LuLu's Cafe & Bakery

Due to some difficulties with our espresso machine we will only be able to offer hot drip coffee and iced drinks until it’s repaired! Major bummer, we know, but wi-fi and phone lines are back up so give us a call for that brekky sando & a cold brew 📞

Unfortunately our phone line is down this morning but there’s coffee aplenty and a case full of pastries 🤠 Get on down here!

From the farm to the kitchen! A week ago I stopped in at urban farm in Washington Bottoms (the former land of nothingness behind Viet Hoa & the Kroger gas station) to see what was growing. They’ve done a killer job of keeping things going through that snow/freeze we got and am excited to see these cabbages & kale walk into the kitchen today. One of the ways we manage to use seasonal produce is by using a different brassica or green in our mushroom melt throughout the year. Cabbage is a favorite, all brassicas really. In this way we have a consistent menu item that can flex with what’s in season. It’s a win for all of us!

Made these muffuletta inspired bialy! Got a late harvest of green figs that we brined & turned into a tapenade, that’s in the middle. Then it’s topped with smoked carrots, cashew cheese & sesame seed! Inspired by ’s muffuletta rolls!

Bread for bread & soup pickup tomorrow is this big ol’ tordu (it means “twisted”)! It’s got a hint of orange oil, dried whole sage, and some blue corn masa. We’ll have FOUR extra of these if you feel so inclined to grab one.

We are here on a SUNDAY! Open till 2 this afternoon ✌️ ⁣

Opening an hour late today but if you need to get out earlier for your Bread & Soup Subscription we can make that happen! See y’all!

We’re gonna remain closed today! We’ve got some prep to knock out and can’t imagine too many folks are out and about yet. Lord willin & the creek don’t freeze we’ll be open tomorrow in some capacity✌️

🥖 🥪 🍠 We got a lil torta special today! Beet chorizo, sweet potato hash, tofu egg, cashew chz, cayenne sauce & mayo on a house made sourdough bolillo that’s got a lil blue corn masa in the dough! It slaps. $13 plus tax! Get warmed before the freeze. We’ve also got a Korean inspired soft tofu & sweet potato stew (think soondubu jjigae) to get you through.

🍄 Wanna get a lil freaky with that brekky sando today and probably today only? Ask for this koji cured maitake! Wild maitake brined in leftover & broth, smoked, then koji grown on it & cured for a couple weeks. Take a walk on the wild side!! Flavor notes of cured meat/cheese, coffee, deep mushroom umami, and bacon!

Soups are seasonally based (expect things like classic tomato veggie, beans & greens, golden tofu, creamy potato, etc). January starts next Wednesday! Sign up by Sunday (Jan 7) to get in!!🥖 🍲

Happy New Year! 🎊 Stephanie REALLY missed you, so she made these Orange Biscoff Cheesecake Squares and this Mexican Hot Chocolate Cake to tempt you in - come say hi! ❤️❤️

Pastry case is full! Brekky casseroles! Javi’s take on Rosca de Reyes (Three Kings Cake)! Hoppin John in the cold case for your New Year! Figgy Chai tea cake?! And a decent amount of day olds marked down! Come send us off for the year! We’ll be back on January 3!

🎉Brekky casseroles back in the case 🤓 Loadsa pastries, gingery sesame sweet potato salad sides, woah!

Don’t show up to the New Year’s party empty handed! A shareable 8oz of smoky salty sweet pecan brittle should do the trick ;-)

Had a special request for poppy seed challah so made a few extras! And the Trishmas Trees are back!

We’ve found it very nice to load the biscotti into the oven at the end of the day, turn it off, and allow it to slowly dry overnight. We’ve found it’s not so nice to forget you’ve done that & come in before the sun & turn the oven on.

🎄 ❤️ 27 of these creatures exist in our shop today. Guaranteed not to last long. These are a real labor of love ❤️ 🎄

Winter holiday preorders hit the web store yesterday! If you’d like to order something you can do that online or in person before Dec 18th. Pickup will be Dec 22 during regular biz hours (we’re closed 23-27!!)

We got a lil 3 bean chili left then it’s on to this banger: creamy chipotle potato soup with slightly smoked shredded butternut & crunchy tortilla strips made with blue corn masa. You can get light plant-based fare in Memphis but stick to your ribs, help you run 100 miles or sustain you through childbirth (real reports my friends!) homemade food with a focus on local/natural/organic ingredients? Shoooooo. You know that’s a lil harder to come by. Potatoes & onion from Lockard’s Produce, butternut , house smoked chipotles from urban farm, cilantro from .

It’s Friday but we baked like it was Saturday so we’ve got plenty to get ya through today!!
