warrant a recommendation from me.

This is my second visit. The first being pre pandemic. As with the first time I left a satisfied customer. We had pancakes with fruit topping Sunnyside up eggs with bacon and eggs Florentine accompanied by salad with a dressing that was absolutely divine. The staff is very friendly and professional. I'm sure this won't be my last visit. Oh make sure to bring cash. They don't accept credit card or apple pay, etc. The nearest bank is a bank of America.

I always loved going to cafe luluc. Haven't been in quite some time and was so excited to go. The staff as usual is always great ! Friendly and very attentive! I had the goat cheese and spinach omelet and a pancake , drink was a mimosa. The omelette is seemed with fries and greens. It was just enough food for me but I couldn't leave without trying the pancake. I kid you not when I tell you this is the best pancake I've ever had! After a few bites I felt accomplished. It was so satisfying! This has always been one of my favorite places and of course I will definitely be visiting again

We came here for a Sunday brunch. Two things to be aware of: they only take cash and they do not take reservations. When we made it here, we put our names on the waitlist and were told to come back in around 25 mins. The interior of the place is adorable and really feels like you're transported into a bistro in France. The menu is extensive and the prices are reasonable. We got the spinach and goat cheese quiche as well as the infamous pancakes. The quiche was superb! Filled with spinach and goat cheese and the fries were crispy! The pancakes were amazing. Super fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. Honestly, overall the experience was positive until the last bit. We had just hit the 1 hour mark of being at the restaurant and were told they need the table, basically making us feel like we were being kicked out (we were going to leave soon after anyways). I absolutely despise it when restaurants do this as it really negatively impacts the experience and makes people really feel like commodities.... Not pleasant whatsoever

Went to this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. My friend and I thought we had beaten the brunch rush, but the restaurant was popping. There are both inoor and outdoor seating. We opted for outdoor since it seemed less noisy than inside and more airy. Although I think this meant we were a little forgotten. I tried their sangria, pancakes with bacon and eggs. The sangria was refreshing with a very few pieces of fruit in the glass. Taste was still great. The eggs were over easy and done the right way. You get about 4 strips of bacon but there were 2 that were burnt beyond consumption. (I received these a few mins after my pancakes, so I forgot to take a picture) The pancakes were top notch. They were soft, fluffy, and huge. They were topped with fruit and powdered sugar. Minimal syrup necessary. My friend got the French toast and eggs Florentino which She enjoyed. Overall, I'd get the pancakes again, sans bacon, and probably try something else on their menu.
