We were excited to find a place where you can sit and enjoy a sandwich and coffee. I ordered a breakfast bagel, egg cheese and veggies on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and my husband ordered the ham and cheese on a baguette. We also ordered a caramel macchiato and a plain black coffee. If you are dining in, they do offer a refillable mug and you can get up to three free refills. The drinks came out pretty quick and to be honest, we were very disappointed. The caramel macchiato tasted medicinal and the black coffee didn't taste like coffee at all. It put quite the damper on what to expect for food if our drinks were this bad. Our food came out shortly after we got our drinks. However, the baguette sandwich wasn't anything to write home about. It was dense and pretty dry. The bagel sandwich on the other hand exceeded my expectations. I didn't have high hopes especially after having the coffee and trying the baguette sandwich, but the bagel was perfection. The cheddar on the bagel was toasted and crushed to perfected, the cheese, egg, and veggie combo was fluffy and gooey. My husband agreed that the bagel sandwich was definitely worth it and would come back for. Customer service was nice, everything came out very promptly and fairly quickly. There is quite a bit of tables inside with a variety of high and low chairs and felt very cozy. read more

So Ive wanted to visit this place for years. Good bagel places are rare in Alaska. But I'd like to echo what others have said about this place- the bagels are good but the service is horrible. And I'd venture to say its intentional. The people who run this place are putting out some very bad, judgemental, shitty energy. The party I arrived with all purchased and paid for their items separately. After we left, we discussed our experience and we agreed that my feeling was not isolated. I ordered last and got some items to consume on site and a half dozen of bagels to go. I let the cashier know Id let their help chosing, but I would like to include a Rosemary Salt and to exclude sweet bagels such as Raisin. She confirmed my order. When I got home, I had no Rosemary and TWO Raisin. In hindsight I'm sure it was spite. She just seemed like that kind of person (mean girl, anyone?) Since I told her I was from Anchorage she knew there was nothing I could do about it. I gave her a good tip. WTF?!?! As a business owner that is just another D move. I hope she gets a flat tire when its -35 and whoever she calls for help doesnt answer her call. read more

The baked goods are made daily right in front of you, of course the sign implies that you are not allowed to feed the bakers just so you are forewarned the space is open and clean but informal and clean. The staff is the best part! They always make it wonderful to be here read more

My kids want to take me here every time we visit. Good little bakery and coffee shop that is always busy. Their bagels are good, but I wish they had more cream cheese varieties. Chive cream cheese is the most savory offered... would love a veggie or spicy offering... Kids always get bagel dog and they love it. Barista staff get drinks out quickly. I feel like they are served just a bit too cool as it's great you can drink immediately but they cool down too fast even covered. A lot of indoor seating available but it does get loud. Cool viewing area to watch bakers as well. read more

Approximately three weeks ago, my 16-year-old daughter inquired about employment while visiting your establishment. She was told by a staff member that summer positions would be opening soon and that she should check back in a couple of weeks. Taking that guidance seriously, she followed up about a week and a half later by visiting your website. When she found no application available, she took the initiative to submit a message through the "Contact Us" page, expressing genuine enthusiasm for the opportunity and providing her contact information. Unfortunately, she received no response. She also attempted to follow up in person, but when we arrived shortly after 3:00 PM--well before the posted 4:00 PM closing time--the doors were already locked. Today, while she was in school, I decided to follow up on her behalf. I initially spoke with a staff member and politely requested to speak with a supervisor, clarifying that I had no complaint but simply an inquiry. After some hesitation, I was placed on hold, and the call was disconnected. When I called back, I was met with an abrupt response from another staff member who did not identify herself but immediately stated that there were no hours available and that you were not hiring. I calmly explained the timeline and the information previously given to my daughter. I also mentioned her efforts to follow up responsibly and respectfully. During this conversation, I was told that whoever informed her about hiring "was wrong," and that her online message likely went unseen because the individual responsible for the website had been out sick. As a customer, this is not information I could reasonably be expected to know, nor does it excuse the lack of communication. When I expressed that the situation reflected poorly on the business from a customer service standpoint, I was met with a dismissive and unprofessional remark--that based on how I was speaking, my daughter would not be hired--and then the call was abruptly ended. At no point did I raise my voice, use inappropriate language, or act disrespectfully. I approached this situation with patience and understanding, only to be met with discourtesy and a lack of accountability. This experience has been deeply disappointing. As long-time members of the Fairbanks community and loyal customers, we expected a higher standard of professionalism and respect. Moving forward, we will no longer be supporting this business and will be sharing our experience with others. While I understand that hiring needs can change, the manner in which this situation was handled reflects a broader issue with communication and customer service that deserves attention. read more

A rare gem in Fairbanks! Really enjoyed the quiche (although if we are calling a quiche salmon quiche, I think it should have a bit more salmon). My family really enjoyed their hearty bagel sandwiches. The espresso is the most flavorful espresso we've had on our trip. The service was quick considering how hopping it is in here. read more

I've been to Lulu's a couple of times. My boss would bring in bagels and cream cheese from there on Fridays. That's how I became addicted to the Honey Walnut Cream Cheese. That creamy, sweet, cheesy, crunchy spread is crazy good. The service at Lulu's is not as inviting. When I arrived at lunchtime, the bagel case was empty and there was only 1 Honey Nut Cream Cheese to buy. When I asked if there was more, I was told that they open at 6 am so if I wanted bagels, that was the best time to get them. How about if you're open for lunch, make more bagels and cream cheese to serve since you're a bakery? To be honest, the rudeness won't keep me from stopping in from time to time but it's a shame they have to be that way. Maybe it's just me because the place was packed but maybe if they were nicer, I'd go for lunch too. If they had bagels... read more

I'm allergic to wheat & dairy so I normally steer clear of a joint like this. Mistake! I was able to get a delicious breakfast with a large enough portion to go own the day, and the coffee was fantastic. Friendly, efficient & effective service. If you could do wheat, those deep dish quiches and pie look a-ma-zing! read more

Good coffee & good food. Nice seating area if you wanted to sit and eat or chat with your friends! Great service!

The selection available was broad, granted I showed up a few minutes after they opened. The quiche slices looked huge and delicious. I got a breakfast sandwich on the rosemary salt bagel, a brioche cinnamon roll to go, and drip coffee. Everyone I interacted with was friendly. Service was prompt. I appreciated the coffee mug with free refills if ordered "for here". The bagel was really good however, the sausage on the sandwich was bland. I consider myself a cinnamon roll fanatic. I was unfortunately very disappointed in the cinnamon roll. First of all, it has raisins and nuts amongst the roll and I guess I'm a purist when it comes to cinnamon rolls. There is also essentially no cinnamon sugar mixture throughout the layers therefore very little flavor. There's some at the bottom though. Finally, the frosting tasted like pure cream cheese rather than cream cheese frosting. Overall, I'm excited to go back and try other bagels, breads, and quiches but I will not be getting another cinnamon roll! read more

Really enjoyed my lox and bagel at Lulu's Bread & Bagels. We visited Lulu's three times while staying in Fairbanks. It was one of the best breakfast spots in the town! It's also the only place I could find that served lox and bagel. As someone who loves salmon and was scouring Yelp for lox in Fairbanks, I was more than excited to se it on Lulu's menu. When you walk in, you can't miss the glass windows showing bakers pumping out freshly baked bread and bagels. I was a fan of all the bagels I tried and especially their lox with capers, onions, a tomato and scallion cream cheese. It was a super hearty, delicious sandwich that kept me feeling very full. I also appreciated the generous portion of lox. All in all, it was a win for me. Big fan of this cute, low-key breakfast-lunch spot. read more

Omg. The rosemary and salt bagel is seriously one of the best bagels I have ever had!! Combine that with the salmon cream cheese and it is seriously the best combo. Vibe is really nice here!! read more

Bright, clean interior with helpful staff that serve with a smile and friendly word. The bagel selection was great and the breakfast sandwich I had was the perfect blend of toasted bagel, melted cheese and scrambled egg. My wife really enjoyed her cheese quiche, too. The hot drink I ordered was served promptly and prepared as I ordered. This is now a must-stop for us on the way south from North Pole/Fairbanks, and probably other times while we're in town. read more

My first visit to LuLus was not a great experience. They had almost no bagels or pastries or bread and there was only 1 worker in the place. In LuLu's defense, it WAS 3pm. But I was still sorely disappointed at the utter lack of baked goods a Bakery had to offer. So I decided to give it another shot at redemption and decided to go for a morning visit. I was pleasantly surprised to find they had ay least 25 bagels in every type and flavor and there were tons a pastries and loaves of bread. I ordered a chai tea latte and a goat cheese veggie on sourdough. Both of my orders were finished quickly and tasted spectacular! The chai tea latte was rich yet lite and had the perfect sweetness. The sourdough bread on my sandwich was great - soft and delicious on the inside with a very crusty outside that gave a satisfying crunch when you bite into it. The goat cheese gave the sandwich such great flavor and the tomatoes and onions and lettuce gave it crunch and body and a freshness that all sandwiches need. I can say with certainty that I will be back here to enjoy some of the other treats they have to offer - but do yourselves a favor and only come before noon! read more

Excellent atmosphere, excellent healthy food choices, excellent coffee, excellent bagels.. and my favorite.. excellent soups

These people are kind and their food was so good that my husband and I weren't sure which to fight over. We loved their simple baguette breakfast sandwich (just baguette, ham, and cheese) along with the pumpkin white chocolate cheesecake. It made for a wonderful start to our weekend trip. I had to call back just to express how wonderful their bakery is. If you're leaving Fairbanks in the morning this is your stop! I would include a photo but we ate it too quickly.. read more

Had the most disappointing hot chocolate in my lifetime. Frothy? Yes, but where was the chocolate flavor? I also refrained from purchasing any pastry. Just looking pretty sad. read more

Got a mocha frap for myself, a dirty chai latte for our friend and a regular chai latte for my wife. My frap was perfect, and feed back on both chai drinks was "yummy". Got a ginger molasses cookie to share and it was nice crisp edges and nice soft cookie middle. Nice balance of ginger and molasses taste. read more

Felt like having a pastry so I stopped into this small bakery that offers a variety of bagels, pastries, sandwiches, cakes, and coffee drinks. Got a chocolate croissant & a sandwich. The chocolate croissant was a bit dry & burnt on one end for some reason. I've definitely had better. Saw an employee scratch her head & touch a loaf of bread with bare hands. Ew. Since this was my first visit, that's all I have to go on. Maybe this place is better than it seems but I was not impressed or enticed to return. read more

Of you want a bagel you are better to go to a coffee hut and get a bagel. I was in their to get lunch while I was on my 30 minute break from work. When I went in and there ordered my usual and it took them 20 minutes to make my sandwich they were also serving people that ordered after me other customers. It's 100% unacceptable read more

The interior of the place looks like and there are a lot of pastries on display, apart from bagels. As a bagel place, it really just completely failed to bring an authentic bagel experience - it felt like bread, not a chewy bagel. The scone I got was meh. And the coffee? Despite having Kaladi brothers, it tasted pretty bad. Not sure what went wrong. I guess it does the job when you don't have many choices? read more

Great coffee- great place to meet and chat- service is nice and usually done with a smile! We enjoy friends for coffee here. Carb-heaven!

I just dumped my $4 latte as undrinkable. The cup says Kaladi Brothers, but the brew is terribly over-roasted. The second-worst cup of coffee in my life (the worst being a McDonalds Mocha). They cookies we bought were ho-hum too, except for the size. Not worth the price. read more

I am giving this place 5 stars after reading everyone else's comments. Seriously? Taking points off for no wifi? I think more places should be like this one. I visited for the first time today. It is the only bakery in this part of town, and I am very glad it is here! I ordered black coffee, a whole wheat everything bagel with hummus, and a chocolate croissant. The coffee was delicious and served in a large hand crafted mug. The bagel and hummus were phenomenal! The hummus was hand made and even had chucks of beans in it. The bagel was toasted perfectly, and I love when bagels are more solid than chewy. The croissant was too buttery for my taste, but I know most people would love it for just that reason. I feel like I had a whole meal, and only paid $7.75, a super good deal for Fairbanks. The service was friendly and efficient. I will certainly return for more! read more

Everything you'd need for breakfast. Fresh breads, decent variety of quiche, 18 kinds of bagels, and tons of ways to make coffee.

i ordered a hot chocolate, bagel, muffin. it was all good but it was a little on the expensive side.

Great selection of breakfast foods. Fresh bagels, coffee, and quiches. Very busy for a week day mid-morning, but food was just what we needed for our long car ride. read more

Great local bagels, bread and salads.

Discovered this little cafe with my mother on our morning bike ride. The bakery is phenomenal. They make artisan breads and pastries. The chocolate croissant is a must have, but do get there before 10 am to get yours, they go fast! The cheese quiche makes you want to go back for more as well. Unfortunately, the coffee was a bit of a disappointment. My cappuccino was so light in weight (all foam, no coffee) when I picked it up, I almost tossed it out of my hand. read more
