Cafe Luluc - Brunch restaurant in Brooklyn - 214 Smith St, USA

A quaint little diner. FYI CASH ONLY! The people were nice but so busy they took awhile to respond to requests. The food was good, but nothing to rave about. I came bc I heard about the pancakes.. they are like a skillet pancake, sweet and thick! My husband and I shared and we were stuffed! Got our own sides of eggs and meat. Mother in law had French toast, she really enjoyed them. I recommend getting there before 1030 on a weekend

Came here for brunch mid week around 11 am and had to wait 30 minutes for a table. The pancakes were absolutely phenomenal! I would say #2 best pancakes in the city for me! Really big portions so I recommend sharing! Servers were nice and the ambiance was nice. It’s a cash only establishment so make sure you have cash.

Okay, so I heard about the pancakes, and I LOVE pancakes and breakfast, in general. I suggested this for my family breakfast. First, I want to say that this place is super small. I expected more room and tables, but fortunately, we were seated almost immediately. It was quite busy, but the service was pretty good, even though there were some mishaps. Now to the food - the pancakes were pretty good. I'm more of a soft pancake girlie with a bit of crisp and some butter. The pancakes were really big and perfectly round. There were crispy edges, but the flavor was different. Not bad, but it's just different to me. I'd give it a 7.5/10. The pork sausages were good, and the eggs were... eggs. They needed some seasoning, honey. I couldn't finish my entire meal, so i saved the other half for the next day. My family finished their meal and seemed to have enjoyed it. I can say that the portions are just enough for 2 days if you have my type of appetite. LOL. Anyway, I'm glad I finally visited the famous Cafe Luluc. Overall, I'd give my overall experience an 8.5/10.

The only reason why I am not giving this place 5 stars is because is cash only payment. Let’s talk food. This has been one of the best brunch spots I’ve visited here in Brooklyn. The menu is very wide but I’ve only tried here the brioche French toast which are the best French toast I’ve ever had in my life. They are topped with strawberries, blueberries and apples that are prepared like the ones you put in a pie. Absolutely delicious! For $5 extra dollars you get to add eggs and sausage to this plate. I have pick of my companions dish, and they’ve been delicious as well. Also, it’s a very affordable place and has a very friendly atmosphere. Service is pretty good and welcoming. You can sit either inside or outside.

Thought this place might’ve been overrated due to the long wait but I WAS WRONG. This place is at least a 4.7. The coffee was excellent and atmosphere too. The real star of the show is the cheese steak sandwich and pancakes as a runner up. Really solid brunch restaurant, Parisian vibes & nice staff.

CASH ONLYYYY!!!!!!! Bring CASH!! there is a Bank of America across the street!!! the best thing was the Mac and cheese no bread crumbs once it cooled down and the French toast was great …we returned the fries and eggs dish with salmon that was NOT good and he took it off our bill which was GREATTTTT service thank youuuu!! We wanted brunch at 5pm lol

The food was really good. This was the first time I've ever had French toast and didn't use any syrup. The Brioche French toast were just great all by itself

It’s always crowded but I didn’t mind it because the pancakes are amazing. I had French toast with apple compote and it’s crazy how good they are at making such a simple dish. Their niche are the pancakes but everything else looked good and the drinks were great. Service was nice and friendly but reminder they only take cash! They have an atm on site for us non-cash carriers.
