    Mango smoothie and Toffe Tastic
    Danielle W.

    I stopped by with my niece for afternoon pick me up. I got a mango banana smoothie and niece got a Toffee Tastic, oh and some kind of cake I can't remember what is was. The drinks were made perfectly and the cake was moist and melted in your mouth. The service was good and we were greeted right away. It didn't take long to prepare our drinks. Inside of the coffee were plenty of tables for you to sit and chat, read a book or study. I do want to come back and try other drinks. Their spring coffee menu is particular.

    Oh my gosh. I can't believe it took this long for an update. Lulu's is one of the best coffee shops in Indianapolis. My go-to order is still their iced dirty chai, but I like to add an extra shot of espresso and with the spiced chai. I also highly recommend the breakfast sandwich with the spicy feta! Everything about Lulu's is great!

    Gingerbread Man latte, gingerbread cookie, molasses cookie
    Kimberly W.

    I'm pretty sure someone recommended this place to me years ago, but I just now made it here to enjoy gingerbread latte season. It's a very unassuming shop, sitting in a strip mall, but they pack in some seating to make it tempting to stick around in. It was actually relatively busy when I arrived on a weekday morning, but I made it up to order when there was a gap, so I was able to order right away. I ordered their version of a gingerbread latte and a couple of cookies, and I barely had a chance to look around before my drink was ready. I thought the coffee and sweets were good. The pricing was comparable to what you'd see at a lot of coffee shops, so yeah, it's not inexpensive, but I quite enjoyed my drink. Could definitely see myself stopping by again

    Lulus is an underrated coffee shop in Indianapolis. The place is not talked about enough! They have super tasty seasonal drinks. I got the Croah which is a latte with espresso, strawberry, earl grey, and honey. The staff were nice. Only complaints in my opinion are not enough comfy seating and I wish they had some sort of loyalty program. They do have a ton of fresh baked goods and quiches. The company does also oppose which is another main reason to support them

    I can't believe I've missed this cute coffee shop, especially living on the nw side! My co-worker recommended we meet here for a quick meeting. Very friendly service, with a 90's coffee shop vibe! The foot traffic stayed steadily busy with several tables filled with customers. They have such a vast variety of flavors, food and treats. I got the seasonal Winter Wedding hot coffee with the egg and cheese sandwich on an English muffin. The iced sugar cookie tempted me so I added that to my order ... it was good! The coffee wasn't as sweet as it sounded so I really appreciated that!

    Yogurt parfait!
    Candy A.

    Came to Lulu's for the first time and the coffees = AMAZING! We grabbed the burrito, yogurt parfait and one of the pastries, and everything was so good. Wish we lived closer because this place is truly a hidden gem!

    LuLu's has been around for a long time, and since I moved, I only visit when I'm in the area. They are located between Planet Fitness and Nina Nails. The staff is friendly and dedicated to making your experience enjoyable. My usual order is a chai tea, but on this occasion, I opted for the featured matcha. While it was good, it felt like it was missing something. I also noticed that, like many other coffee shops, their prices are reaching an all-time high. Despite that, I will continue to support them as long as I can. I particularly enjoy their decaf coffee drinks, as well as the quiches and pastries. It's definitely worth returning for. Go check them out.

    Cute little coffee shop and bake house near st Vincent. I usually can't come here because they close at 3 and that's when I get off. Their coffee is amazing. I got a hazelnut pistachio latte and eeyores gloom. Both were delicious. Gloom was a little sweet but yummy and the latte was yummy and nutty. I also got a cookie butter cookie. I hope to go again for coffee sometime. They have the best combinations. Oh and the customer service is happy go lucky!

    Cinnamon Toast
    Luke W.

    Boggles my mind how they figure nine dollars for a chai, I noticed some cheap sugar powder from a plastic box was mixed into cinnamon, coconut milk, and hot water for my cinnamon toast crunch drink. It was sucrose flavored tea. Absolutely right on for Dunkin Donuts or most anywhere without a care for at most four dollars. I used to think Provider and Coat Check Coffee downtown were getting sassy with similar prices for their house made milks, syrups, and fine brew however this place certainly wins on shameless price gouging. I was happy with the many outlets for my laptop, upbeat chirpy service, and good location however no way could any deep pockets ever accommodate less than Starbucks quality for double the price.

    Did a morning errand, and saw Lulu's was around the corner. So glad I stopped. Did a Shot In The Dark that was outstanding - boldest coffee I've had in weeks. Their cinnamon scone was spot-on. Really a delightful little shop, locally run, women-owned ... ticks a lot of happy boxes for me. Definitely will return.

    Secret menu
    Aimee R.

    I had the sugar free vanilla latte and an egg salad sandwich. The bread was very fresh, very good sandwich. 8/10 The latte was good as well. 8/10 My mom ordered a bagel sandwich, I'd say hers was a 4/10 though. I didn't see it until after I ordered but they have some good suggestions on their secret menu.

    Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. Good.
    Katherine A.

    Lulu's is a hip little coffee shop that is a welcome alternative to the popular chains. They are located in a strip mall and attract local regulars, work out people and hospital staff. The staff is super welcoming and friendly. The coffee is good and they also serve a few sandwiches, tempting quiche and assorted pastries. The food is made to order, but comes out fairly quick. The sandwich was tasty and toast crunchy. The bacon was pretty thin - you can see through it. But the sandwich hit the spot. They have about eight tables inside and a couple outside (where you can bring your pup). Most people opt for carry out. They are offering assorted fall themed coffees at this time. Serving in paper cups and real plates.

    Why did it take me forever to check this place out?! It's spacious, has quite a few places to sit and do work. The playlist is great, they have breakfast options, more than just pastries. The two guys that were working had the BEST personality and would check on the clients that were hanging out. I tried their egg white, spinach and cheddar sandwich, which wasn't anything I'd get again. I'm sure the egg patty was one that comes from the frozen section, which is fine when I do it at home. They have quite the menu for coffee as well that I'll need to come back to try. They have a few that were the top sellers last year so of course one must try them all and a pastry of course. Also for those of you that like to work in a cafe, they do offer free WiFi for 3 hours. You can purchase more after that. It's a nice space with plenty of options and great service. They also allow dogs inside and have pup cups, from what I saw. Looking forward to going back again and trying some new things.

I had my three year old with me so we ordered the blackberry brown sugar latte and a kids hot chocolate. She picked out a blueberry muffin and I had a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. That muffin? Excellent. I was honestly a little jealous I couldn't steal it from her. My sandwich was great, exactly what you'd expect from the name. I really enjoyed the latte! It's not a flavor I'd normally go for and almost went for the cookie butter latte but I'm glad I tried something new. As for the hot chocolate--I've never seen my child finish a hot chocolate. Ever. She inhaled it. The shop itself was way bigger than I expected. Super welcoming and open with plenty of space and seating. It was pretty crowded but there was also still plenty of seating. We ended up sitting close to the register (I let my daughter choose where we sat) and the people behind the register were on top of it. One person overheard me tell my daughter I needed to go ask for a to go box and they grabbed one without me having to even get up. They were very kind and attentive! I really appreciated how welcoming the atmosphere was. I'm looking forward to going back soon!

It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee.

We did not have any wait time for a table. The menu is super overwhelming, there is a lot to read through and understand.

So next time, I will ask that they are all hot. My friend ordered the ying/yang bowl and it had 2 separate sauces,; white creamy and a red miso sauce. They were both delicious. We also had to order the matcha tiramisu. It came in this Japanese decadent box. The presentation here is fantastic.

I also ordered a lemon mint refresher, but they were out of mint so it would just be a lemonade. That was fine and I appreciated how she handled the situation and that she knew what Prufrock did and did not have in stock! She was great at communicating when I walked in that she needed a few minutes and then would be able to help me too. Another time I went with my parents on a late morning Saturday. My mom and I both loved our drinks, but we knew what to order. There were multiple people working behind the counter, but the barista taking orders was not friendly or very helpful on this particular day. My dad did not know what to order and asked what tea is refreshing and is one that the barista would recommend. The barista said that the green tea is really popular, but did not ask whether he wanted it hot or iced or give a recommendation for that. The tea came out hot on a hot day where we planning to walk the Monon and check out other local businesses. To be fair, I did ask him if he wanted me to ask for the drink to be remade or to get him a new one as I had overheard his order and also assumed it would be coming out iced. He said it was fine (but then complained on our walk). This was a bit disappointing. There have been times I have walked out after a few minutes of no acknowledgement from baristas here. It is not a cafe that I would want to sit in and work in as a lot of the space does not look workable. The last time I did come in with papers I planned to read in between appointments, I did not want to put my bag on the floor or my papers on a table because both were dirty. The book page wall has seen better days and would benefit from a revamp. I love the outdoor area though and the can tops are really cool. There is a lot of potential here, but when staff appears like they do not want to be there it makes customers not want to be there either. I would also urge the owners to be more receptive to criticism. The TikTok videos about Prufrock did not influence my review, but it did encourage me to leave my own review based on my own experiences.
