Lu Lu Beans is the cutest little coffee shop. The atmosphere is always so inviting. I get a chai every time I go, and it’s so good. It has a much stronger flavor than other coffee shops make their chai. Amazing as always💕

The chicken croissant was delicious, and my London fog was great to, just the right amount of foam. There was lots of fun art to look at and friendly people to talk to as well. Very cozy coffee shop.

Lulu Beans is forever the hidden gem of Willmar. It hasn't changed much in the last 15 years of going there, in the best way - still the coziest atmosphere with friendly faces and delicious food/beverages. It truly feels like a home away from home, and we love being able to come back and visit (now with kids of our own) whenever we're in the area.

Really cozy neat space with great coffee and treats and just overall a venue with personality. I’m rarely impressed with anything so a huge compliment to them. Busy place in the morning. Cash helps support small businesses by reducing the burden of credit card fees, something to consider. If handicap accessibility is important it isn’t great for someone to access independently or with a wheel chair. There is a lot of furniture clutter and some narrower walkways/steps.

This is one of those places that everyone wants in their town. The entire house has been turned in to a coffee shop. There is a ton of seating, even an adorable library area complete with a reading nook. I could have sat here for hours. Lots of pastries and breakfast items. Very popular with locals. The perfect place to catch up with a friend or curl up with a book.
