Lu Lu Beans

I was looking for a nice latte for my morning fix. Lu Lu beans was close to our hotel and I headed there. Such a cute place. It's a former home turned into a coffee shop. Intimate rooms allow you to enjoy your coffee or do some work. Many were sitting out on the patio enjoying lively conversation. Staff was very friendly. My latte was nice and hot and flavorful. I bought some beans and found they source their coffee from Uproasters in the Twin Cities area. Great stop.

Your Home Away From Home.Lu Lu Beans promotes itself as "your home away from home" and lives up to the claim. Situated in what appears to be an old house turned into a cool, art-filled coffee shop, Lu Lu Beans feels warm and homey on this cold and rainy day.I only ordered a black coffee (which was excellent) but the food that went by my table looked amazing - as good as what Grandma would make, but my grandma never baked like this! I loved the employee-created art on the walls (some major talent) as well as the various rooms and nooks, perfect for a small group get together or hiding away while you listen to a podcast and enjoy a hot beverage. Don't tell my mother-in-law (who actually is an excellent baker) but we'll be sneaking away to this home away from home again the next time we're in Willmar on a rainy day.

Came here on a day trip to Willmar and just adored it! Such a charming coffee shop with so many different rooms to explore. I loved the atmosphere and how much thought they put into decorating all the different seating areas. To eat/drink, I had a cinnamon roll and a matcha latte with oat milk. The cinnamon roll was so sweet and buttery, and the matcha is one of the best I've had. The service was fast and the staff was friendly. I would definitely come back here and recommend it to anyone going to Willmar or passing through.

I had a beef panini and it was SO good! So so yum! I have to get another one. And the salad with the homemade croutons? ::chef's kiss:: It is just so good!! And I also got the carmello. Lulu Beans just take all my money...now! Everything is so good! I love this place! Oh and the service. When I go in, I feel like Im being served by dear friends. Its such a wonderful feeling.

Good coffee, good food. My only reason for not 5 stars is the drive thru and parking are some of the worst I have ever seen. Hopefully you don't drive a truck (but this is Minnesota so I mean... you probably do.)

VANILLA CHAI OAT MILK LATTE!!! omgg + cozy vibes inside and the sweetest people!!! I understand all the hype. Their CLT is also so good, served from 11-2pm.

Lulu Beans staff have ALWAYS treated me with respect and patience and answered questions that I've had regarding their big menu.The building is so cute and they have decent seating available inside and out. It gets to be pretty busy during the rush hour and I've had to leave because there wasn't room to sit.The only other concern I have is the parking lot. I wish it was bigger or have better parking. The drive-thru line makes it difficult to park sometimes. They have wonderful baked goods, Special K & Rice Krispy bars, breakfast sandwiches and burritos, paninis (11am-2pm), drinks of all kinds, and cold sandwiches/desserts/wraps/salads in the cooler for reasonable prices! There are many trinkets and pieces of art, post cards/greeting cards, home decor, towels, books, clothing, and jewelry to purchase as well. I love Lulu Beans, and I come at *least* once every two weeks.Whenever anybody asks me about places to go here in Willmar, I always recommend Lulu Beans.

So fun to go in and find a fun place to sit alone or with a friend. Have a snack and drink Highly recommend

I left a great review two years ago but quality and service have been falling ever since. Pastries and brew are good. Rude-ish staff and ice cold oatmeal that was supposed to be hot. Meh. It is successful because it's the only place like it in town.

What a delightful place. Food was incredibly flavorful and a great selection of options!!
