Fantastic food, generous portions for reasonable prices. The atmosphere was very friendly and we didn't wait long for our food. Great experience well worth a visit.

Delicious every single time from breakfast to dinner. I’ve gone to every meal time they offer and this place never fails. Food is super fresh and flavorful. Great daily specials!! I was a super fan from my first brunch. Cash only, atm on site though

I had the Pancakes, and they were amazing! Very nice french-inspired spot with friendly staff and not too long of a wait. Cash only, and I recommend coming with cash because their ATM fee is $$$

I’ve been coming to café Luluc for 20 years and they have remained amazingly consistent over the decades. Their pancakes and food overall never miss. It’s rare you find a restaurant that maintains its quality in both culinary skill and service but Cafe Luluc is it!! A true gem and worth the wait.

Our little gem in Brooklyn! We always stop by to lunch/brunch when in town. ( It is cash only ) The waiter and host are really nice.

Delicious food! I had the pancakes with eggs and sausage and everything was excellent. We came with a party of 9 and waited about 45 minutes without a reservation, which was expected. Service could have been smoother—our server left before we paid and we weren’t notified. Cash-only spot, so come prepared. Overall, great food and worth the visit.

Cute place! Food is great. Im adding to my brunch spot list and wishing to try their pancake next time! Make sure your party have all arrived otherwise they won’t let you sit.

Great brunch spot especially when the weather is nice and you can sit outside. Everyone there is super chill, the vibe of the restaurant is cool, food is delicious and the portions are generous. It gets a little crowded during peak brunch hours and there’s wait time even with a reservation but the place is definitely worth it.

We thought having a French breakfast would be the best way to start our day, little did I know, the special was chilaquiles! And I adore them so I ordered some and they were delicious. The coffee was great and the French toast was also fantastic. Great service and lovely atmosphere with good music.

When I visited the restaurant I was impressed by the large portions and the quality of the food. 🍳The breakfast was really good and the meat for dinner is of high quality. 🥩 I tried the meat with the sauce separately and it tasted great. However, when the sauce is served with the meat, it overpowers the flavour. 🥞 As for the pancakes with fruit, I would rate them 3.5 out of 5. The pancake itself is large, but unfortunately the taste was not impressive - I expected more. Quality ingredients, but not enough creativity in the combinations. There may be a queue in the morning, but in the evening there are usually seats available. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant and cosy. 💲Breakfast is approximately 30$ and dinner is 50$ per person. Only cash is accepted 💵 All in all, it's a good place for breakfast or dinner and I'll definitely be back, hoping for an even better experience!

Tasty Brunch Spot, fluffy pancakes and mimosas 😋🥞🍾 Came here back in November and just now getting around to this review…but it was memorable enough for me to remember this Sunday morning with my sister and hubby. Wait wasn’t too long but there is a queue…earlier is better. Menu has standard breakfast, brunch and lunch fare. I ordered the salmon salad and was pleasantly surprised with the generous portion of salmon, avocado and crisp fresh veggies. Salmon was cooked perfectly. Pancakes were so good. Crisp edges and fluffy goodness. Hard to share this. Eggs Benedict - good, potatoes could have been a tad more seasoned but they were cooked nicely. Love that you can order just one portion. Mimosas were a good accompaniment to a great brunch. Service was fast and attentive. Nice, lively neighborhood eatery.

CASH ONLY! Finally got to try the supposed best pancakes and they were not the best i ever had but still pretty good. It's a long wait to be seated, mainly because it's a small restaurant and feels kind of cramped. the staff is nice and attentive and answered all our questions. the food took a while to come out and it was pretty good but nothing crazy and honestly not worth if it's a long wait. the food is kind of expensive too. i would recommend trying it but only if you don't have to wait a while.

Breakfast was a succulent success. Fluffy pancakes that were already buttery (no additional butter provided or needed), sausage links, and choice of eggs, any style. The seating in the front part of the restaurant is a bit cramped, but there is outdoor seating near the front street and in their back patio. Well-suited for family dining inside the restaurant.

The only reason why I am not giving this place 5 stars is because is cash only payment. Let’s talk food. This has been one of the best brunch spots I’ve visited here in Brooklyn. The menu is very wide but I’ve only tried here the brioche French toast which are the best French toast I’ve ever had in my life. They are topped with strawberries, blueberries and apples that are prepared like the ones you put in a pie. Absolutely delicious! For $5 extra dollars you get to add eggs and sausage to this plate. I have pick of my companions dish, and they’ve been delicious as well. Also, it’s a very affordable place and has a very friendly atmosphere. Service is pretty good and welcoming. You can sit either inside or outside.

Cute restaurant, decent food, but the service at brunch on a Sunday felt chaotic. It took a while for the wait staff to take our order. While taking our order, the server seemed inattentive. I recall a moment where he was simultaneously pouring coffee with one hand while handing something to the table next to us. Efficient perhaps, but left us feeling like our server was in a hurry. Then, the table next to us that was seated after us got their food before us. I enjoyed my meal, scrambled eggs with salmon. I appreciate that the egg dishes come with both salad and fries, both of which were tasty. Overall it was okay.

I’ve ordered delivery from here quite frequently and it’s normally good, but I ordered a medium rare salmon today and got something that was ice cold and mealy in the center, something like 80% raw past the surface. I’m guessing they might have cooked the filet straight from the fridge??? Either way it’s not medium rare.

So crazy thing but I must say, worst thing here is the pancake. I know it gets all the hype and the other reviews are true, crispy edges and fluffy inside but that’s literally it. The actual pancake has no flavor and needs syrup. I am a fan of specialty pancakes with the fruit in flavor baked/cooked in. If you want a classic pancake that requires copious syrup, here you go! Otherwise skip that. Otherwise the food was shockingly good. We got a couple sunny side eggs and sausage (delicious of course), the open faced grilled chicken sandwich and chips and guacamole….that might have been the best chips and guacamole I’ve ever had. And based on the comments about the chilaquiles I think the sleeper here is the Mexican food. The grilled chicken sandwich was good, great sauce and stuffed once you tried to close it. The sourdough was delicious and toasty. I saw another table order chips and guacamole and clearly got more chips than us so they aren’t standardized with that unfortunately. Our service was also incredibly slow. I saw people who sat after us get food, drink, and get order taken before us. We waited about 20 min to get our orders taken and the food took long to come out. Unfortunately sandwich is not pictured. The Shirley temple was quite good per my bf but I gave up soda for lent so didn’t try. But it was so good he ordered two. I got apple juice and I’m not sure why I got a smaller cup, that’s always a pet peeve of mine, different size cups for juice vs soda or tea. Anyways I would definitely come back for Tex mex night or something else. Menu was extensive and a lot of things (salad, sandwich, pasta) looked good. Once again MUST DROP A STAR IF YOU’RE CASH ONLY IN 2025.

A quaint little diner. FYI CASH ONLY! The people were nice but so busy they took awhile to respond to requests. The food was good, but nothing to rave about. I came bc I heard about the pancakes.. they are like a skillet pancake, sweet and thick! My husband and I shared and we were stuffed! Got our own sides of eggs and meat. Mother in law had French toast, she really enjoyed them. I recommend getting there before 1030 on a weekend

The brunch here is good but I don't recommend dinner. It's quite expensive but the food was not tasty. The lamb was dry and tough and the salmon did not smell fresh.
