Great place to get coffee & lunch! Friendly & beautiful waitresses. I've gone with friends during day & night. I like to come on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays for their ham sandwich & coconut juice. I prefer bringing friends in the daytime but I also love their taco Tuesday ! Taco Tuesdays are after 6pm and they're the best in OC!
Omg.. I finally made it to Cafe Lu. I start by saying I wished I had came here a long, long time ago. This place is the best I ever been to watch sports. They got TVs everywhere. And they got some awesome GIRLS wearing nothing but tiny bikinis and lingerie. I'll start by saying the girls here are aweSoMe!! The girls greeted every single person when they sat down with a FREE complimentary drink.. Another huge plus the girls don't pester you with repeated menu requests or lap dances. Honestly, I was surprised they just sit down next to you and go with your flow.. The menu is short. I forget what exactly but they had the usual bar bites like chicken wings and tater tots and beer. They are known for their variety of smoothies, slushies, coffees, and teas. I just had some beers but next time they're some games on, I'll come back and try their jackfruit smoothie. So if you're in the area and looking for that perfect spot to watch the game or fight, definitely recommend giving them a try. I know I wish I lived closer since the sports bars in LA can't match the vibe at infamous Cafe Lu.. I know it's called a coffee shop but it felt to me more like a layback sports bar.. And I've never been to a sports bar and spent$ almost nothing.. so I just tip the last girl I was talking too before heading out for IKEA..
Friendly staff! Gotta try the wings! Tonya and Jasmin were great, they took care of us.
Vietnamese coffee was delicious. We had a strawberry smoothie- I'm pretty sure it was basically pureed strawberries- so good! I think our waitress was Crystal (?) - she was very friendly and an excellent waitress. We also had a side of fries- cooked perfectly.
Friendly service with a great view!! What more can you ask for. Coffee was icing on the cake.
There have been many occasions when visiting the world famous Cafe Lu. From sporting events (watching my favorite Bay Area sports teams play in SoCal. 49ers & Golden State Warriors) to birthday celebrations, Cafe Lu is always a destination to hit up on my visit list! My goto beverages here are the avocado and mango smoothies. Iced tea is served here and it's complimentary. They do have other smoothies & juices. The Vietnamese Iced coffee (Cafe Sua Da) is the popular drink of choice here. I have enjoyed the conversations & company of Alani, Chella, Nini, Lorey and T (spelling?). Even though I'm not local to the area (I'm from the Bay Area, NorCal), they were very welcoming. All are beautiful and fun to be around. Cafe Lu can get busy during the times of major sporting events, since they have multiple TVs in the shop. Until the next time, Cafe Lu! Be sure to tip your servers!
Can't wait to visit again. The ladies of Cafe Lu have always been very nice and attentive. They make the effort to get to know their guests. To me, the standouts have been Courtney, Ariel and Ava. Maria and Josie are always fun. And the one that always makes the effort to spend time to get to know what is happening with me and retain the information for next time is Alani. She is absolutely dedicated to customer service
