Before Logan Square had Longman & Eagle, it had Lula Café. More than a decade on, it's easy to see why people flock for its locally sourced menu, Sunday brunch and Monday night farm dinners . Read more

Every trip to Chicago includes a bfast at Lula Cafe. It's so seasonal it's hard to rec a dish, but the bread baskets , you should get all 3, are a standout! Patio is shaded in the am so bring a coat

Voted Best Overall Brunch in 2015! From the service, to the decor, and of course the amazing food, we just love this Logan Square gem. This is one spot we could eat at again, and again, and again. Read more

( cornbread French toast with peaches , butterscotch sauce, brown sugar pecans and lemon yogurt)this dish was literally heaven on earth, incredibly delicious and unique taste. Baked feta was good too.

Heather Bell

I love Lula. Right now they have a cornbread French toast and it is amazing. I highly recommend it. However, I was not sold on their Bloody Mary ...it had a weird sweet flavor to it.

Chicagoist

Farm-to-table dining has been a buzz phrase for years now. Every Monday night from 6 p.m. Lula unleashes a 3 course farm dinner menu for $38. A great deal for one of the best restaurants in the area. Read more

Just checked out a spot with my friend last Friday. Perfect place to have brunch : friendly staff , nice drinks. Highly recommend to try shrimp and grits . Also don't forget to try their homemade pastry

Benjamin Blackmer

Lula Cafe is amazing. They essentially have two menus. The more static, less expensive is great and still has items from 12 years ago. The chicken is incredible. The other menu changes and is great.

Lucille Fisher

This is my second visit & every time it's been very satisfying. My current brunch place in Chicago. Very creative & delicious menu. Can't wait to go back!

Bobby Kennedy

Brunch is incredibly popular but it's not as hard to get into at other times. Always a friendly staff and something seasonal and delicious on the menu.

Kristeena Sarver

The brunch menu is fantastic. Stone fruit salad and the trout scramble were both amazing. Great service, inventive food, and great drinks. (but...don't order a bloody mary - it was pretty terrible)

PureWow

Lula is not exactly the go-to for cheap eats. But, this colorful, flavorful quesadilla stuffed with acorn squash and green onion , ricotta , guajillo chile and queso fresco is an exception to it. Read more

Brunch was amazing! Only waited about 15 minutes for a 2 top. They sat us at the chefs counter in the back (amazing) I ordered the Mexican seafood stew with rice off the specials menu. It was incredib

Outstanding farm menu every Monday evening, I recommend with wine pairings . Chef has thoroughly thought out each dish, seasonally.

Chicagoist

Lula has been dedicated the the localvore, farm-to-table mindset longer than it’s been trendy , offering up things like Brown Sugar Griddle Cakes and house-made pastries , as well as lunch staples. Read more

Fantastic vibe, fantastic food and drink, and top notch service. Best restaurant in Logan Square and worthy of its accolades. A good place to eat if going to an event at Stan Mansion a block away.

Stina P.

this not so hidden spot is authentic and spunky. i could eat breakfast , lunch , cafe , & dinner here for the rest of my life. snag a free lu or la pin at the front and order the beet bruschetta

Thrillist

Get the brioche French toast for breakfast , the pork shoulder braised in milk for dinner , and a Gold Dust Woman with Scotch and grapefruit to sip. Read more

If I could eat the Spring Onion Tamale everyday, I would. Steak and Eggs have a nice twist with crawfish butter and wonderfully fresh asparagus .

Inventive and market-driven, the Spinach and Endive Salad at Lula Cafe — featuring apple , pecorino , hemp seed and buttermilk dressing — is divine. Read more

Kate Schaffer

The cafe items here are my favorites. They are simple and I always crave them. Turkey sandwich with bacon , peanut noodles , baked french feta !!!

Eater

Diners pack the house for breakfast and brunch classics like buttermilk pancakes , brioche French toast , breakfast burrito , chilaquiles and more.

Farm to table concept! Really fresh and a lot of vegetarian options ! Please make sure to book in advance by calling them else expect a couple of hours of wait time

We’re just going to pretend we’re training for the marathon or a 5k and chow down on the buckwheat pappardelle with lamb bolognese , bianco sardo, and a sunny farm egg . Read more

Totally in love with this place. Nice atmosphere and delicious food. Try the slow-cooked shortrib. They also serve excellent Reissdorf Kölsch from Cologne :-)

Amazing amazing amazing. Good for both dinner and brunch . Loved the special duck breast for dinner , banana griddle pancake , and Royale sandwich for brunch .

Andrea Tanzi

I thought it was awesome. The food is really good the portions are big the coffee is stupendous and great music

Max Wenneker

Crispy pork belly and carrot cake were both incredible. Didn't love the vegetarian options . One side of the menu is set and the other rotates daily.

Natalie Uyeno

Great food & service! Their breakfast potatoes are the best I've ever had, and I'm normally not a big potato eater! Also, the homemade blueberry jam is to die for!

Sabina Kajtezovic

Great peanut sandwich . Vegan heaven. Cool cocktails . Great seating outside . Worth the long wait .

Epicurious

Serving all three meals, the café reaches its culinary climax with dinner entrées , but if you want to hunker down for the day, start with the breakfast brioche French toast , and keep on eating. Read more

Jen Marquez Ginn

The bacon is amazing. Ham sandwich was delightful. You can pass on the Bloody Mary ; you'll get a better one at Rockinghorse.

Andrea Ojeda

We are at the bar since we didn't have a reservation . The bartender was the most knowledgable about every little thing you can imagine. Plus, the food is always superb.

Noah Weiss

Insanely tasty and creative brunch . The savory shrimp pancake was lovely.

michelle jimenez

Food is soo good! Gets packed so go early to avoid the wait. It's so worth the food.

Mandy C.

One of my favorite brunch spots in Chicago. Menu varies by whatever local food is in season. It can get crowded & tends to be a slight wait but it's completely worth it!

Delane Heldt

Ham and Raclette Panino is delicious. Pairs well with the slaw . Get there early for brunch or expect to wait.

Tasting Table

Get the six-course vegetarian tasting menu , which plucks four courses from the specials, plus cheese and dessert . It's one of the city 's best deals: Read more

ᴡ Hinds

Sit at the chief counter in the back for the best service and experience. And always get desert . They are almost better than the main course options.

Carrie Jean

Amazing brunch , lots of vegetarian dinner options, perfect for friends or dates

BlackboardEats

Summer doesn’t usually scream soup , but the chilled cucumber soup at Lula Café is a must. Topped with crème fraîche and pickled chanterelle mushrooms , this is the perfect relief from a hot day.
