My wife and I noticed this place the other day and decided to try it. We were not disappointed! The tall guy behind the counter was super friendly and quick! We got a delicious coconut cream latte, cappuccino and he even made a little pup cup for my dog! 10/10 We will definitely be

Just had a delicious vegetarian breakfast sandwich & for the first time ever tried a bowl of soul hot tea drink… it was so good!! The personIn charge was very accommodating & cool as a cucumber handling each person who came in. Pleasant and cozy decor.

I'm writing this review because I want this business to succeed. The new location on Mission Street has been a big disappointment because the previous business - Coffeetopia iwas much better and less expensive. At first the layout of the coffee shop was nice and clean, but recently they are using much of the space for storage and the tables are crammed together.There is usually one person doing everything and I believe this is because there are so few customers. Coffeetopia had several employees working and they had many more customers.I will stop coming here until they fix some of these problems.

This lower review isn’t for the products or baristas at Lulus. Lulus has the best scones, tasty drinks, and nice staff. The problem is that they are constantly out of items. I think it took me 5 times of going there to finally get their New Orleans style drink, and I’ve been there once where I heard someone say “we’re out of that” to the first 4 things someone ordered. Management needs to plan their orders better. Or at least have signs up so customers will know what they don’t have before they wait in a long line.

This is my new favorite spot. Open 5am, drive through and they are super friendly. Stopping in before work or a funday out is perfect.

Delicious pastries! However VERY disappointed by the Chai tea with half and half I ordered from the midtown drive thru. It tasted like herbal water and was not even hot. Then the same day my mother brought me a Chai with almond milk from the west side location and it had even less flavor! She agreed it was horrible.I've gone to Lulus downtown and Coffee Cat when it was open and enjoyed a wonderful Chai many times. I spoke about these chai fails on instagram and I am sad to say how many sc locals stated they have had similar complaints with many beverages at Lulus. Soooo this posting is to ask you LULUS to make your drinks great again please!

Best coffee I've ever had, a small little stand with excellent service, greeted by a friendly smile every time! I'm picky with my oat milk and they serve the best oat milk latte with steamed honey

Kid-friendliness: They have kids items at a lower temperature and without coffee on the menu and by requestParking: There are spots to park as well as a drive thru as it's located in a lot with a number of other business. Service is fast and friendly and the quality of food and drink is good

Weak & not very flavorful (hopefully just a one timer)…the gentleman working was a delight

Happy to drive up & see Megan & Luke every morning smiling with my tasty locally Roasted cup of goodness in hand. Now that is Service with a smile. Lulu's always offers online orders for there own Coffee Roasted blends. Or if find them over on the corner of Pacific Avenue downtown Santa Cruz for Coffee, juices, pastries, sandwiches & so much more. Love them.
