Excellent eggs and bacon but plate was cold and had to wait for toast that arrived separately. Once weather is cooler I like a hot plate! But I’ll definitely return if in the area. Thank you for spotlessly clean environment and friendly service.

Great selection of food, extremely friendly staff and great service. A typical greasy spoon cafe but very well done!! Will visit again!

Just my sort of place! It was a first visit, so not sure which counter to order at that's the only downside. I had a halloumi and tomato roll and my daughter had a wrap with halloumi mushroom and lettuce; both delicious. The bread roll was the best I've ever had! Lovely cup of tea as well. I live a few miles away but plan to visit again ASAP!

I would highly recommend the sausage baguette with cheese as it tastes amazing . Even though we missed 1 part of our order the staff went above and beyond to get the drink to us that was missing, which was greatly appreciated by me and my partner. Thank you again to the staff at this cafe , will definitely order again.

I enjoyed myself at Café Lulu. I visited early as they were opening up and the girls were very inviting. My omelette came well made and nicely presented. I would think during the day it is buzzing with people as it is a quality establishment and has no competition in the immediate area. Floor to ceiling windows on two sides for a spot of people-watching as you drink your latte. Excellent.

Don't let the broken sign put you off, a lot of times places that are a little bit... Disheveled, can be the best places to go. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and in a pretty cool location.

Absolute best coffee in Herne Hill and South London! Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Such a great selection of take-home beans. Love the seats outside. All the pastries I’ve tried are also really good, especially the banana bread.

I grossly misunderestimated the time left before my train arrived and the barista made my chai latte at a speed that should be considered superhuman. I made my train AND it still tasted delicious AND she was so, so nice about it. Absolutely star quality service.

I came across this place by accident and what a great accident it was. Exceptional coffee and service plus a charming warm space at a train station.

We were looking for somewhere to shelter from the rain and have a coffee and pastry and this ticked the right boxes. The coffee was decent and we had a Pain au Chocolate which was good too. Staff were friendly and efficient and it was a nice space - not too big and not too small.

Such a beautiful location and a really well organised, safe space for children and babies. The food menu has a great selection and the prices are more than reasonable. The staff were kind and the cleanliness was unmatched, I mean really - everywhere was sparkly clean and there was even a meticulous process for handling toys that had been in children's mouths. Very smart and well thought-through design. Will certainly be taking my 2 year old there again.
