This is one of those places that everyone wants in their town. The entire house has been turned in to a coffee shop. There is a ton of seating, even an adorable library area complete with a reading nook. I could have sat here for hours. Lots of pastries and breakfast items. Very popular with locals. The perfect place to catch up with a friend or curl up with a book.

Really cozy neat space with great coffee and treats and just overall a venue with personality. I’m rarely impressed with anything so a huge compliment to them. Busy place in the morning. Cash helps support small businesses by reducing the burden of credit card fees, something to consider. If handicap accessibility is important it isn’t great for someone to access independently or with a wheel chair. There is a lot of furniture clutter and some narrower walkways/steps.

We were quite surprised when we stopped at Lulu beans. We thought this was just a coffee shop. The atmosphere is so inviting. So many comfortable places to sit back and relax. The wraps and salads we grabbed were delicious. They were very affordable. We were amazed by how fresh the ingredients were and nicely laid out. My son loved the plastic container that the salad came. He has reused it for other meals. I highly recommended this place.

Simply put LuLu Beans is comfy, cozy, cute, quaint, and stylish. It's like the perfect breakfast burrito that has every thing you want rolled into one. Come hungry! Friendly staff brews great coffee, and they serve food too.

Lulu Beans is a quiet, small, and enjoyable coffee job that brings rustic charm to every corner. This Cafe is the perfect place to hang out with friends, or just to do your personal work. The menu has plenty of options like paninis and bakery items. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely lovely little place. The outside is very inviting and the inside is decorated with some wonderful art from local artists with various items available for sale. The staff here are the best, they’re all so kind and clearly enjoy working here as a lot of them have been here for years. Great people, incredible at remembering their regulars and what they order, I don’t know how they do it ! Their baked goods are always delicious, the scones are a favorite. While their lunch time is only a couple hours, 11am - 2 pm, I highly recommend stopping by to grab a panini or breakfast sandwich. They also have some great pre-made sandwiches, salads, etc in the cooler available at all times. Drink wise, I normally get an over ice Caramello with oat milk and as someone who doesn’t like their coffee too sweet, it’s almost always perfect. This is always the first place I recommend to people when they ask for coffee, lunch, or even just a place to hang out :)
