Lula Cafe Cafe
On September 2, 1999 Lula Cafe opened in a small storefront on Kedzie Boulevard with a four burner home stove and a dented collection of thrifted pots and pans. Today, stretching three storefronts, it is the founding member of the nationally recognized Logan Square culinary community and a celebrated forerunner of the ‘farm to table’ movement in Chicago. We serve brunch that is casual, simple yet sophisticated, with ingredients like farm fresh eggs and grains ground at a local mill. Besides the daily offering of meat and fish from sustainable sources, we serve adventurous fare for vegetarians. While at dinner the food is more intricate and formal, we never cede the accessibility and youthfulness with which Lula was begun. Please join us.
Sip of Hope Coffee Cafe
Sip of Hope is the world's first coffee shop where 100% of the proceeds support proactive suicide prevention and mental health education.
