lula cafe

playful farm to table food fit for the hippest

On any given weekend morning, Lula Cafe is teeming with the hippest of hipsters brunching their hearts out. The Logan Square restaurant features local farm fresh ingredients and an ever-changing menu that puts seasonal flavors forward in creative and playful dishes, making it a great place to bookmark for repeat visits, as every visit will offer new perspectives on modern American cuisine.

The restaurant has been around since 1999, but remains a trendy choice and an established presence in the neighborhood (which no doubt has seen plenty of change in demographics over the past two decades). While the farm to table movement now flourishes in the city, Lula Cafe was among the first to champion this original kind of cooking, sophisticated yet unpretentious, creative yet casual, and committed to locally sourced ingredients. Whether it’s a breezy brunch or a sit down dinner, Lula Cafe continues to inspire generations of diners looking for food and drinks that are fun and unexpected.
