LULU GREEN

"Along with a terrific selection of bread, this restaurant and juice bar in South Boston whips up vegan meals that are much more than simple salads. For brunch, a special treat is the vegan prosciutto scramble, with seitan prosciutto and plant-based eggs. Wash it down with the signature mint cold brew iced latte. For lunch and dinner, global flavors reign, from the bowl with shawarma-spiced seitan, to the tacos with pastor seitan and grilled pineapple." - Nathan Tavares, Celina Colby, Megan Hennessey, Eater Staff

"This beloved vegan restaurant in Southie piles on the flavors for its plant-based plates. For a Mediterranean-inspired morning meal, check out the brunch sandwich 2.0, which sees a chickpea egg patty, tofu bacon, potato pancake, and cheddar on a grilled pretzel bun. The goodies are then topped with marinated kale, avocado, hot sauce, and tahini to temper the kick. Wash it down with the spot’s signature mint cold brew latte." - Nathan Tavares, Eater Staff

"Any time a restaurant has “secret sauce” on the menu, we reflexively raise an eyebrow, à la Dwayne Johnson during his wrestling days. Lulu Green’s version comes alongside some tasty oven-baked Yuca fries, so we give them a pass. Everything else at this plant-based cafe is flavored with a variety of Mediterranean spices, so Lulu’s definitely gets our sense of smell going more than anything The Rock was cooking. Order pickup and delivery on their website. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"South Boston’s cheery vegan cafe Lulu Green adds reishi to its hot chocolate, which can be made with either almond or oat milk. Add a double espresso shot, if you choose." - Dana Hatic, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
