Inventive, market-driven food in a casual, funky space
"Lula Cafe has been around since 1998, serving fantastic farm-to-table food in Logan Square. It’s a classic that works for all sorts of occasions, including weekday brunch and lunch when you’re in the mood to have a three-hour-long meal that might just take you into dinner. Which is also very good here." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru
"Inventive, market-driven food in a casual, funky space that hosts an especially popular brunch." - Bright Bright Great
"A casual breakfast spot noted for a beautifully fluffy omelet finished with a bright onion relish, making for a simple but memorable morning dish." - Sam Nelson
"Since 1999, pioneering farm-to-table restaurant Lula Cafe from lauded chef Jason Hammel has striven to keep the community at the center of its identity and operations, and in the decades since has earned a prominent place in the hearts of its neighbors and Chicagoans across the city. The friendly, unpretentious haven for all-day new American cuisine, Lula earned its first James Beard Award for Outstanding Hospitality in 2024." - Naomi Waxman
"Any neighborhood—in any city—would be lucky to have a spot like Lula Cafe. The farm-to-table dishes are always reliable, whether it's the perfectly roasted chicken or delicious circa-1999 classics like the pasta yiayia. And even when it's busy (which is all of the time), the excellent service always fills us with Midwestern pride. Like with many slices of Chicago, the food scene around Lula has changed for good and bad over the years, but this place is as vital to Logan Square as memories of the infamous Aloha billboard." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
