I've been a Lulus customer for years. Both locations have the best coffee, great atmosphere, reasonable prices and great foods.
Love them.
Unique building, free wifi, good coffee. Can be noisy due to acoustics, so don't count on cellphone conversations while inside.
The girl who made my coffee had an attitude, but she made a mean cappuccino, so I forgave her. This place has cool art.
Lulu's At the Octagon is a pleasant coffee shop located in the "Octagon," the only surviving piece of the historic Cooper House complex, which was destroyed in the '89 Loma Prieta earthquake. I loved the old Cooper House and pine for the lazy days I spent on the outdoor patio, listening to Don McCaslin's band play their excellent mix of Latin & jazz standards & R & B. So my review of Lulu's At the Octagon is probabably based as much on that nostalgia as it is on the coffee, lol! However, the coffee is very good, if a bit pricey ($2.50 for the small 8 ounce cup). As the young lady who served me explained, it is "air pressed" through some kind of fancy machine, rather than filtered through paper, which apparently makes it much purer & more flavorful. And in fact it is very good tasting coffee.
